  • This is not okay. Normally I am fine with the many, many indie games they give us every month, but XB1 is getting the newest Tomb Raider and 360 is getting crysis 3. Why are we not getting games like that sony?

    • Because Sony is ripping us off and they know it. I’m seriously thinking of selling out but love PlayStation too much been a PlayStation fan and owner of a counsel since the 90’s and this starting to piss me off, been playing PlayStation since most players were just a twinkle in thier mommy and daddy eyes.

  • Every single free game ive received, downloaded, played and then deleted kuz there all pants an if u do play them then u were probly better off stikkin with your ps2 until something good comes out. Some of the free to play games like planetside 2 are wot make ps4 an fingers crossed H1Z1 sometime this yr on free to play.

  • Not sure why grow home won. The vikings game looked far more interesting than anything else and we already get a ton of platformers for free.

  • “PlayStation Plus members! Your voices have been heard.” Honestly? There are people hoping for games that look like they belong on a mobile phone for their PS4? Who knew…

  • More Yawn games for PS4 woopty doo.

  • Great grow home won…………………… the only one I didn’t want and IMO the worst of the 3 choices we had. Oh well can’t win them all, but I do like the voting system if we get it again. However, if it will be more of the majority voting for the one game of three I don’t want then it will start to get pretty frustrating really quickly.

  • Good list but it could have been better. STFU will kick ass though.

  • Wtf? These games are for Terminator. I wouldn’t pay 1$ for each

    • I’m with and a crap load of others these games are utter crap, i buy games and i would like some good free games as wellnot some “joe smoe ” GAME a piece of crap game i wouldn’t pay for to save my kife heck Ps3 is at the back-burner and thier getting great games ii buy game I’ve got GTA5 /ESO/ this years top pick till i get BLACK OPS 3/ AND StarWars battlefront but a awesome free game would i already waste money on PlayStation plus every year

  • i buy games as well but I’d and about a Million other peopleWouldLikeAAA games I HATE these BS indie crap i can understand psvita .Wewant better looking games period, and for those who want reply with “Go buy some” i do I’ve bought GTA 5/ESO/pre-ordered BLACK OPS 3ANDStarWarsBattleFrontI’ve been a PlayStation fan since the mid 90’s and i can say the games they’ve been giving out for the ps4 is a joke! You don’t cheat out TRUE FANS who pay 49$ a year on top of what we pay for newly released games. Its been 2 years now and still no good free games, i think the only good one was the Injustice game, i know games like Thief and a few others which were released should be free already, so with all crap load of cash PlayStation gets now from “online is a must now”, you people should be hooking us true die hards better than some “joe smoe” indie crap games, and for you who think your a PlayStation true fan, i was gaming it up before you were a twinkle in You’re mommy and daddy’s eyes, so I’m entitled for my post#TRUEPLAYSTATIONFAN I’m not some kid Who’s been playing PlayStation only since the ps2 or ps3 came out. And most of these indie games are worst then a crappy nes or n64 game.

  • i wont resub until bigger aaa games for ps4.

  • ps plus is not worth anymore, only indiegames.

  • Common. Next time try harder SONY.

  • Wow… suck-fest right there….

  • Hooray! More games you’d expect to see on a phone or tablet! Roughly 3% of the games offered since launch haven’t been retro 80s/90s styled games.

    On behalf of many old school gamers, I’d like to say the following:
    To all the people who say “You want AAA titles every month? Go buy them.” Many of us do on a regular basis. We simply want more bang for our buck subscription wise. If you love indie/retro games, we’re happy for you that you’re happy with your subscription. Many of us are not. Please do not try to rationalize to us why the service is good or how it’s not that much to pay for what you get. Consumer trends dictate the market. As is, too many consumers are complacent with these retro/indie titles. Which, again, is fine if you’re a die-hard fan of the genre or never played such titles before (looking at you youngsters here) but for those of us who bought next-gen consoles to play next-gen console games, the vast majority of these “freebies” simply aren’t up to par.

