GRID 2 launched to critical acclaim earlier this year for its successful mixing of arcade and simulator styles. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, on the other hand, is more of a kart racer, complete with power ups but the ever-shifting tracks means your badass kart can also transform into a plane or boat.
You can hop into Borderlands 2 for free later this month on PS3, and this game absolutely shines with co-op, so be sure to bring some buddies along with you while you blast away all the skags on Pandora. You can build out your vault hunter how you like – focus on damage or get some support skills to aid yourself & your friends.
Finally, Vita owners can scrape their knees up a bit with Urban Trial Freestyle. Successfully complete the tricks, customize your bike and then challenge your friends with the asynchronous Ghost mode.
These games will hit the Instant Game Collection at various times throughout the month, so check back with us every Monday morning to see all the benefits of your membership.
There will also be a special Black Friday deal for PlayStation Plus at select retailers nationwide. Pick up 1 year of PS Plus for only $29.99* — that’s 40% off the regular price of $49.99. With PS Plus, you’ll get new games every month with Instant Game Collection. You’ll also get access to online multiplayer on the PS4 system. Best of all, one membership will cover you across your PS4, PS3, and PS Vita, for just $29.99*.
*A one-year PlayStation Plus membership will be $29.99 on Black Friday only

To my great shame, I’ve missed out on these two great games; So im SUPER STOKED
Show some love to Playstation 4 Users. :(
Why did we stop receiving PSP games every month? It’s not as though there’s enough Vita games to offer us to make up for it, and they were always nice to receive, so why did it stop?
Sorry all you PS4 peeps aren’t getting your free games… What I wonder is, if you had the money to drop on a PS4, then why are you whining so much about FREE GAMES. Boo hoo for you.
PS4: I’m sticking with the theory that since 2 games were given away at launch, one counts for November and the other for December. So I wouldn’t expect anything else till January. Maybe you didn’t like those 2 games, but it is what it is.
In general, you guys should all realize by now that we don’t get 24-hours-a-day 7-days-a-week service on this blog. Most of the concerns expressed on here aren’t officially addressed at all. So rant all you want, but lower your expectations about replies. Ain’t gonna happen.
saddy no new free games for ps4 lol well it is new lol
cooool
nice! borderlands!!!!
can we please get discounts on the DLC’s?
or at least give us the option to upgrade to the GOTY version…
keep up the good work!

You sound salty, jealous and thirsty.
wow were are the ps4 games im kinda getting sick of the playing the same 4 games from november 15th and they should change this beacause i can garentee you over half the people with ps-plus are uing ps4 please cosider adding at least 1 game next tuesday sony i know its hard because there very few games out i know they are expensive but we do pay 40 $ a month
“40 $ a month”
Lawl.
I must be honest, I’m let down that there is absolutely no PS4 content here. I bought a PS4 at launch, making the switch from a strictly Xbox household partly because of all the great things I was hearing about PS+. Where is the PS4 content?
we need more rpgs for the vita “Tales of the world radiant myth would be cool” i mean come on it was an epic game i had to create a jap account just to play them and i don’t get half what are they saying i just leveling up and finding what to do in some missions…
Hey I’ve been wondering and if anyone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. I bought BL2 GOTY edition on black friday as a gift. Since I get BL2 for free, could I use the second disc on BL2 GOTY to get all the dlc and still be able to use it again for when I give it as a gift to my friend?
this is an awesome update. Borderlands 2 was epic. congrats to the people who will get to check it out that hadn’t before.
only question again is where’s the stuff for those who upped to a PS4 and no longer have our PS3? can we get these games too? even if they’re not updated visuals. they still look & play amazingly on the PS3 as is. post after post I keep feeling like there’s no news for the PS4.
Warframe & Resogun are AWESOME but who wouldn’t want Grid or Bordlerlands 2 for free? please make it happen guys! thanks!
Got my Vita and signed up for PS+ on 11/26, with SINE MORA still prominently featured (even today) on the website as free with PS+, but it’s always $10 in the store. Any explanation for this? I love the service, but this is super-confusing.
@firefingers15: You should be able to use the on-disc DLC with the downloaded main game once it drops as free to Plus (probably next week). Just keep in mind that you won’t be able to use the DLC if your Plus sub expires since you won’t have access to the game itself. Re-sub and everything goes back to normal, though. :)
BTW Amazon has BL2 GOTY for $20 right now. Limited time/availability.
@SDkngsht: AFAIK PS4 can’t play PS3 games at all. :/
@jeblucas: Unfortunately, Sine Mora left the IGC on 11/26. :/

