Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is the Deal of the Week for $19.79.

 

The bundle for Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Immortals Fenyx Rising is $60.49, so basically $30 each if you're interested in both. The Gold Edition of Immortals is half off at $50 with all DLC.

 

Katamari Damacy Reroll is under $20.

finally got around to playing last of us remastered. story seems interesting but i am not really sure i am enjoying the actual game

It’s a shooter that’s not a shooter, a stealth game that’s not a stealth game, and a zombie game that’s not a zombie and I’d argue the shooting and stealth are mediocre.

I want a Tetris 99 version of Bomberman. That would be fun.

May...be...  If you don't get power-ups that make your bombs reach the entire map, so the default 5 squares. Maybe one upgrade max.

Isn't that what this is? I watched Ryukahr (mainly a mario maker streamer) play the stadia version of this a lot and it's a 64 player Bomberman battle royale. Not really that interested in it personally but it was very entertaining to watch.

Starting March 25, 2021

 

PlayStation and some of our favorite indie partners are collaborating to provide more free games to explore while you’re staying safe and staying home:

 

Abzû

From the artistic mind behind Journey, Flower, and The Pathless, ABZÛ is a beautiful underwater adventure that evokes the dream of diving. Immerse yourself in a vibrant ocean world full of mystery and bursting with color and life.

 

Enter the Gungeon

Enter the Gungeon is a gunfight dungeon crawler following a band of misfits seeking to shoot, loot, dodge roll and table-flip their way to personal absolution by reaching the legendary Gungeon’s ultimate treasure: the gun that can kill the past.

 

Rez Infinite

Prepare yourself for the ultimate version of Rez, a thrilling journey of sights and sounds and shooting action, remastered and upgraded by members of the original development team exclusively for PS4 and (optional) PlayStation VR.

 

Subnautica

You have crash-landed on an alien ocean world, and the only way to go is down. Subnautica’s oceans range from sun-drenched shallow coral reefs to treacherous deep-sea trenches, lava fields, and bio-luminescent underwater rivers. The water teems with life: Some of it helpful, much of it harmful.

 

The Witness

The Witness is a single-player game in an open world with dozens of locations to explore and over 500 puzzles. This game respects you as an intelligent player and it treats your time as precious. There’s no filler: each of those puzzles brings its own new idea into the mix. So, this is a game full of ideas.

 

We’re also proud to serve up a selection of free PlayStation VR games*** starting on March 25:

 

Astro Bot Rescue Mission

Get a whole new perspective on platform games, thanks to PlayStation VR, in this daring rescue operation. Take control of Astro in a massive adventure to rescue his crew, where the PS VR headset puts you right in the thick of the action. Judge every jump with accuracy and be curious – there are lots of secrets to discover in your daring quest.

 

Moss

Moss is a single-player action-adventure puzzle game and new IP from Polyarc tailor-made for the VR platform. In Moss, players meet Quill, a young mouse with dreams of greatness beyond the confines of her settlement. While exploring the woods, she finds a mysterious Glass Relic and an ancient magic is awakened.

 

Thumper

Thumper is rhythm violence: classic rhythm-action, blistering speed, and brutal physicality. You are a space beetle. Brave the hellish void and confront a maniacal giant head from the future. Every crushing impact is interwoven with a pounding original soundtrack. To reach synesthetic bliss, you must go through rhythm hell.

 

Paper Beast

Experience a dreamlike odyssey in virtual reality. Discover a wild ecosystem, born from lost Internet data. Be the first to explore a world inhabited by exotic and surprising creatures, and shape your environment to overcome obstacles and puzzles. Unravel the mysteries of Paper Beast, a game born from the imagination of Eric Chahi (Another World, From Dust).

 

This amazing selection of PS4 games and PS VR games will be available for free download from March 25 8:00pm Pacific Time to April 22 8:00pm Pacific Time.

 

Funimation / Wakanim

 

Don’t forget: in participating countries, we’re also offering an extended trial of Funimation (or Wakanim, depending on region), a joint venture of Sony Pictures Entertainment and Aniplex of Japan. The anime-focused subscription service includes shows such as My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Attack on Titan, and Fruits Basket. This extended trial offer  kicks off on March 25 and is available through April 22****.

We’ll have more to share soon. We appreciate the support from the PlayStation community, and hope you enjoy our latest content drop – please stay safe and thanks for playing!

[MasterSun1]

I think some of those games were free before, like The Witness.