    Also, before some wannabe internet super-sleuth criticizes that I’m not even a subscriber, this is a sub account to a paid account and I (like many) am not certain if I will be renewing or not.

    Peace.

  • I genuinely believe that Sony needs to provide better games with this service. Or else they are really going to start losing people.

    This isn’t a case where you can just pass us “free” mostly indie games that look like they could have been produced in 1998. It does have to include at least 1 AAA title monthly.Otherwise people will begin moving away from Sony to Microsoft. I know that members among my friends have already moved because of this, and others have / are considering it.

    Microsoft does provide AAA titles, and they do it every month. This month, its Tomb Raider Definitive Edition for Xbox One, while we get Grow Home. The best AAA title we’ve gotten in the last couple of months was Ground Zeros, which naturally Xbox gave to their subscribers too.

    For me, I view it as a Sony v. Microsoft thing. Both are offering a similar service, similar titles are offered on both platforms. For every Sony exclusive, there is a Microsoft exclusive, and so on…

    But in the category of PSN v. Gold membership, Sony is being out-competed every month. To me, the competition hasn’t been close for a long time.

  • Huh…another pass month for me yet again. Been several months now. I did grab GoW: Ascension for my PS3, though. I’ll probably do with Grown Home what I did with Rocket League: Download, play for 20-30 minutes, get annoyed at it/hate the “artsy style” gameplay/want to kill the online community, and then delete it.

    PS+ is so meh…I’m getting angry I have to pay to keep playing online on anything with my friends. Before the free games made it worth it, however, lately it’s been a complete waste of money since the games aren’t very good at all.

  • Pass. Like others have said, we should get the game we vote for for free, not be forced to buy single player boring games that should be free anyways. Twisted metal was a free game months ago anyways. It’s cool, I haven’t paid for plus and Ps now is a joke of a paid service. I mean at least Microsoft learned and offered better titles unlike sony who had great titles and ideas for a streaming service that I’ve had for FREE ON MY PC and it does it cheaper and better. Vote to play just like you vote for president. You think your vote matters when in reality you’re just paying for the illusion of choice.

  • I gave up buying games for the ps4,vita and ps3 as soon as they started to give away games i had paid for.

  • No just no go and release the good Indie games not stupid **** like grow home and atleast give us some stuff to enjoy with friends like last month we got temple of osiris none of the ps4 games look good and I got twisted metal off of playstation now

  • What is this??? Am i the only person seeing that these indies belong in the stone age? Those graphics are horrible considering i have a next gen console!! Its like backwards evolution.

  • Oh what a suprise more indie games. While the ps3 gets proper game. Please PlayStation just give me a full game and a decent oneto. Not everyone like cute indie games. We pay a lot of money for our monthly subscription and the only games ever on offer are games that look like they belong pin the ps2. You do remember that the ps4 is a next gen console. Give me a game that shows what ps4 is capable of.

    • Rocket League kind of showed off the new gen quite well (you can tell by how hard the fan has to work when you are playing it). It’s quite pretty and has a good framerate Just a shame that the servers are crap and I seem to spend the whole time rubberbanding!!!!. I was disappointed to see that Grow Home won. I expect this has something to do with economics….you see grow home is availabe on steam for around £5.99 or $9.99 Whereas the other two are priced at around £12.99 or $19.99. So it makes sense for sony to give away the cheaper one at half the price ….right?

  • What time do they usually become available? I am looking forward to trying them out but it’s 12.10pm (Tuesday Sept 1st) and they are not yet listed on my system? I thought that in Europe they were available from the early morning onwards?

    Is there some sort of reset I need to do?

    Wise man say “your patience will be answered, but time question your patience”

  • I have xbox live and PSN, the free xbox live free games are HANDS DOWN better every single month without fail. Sony has lost another customer, time to trade in the ps4 for another xb1

  • wow i thought this was the free playstation 3 and 4 games for september page, didnt know that super nintendo had this sort of thing.

