Don’t Starve Out Today on PS4, Free for PS Plus

EU release is Jan 08. I’m not sure about what time, but North America went up around 2:30pm. So I’d expect something similar, but can’t confirm.

Thanks so much for the kind words. Glad I could be here to help answer questions. After today, if you or anyone else wants to chat I’m always watching @klei on Twitter. I try my hardest to personally answer everything!

Ahhhh yes, unfortunately, we use that button “in-game” so we opted not to use it to prevent accidental miss-use. But in the main menu and pause D-Pad works. Maybe revisit that in a future update. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for checking it out! Glad you’re enjoying it :)

I will do that! Thanks so much for taking the time to check it out, we hope you enjoy it on PS4 :) We’re really glad we could make this happen on PSN.

Wooh! Have fun :D

That’s exactly why we’re happy to have it free on PSN+ so it’s out there for people to try. Hope you enjoy it :)

It’s hard to say quantify how big, but they’re quite large, plus there are massive cave areas, with multiple layers.

Sometimes that happens, try going to “Restore licences” under the PSN heading

Sounds like someone is taking advantage of their PSN+ membership well. “How do I hold all these free games?!” haha, hope you enjoy it when you do get a chance to check it out!

It didn’t update until about 2:30PM PST in NA, so if you’re waiting in EU it probably won’t be until around the same time in the latest time zone. Keep an eye on EU PSN for updates. If your in NA try logging out and logging back in.

Enjoy :)

Hey sorry to hear you had troubles, if you’re able to give us info on how to recreate this or what was going on head over to our forum at forums.kleientertainment.com and let us know in the bug report section.

It didn’t update until about 2:30PM PST in NA, so if you’re waiting in EU it probably won’t be until around the same time in the latest time zone. Keep an eye on EU PSN for updates. It’s slated for January 08 release though. Just waiting on the PSN EU to update.

We wish we could release on the same day, but it’s simply due to the PSN release schedule for their network. They do one region at a time. It is slated to launch on Jan 08, but we aren’t sure when the PSN will update, it’s not at an exact time.

Heya! In the case of Trophies, Sony requires trophies for publishing on the PSN / PS4 and they decide if a game has a Platinum trophy.

I’m not sure how it’s selected from our side, but we did get to pick what the requirements to earn our allotted Trophies were.

As for PSN deals, I’m sure similar to publishing distribution deals for retail / purchase download (Don’t Starve was self published by us!) they’re different for every single game. It would be up to Sony and the Developer to find an agreement when it comes to free PSN+ games, and they change from title to title.

Yeah I don’t know the details for DS specifically. After this post kind of dies down, if you (or anyone else) ever wants to chat with us, we’re always on twitter @Klei!

if you’re in EU it will pop up once PSN EU updates their page. It’s not a set time, so we have to wait for them to do it.

Hahah yeah Don’t Starve had a ton of MP talk in the beta. Tons of forum threads and discussion. But in the end, we decided to focus on making a great single player game, that indeed is based around being lonely by design. We really wanted to commit to that promise of a great single player survival game, and put our energy into making great content and a fun experience for that.

This was a really new experiment for us, so we wanted to make either a great single player game, or a great multiplayer game. We felt the first run out single player fit the tone best. If it was designed to focus on it, it could be neat to explore the other side of the coin.

Thanks so much for checking it out. When you manage to find Chester, your world will feel a tiny bit less lonely. Perhaps the Pig Men can be wooed into friendship ;)

Thanks so much! We did indeed create Shank, Mark of the Ninja, and Eets. Thanks so much for checking out our games :)

Thank you!

Thanks so much! That’s exactly why we really wanted to get it on PSN+ Instant Game Collection. Really glad you had a chance to check it out and enjoyed it. Enjoy :)

Thanks so much for the support and kind words. We are indeed working on more content, some will be expansion some will be free, not sure what the final word is yet, but we’re still developing stuff. :)

It should be up now! just log out and log back in. PSN has a bit of a “range” of update times so even we don’t know when exactly it will go up. But it seems to be all good to go now!

It wouldn’t be answering questions on the internet without having to say the same thing over and over :P

That is awesome! Thank you so much for that post, it’s great you and your son can survive together. :)

Thank you for the update! I have to wait with everyone too, I have no idea when stuff goes live. I hear about it from Twitter and these comments haha

Alas, no consoles support user coded content. So all mods have to live on PC, where we don’t have an ESRB / PEGI to deal with, and we don’t need to put every single code change through Certification. It would be really cool to allow mods, but alas, it’s just not possible.

And you’ll look mighty fancy… crazy… but fancy!
