Claim Your Free PlayStation 4 Games Without Actually Owning The Console
When the PlayStation 4 launched on November 15, it brought with it two PlayStation Plus Instant Game Collection titles. Resogun and Contrast are available right now, but what if you want to make the most of your PlayStation Plus membership without the console?
Thanks to Sony’s online PlayStation Store portal, you can. Just sign in, add the two titles to your cart, and check out. When you get a PlayStation 4, you’ll have the licenses for those titles available to you (provided you’re still a PlayStation Plus member).
Thanks to reader Billy for the news tip!
Our Take
If you are currently a PlayStation Plus member, and even if you’re not sure if you’ll ever own a PlayStation 4, go do this right now. One of the things I love about the system was having five titles right away (inclusive of the free-to-play titles).
I would also recommend “buying” the licenses for everything that hits PlayStation Plus, even if you own the titles on disc. You never know if a bad scratch could leave your media inoperable.
PlayStation Plus continues to be a great value. If you own a Sony game device, there is no reason not to spend the $50 per year on the service.
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.