  • it´s the first tuesday of the month and I cant download them, theres still Limbo and Lara Croft :O

  • Can I play Twisted Metal on the PS4 and is it free only I have PS Now subscription? It looks like I’m being asked to get that when I already have Playstation Plus

  • Yay, more side scollers … just what I don’t want. A mediocre car game from 3 years ago and some weird indie crap … which we have had more than enough of since the launch of the PS4.

    Can I give up a month of my life to reroll these?

  • I won’t pass up a chance to play a free game, but this is getting old. Every month it’s another Indie game, and although a few have been amazing, what’s the point of releasing these? We don’t need a free $60 AAA game monthly, but once every 2-4 months would be nice. This is a PS4, next gen console, high graphics, blah blah blah, and yet, mostly 2D “retro” games? Step it up…

  • What a bunch of fanboy brown-nosers. You guys realize no matter how much butt you kiss, you aren’t gonna get free stuff?

    We don’t HAVE to like the free games that are released, and just like you guys we’re allowed to express our distaste for them.

  • Armello was a better choice in my opinion that game was super super unique. I’m really sad it didn’t win.

  • Glad to see the full potential next gen, this is complete crap . If i wanted to play indie or old school games, i would buy that hardware . I feel ripped off, though some months are decent, like injustice, styx, the rest are dull, old or indie crap . At lest let each chose somethiing, or make it so everyone has an option, i have played less than 30% of the games this past year .

    • Agreed. Another disappointing month. For those telling us these games are free so we should appreciate them, they aren’t free. We do pay money for them. Gold is getting Crysis 3 and TR this month. I am not asking Sony to provide us a new game that costs a lot of money. But please for once give us a AAA title for the PS4. Or how about we compromise and you don’t force us to buy Plus in order to play with our online friends? This wouldn’t be an issue if I didn’t have to subscribe to your Plus service in order to play online with my friends(Something you lied to us about when you said you would never charge us to do prior to the PS4). Since that’s the case, you should provide me with a decent older AAA game every once in awhile. Some people don’t care for indies. I am one of those people.

  • Grow Home is horrible. Looks like crap, plays like crap. What did a bunch of 12 year Olds vote for this boring piece of garbage?

  • Grow Home, why did it win?? Its really a crappy game, I tried for 15 minitues of gameplay and ended delete it…

  • Great month IMO. Some people want AAA games all the time I guess. Personally I love when PS+ gives us games that are a little different and quirky that we might not already own.

    • Nobody is saying we only ever have to have AAA games. Nobody is saying those games need to be new. I am fine with getting an older AAA game every once in awhile. We aren’t getting that. It’s indie fest on the PS4 and it’s not even close to what the XBox is getting. It’s not like Sony is giving us these lousy indies out of the goodness of their heart. They are profiting off of our PS Plus subscriptions. Like I said, if they want to compromise then drop the requirement for Plus to play online with our friends…. Something they promised us they would never charge for prior to the PS4. Wait, that will never happen. That would mean giving up a nice revenue stream. So here’s the deal…. If you need 10 more bucks to match the Gold subscription price in order to offer us better games like Gold does then I am willing to pay it. If you aren’t interested in giving away an older AAA game every now and then for whatever reason then take away the Plus requirement to play online with friends. Easy solution they will never consider. Not every gamer is alike. I understand some of you like indies. I would say the vast majority of gamers don’t care for them however. I fall under the latter category.

    • ? We only want the occasional triple a game. Instead of just constant **** indie games that have no place outside of a phone. Most of these games I wouldn’t even bother with on my phone. And this is a ps4… Step it up Sony, give us something that’s worth the key we pay. Even just something like ground zeroes or rocket league. Not these **** 2d platformers, I paid for a ps4 not an snes

  • Woah woah woah. So Ps3 Owners get Twisted Metal for free, yet I still have to pay 4.99 if I want to rent it on Ps4?

