Sony has announced October’s PlayStation Plus Instant Game Collection, with Broken Age and Super Meat Boy leading the line-up. Six new games will be available from October 6th 2015 in both North America and Europe. Sony has also revealed that DRIVECLUB PlayStation Plus edition will be leaving PlayStation Plus when this update goes live, so be sure to grab it before it’s gone.
Lots of new content is available on the European PlayStation Store this week, with 11 new PS4 games, including Destiny: The Taken King, PES 2016, and Flame Over; eight new PS3 games including the PES 2016 Digital Version and Rugby League Live 3; and one new PS Vita game. You can also find new DLC content and some great PS4 deals this week.
New content is available on the European PlayStation Store today, with a number of new games available on all three PlayStation platforms. New games include Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (PS4, PS3), Mad Max (PS4) and Grow Home (PS4, free on PS+). September’s PlayStation Plus content is also available to download from today too.
Sony has detailed the new games coming to the PlayStation Plus Instant Game Collection next week (on 1st September 2015), while also revealing the winner of the first Vote to Play winner. On the PS4, you can look forward to Grow Home, Super Time Force Ultra (cross-buy with PS Vita), Teslagrad (cross-buy with PS3), and Xeodrifter (cross-buy with PS Vita).
A number of NeoGAF users have received emails from Sony stating that the price of the three month subscription to PlayStation Plus will be rising from September. The subscription will rise from £11.99 for 90-days to £14.99, but the price for monthly and annual subscriptions will remain the same. The price change takes affect from 1st September 2015, and will affect your subscription on your renewal date.
The European PlayStation Store has been updated with new content today, although this week’s update is DLC heavy. You can find four new PS4 games, along with August’s Instant Game Collection, which includes Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris and God of War Ascension.
Sony has announced a new feature exclusive to PlayStation Plus subscribers: Vote to Play. The new feature lets subscribers vote on several as-yet unreleased PS4 games to be included in the upcoming month’s game line-up. Although it won’t be a monthly feature, it gives games the power to choose which free game they want to receive.
New PlayStation Plus content will be available to subscribers in North America and Europe tomorrow, following the weekly PlayStation Store update. August’s games include Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris (PS4), God of War Ascension (PS3) and Sound Shapes (cross-buy). As a result, last months games, including Rocket League will be removed, so be sure to download any games you’ve missed.
With a PlayStation Plus subscription, games get 1 GB of cloud storage included in the subscription plan, letting you back up your savedata. The space is sufficient for the PS3 and PS Vita, where savedata is much smaller (usually a few megabytes per game), but the same can’t be said about the PS4. As I recently found out, many PS4 games have far larger data saved, filling up your cloud storage quickly.
Sony has revealed July 2015’s Instant Game Collection, which will go live on the PlayStation Store on July 7th 2015 (next week Tuesday). The line-up includes new title Rocket League (PS4), rain (PS3) and Entwined (PS4/PS Vita). Going forward, all future PlayStation Plus updates will take place on the first Tuesday of every month.
