PS Plus: Free Games for July - Detroit: Become Human Deluxe Edition replaces Pro Evolution Soccer

Matthew Groizard writes: Update: We are making a swap to the PS Plus games lineup for July. This month, we are adding Detroit: Become Human Digital Deluxe Edition, which also includes Heavy Rain, to the July games lineup instead of Pro Evolution Soccer 2019. We apologize for any inconvenience.

[IRetrouk]

Nice

[UltraNova]

Nice indeed... Great game.

[Smitty2020]

I’ve been wanting this game for along time so my patience has paid off

[IRetrouk]

I've been meaning to get round to it, had a few games distract me recently and forgot about it, I'm not sure us in the uk are getting it or not, either way I will have it at some point, heavy rain and beyond were great.

[IRetrouk]

Europe is getting the change too

[darthv72]

Why don't they just have both? I mean does it kill them to have three games for free this month?

[IRetrouk]

They are giving us the £52.99 deluxe edition which includes heavy rain, that's 3 games.

[rainslacker]

@darth

LOL. First people complain that one game is crap, then they give a fairly recent highly rated release, and it's them being stingy with only two games.

Oh...but heavy rain is included with the Detroit edition, so, no, it won't kill them to have three games.

A lot of us PS owners already have detroit. Many of us didn't have PES. The change here is pointless for me, but hope others enjoy it.

[bouzebbal]

God indeed. Especially that I have PES and not Detroit

[darthv72]

@rain, I dont know why you singled me out but anyway I wasnt complaining. I figured they could just add this to the mix as a bonus. You know... how sometimes they can feel generous and just add an extra game for the heck of it.

[rainslacker]

Sorry. You were the first negative comment I came to since your so high up on the comments. Dont take it personally, I would have laughed at anyone else in the way.

For some, it's always going to be a no win situation.

[mandingo]

Average game

[StormSnooper]

Sony was actually listening to the point that they immediately responded to people. It’s crazy.

[Zeegamereh]

Yea now if everyone could just do the same next time Xbox gives out trash games that’ll be great thanks

[darthv72]

@zee... well I dont know about you but I see MS giving games away that arent part of the monthly GwG. Recently they gave away too human and comic jumper. They werent part of GwG... they were free to anyone.

[thejigisup]

Maybe it's not crazy, maybe it's just Sony being Sony. I'm in the minority here but I don't mind getting pes

[StormSnooper]

I wasn’t taking a dig at anyone. I was just saying that it’s crazy that they actually heard and responded in such a quick time frame. Personally, I would have liked PES as well, but between these I would take Detroit.

[ps360s]

can be a bad thing because you give them more and then complain once that certain thing doesn't go their way, I really can't see why complaint about PES2019. Oh well, atleast Sony listens unlike the other...

I mean we are getting games every month even if it was not what you wanted for that certain month.

[Knushwood Butt]

Whoa, what?

July goes from worst ever to one of the best ever!

Now glad I added another 12 months to my PS Plus subscription in June.

[MajorLazer]

Very, very happy with this switch. Been wanting to play Detroit since launch and Heavy Rain is a fabulous game too

[Crazyglues]

Awesome, I love that they did this....

[Relientk77]

Wow that is much better! Sweet

[sander9702]

That is actually really nice of Sony, is this the first time they listened to complaints about PS+ games I can't remember?
Also prepare for news coming from Quantic Dream soon considering the PS+ lineup is basically used for marketing nowadays.

[Cmv38]

I think this was the first time it was unanimous across the region's that it was a bad month. Glad the listened. Even though I already own Detroit.

[CrimsonPheonix]

usually if a game is becoming available on another platform Sony also makes it free on PS+ i've seen that happen with quite a few titles that had come to switch. These games just went to PC.

[StormLegend]

Thank you playstation for listening to us. You guys are amazing! I didn't mind the soccer game but i will definitely take this over it. Detroit Become human is GOTY. Material.

[whitbyfox]

game of the year 78% Metacritic. OK then.

[StormLegend]

In it's genre that's the best game you can get right now and has the most storylines that actually matter to your choices. Craps over any life is strange or telltale game.

[Fluttershy77]

It is an awesome experience... But its so weird, so unique that's not for everyone... It has 78 because of that, not because of being broken or anything (also meta means nothing, Fifa has 84? and its probably the same game they've been releasing since 2012)... Become human will go multiplat eventually, maybe you'll give it a fair chance then?

[Elda]

LOL!!! You seem bitter!! You have the most unpopular opinion seeing most folks here commenting are ecstatic about getting Detroit:BH to play instead of a Soccer game.

[Potnoodle999]

Whitbyfox hasn’t played it.

[jukins]

Either you sont enjoy these types of games or you just havent played it. This was definitely a goty type of game. It touched on subjects that many mainstream games avoid. And add to that the many many paths and outcomes. A true single player game that can be played over and over again and be different everytime what else does this

[trooper_]

Need a hug?

[whitbyfox]

Life is Strange 85% Metacritic. Why lie.