Is Grid 2 any good?
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING MONTH
HOLY ****
It’s frikin’ december and you give us THIS? In the final and best month of the year???
A lifeless and awful FPS with terrible humor and gameplay. Seriously and PLEASE, STOP WITH THE SHOOTERS. JUST STOP.
A normal racing game. woohoo
A boring rythm game. There are far more entertaining Rythm games, and give us this one…
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is an amazing RACING game. I would loved to see this one on PS3 this month instead of Grid 2… But no, it’s for vita.
Urban Trial Freestyle… I would liked to see it on PS3 too.
For shame Sony. I expected a lot more to give a lot of players an awesome Christmas and New Year. But no, you give us a kick in the face.
pretty nice,, better than the last
well not bad month for the vita but it could have been beter.
just got a vita and im enjoying my free games
The PS 4 just came out. I understand if Sony has no games to give right now. They are so generous with the Ps3 and Vita games. There is no way I can finish all these games before the next month of games s upon me. Love Ps Plus
when do they update it to that
@ Viewtiful_Gene
I can’t tell if you’re trolling or if you really are a super crybaby.
If you really feel like Sony kicked you in the face, then I’m glad. Crybabies deserve to be kicked in the face. And I hope you get a lot more kicks to the face in the future. :)
Wow PS+ is so worthless for PS4 users. No new game for PS4, I know system still new, not many games are out yet, but this is their fault by not making PS4 play PS3 games.
Lack of ICO for PS4 is bull, PS+ is a worthless services for PS4 users. Pay 50 and all it good for is playing Online. No ICO, any discounts would only be for PS3 and Vita right now.
Since they wanted to make PS4 not play PS3, – than we need to take a stand and force them if they care about their users, to make some sort of PS4 game every month for our ICO – of course they can solve all this by sending out a software update, allowing the PS4 to play PS3 games – even if it only digitial ones (that would at least allow those of use with just PS4 to take advantage of ICO liek PS3 users do).
Owners of a PS4 must understand that there isn’t very many PS4 content and it isn’t up to Sony to put the games for free it is up to the developers/publisher to give Sony permission to let their titles go for free.
4 out of 5 driving games? Seriously?
Not really diverse…
I can’t make another subscription to PS Plus (US), I’m only gonna play 2 games a year from the IGC…
Wow, what a *puts on shades* racy update.
Ok, I’m going to go sit in the bad pun corner.
Looks like fun. I liked Grid but never played Grid 2. Freestyle game for Vita looks good, and I was looking for a racer for vita too. I mean, it’s no N4S:MW, but hey, might be good.
BL2 is great for anybody living under a rock. I bought it long ago on a steam sale. Very fun FPS/RPG.
Overall, 2nd month in a row where PS+ is a hit. Keep it coming :-)
I already have Borderlands and all the dlc but it’s great for those who have never played it. However, I really wish the other 2 games weren’t racing games though. As someone who hates racers it makes this month a bust for me.
You can now Download Grid 2 it’s up as Free
will these games be free to play on the PS4 as well? If not will there be different ones for the PS4? or just the same ones we already can play for free.
Seems like PS4 isn’t getting anything compared to the PS Vita and PS3. Step it up!
Shoot! I missed out on Dragon’s Dogma! I really wanted to download that for free. I just activated my PS+ subscription today, and this game is no longer available for free :-( Is there a chance it might be back eventually?
Thanks.
Yet another month of crap. Borderlands 2 is the best game available. Too bad already own it. If the borderlands 2 DLC is not on some amazing sale, I wont be resubscribing to this waste of money. Try putting out more than one decent game at a time. Cause when you own the best available game, it sucks the only other options are two subpar racing games.
Yeah some PS4 stuff would be really great…
o__o’
Hey add me if you wanna play a new start of borderlands 2 I have all dlc up to tiny Tina’s attack on dragons keep so yeah add me and message me if you wanna play a brand new save , if you have a mike it helps . Thanks in advance
No PS4?
@Viewtiful_Gene Borderlands 2 is the best game Sony has ever given us this month and I’m happy with it. Say that again and I’ll kick you the face and break your arm off like Rorke did with Logan in Call of Duty: Ghosts.
@ALLhippysMUSTdie Ogres like you need to go back to the dungeon and I hope you stay there forever.
This list is a joke. I own well over 350 ps titles and been a ps+ member for 3 years.I have a psp. Ps vita. Ps3. Ps4. The only decent game thats free at the moment that adults can relate to is. Ps4’s warframe. Sony need’s to pay more respect to the more mature gamer.
I can’t wait for them to release :D
Any clues on when exactly the game’s are out?
We need Borderlands 2 today, I’m frozen in my house in DFW Texas, early Christmas here we come…. please, pretty please with sugar on top… and a cherry =)
Man I was really looking forward to see what would be on PS4, well I guess they don’t have much of a library with the PS4 JUST coming out.
december 9th and still no sonic racing or urban?why?
VERY DISAPPOINTED!
i want ps4 games.
no one is going to let their ps4 collect dust while they play on the ps3!!!
and what about subscribers who only have a ps4? Don’t they deserve some games? or at least a game?
i haven’t turned on my ps3 since i got my ps4, and i would much rather remote play nfs rivals on vita, then play sonic racing.
while i’m really really happy with this list. i can’t seem to download the new games on this list for my vita, i really want sonic & all-stars racing transformed, and urban trailfreestyle, i was able to nab Soul Sacrifice and oddworld, heck i was able to get borderlands 2 but not the other games in this list? is there something wrong with my account?
Sony pls give us at least one PS4 game.
Hello kristine please add runner2 for Psvita in next month.
Thank you, SCE <3
So basically, I should have waited to buy a PS4. Considering that DriveClub was pushed back, it feels like we won’t see any new PS Plus content for a long time on the PS4. With only two mediocre exclusives to play until what? February?
I play my PS3 way more than my PS4. Maybe I should just sell my PS4 while they’re hot and buy one when there is actually some exclusive games worth playing or more than a demo-like game on PS Plus.
