Announcing the Play At Home Initiative

Stay safe and pick up Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Journey for free from April 15 through May 5.

[UltraNova]

Well thanks Sony!

[Jin_Sakai]

Awesome. Sony are doing great things!

“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.“

This is a great gesture for next gen too

[Sono421]

Look I think this was a great move, 2 free great games to play for free? Awesome!.... but... why journey? I'm just curious.. don't get me wrong, I love the game, but it's really short, not really the best release to try to keep people in and playing.. UNLESS.. and hear me out here.. they are going to be releasing a sequel and are using this as a way to advertise the original. THAT would be cool and yes I know about abzu but I mean more along the lines of a journey too, but sadly i'm probably just thinking about it too much.

[bouzebbal]

No, staying home is not the right thing... This crap is a hoax for id2020..

[caddytrek]

Sono421, because it's relaxing.

And if time is the issue Uncharted Collection is easily 60 hours of gaming.

[darthv72]

Excellent. And Journey is such a good game.

[QSPR]

@ Sono41
not just 2 games, uncharted collection has 3 full games with trophy support. those are 4 games in total!! Journey is a excellent game. and believe me, Journey is short but awesome and 3 uncharted you got yourself 3 or 4 weeks of pure gaming and if you hunt trophy, that's more than enough.

[ilikestuff]

Free stuff is nice, they really went above and beyond with this. Good for us.

[UltraNova]

They could simply give just one game and everyone would be fine but they gave us 4. Nice gesture indeed.

[Toiletsteak]

Cool. I still haven't played Journey so I guess I can now.

[UltraNova]

Prepare to get hit in the feels.

[ClayRules2012]

Love to hear that. Can’t wait to play Journey!

[Spenok]

It's an awesome experience. Put aside 2-3 hours before you play it and make sure you play it through in one sitting. So much more impactful and well worth it.

[NecrumOddBoy]

Have you ever played Flower?

[cell989]

Dope as well

[Deathdeliverer]

I have both of those but thanks for the gesture Sony. You didn’t have to offer anything at all. I wonder when the guy that wants to know why it isn’t a new game on offer will show up.

[RosweeSon]

Hate to be that guy 🥴🤗😂
but joking aside it is a decent offering all really good games hence I bought them all previously and even downloaded the free digital copy from ps+ the other month but don’t see anyone else offering similar and it’s free what’s to grumble over. All I would say is they can clearly see who has and hasn’t downloaded/purchased previously, I feel they could have offered us some alternative just one woulda done or a 10% off code for the store or something but hey ho. I’ve lost nothing it’s not the end of the world nice bonus for everyone else. Really enjoyed journey and well uncharted just gets better and better looking forward to going back through them all again soon. I say all not actually played 4 yet 😅🤗😂

[MoonConquistador]

You could have made a start on UC 4 (free this month on PS+) rather than type out that pointless "grumble".

Had they offered another game, someone else would have posted something similar

You ask what's to grumble about and then chose to have a grumble anyway lol.

Some people eh?

[sprinterboy]

It says Knack 2 and Journey for Germany and China, do we UK get any games too or is this N.America,Germany and China only ?

[monkey602]

Uncharted and journey for Europe too

[sprinterboy]

thx

[Master of Unlocking]

It's past 6pm of april 15th here and the free games are nowhere to be found. Uncharted 3 standalone edition is still labeled at 100€ and Uncharted 2 at 0€, except when you click on it you don't even have a button to purchase it, wtf, lol.
Ah, SIE Europe...

[VenomUK]

@sprinterboy Sony probably offered them an alternative as I know Germany and perhaps China have strict rules on violence.

[sprinterboy]

Makes duelsense

[Elda]

Though I have both games in my digital library already this is nice of Sony.

[QSPR]

What I'm been reading this games are for you to keep it for ever. Meaning if you are not a PS+ member, you still have access to those games.

[_dangerclose_]

Good initiative, thanks Sony.

[PGRfox]

I'll take a swing at running through all the Uncharted games for the third time, why not? Thanks Sony!

[MadLad]

Wasn't big on the originals, but Uncharted 4 is fantastic. Never played Journey though, so here's my chance.

[UnSelf]

Playing Uncharted 2 on release day 11 years ago was an uncommon treat even for non-UC fans

[MadLad]

Eh. The original games had spongey enemies, and 2 introduced a horrible stealth system.
Not to mention that, I felt, even the climbing mechanics weren't perfected by the third game.

I can't take anything from the legion of fans, nor the awards given, but I didn't see the magic others apparently did.

Still, I loved the 4th game.

[UnSelf]

youre not lying about those spongey enemies. I remember being down to my last 7 handgun bullets and i had to waste them a single enemy

[Chevalier]

They fixed the spongy enemies when they remastered them. A head shot will kill enemies I think when I replayed it last

[JonTheGod]

Superbly done, Sony. Kudos. 4 great games too! Genuine no strings FREE.

[Abnor_Mal]

Although I have the original PS3 games and the remastered collection, this is still a great gesture from Sony. I will let my non gamer news friends know that they can download the entire 4 part Uncharted series, and play all the way through.

