After an incredible week at E3, we’re back in action with our noses to the grindstone, so to speak. You likely saw the announcements that touched on PlayStation Plus, and we’re looking forward to sharing more news with you in the coming months on PS Plus and the benefits of one membership across PS3, PS Vita, and now PS4; of which we confirmed will have an Instant Game Collection.
Of course, we’re still bringing you new content every week in PS Plus, and this week is no exception. With tomorrow’s PlayStation Store update, you’ll have access to the critically acclaimed Saints Row: The Third on PS3, and the anime stylized PSP action game Gods Eater Burst (compatible on PS Vita); both free with your PS Plus membership. Read on, and let us know what you think!
June 18th PlayStation Plus Update
Saints Row: The Third (PS3)
Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks and Johnny Gat bobble head dolls all available at a store near you. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute. Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to a new city.
Gods Eater Burst (PSP, Compatible on PS Vita)
In Gods Eater Burst, the earth is plagued by altered beasts known as Aragami. The player is a new member of an elite force created to wield the God Arc (the only weapon capable of killing the Aragami) and devour the hostile gods. The player’s mission is to defeat the Aragami and gather material from them for research, but the player soon will realize they are being drawn into a giant conspiracy that will irreversibly alter the fate of humanity

@243
Search for Saints Row 3, it is there.
Guys purchase it off of the Online Web Store, it’s already free there.
Wow, I have to reactivate my PS Plus. If only they had told us before E3 that Plus carries over to the PS4, then I would have bought the 1 year plus 3 bonus months deal back in March. Oh well. Great update!
I am happy with the plus program, :)
on a side not, How about games can be platinum, or double platinum.
Platinum would be for the regular campaign, and double would be for all the DLC involved with the game.
What say you? hahaha
So what’s up with Zero Escape? Wasn’t that supposed to be on Vita ps plus today?
New customer so I’m not too sure how this works
@Nintendude
The Vita games usually come the last week(s) of the month. Look for it next week.
Thank you @251 scorpionkid, downloading Saints Row now.
Already playing the game now because I Trail’d it 2 weeks ago many thanks for an awesome game this week.
YES!!!!!
Quick question, I started the full game trial of saints row 3 earlier, when its done do i have to redownload it to have it free, or will the purchase now say free after the hour. Also just had to say, been a plus member 2 years or so, yeah some months, i get games i have and such, but the quantity of games makes up for the price. Ideas like this and listening to consumers is why Playstation killed X box at E3. Also morgan, get job as the Plus form poster, I know you get alot of flack, but whats the saying, dont kill the messenger…lol
great job even^
Yup, Saint’s Row: The Third is indeed already listed as free. Downloading it now.
Dungeons and Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara is also available if you search for it on the web store. Not sure about the PS3 store.
so i started downloading the free trial, is this a problem
After the free trial expires just go into the game it will just register it as a plus game :-D thats what I’ve done.works fine
thanks ajmason, first time i thought about trying that…. duh… lol just hate waiting til 7 or so to start a download
No worries pal :-D
I think the most exciting thing for me, was saints row is only 7gb. Dood lord how big uncharted was. I started to just go buy it and save space
Good^
So how exactly can I get it again? I can’t seem to find it on the PSN Store on the PS3 or online
i went to plus full game trials
Aizawa, what do you mean Chronicles of Mystara is free?
Can’t find it free on the Online store.
still dont really see the incentive to going back to plus.. i already own every title that they publish pretty much it seems
I would like to see these in the US PS+
1) Red Dead Redemption
2) Hitman – Absolution
3) DmC
4) Max Payne 3
5) Darksiders 2
6) Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
7) ICO and Shadow of the Colossus HD Collection
8) Batman Arkham City
9) Mass Effect Trilogy
10) Grand Theft Auto 4 complete
11) Psychonauts
12) Limbo
13) L.A. Noire
14) Beyond Good and Evil HD
15) Dark Souls
16) Metal Gear Solid HD collection
Joe Danger and The Cave GTFO!!
My only suggestion for Plus: It would be cool if the newest free game was auto downloaded on Monday nights before the weekly update.
hey morgan you guys should put kingdom hearts birth by sleep for psp/psvita on ps+ so many people will love that! hopefully you reply. by the way nice update !
I’m gonna get this when I get home. I tried downloading xcom twice last week and it kept telling me file was corrupt anyone else have this problem?
i just purchased a plus subscription, and i see all the games on the game collection list, can i still get those or since i will barely be activating it, the only game i can get is saints row 3?
