Free games and entertainment offers for the PlayStation community kick off in March and extend through June.
Hello again! The past 12 months haven’t been easy. And I think we’re all hopeful that we may be starting to see some flickers of light at the end of this long COVID-19 tunnel thanks to the tireless work of the medical community and people around the world.
In these historic times, the team at PlayStation wanted to thank the community by giving something back. These days, we could all use something to look forward to and another reason to stay safely socially distanced, so we are happy to be able to offer a free selection of great games and some entertainment offers.
Last April, we launched the Play At Home initiative, offering up two incredible PlayStation games for free: Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Journey*. I like to think they helped make the year just a little bit easier.
This year, we wanted to go further. So we’ve designed a series of free games and entertainment offers for our PlayStation community to make the next few months a little more fun and enjoyable.
This year’s Play at Home initiative is kicking off in March and extending through June.
Starting March 1, 2021
- PlayStation and Insomniac Games will make Ratchet & Clank PS4 available for free download for a limited time through PlayStation Store from March 1 at 8pm PST / March 2 at 4am GMT / 5am CET to March 31, 2021 at 8pm PDT* / April 1 at 4am BST / 5am CEST.
- Once you redeem the game, it will be yours to keep. This 2016 PS4 action-adventure hit from Insomniac Games revisits the origin stories of these beloved PlayStation heroes and features a great mix of outrageous combat and comedy.
Starting March 25, 2021
- Our friends at Funimation (a joint venture of Sony Pictures Entertainment and Aniplex of Japan) are kicking in a very special offer: extended access for new subscribers to Funimation or Wakanim in the countries they are available **. Funimation is an anime-focused subscription service and Wakanim is Funimation’s European division. While there will be additional details to follow, this offer is only available to our community who sign up for and download the Funimation (in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand) or Wakanim apps (in most of Western and Northern Europe) starting on March 25 for a limited time.
What we outlined today is just the beginning of what’s in store for Play At Home. In the coming weeks, we’ll share more details on free games and entertainment offers dropping for our PlayStation community.
I think we’ve got a great mix of games and entertainment offers lined up, and I hope this news made your day just a little bit brighter. We consider ourselves privileged to bring you this entertainment, and we are very grateful to be a part of your lives.
Thanks for playing.
*Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection was provided to PlayStation users in regions except Germany and China. Users in Germany and China received free access to Knack 2.
** FUNIMATION — On top of the standard 14-day trial, new users can get an additional 90 days 3 months access. WAKANIM — New users will get 90 days free. Unless you cancel your subscription before the end of the period, your subscription will automatically roll into a paid-for, ongoing subscription with a recurring monthly fee. Age restrictions apply. More information to follow.
Already own Ratchet & Clank through PS+ but good for those who don’t I guess.
The difference being that this one is yours to keep forever even if your ps+ runs out.
I’m actually curious about that, how do we claim it to own it rather than just as a PS+ game? Is it possible to do?
Sure it is. They’ll just change its price to “free” on the store. That’s all there is to it.
theVoltan: that’s NOT all there is to it. If it still is like it always has been, you will NOT be able to ‘buy’ this game for free if you already own the game through PS+. There’s been many examples of this in the past, e.g. people wanting a special version of a game they already had with PS+, and it required them to contact support to get rid of their PS+ license of the game. Sony really needs to fix this, but they probably never will.
just claim it on another account, problem solved :)
@ViperHD
This problem was fixed last summer. You can now purchase games outright that you already own through PS+
This is merely the beginning and more titles will be on offer. Also, it appears as though Funimation will be for for 90 days beyond the two week trial.
eu ja tenho era fixe fosse o wwe2k20 ou wwe2k19
ViperHD: that IS how it works but sony still hasn’t completely optimized the store on some of my previous ps plus games I have the option to outright purchase the games but for others it doesn’t give me any option except to download, this is the same way I redeemed last years play at home games ( the Nathan drake collection and journey) both were games given with ps plus but I now own them permanently
La verdad nuca he probado el juego no se si trilogía pero con este juego amenos tendré una idea sobre de que va el juego, y seguro que me encantara.
Is Canada included for the promotion? Funimation is available there too.