[Knushwood Butt]

I already got Life is Strange with Plus.

[Kribwalker]

telltale games, Until dawn is higher rated as well, mind you by 1 point.

definitely better than PES, but not GOTY material

[Parasidious]

@kribwalker Until Dawn was also already a PS+ game.

[The_Sage]

@ Krib... Until Dawn is by Supermassive, not Telltale.

[Christopher]

***Until Dawn is by Supermassive, not Telltale***

Certain he meant "games by Telltale Games AND Until Dawn are higher rated as well"

[BLow]

Didn't we just get an article about this the other day saying how Plus needs to change? So I wonder if the feelings are the same right now lol. For $5 a month you just got these games. $5...Is Detroit alone not worth $5?

I would love all same people to come over and give us your thoughts. This will get added to my massive backlog. Oh and it has Heavy Rain too. I'm sure some will still complain lol....

This better reach those high heat levels lol....

[Nitrowolf2]

Those articles will keep happening cause all those guys do is wait for negativity to write. I mean last month had a good offering but the writer waited?

Next we will be seeing “Sony needs to stop giving us games we bought” articles

[TK-66]

Well the thing is that the GWG and PS+ style of giving the player games just feels lackluster by comparison to the model PS Now and XGP use. Why pay $5 for two games when you can pay $10 for hundreds?

[milohighclub]

Between Borderlands, Sonic mania, Detroit and heavy rain it's more than worth a years subscription. I only renewed for the month but means I've now had 4 great games for 6.99.

I've been vocal about the lackluster offering from ps+ this gen but if they keep this up then I'll stfu fo sho.

[Silly gameAr]

Those articles bring traffic to their sites, so don't expect them to go anywhere anytime soon.

[william_cade]

To deny the "rentals" on top of already paying for your online component of a game that you bought for 60 + usd were shit, is hole new level of ignorance or stupidity.

They knew they put out shit that's why they changed it.

[rainslacker]

It's never going to be enough. Either that, or they'll use this as a reason to say why it's so important to stress one's consumer voice, even though this may be an occurrence that happens one in a blue moon. Think of how many times things actually change. Last one I remember was MS DRM policies. This one was probably more because of the discontent on their own forums.

Personally, I already have Heavy Rain and Detroit. PES I didn't have, so it was a better value for me, as I may have been able to find some fun in it because I don't play sports games as much.

[quent]

You lose it when you stop paying for you're online trial

[BLow]

That's the same with any service. Nice try though....

[slayernz]

I commented elsewhere that while I wouldn't play PES I thought not the best game for Sony to offer. Most football lovers would have a footy game already.... but would be a good time to play a couple of backlogged games.... that's out the window now I've been wanting to play Detroit for ages. quite happy with the change!

[Petebloodyonion]

It still needs to change because of the competition.
Epic Store is giving a free game per week. That's 4 games for 0$ and you keep the game.
Humble Bundle is giving you around 8 games for 10$ again game that you keep when you cancel the subscription (here's the recent list: Call of Duty BO4, Assassin's Creed Origin, Hellblade, etc.).
Plus they are giving you access to a 60 games vault.

So yes, they need to change to keep the good faith of the ppl.

[bluefox755]

Nice.

[Neonridr]

lol, clearly they heard the uproar.

[SethBrundlefly]

Well goddamn.

Edit: As in a positive way.

[DillyDilly]

I already have Detroit & Heavy Rain & meh Soccer still bad for me

[milohighclub]

That's more like it.

[akurtz]

Awesome!

[Donnie81]

I’ve always said Detroit is one of the best games on the system. Plus subs are in for a treat

[lnfiniteLoop]

fine by me... I dont like football (soccer) ...

[Movefasta1993]

I haven't played Detroit, well done sony.

[2pacalypsenow]

Well that sucks.

Was really looking forward to PES

[zackeroniii]

It really does i dont want to play boring ass detroit smfh i'm pissed

[Masta Kaos]

Same here....I don't want this

[rainslacker]

I'm indifferent. I already have Detroit and heavy rain, but know it'll be good for a lot of people. PES I was thinking of playing because it's been a while since I played a sports game of any kind. But, if I dont get it, I'm not that upset about it.

Just hope people.enjoy what they do want to play. Not every month is going to be perfect for everyone. Just the way it is.

[AnubisG]

Betteshould have replaced that gaebage car game instead.

[Shezgear]

Detroit is one of my favourite games from last year!

[CobraKai]

I was just about to buy this too! Sweet

[eferreira]

This sucks. I wanted pes

[sprinterboy]

Is this for Europe also, or just US

[AmUnRa]

A Dutch gaming website confermed that PES2019 has been switched voor Detroit so for the Netherlands its shure, i dont know for the rest of Europe.

But i heard that PES2010 is coming soon and Konami was the reason they switched PES for Detroit cous it would hurt the sales of PES2010. People would perhaps not buy PES2010 cous they can play PES2019 for "free" on PS4.

But this is a rumor so it could be not true....
