PlayStation Plus: 3 New Fixtures in the Instant Game Collection

With E3 right around the corner, everyone here at PlayStation is putting the final touches on what’s sure to be an exciting event for gamers everywhere. Among other things, we’re excited to see PlayStation Plus continue to evolve, and we’re happy to announce the inclusion of three new PS3 Full Games.

With next week’s PlayStation Store update, we’ll welcome UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and LittleBigPlanet: Karting into the Instant Game Collection!

As many of you keenly observed in Monday’s PlayStation Plus blog post, three PS3 Full Games – LittleBigPlanet 2, inFAMOUS 2, and Ratchet & Clank All 4 One – have only four days left in the Instant Game Collection. This means that it’s your last chance to download these great titles as they’ll be stepping down after a year of faithful PS Plus service.

PlayStation Plus Update 6-11-2013

You’ll find all the content detailed above with their Plus benefits active when the PlayStation Store updates on Tuesday; along with additional Plus content that was announced as part of the June preview, and special discounts as well.

Speaking of the June preview, with all this PS Plus content, this month is shaping up to be one of the best PlayStation Plus months yet. UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception (PS3), XCOM: Enemy Unknown (PS3), and LittleBigPlanet: Karting (PS3) are all dropping next week, joining Deus Ex: Human Revolution (PS3) which joined PS Plus last week. You’ll still have Machinarium (PS3), Saints Row The Third (PS3), Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward (PS Vita), and God Eater Burst (PSP, PS Vita compatible), all coming in June as well! It’s never been a better time to join up.

We’ve got more to come next week, so again, make sure you watch for all the PlayStation announcements to come at E3. In fact, you can watch Monday’s press conference right here on PlayStation.Blog.

  • Man, I so wish I could afford a Vita. So many cool games for PS Plus users, and I can’t wait to see how it interacts with the PS4. :D

  • Uncharted 3 Utter Pants
    Xcom I have never played
    LIttlebigplanet Karting very funny

  • Uncharted 3 is the game that holds the players hand. I hate games like that which gives away control from the player. Uncharted 2 never did that.

    Lets hope that Uncharted 4 doesn’t hold the players hand.

  • I am very happy with my PlayStation plus subscription. Even though I have UC3 little big planet karting, I have not played the others. So glad I own a ps3 and not an Xbox or xbox live subcription where all the give you for 60 bucks is to play online and that’s it. Keep up the good work Sony. Looking forward to more ps4 info on Monday at e3!

  • @402 That was why I never bought a year of Xbox Live Gold, despite owning a 360 for 5 years. Opted for a year of PS Plus instead, so much better.

    @397 Are they on disc?

  • mtns_beyond_mtns

    YOU READ MY MIND. I was about to purchase XCOM. Thanks O_o

  • It took 6 months into my yearly PS Plus subscription for you to finally add some new free games??? The games are fantastic, no doubt, but its very frustrating to wait so long! I’ve had Plus since it was first offered and this year has been the most disappointing, up to this point. We’ve received no free avatar profile thingy’s since I don’t remember when (sorry I’m disabled and my memory is effected.) I am just asking if, in the future, you will think about spreading these offerings out over the entire year? And PLEASE come up with more free content for PS Home!! Thank you!

  • WOW just… WOW!!

  • This is a good update but I would have piucked Modnation over LBP Karting but its cool thanks for the birthday gift

  • Any idea if the saves from disc version of Xcom will work with the digital version?

  • You guys are adding XCOM:EU! I was thinking about how I shouldn’t buy it yet because I don’t have the time, and then you forced the issue, hehe. PS+ is awesome, I am -still- loving Sleeping Dogs. Thanks a lot guys, and keep it up. (and keep showing love to my somewhat forlorn PSVita).

  • Uncharted 3….. GREAT GAME, bad choice for ps+. How about giving games that don’t sell well instead of games more than 60% of the gamers have already played or got

  • Bought my PS3 2 weeks ago, signed plus, and it´s Terrific!!!! it´s SO SO SO SO good, that I think it´s a market thing, as PS4 is coming sony is trying to say: “be our customer, we´ll please you” I like it… we all win with this ;P

  • @ SpooNManX – took a week for your friend to download 4gb. When I had the most basic internet package it didn’t take me that long. Lol they’re probably on McDonald’s connection or something. Haha. Wow.

  • I really hope zero escape drops this Tuesday for + otherwise I won’t have anything to play all week :(

  • smoothboarder540

    @Loco4fourLoko Zero Escape probably isn’t coming until June 25. That’s when BlazBlue leaves.

  • Uncharted 3, Virtue Last Reward and God Eater Burst ^^

  • well morgan here is my issue ive been a fan of playstation since the first console and ive never been dissapointed yet by any of the systems as well with PSN and playstation plus but my issue primarily is that i love uncharted and unfortunately dont own the disc anymore but to me its not worth the download of U3 if the multiplayer is not included cause after your down with singleplayer there is not much else to go on to me it just doesnt justify a large download for half a product

  • Man how is the only game I want from plus this month taking the longest to drop? Xcom will be fun but I want saints row the most

  • also i agree with 410 put up some games that got less sales like starhawk would be amazing(the multiplayer not just the campaign) something like that xcom was an amazing choice lets see some less publicized games though get the little guy to the fore-front like warhammer40k space marines was also a great choice lesser known game that i still play alot to this day ……just an idea keep one or 2 big titles then throw some little guys in there some lesser known people may not have played

  • yay!

  • TheUndertaker85

    Any chance of some new Vita games coming in as fixtures? Maybe Call of Duty Declassified or something?

    Really wish we would see a discount/sale on Declassified soon. Only game on Vita right now that’s $50. Just can’t justify that after playing Black Ops 2.