Hi, Im waiting the Uncharted 3 Brazilian Language Pack to start playing… can anyone from sony give me a reply? I can play in english, but my family is brazilian and we all would enjoy the game if you give us the language pack, since it exist already, why not to… Also, this is not my request alone, i’ve heard from friends and blogs that too are waiting as well. If this is not the right place to ask, recomend me one. By the way, thanks for the awesome games from plus, and discounts, Im still enjoying Tomb Raider and Playstation All Star Battle Royalle! Thanks again, and sorry for the trouble…
I can’t find SR in PSN store for free … Why? Is this offer is not for us subscribers or it’ll update later?
For people playing Gods Eater Burst on their PSVita i suggest changing the Camera which is the dpad to your right stick, easy way to do so is touch your front screen and hold till options come and up and just reassign the dpad to it for this game. it will save you you many headaches.
Awesome I’ve heard cool reviews about this game and I’m a fan of shooters and open world games looks so cool.
parapa the rappa (psp) for plus would be a dream.
also i would love to see classics enter the network such as (and I’m not the only one)
saga frontier (just want to beat reds play though without it freezing http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-General/SaGa-Frontier/td-p/37481485)
breath of fire 3 ( Google brings me hope with this http://www.destructoid.com/capcom-looking-into-breath-of-fire-iii-for-north-america-246390.phtml)
mega man legends (even though i know capcom has not rights to the voice performances. sad but one can still dream. this youtube video sums up my feelings http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3rNBAMt-kg)
Brave fencer musashi ( http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-2-PSOne/Bring-Brave-Fencer-Musashi-to-the-PSN/td-p/37040594)
simply because i have the disc but they are scratched and since i bought them for my psx ( and eventually ps1) i have never been able to beat them. these games are not on the store but very much deserve a place there.
I’d really like to see Terraria or Guacamelee on plus.
Playstation Plus is way to good I’m loving it, maybe one of those buy a year and get 3 months free would help bring even more people
Thank you Very much! i really want to try Saints Row!
I have to make a complain…You’re giving out too many great games and my Internet limit is busted everytime ;)
Anyone want to add me as a friend i got none
Respect our PS3 collections!
Maybe I don’t have all the facts regarding PSN’s policy when playing Digital Games.
I am tired of reading RANTs from people who pride their digital PS3 collections as if they will not play after the release of the PS4. As far as I know (correct me here) You can play PS3 games digital or optical on the PS3 after the PS4 is released.
Anywhoo,
Another great Tuesday in the books for the PS+ Update Team. Continue the great work!
@277 you can get all the games, as long as they are still free. Be sure to buy everything and cancel the download, so that they are yours forever…. kindda.
This is my first comment/feedback to my favorite team of best game console of all time, Playstation! Last year I switched over and happily I’ve been a plus member ever since. I’m just sad that I’ve missed so much by not this few years ago! I love you guys and I want to thank you all for all your effort!
First things first.Gongratulations for everything.And for the ps+ update for this month and also for PS4 (XBOX eat my dust!!!).Right now I’m playing XCOM and it’s very niceSecond, I just read July’s update for european ps+ users, and they are getting Battlefield 3.And they still have Catherine and last month they had Hitman.Is there any chance that we are getting these games in the future.And they got Rayman Legends and Unit 13 on the Vita.We got a bunch of PSP games (and Ninja Gaiden SIgma Plus of course!!!).And also, is there any chance that we can get the ps+ updates for the upcoming months a couple of weeks earlier?just like the european users?We will save a lot of money knowing what games we will get.Thanks guys!!!Keep up the good work
PS Plus is an amazing service and I have no complaints whatsoever about it. But one thing Sony needs to do is team up with Pandora and create an official Pandora app for the PS3/PS4/Vita. I definitely would use the hell out of it. I have my PS3 hooked up to surround sound and I currently have to use the browser to get pandora, but it lags a lot for some reason. When I stream audio to my system it lags as well, but rarely does when I stream video to it from my comp. Its weird.
I think Borderlands 2 should come to the IGC collection.
Amazing update on the Ps3 side. I honestly would like to see stuff like Kingdoms Of Amalur Reckoning though. And some discounts on upcoming Tales games. As for the Vita side stop with the psp games already. A cheap title like Guacamelee or Oddworld Stranger wrath would be nice. Btw what ever happend to the Crunchy Roll App that was confirmed for Vita in 2013?
Welp, I got something else to download.
Can we also get Battlefield 3 for free? Because EU PS+ are making it free in July.
OT:
i just became a PS plus subscriber.. anticipating the PS+ sale to apply to PS allstars on vita… unfortunately i did not and the sale is over D:.
i only have a vita…. btw. when will the vita version be 14.00$?
gonna get Payday the heist next month!!!
@ EnDWaR_94
We already got that game many months ago. That’s the EU getting it now. I’ve never seen a game come back to the IGC a second time. That’s not saying it can’t happen, but just hasn’t yet.
Just a question, how long will these games be up for in the instant game collection?