Maybe next month they will give us Uncharted The Lost Legacy, fingers crossed, although I own that too I wouldn't mind a digital copy.

[ginsunuva]

Unfortunately, they probably won't, as these Uncharted giveaways so far are intended to make money off people buying Lost Legacy right afterwards.

[NeoGamer232]

Free is always good and these are great games!

[Abcdefeg]

Never got into uncharted but after hearing so much praise for second game i will give it a shot

[oasdada]

So u never got into it even though u havent played it yet? Nice

[Abcdefeg]

I did play the first one and it was painfully average

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

But U2 was and is universally praised as a major improvement over the first. Sure Uncharted was a little rough but you should have seen potential in the product.

Great series and also charts the evolution of one Sony's best qst party studios.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

Fanboy - You have no clue, you've even spelt 'spotter' wrong.

You don't turn your back on a game after the first if it continues to get better with each iteration.

U2 improved on Uncharted in every way.

[QuePasa87]

Good guy Sony

[Kavorklestein]

I already Own Uncharted Collection, but Had not yet played Journey. I'll be picking it up for sure. Thanks Sony!

[Sitdown]

Always wanted Journey but never got around to getting it. I wonder how they will tag Uncharted from the PS+ downloads so that we can keep it.

[TGGJustin]

This is a great gesture. The money for Indie Devs is fantastic. The only slightly disappointing thing is that Uncharted was just free on PS+ two months ago. I kind of wish they went with something else because of that.

[BlaqMagiq1]

Good guy Sony

[aarogree]

Sonuva...! I bought the Nathan Drake Collection for my birthday half a month ago!

[andron]

Cool....

[victorMaje]

Must haves!

[ocelot07]

Also Song have opened a $10m funds to indie developers impacted by covid 19 really good move by Sony.

[Bruh]

That fund for Independent Developers is amazing. I hope they do like a game promotion where if you buy titles a part of it goes towards said fund! Would be great

[oasdada]

Good gesture from sony

[hanko14]

how about bringing ps now to countries that dont have it

[CaptainOmega]

Wish the selection was more varied...

Like.. here’s 6 games, pick 2.. or here’s 10.. pick 3.

[MoonConquistador]

Difficult to understand why anyone would disagree with this point.

Who's chips have you been p****** on lol.

[CaptainOmega]

Maybe i sound ungrateful? lol

[TheGamez100]

Sweet. Need to play journey.

[Sidewinder-]

Journey is a good choice for the times.

[Bigman4k]

That's dope if it's really free

[Stanjara]

Fantastic games!

[MetroidFREAK21]

That's awesome. I'll be sure to get both 👌

[Veneno]

There really is a casual force coming to PS4 because of this situation, my little brother is one of them. And these games are perfect for that group of new players coming in.

[issa3032]

Thanks but didn't they already give us these if we were PS Plus Subscribers?

[Araragifeels]

This is for all free user

[Sokol]

Great offering especially for those who haven't played the trilogy before.

I will actually give it another go as well.

I really love the first game. I remember playing it when no one even mentioned Uncharted or talked about it.

Then uncharted 2 arrived big marketing push and the fact that the game was fantastic in every way made history.

Thanks Sony.

[ToxicSushi]

Thanks Sony, so kind and thoughtful!

[caddytrek]

Sony has been on top of their corona response. They were the first to start backing out of public events they have been generous with the support of their workers they were leaders in the charge to protect internet health and now they are giving back to the players.

This is what social responsibility looks like.

[Games1st]

Journey really benefits from being free, fun to play with others.

[terstomp]

Already have Uncharted, have played Journey on the PS3, these are some of the best games.

[tagzskie]

i cant seem to find these free games in psn store US. Is it already live?

[travestyj]

No starts tomorrow

[Dreadnort]

This is really a great month for anyone who has wanted to get into the Uncharted series. 4 is free right now of course and now the collection will be free for the 2nd time. Good news for anyone who missed it first time round.

[Xavi4K]

Now thats for the player!

[S2Killinit]

Why thank you very much.

[Good-Smurf]

Awesome I'm itching for UC collection but was stuck on other hobby and backlog for years so now I can get it for free and keep it as well!
Journey is life changing I came out examining my life because of that game,already have both on PS3 and PS4 but this should hit all the right feels in this current situation.

[gold_drake]

omg thank you so much :) thats like 4 games :)

[Max_Eckhardt]

Now Microsoft needs to give The Master Chief collection away for free!

[lellkay]

Nice!

[ifrit_caress]

I played Journey last generation, I wouldn't mind a 2nd playthrough on my PS4.

[Tross]

I already have these games on PS3 but I'll take them for free on PS4, sure. Thanks Sony.

[Father__Merrin]

I've just checked on the PS app it's still full price

[Master of Unlocking]

I completed all the PS3 Uncharted games again when they were made available as part of the PS+ monthly offer in the Uncharted Collection on PS4, but it's so nice from Sony that I'll definitely get them. I own them all (in collector's edition too) on the PS3 and was weary of having to buy them again on the PS4, problem solved, it seems.

That said, we are the 15th of April and I can't see that offer anywhere on the store...

[rlow1]

Incredible deal.
