Binding of Isaac, Steamworld Dig, Escape Plan, Luftrausers, The Hungry Horde, more
Hi everyone. Before we get into the details on November’s new PS Plus games, we understand many of you are waiting for DRIVECLUB PS Plus Edition to be added to the Instant Game Collection, and we apologise that the game is not yet ready to launch. We want you to know that we’re committed to providing DRIVECLUB PS Plus Edition to members when it’s ready, and the team at Evolution Studios is working hard to make it a reality.
In the meantime, we want to make sure you still have some amazing free games to play throughout the holidays. As you may already have read, in the month of November we’ll have The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and Steamworld Dig on PS4, Frozen Synapse Prime and Luftrausers on PS3, and The Hungry Horde and Escape Plan on PS Vita.
Beyond that, in December we’re adding Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition and Secret Ponchos to PS4’s IGC line up. Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition is the first AAA Blu-ray title to join the Instant Game Collection for PS4, and we think you’re going to love it. Then in January, we’re adding inFAMOUS First Light and The Swapper for PS4. We will still add DRIVECLUB to the PS Plus line up when it becomes available.
So, to recap:
December
- Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition
- Secret Ponchos
- More TBC
January
- inFAMOUS: First Light
- The Swapper
- More TBC
On that note, let’s take a closer look at the games coming to PS Plus this Wednesday, 5th November…
New on PlayStation 4
First up this month on PS4 (and Cross Buy on PS Vita), make sure you pick up the keenly anticipated Binding of Isaac Rebirth! This fiendishly addictive action RPG from the twisted imagination of Edmund McMillen boasts over hundreds of hours of gameplay, 450 items, weapons and power-ups to find, as well as 50 bosses to face off against!
Next up, more Cross Buy fun with the beautifully crafted Steamworld Dig, a platform adventure which puts a unique mining-centric spin on the tried and tested Metroidvania genre. Take on the role of Rusty, a mining steambot, as he arrives at an old mining town in great need. Dig your way through the old earth, gaining riches while uncovering the ancient threat that lurks below…
New on PS Vita
Leading the way on PS Vita this month is quirky action puzzler The Hungry Horde. Lead a horde of zombies on a manic mission to swell the ranks of the undead and destroy humanity. Chase, corner and infect humans to grow your horde and stop it being nuked by the military whilst tackling a series of entertaining zombie-themed mini-games.
Also incoming this month, hatch an Escape Plan on both PS Vita and PS4 as you help captive duo Lil and Laarg to escape fiendish mastermind Bakuki’s gloop factory. Switch between the two characters as you guide them through a darkly comic adventure, using teamwork and their unique abilities to find different escape routes.
New on PlayStation 3
First up on PS3, acclaimed strategy title Frozen Synapse Prime in which you lead a small rebel faction set on overthrowing a powerful corporation. Control an elite strike team of futuristic soldiers; from shotgunners and snipers, to grenadiers and machine-gunners in the ultimate turn-based strategy game.
Finally, pick up Vlambeer’s stylish arcade shooter Luftrausers! Select from over 125 combinations of weapons, bodies, and propulsion systems and take to the skies to dogfight enemy fighter planes, battleships, submarines, and rival aces for glory, honour, and high scores.

Wow. Three months in advance? That’s a brave move Chris, and to be applauded.
I’d like to add that it’s disappointing that it was left until now with no explanation. It created a great deal of bad feeling. Now that’s out of the way, id like to say how pleased I am with this month’s update. I’ve been looking forward to The Binding Of Issac for a long time, and having Escape Plan is a bonus.
I already own Injustice, and for anyone whos not played it then that’s a good call, as is Infamous First light which is a really nice game.
they only doing that make us less angry about the Nov games. that’s why this post is so last minute! they afraid of the backlash, so they mentioning Dec and Jan stuff to try and make ppl less angry.
Perhaps that’s so, but I still feel that this isn’t a bad month. While they may not be AAA, they are still good games, and we now have conficonfirmation that AAA games will be back in the IGC. That’s going to please many people, and can only be a good thing.
we only have confirmation aaa games are on ps4, how about ps3 owners? indie stuff from now on til they upgrade
Then upgrade.
The new console has been out for a year, it’s going to be phased out. That’s how these things work.
I don’t know why I should upgrade from PS3 to PS4. The games don’t look any better than PS3. It’s not a compelling upgrade at all. I subscribed to PS+ before the PS4 was released so content for that is not of my concern.
I get the feeling this was left so late so they could let us know about December and January as they new this month would be seen as the worst month ever.
I don’t think the future of PS3 hinges on the plus games, considering the backlog I have and the contiued release of games for it then I c the long life all the other models had , as for this plus update future then all good news
@johnnycide Hopefully this means no more crying in the charity articles.
To those saying “why should I upgrade to PS4 the games look the same”:
The issue is that developers are looking at adoption rates for next gen, then when they see only 25% of the PS3 owners are playing on PS4 too they decide that their next multi million pound project will not net them enough profit (for their publisher) so they have to release on old gen too. Now if you look at destiny as an example it could be so much more open world if it wasn’t designed to be running on old gen systems.
So in answer to your question, upgrade! Or vote with your wallet and buy a PC there games are free if you want them to be, and if you like you can buy.
@Lozsta : That’s not the point really. The point is there are a lot of us who have invested in the PS3 ecosystem, including console, games and PS Plus subscription, and for whatever reason are not ready to re-invest into PS4 just yet.
And recently, in the last few months, the PS3 games lineup on PS Plus has been absolute garbage. I can’t help feeling fleeced at taking out a 12 month PS Plus subscription 4 months ago, only to find the games lineup taking such a sharp downward shift in quality on PS3.
I can’t be the only PS3 owner feeling like this right now, and I can assure Sony, this does not exactly make me want to rush out and give them a further £400 +
