August 2020 PlayStation Plus Free Games

 Yesterday, the PlayStation Blog announced which two games are coming to PlayStation Plus in August. One is available now and the other will be available to download on August 4, 2020. If you're a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you can download Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered. What a title.

The second game is a brand new one called Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. This is the first time I've heard of this game, but it sounds pretty cool and I think it's pretty neat when a free game is a brand new game. It reminds me of when Rocket League was free and brand new.

Like always, even if you don't intend to play either of these games right away, add them to your PS4 Library so you can download them later. Why have PlayStation Plus if you aren't going to stash free games into your Library?

August 2020 PlayStation Plus Free Games

• Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout | PS4 | $19.99
• Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered | PS4 | Free

August Savings: $19.99
Year-to-Date Savings: $429.86

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered is $19.99 on the PlayStation Store, but the PS Plus version is slightly different. It doesn't include "the Underwater Demo Team Classic Ghost Bundle, available for use in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, including Warzone." Because the PlayStation Plus version is not quite the same as the $19.99 version of the game, I decided not to include the price.

What do you think of this month's lineup? Let me know in the comments below!

July 2020 PlayStation Plus Free Games

From July 7, 2020 to August August 3, 2020, PlayStation Plus subscribers can download NBA 2K20, Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration, and Erica for free. That's right! There are three free games this month.

In my honest opinion, not a bad lineup. I already have Rise of the Tomb Raider, but if you don't have it and you are a PlayStation Plus subscriber, now is your chance to add it to your PS4 Library.

I think the only NBA 2K game I kinda sort but not really played was NBA 2K16. I believe that was free on PlayStation Plus a few years ago. It would be kind of fun to play as the Dallas Mavericks in NBA 2K20 though. We'll see if I ever get around to playing it... since I'm still working on getting the Platinum Trophy for Final Fantasy VII Remake. I'm also working on finishing the Last of Us Part II. I keep hopping on to Warzone with the squad, which has delayed both aforementioned things from happening.

I've never heard of Erica, but it's cool that PlayStation has a third game in the lineup. It doesn't happen often, but it's neat when it does.

Let's get to how much you're saving this month and how much you save for the dreadful year known as 2020:

July 2020 PlayStation Plus Free Games

• NBA 2K20 | PS4 | $59.99
• Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration | PS4 | $29.99
• Erica | PS4 | $9.99

July Savings: $99.97
Year-to-Date Savings: $409.87

Lastly, this month marks the 10th anniversary of PlayStation Plus. The PlayStation Blog has a breakdown of how many games have been made available for free via PlayStation Plus, the top 5 most downloaded PS Plus games in the last 10 years, and more.

June 2020 PlayStation Plus Free Games

Beginning today, you can add Star Wars Battlefront II to your PS4 Library. The rumors were wrong—no Spider-Man. Call of Duty WWII is the other game PlayStation Plus subscribers get for free in June. 

Star Wars Battlefront II lists the game as being free for Plus subscribers from June 2, 2020 to July 7, 2020, but for some reason Call of Duty WWII doesn't show the same dates. It makes me wonder if it will be for free beyond the month of June. I guess we will see when July 7, 2020 hits.

June 2020 PlayStation Plus Free Games

• Call of Duty WWII | PS4 | Free
• Star Wars Battlefront II | PS4 | $19.99

June Savings: $19.99
Year-to-Date Savings: $309.90

This month is a weird one. Call of Duty WWII doesn't list the original price of the game, which is why I say "Free" in place of an actual price. There is the Gold Edition of the game, but they don't have the same description. It's weird... so I guess you're only saving $19.99 in June even though you're getting a full Call of Duty game. I dunno what to tell ya.

Call of Duty: WWII Free for PlayStation Plus Subscribers

Beginning today, PlayStation Plus subscribers can download Call of Duty: WWII for free. On Twitter, the official PlayStation announced via their account that "Call of Duty: WWII is part of the monthly games lineup for June, and will be available for download starting May 26."

PS Plus members: Call of Duty: WWII is part of the monthly games lineup for June, and will be available for download starting May 26.

We’ll share additional details of our monthly lineup later this week. Enjoy! pic.twitter.com/ECVwca1cXq

PlayStation will be announcing the rest of June's lineup later this week. Rumor has it Spider-Man will be made available to download for free for PlayStation Plus subscribers next month, but we'll see if that ends up being the case or not.

If you haven't already added Cities: Skylines and/or Farming Simulator 19, you still have until June 2, 2020 to add those two games to your Library.  

May 2020 PlayStation Plus Free Games

 

Beginning next Tuesday, PlayStation Plus subscribers will be treated to two new games they can add to their PS4 Library. In May, you'll be able to get Cities: Skylines and Farming Simulator 19 with a PlayStation Plus subscription.

I have no experience with either game, but Cities: Skylines kind of sounds interesting. Makes me think of Sim City or something like that. I personally don't think I won't be playing either game personally since I still have plenty of other PS Plus games to get through. Still, I can understand people being upset considering the first four months have been pretty good for PlayStation Plus subscribers.

May 2020 PlayStation Plus Free Games

• Cities: Skylines - PlayStation 4 Edition | PS4 | $39.99
• Farm Simulator 19 | PS4 | $39.99

May Savings: $79.98
Year-to-Date Savings: $289.91

Free Games on the PlayStation Store—No PlayStation Plus Required

 

That's right. You don't need PlayStation Plus to download these games for free. Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Journey are free to download for all PlayStation 4 users. These games will be available to download for free from April 15, 2020 through May 5, 2020.

Sony is calling it the "Play At Home Initiative" due to the spread of COVID-19 all throughout the world. I think it's pretty cool that they're giving away games for free due to what's going on in the world.

You're getting three games with Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, all of which are all very good and look fantastic on PS4. For PlayStation Plus subscribers, you probably have this game added to your Library, but I believe you can still acquire this game for free and have it forever instead of having it tethered to your PlayStation Plus subscription.

I haven't played Journey on PS4, but I did play it on PS3. It's a game I need to revisit because I actually fell asleep playing it. It didn't quite captivate me as it seemed to do for many others. Maybe it's just not my cup of tea? We'll see if revisiting it on PS4 will make a difference or not.

For more information regarding the Play At Home Initiative and other contents in the original post, head on over to the PlayStation Blog.

Update: Another game you can get for free without a PlayStation Plus subscription is Pac-Man Championship Edition 2. This game is available to download for free from April 24, 2020 to May 5, 2020. I don't think it's part of the initiative, but a free game is a free game regardless.

April 2020 PlayStation Plus Free Games

 

It's April Fools' Day, but this post is legit. Earlier today, April's PlayStation Plus games were revealed. Beginning April 7, 2020, PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to add Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and DiRT Rally 2.0 to your Library.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's is a very beautiful game. It's one of the best looking games on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro. It's also pretty fun. I've never played DiRT Rally 2.0, so that's all I've got to say about that.

April 2020 PlayStation Plus Free Games

• Uncharted 4: A Thief's End | PS4 | $19.99
• DiRT Rally 2.0 | PS4 | $39.99

April Savings: $59.98
Year-to-Date Savings: $209.93
