PlayStation 4 Includes Free Month Of Plus, $10 Store Credit
For a limited time, Sony is rewarding PlayStation 4 buyers with a trio of bonuses. One of them means that everyone will have access to Resogun and Contrast for free on day one.
In every PlayStation 4 box, Sony will be including vouchers for 30 days of PlayStation Plus, 30 days of PlayStation music, and $10 in PlayStation Store credit. PlayStation Plus gives you access to free games (as long as your membership is current), which means everyone will be able to download and play Instant Game Collection titles on November 15.
Sony hasn’t specified how long this offer will be hanging around for. If you’re getting a console at launch though, you can expect to find these nestled up against your PS4.

Our Take
Sony’s approach with PlayStation Plus since the introduction of Instant Game Collection has been brilliant. Hooking people with free games during the PS3 era meant building a subscriber base that offered less resistance to moving multiplayer behind the paywall. Including a free month for everyone at launch is a smart incentive that will convert new owners into long-term subscribers.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
