Preview October’s Free Game Lineup
Update: We know many of you were looking forward to playing the promised PS Plus Edition and we are truly sorry for the delay. Our first priority is to provide you with the best possible experience while playing DRIVECLUB. With the high volume of new players and additional server load the PS Plus Edition is anticipated to bring, we are currently not confident that we can guarantee the best online experience. Until we can ensure that everyone can enjoy the full social connected online experience, we will be postponing the release of the PS Plus Edition until further notice.

For the past two months, PlayStation Plus members have received a couple games free the day they hit the PlayStation Store, and this time we’re besting ourselves by offering three! Yep, this month Dust: An Elysian Tail (PS4), Spelunky (PS4) and Pix the Cat (PS Vita) will debut on the Store as well as in PlayStation Plus. On top of that, there’s a special bonus this month – members get DriveClub PlayStation Plus Edition (if you want to upgrade to the regular retail version you can for $49.99), which gives them access to 11 tracks, 10 cars and all the game modes. Finally, members will receive the critically acclaimed Batman: Arkham Asylum as well as Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara and Rainbow Moon.

PS4 owners can check out the Metroidvania-inspired Dust: An Elysian Tail, as well as the hit platformer Spelunky — which also entitles you to the PS3 and PS Vita versions. On PS3, our members can see where the Arkham franchise started with Batman: Arkham Asylum, as well as enjoy a bundle of classic arcade Dungeons & Dragons games with Chronicles of Mystara. For your PS Vita, we’ve got a new addictive arcade game for you in the same vein as Snake and Pac-Man called Pix the Cat and a beautiful, epic strategy RPG Rainbow Moon.

All of these games will be free for Plus members starting October 7th. Watch the video below to see these titles in action.

  • Kristine – When will the free version of Dirveclub be available???

  • @498
    Whoops you’re right. I meant to say Rainbow Moon. I do adore Harvest Moon though. hahaha~

  • As far as the Plus Driveclub version, this Kotaku article states that the developers are holding it back until the server issues can be cleared up.

  • @ mdnytecartunr

    Thank you for shedding some light on the situation. Obviously SONY isnt to concerned.

  • Yes, thank you. Doesn’t excuse the fact that we had to go to third party sources to get these answers. Just direct us to buy the full version. Way to not give a $h^t Sony. Nothing learned from the last console gen…. Sigh.

  • So, we don’t get Driveclub, we just get the option to buy Driveclub? Does it not come out yet or something? I would have liked to see more of a real title on PS4, getting tired of these little indie flash game things I’ve been getting.

  • Still no DriveClub?!

  • Such weak choices for the ps4 the last few months ?

  • Not happy with the games :( No more indie, more AAA and current games.

  • Why i didn’t get any free games this month??
    i’am on region 3

  • Not meaning to be rude or start anything here as I’m mostly happy with Sony but…Does anyone actually notice the false advertisement here for Drive Club PS Plus Edition? Sony advertised it’s release as a line up for October 7th which people who are wanting that version of the game are still stuck waiting with it not even in the store yet. I wonder how Sony plans to compensate it’s PS Plus Subscriber base?

  • OMni_produs- Are you being serious or are you trolling? Compensated for a game release delay? False advertising?

    Man the game is late, just late.

    All the crazy crap going on in the world and you want to be compensated for a game delay.
    Beam me up!

  • Might compensate us with another crap indie game, you watch they will throw in a good game around Christmas to drum up some business, then start back with games people are not interested in again in the new year, my subscription will be stopped by then

  • SONY LISTEN:
    After the Driveclub Disaster this month, you should better give us something good next month.
    PS4 1 Year anniversary is coming and to be honest, Binding of Isaac is a good game but not enough..

    its not enough, so you should better come up with an idea.
    psn is really bad right now, ps+ is a bad service, everything get out of control.

    my proposal:

    Binding of Isaac Rebirth

    and

    Something GOOD ( Knack, Injustice, Octodad,

    (Safe Assassins Creed 4 for the new year or 2015, Tomb Raider, Rayman, Infamous, Whistleblower, Wolfenstein, Watchdogs, Oddworld )

  • @Soyoki: PS+ is a product, a paid subscription service. It is not free, it is not nice of Sony, and if you’ve any taste as a gamer at all, or only have one device (Vita especially) then its a questionable value.