  • I’m playing grow home and it’s boring me just about as much as I expected from trailer. I thought something was fishy when it was so ahead in the votes but evidently according to the comments here people did vote for this. Armello looked like such a sure thing I’ll probably end up just buying it. I thought play station fixed it so grow home won because of the 3 it seemed less likely to be bought. Maybe I’m missing something but after an hour and a bunch of collected gems I’m not seeing anything rewarding from my experience. i would like to hear other people’s opinions on what they got out of an hour of playing.

  • Wow such idiot voting for Grow Home, a mario type game come on, it was a mediocre type game that was gonna be low in price any ways, vote for the one thats gonna cost more and then buy the other at discount, come on kids think before voting, get more out of what your paying, I think it was rigged. Also make both most voted games free for Playstation Plus.

  • Oh gee… Another crap load of games. I don’t think I’ve even downloaded one good game this year on my ps4 that’s been worth keeping for over a month. Last couple of months have nearly made me reconsider my ps-plus membership. The only reason I’ve kept it is because there still putting decent games out on PS3. I love the concept but please no more indie games or as a lot of the comments have said lame games. Play station rules!!

  • when is sony going to start having a triple a games for ps plus free game, i’m fine with at least one indie game a month but considering one of xbox1’s free game for aug was metal gear solid 5 ground zeroes & for sep its tomb raider definitive edition, while their second game is a indie title.

  • Boring as usual.

  • I just played all the ps plus games and I got say the games are horrible. I enjoy super time force ultra little bit but wont play long. Grow home very clunky controls and not smooth.

  • There have been some pretty decent games on PS+. Well, some good months and some terrible, this isn’t one of the good months.

    Boils down to another collection of hand me down PC indie games that have made it to Playstation.

    Everyone likes free stuff but those aren’t great. Gonna have to pass this month.

  • *GROAN*
    Can we please get a few A-list games for the PS4 instead of all these indie/platformers/”artsy” titles?
    These looks like it belongs on a 3DS.

  • more platformers – the ps plus titles have one shining out title every six months or so but mostly childish rubbish.
    Coming next month bouncy bear in the platforms of peril, mrs monkey and the leaping stones of doom and some twisted weirdness you need lsd to enjoy.
    Ps plus, ps pointless more like, bin the freebies and drop the price to play online pls.

  • i started playing stfu. its okay but really this game belongs on ps2 or a phone. i can see it on vita maybe but PS4 should really get some better games. it is nice to have some classic games on my ps4 to play from time to time, but these honestly seems like nintendo games and i think a lot people who buy a $400 system feel like they should get more games that are meant for next gen system. also is it me or do we seem to be getting a lot of side scrollers? i havent tried grow home, but not sure if want to. honestly if any of my friends saw on PSN i was playing one of these games i wouldnt hear the end of it. kind of like how i enjoyed playing super exploding zoo but i only play it on vita now because i feel like i shouldnt tarnish my ps4 with this kiddie game.

  • Dropped my Plus subscription when it expired, and I’ve yet to have a reason to regret it.

    Guess I’ll use those $50 to buy Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls instead… direct from NIS America.

  • I want to really like “Grow Home” but I have not seen clipping, tearing, and camera issues this horrendous since the 90s. Lol. Feels like a Pre-Alpha product. I voted for “Armella” and will most likely be purchasing both it and “Vikings” since they both look WAY more interesting than the gameplay I have experienced so far in “Home”.

  • We have a state of the art gaming console in the Ps4 and this is the crap you offer for a monthly subscription? Really? UNSUBSCRIBED. This is just to frequently unsatisfying.

  • What a load of crap you don’t need a PS4 to play those, It’s insult to all PS PLUS members, regarless you’d like it and wanted to play it… man it’s taking me a great effort to type whithout insults, PS+ will have it for free but 14.99 dollars for a pixel game someone call the cops an arrest them that’s plain robbery

  • Why would people vote on such a dumb looking game at least the Viking game is 4 player co-op which is rare now adays