  • The most surprising thing is that people are surprised with the timing.

    They’re rotating several games almost one year to the day of when they first announced the “rotating schedule” of twelve different games. It’s also around the time that all the people who bought a year BECAUSE of that large influx of games have accounts that are about to expire.

    To people wondering “where are the Vita games?” wait until the one year anniversary of when Vita was added to the Plus offerings. You’ll most likely see two or three of the games swapped out with “heavy hitters” at that point.

    That said, either X-Com or Zero Escape would be worth the price of admission (if I didn’t already own both). People seem to forget that there really only “needs” to be one game every three months or so that interests you to make it worth the investment. People who expect A-quality content for $1 a week need to get their heads examined. :)

  • This is a great month, My little brother is also excited to get to play LBPK.

  • Surprisingly, I own all of these games, Xcom, Deus Ex and SR3 on PC……..But hell, I’ll play them twice,

  • Awesome news. I will consider this my late Bday present since the 10th is my birthday along with my wife’s. I can see my kids having a ton of fun with LBP: Karting.

  • AMAZING.

    PS PLUS IS JUST AMAZING!

    you guys give us great value with our subscriptions, I am so happy to be a PLUS MEMBER!

    thank you!

    just as an opinion: I would have loved seen PLAYSTATION ALL-STARS BATTLE ROYALE join the IGC for a year (or whatever the new 3 are planned to stay).
    it just seems like a missed opportunity, since PSASBR includes multiple major franchises, it just looks like the perfect way to get late-ps3 adopters interested in all the great games, It’s just an opinion ;)

    On-topic, uncharted 3 is perfect for me, I wasn’t interested in XCOM but now I’ll try it, and LBPKarting I bought it when it was $10 on a december sale i think.

    awesome update!

  • Shinigami_Death_

    wow this is great sum of the games on the list i was just gonna buy lol great E3 treat thnx ppl at Sony

  • I think you guys should start a voting system where people can vote what they want for PSPlus out of three options(exaple Ratchet,Jak,Sly and jak gets more votes that’s the free game of the week.)And voting could be held on website,PS home or PS Store.Just thought.

  • im just wondering if the uc3 plat will be obtainable w/ this free version? there are 2 online ones and i know u can get thrill seeker through the free mp portion but wondering about buddy system, complete a co op mp game. will that one be obtainable through the sp or mp portion of this free + game next week.

  • I have question is PS plus will be on ps4 too?
    thank you.

  • Only 2 games for ps vita, bad update >_<

  • I’ve been anticipating a new games list since last month and I am seriously disappointed with this list. ANOTHER Little Big Planet game…Machinarium is a fun game, but it’s also a really cheap flash type game. Uncharted 3 is a great game, but I own it already. XCOM, Deus Ex, and Saint’s Row look like they might be good, but they aren’t game I’m terribly interested in. I guess I was hoping for a more eclectic selection. Also a selection of quality new games. All of these games have been out for a while and there’s a good chance a lot of members have them. I’d really love to see some games that are fresh, and not open world shooters, which seem to be what floods PSN. Maybe some imports that you can’t find retail in NA? I’d just love for a game or two to appear that I’ve never heard of rather than outplayed games that were released years ago…I dunno, maybe I’ll end up loving these games. I was just hoping for something different than shooters, but that’s like 90% of games these days…Maybe I’m being a brat. LBP karting looks like fun. I’m gonna try and enjoy these.

  • I just read some more comments. I’m definitely being a brat. PS+ is an amazing value and I’m glad there are new games every month. I guess those odd games I wish were added will just have to be the games I purchase on my own. I’m really happy about the new games list now.

  • NightmareSkulls

    Not bad eh, but can we get a racing game for Plus members? Maybe Dirt 2 or Motorstorm:(include title name)? @Morgan Haro do you pick the games or do you guys pick votes from gamers that want certain titles to be included in the list?

  • Love you guys :-)

  • TheBratPrince79

    “I thought somebody was barbequing. I said oh lord Jesus it’s a fire” Awesome Update

  • Great month for the PS3. Weak month for the Vita. I hope you re-fresh the long-term Vita titles soon.

  • Hi Morgan,
    You say “We’ve got more to come next week.” Are you referring to PlayStation Plus in particular, or PlayStation more generally?
    Hope you get some sleep tis coming week!

    Thank you

  • wow!!! i’m so impressed ;D amazing seriously PS plus is the best deal that’s happened to gaming

  • Wow. Faithful Playstation fan ever since the first Sony Ps1 came out. You guys really know how to make the fans happy & keep our attention. I knew Playstation Plus would be worth it!

  • Morgan can you help me? My playstation console was broken so in the meantime when i still had PS Plus i’ve bought the games in the new ps store at my web browser but when i get back to my ps3 i can’t download them and that makes me lose Demon Souls and Sleeping Dogs and i was so excited to play them!
    When i login into the site i get a ‘download error’ message but they are there to be downloaded and there’s no way i can download them in my ps3. Is there anything i can do for not losing these games? I’ve been a loyal ps plus costumer since launch and will renew this week after this amazin june update!

  • So no Orc Attack?? (I didn’t go through all the comments)
    This is a great update. Curious about Xcom and God Burst. I know all the other ones. Sony might wanna stop giving away LBP games, I haven’t payed for one yet

  • will tekken revolution be released as well?

  • is this awesome game collection also going to be available in the UK? pleeeeaaaase be available in the UK :D

  • Have XCOM on PC, but I guess a console play-through couldn’t hurt! LBP K should be fun as well.

  • PSvita system is as expensive as PS3, and the games of psvita is almost same price with ps3 too. But until now there is so few update for psvita!

  • @444 blog.eu.playstation.com/2013/06/07/playstation-plus-more-new-games-coming-your-way/