 

About time they gave away HZD.  It had been at that $9.99 price point regularly for a while.

[awp]

Already own all but Paper Beasts. But almost bought that a few weeks ago so glad I held off.

[Souffrir]

Any of those VR games playable without VR?

[FriskyTanuki]

Rez Infinite and Thumper don't need PSVR.

[KrayzieKMF]

i just now realized that i missed out on the nathan drake collection last year lol

[Souffrir]

I wasn't really paying much attention to PS4 news last year since I and my console were in different hemispheres of the globe, so I don't even know what I missed.

 

How does claiming these freebies work? Can you claim them on the store and own them forever? Do you have to download them first, and then you own them forever? Or are they only free to download during the promotional period, and then if you delete it afterwards you're out of luck?

You just have to claim them in the store. You don't need to download them.

I think the difference is 16 interconnected maps versus one huge map. The interconnected map is still roughly just a normal 4 player game (sort of).

[FriskyTanuki]

They're free to own for good if you grab them from the PS Store.

[Freeze Time]

I bought half of these games already. It's so strange that they are just giving them away now. The only one I regret buying is The Witness. It's been a PS+ or Gold game before, given away on Epic store and I think it's on Game Pass. Now it's being given away again. I don't really like the game. I am usually good at puzzle games but man, some of the puzzles I am clueless on. I even resorted to looking up a guide but I have a hard time finding the solution because the puzzles don't have numbers or names. I was able to find one solution and I still don't understand it even after cheating. Usually, there is an OH OKAY moment after you see the solution but not for me. I haven't played it in like a year. Maybe it's one of those games where when it finally clicks, you understand things or maybe my brain just can't comprehend some of the puzzles.

 

Some of the free games like HZD Complete, Astrobot and Moss are incredible and Sony is really giving gamers that haven't played them a great present. Very cool of them.

[chnandler_bong]

I'm super stoked to give Thumper a play with my PSVR.  That thing has just been sitting on the box collecting dust.

[rpgaymer]

My backlog is so massive that I'm not even sure if I own all of these free games already or not. Definitely have at least six or seven. But free games are always nice, especially when it's a few indies and artsy games that could use some more exposure.

Thumper especially is a real trip, even outside of VR. Hard as hell though.

[nitrosmob]

I do like playing indies for sure. On another Zanki Zero update I managed to get to the final dungeon after putting down the difficulty for the 2nd to last dungeon boss (not a fan of 1 hit kills and so much life), and it's OK. I'm likely lowering my earlier score to 6/10 now. Graphics are great, gameplay is decent with very long dungeons which are good looking and unique, and the characters are also unique. The story has taken a nose dive though and I'm no liking some of the reveals. I think I'm ready to drop it. Just getting bored and it got around 25 hours from me, so good enough. Going to the sell pile, but it's a very unique dungeon crawler. The battling gets better, but it never gets great. I say stick to the turn based dungeon crawlers like Etrian Odyssey or Demon Gaze. I wanted to love this, but it's too flawed, and I love story in these type of games, but I just can't recommend it.

Rez Infinite and Thumper don't need PSVR.

They don’t have to have PSVR to be played, but they are so much better with it

[jsivley]

...The Witness...

A good many of the puzzles are interconnected and must be solved in sequence or in tandem with each other. I could see how the fact that it’s a large open world with next to no guidance can make it feel a bit overwhelming at times. I was playing it for a while when I first got it and was making pretty steady progress. It was a mistake to pick it up when I did though because I was invested in other games and could not commit to it. I just know that when I return to it I’m going to have to start a new game because I won’t remember what the chain of puzzles I had going on was

There was a Sony restock today. I did not get lucky with that one.

You mean I WON’T be using my originally-released-in-2010 Move Controllers with the probably-releasing-in-2022 PSVR 2 device? The nerve of Sony!!!

😏

[Souffrir]

I don’t know why, but my initial impression upon seeing that picture was that it was supposed to be some kind of companion accessory to the nintendo ring fit.

[Miker525]

Any sales on ps+ going on? Seems my sub lapped and don't feel like paying full retail for another year

[hagz]

How do the games from the Play at Home program that have previously been PS+ games work?  Will those games just stay in your library even if you let your PS+ expire?  Are they not considered PS+ collection games anymore?

[TheLegendofTyler]

CD Keys has them at $28.39 at the moment

How many years of PS+ are you able to stack on your account?