    Now, the official blog says all games will be free on October 7th. That’s advertisement. Seeing as we’re past that date, it’s a false advertisement. Compensation’s not only a good idea, but an optional refund for our subscriptions, too. Sony lies. Example; we were told that if we payed our hard earned cash, we’d receive two games per month for each device. Some months had zero or one PS4 games available before. Here we go again.

    SONY: Give us good games, not glorified demos like “Drive Club: PlayStation Plus Edition”, indie trash like “Pix the Cat”, and “discounts” that make us laugh. Thanks.

  • what day will batman arkham asylum come out?

  • First time when they delayed it, they gave us CONTRAST, i expect a free game to be honest

  • driveclub ps+ edition got canceled/delayed. they even took the official ps plus october video on youtube out, because the storm was to heavy.
    first time when they delayed driveclub, they gave us CONTRAST, i expect a free game to be honest. 

  • When is Driveclub ps plus edition coming?

  • Hi, I’m a bit confused about the Spelunky cross-buy… I’m looking at the Playstation Store on my PC, and Spelunky is there for Vita, PS3, and PS4, but I can only add one to my cart. How do I get the others? Are they automatically added after I pick one? The cross-buy for Rainbow Moon is labeled ‘Cross buy’ and once you add that to your cart, the individual games can’t be selected, which makes sense, but that doesn’t work for Spelunky. A little help here?

  • Here’s an idea… Why don’t we ps4 owners, get some AAA titles from the ps3. Sony has already shown that the os4 has compatability with ps3 games via play station now, so why don’t they use that entire repotuir of games while they’re building up their new list of ps4 Games. I’m sure some of us would like to play dead space, crysys 3, batman, tomb raider, Saint row 4, or any big game like that instead of some of the indie cr@p that we usually get. It’s almost been a year since the ps4 release and we still haven’t received any better games in psn that when it began.

  • I loved ps plus when I had the ps3, there were actually games that I had heard of wanted to try. I hate to be a whiner but I have yet to see a ps4 freebie worth downloading. It is month after month of indie/ App Store games. I’m ready for a real title.

  • You know it has been a sad couple of months when you spend more time with your wiiu than your PS

  • How come I am unable to download DriveClub PlayStation Plus Edition?
    I cannot find it anywhere on the playstation store

  • Has anyone been able to download DriveClub? when i try to download it it tells me its unavailable. so i click on it to tell me why and it says the reason why i can’t download DriveClub is because i already own Playstation plus….

  • Sony! Give me a reason to not throw my ps4 in the garbage and buy an xbox 1.

  • i could go for some Disgaea 4: A Promise Revisited for November!

  • Fortunately my ps+ just expired. I wont renew my membership until I get compensation for this Delay Clubs BS.

  • You got me! I’ve waited for a month with a game I never played, Batman Arkham Asylum. Also, looking forward to checking out Dust. Looking forward to the next 11 months of discovering games I’d never have tried otherwise.

    But here’s a short ps+ wish list:

    PS4

    MGS 5
    Amazing Spider Man 2
    Thief
    Wolfenstein

    PS3

    Journey
    Flower
    Portal 2
    Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Remix
    R.U.S.E.
    Catherine

  • My PS plus runs out December, i’ll be giving microsoft my money in future, so long Sony sucker

  • hello im gamerkyle17. I was once gamerkyle16, but someone at sony entertainment have suspended my account. my playstation plus was gone. can someone help me get a 1 year of playstation plus because that’s what I had. please help me anyone!

  • November should be like this

    PS4: Binding of Isaac Rebirth

    PS4: Knack

    To celebrate the one year anniversary of the PS4 Sony finally give us a AAA launch title, in the form of Knack. The DriveClub PS+ edition isn’t mentioned.

  • i hope to see some actual good games worthy of the PS4 PS+ free games for Nov… binding isaac imo is not 1 of them and from all the commotion this month about driveclub i can careless if it ever makes an appearance as a free game…
    this month the only game relatively fun was Dust it was drawn well and has a good story, everything for PS3 was boring and all the other games just outright sucked… and Dust honestly shoulda been part of the PS3 game list… please give us diversity in Nov no more 2Dfruity games for PS4 please, they are a waste of both space and capabilities, i wanna show off why people should get a PS4 and PS+ and these type of games dont do it justice…

  • oh and sum2 mentions playstation now and how ps4 is more then capable of playing our old ps3 games… i want Nov to bring the ability to DL our already paid for digital PS3 games along with any other ps3 psn games we had or have in our download list, on our account…

  • edit:
