Stay safe and pick up Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Journey for free from April 15 through May 5.
People all over the world are doing the right thing by staying home to help contain the spread of COVID–19. We are deeply grateful to everyone practicing physical distancing and take our responsibility as a home entertainment platform seriously, so we are asking our community to continue supporting the safe choice and the need to Play At Home.
As a thank you to all who are doing their part to lessen the impact of this pandemic, Sony Interactive Entertainment is pleased to announce the Play At Home initiative.
Play At Home has two components: first, providing free games to help keep the PlayStation community entertained at home; and finally, establishing a fund to help smaller independent game studios who may be experiencing financial difficulties continue building great experiences for all gamers.
Free Games to Play At Home
To support Play At Home, PlayStation will try to make those occasionally dull moments more exciting by offering Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Journey available for free* for a limited time through digital downloads from April 15 at 8pm PDT through May 5, 2020 at 8pm PDT Once you redeem the games, they are yours to keep.
For most of you, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection will need no introduction. This three-game collection from the masters at Naughty Dog includes Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception—all meticulously remastered for PS4. We can’t imagine a better time for globe-trotting adventures with Nathan Drake, an iconic cast of characters, and thrilling treasure-hunting action gameplay.
Then there’s Journey, a beautiful, celebrated adventure that is as moving as it is mysterious. The game’s life-affirming message is timeless, and perhaps more important now than ever before.
In alignment with SIE’s goal in preserving Internet access in the US and Europe, game downloads may take a little longer, but we appreciate the understanding from our community as we take these measures in an effort to preserve access for everyone.
Creative Funding
Independent developers are vital to the heart and soul of the gaming community and we understand the hardships and financial struggles that many smaller gaming studios are facing. With that, SIE has developed a fund to support them during this time. We have earmarked $10 million to support our independent development partners. More information about the fund, including participation criteria, will be made available soon.
During these days of physical distancing, fans have turned to gaming for moments of respite and enjoyment. At Sony Interactive Entertainment, we are privileged to bring this much-needed entertainment. We know this is just one small step and we are thankful to be able to offer this support to our players, our communities, and our partners.
*In Germany and China, users will have access to Knack 2 and Journey for free for a limited time (April 15, 2020 at 8pm PDT through May 5, 2020 at 8pm PDT).
I think that’s good that the last of us was pulled.. Infact I feel as though developers? Should not announce there game until it’s almost complete.. Like in the way that World War Z presented there game 👌… Other games we wait on for sometimes years… Anthem, Days gone, Cyber punk etc for example… Only for these games to come out and still need patch work, and update after update after update.. I hope for our near future that developers can announce there game? And bring it out in that same year.. In comparison to waiting forever and ever.. Every game is still going to need extra work done to it anyway so why not? Bring it out and work on it from there.. If it’s a good game then of course the community would be behind the game.. Take to the forums get constructive feedback.. And go from there I believe that, that’s a great plan for our future.. Ps… The world is still waiting on you Sony? To reveal the PS5 we’ve heard the specs and seen the controller.. Which looks good by the way.. But now we want to see the actual console? I have my money ready now, infact yesterday lol.. Thanks
Will they be available in Romania too? I’m romanian and I live in Romania and here it is 8:17AM and I looked and they aren’t free on the PS Store. By the way I can buy them from the mobile app right?
Seems everyone is missing an important point to these games…besides Sony being generous.

You may have received them with PS Plus but they aren't yours.
Not sure if you’re trolling. It means that you have a “window” to get them, and that window closes on May 5. But they’ll still be playable after that date.
