For Honor and Hitman: The Complete First Season headline February's free games lineup, and members get a 10x increase in cloud storage for game saves.
Greetings, PlayStation Nation. Hope 2019 is off to a great start for you all!
Before we get to this month’s line up, we have news to share about cloud storage for PS Plus members. In early February, we will be expanding our cloud storage space from 10GB to 100GB for PS Plus members — giving PS4 owners even more space to keep all those game saves. With cloud storage, you can save your game progress and character profiles on one PS4 system, and then continue the game on another system later without losing progress. Be sure to check it out next month.
Now, let’s take a look at the free games next month, available starting on February 5, 2019.
First up, we have For Honor, the melee action game from Ubisoft. Experience the chaos of war and choose between Viking, Knight, and Samurai factions to find your perfect fighting style. Featuring 18 different PvP maps, this game will be sure to entertain you.
Next up, we have Hitman: The Complete First Season. Take on the role of Agent 47, the world’s ultimate assassin. Travel the globe to eliminate your targets in traditional and less traditional ways. From sniper rifles to expired spaghetti sauce, use the weapons at your disposal to become the master assassin.
This month’s PlayStation Plus lineup also includes:
- Divekick, PS3 (Cross-Buy with PS Vita)
- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, PS3
- Gunhouse, PS Vita (Cross-Buy with PS4)
- Rogue Aces, PS Vita (Cross-Buy with PS4)
This month’s PS3 and PS Vita games will be available for a few extra days, until March 8, 2019. PS4 games will be available until March 5, 2019, when the next monthly games lineup hits. As a reminder, after March 8, 2019, PS3 and PS Vita games will no longer be offered as part of the PS Plus monthly games lineup — so be sure to download them while they’re available. Any PS3 and PS Vita games you’ve already downloaded, or will download, prior to March 8, 2019 will still be part of your PS Plus games library as long as you remain a member.
For PlayStation VR fans, we’ve just announced big discounts on top PS VR titles, exclusively for PS Plus members. This includes 50% off Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Gold Edition, 25% off Borderlands 2 VR, and 20% off Astro Bot Rescue Mission. This sale runs until February 5 so don’t miss out.
Thank You for upping the Cloud Storage. I have been out of space for ages. Gonna be nice not having to manually back everything up to USB anymore.
Speaking of Manually managing saves. It would be awesome if you could get to the point where our cloud saves are persistent. I have been playing a lot of Xbox Game Anywhere games between PC and XBO X lately, and it is nice to be able to jump straight from one device to the next seamlessly. In the case of PS4, I have the Pro in the living room and my OG model in the bedroom, but I hardly ever play the OG because, it is always behind on save data.
If you folks at PlayStation could make it seamless, to go from playing in the living room, to continuing in the bedroom, that would be awesome. I’m talking, “PlayStation, Start Power, Enter Rest Mode”, Press PS Button on DS4 in the Bedroom, and right back were I left off in the living room.
It’s just two buttons when you select a game to sync or download saves.
