PlayStation Plus Free Games January 2020

Editorial Team

Happy New Year!

Due to the holidays, Sony was a bit late announcing their next line-up of free games for PlayStation Plus members. However, the it was worth the wait – especially for trophy hunters! Here is the next line-up of PlayStation Plus free games January 2020 which will be available for download on January 7.

First, there’s Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, which is actually three games in one. This includes Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune Remastered, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Remastered, and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Remastered. All three were originally released on the PS3, then revamped for the PS4 in 2015. The games are third-person action adventures, where you’ll be jumping and climbing your way to treasure, while battling pirates, war criminals, and even a few monsters.

The other game is Goat Simulator, a wacky adventure set in an open world, where players control a goat performing as much damage as possible by running, jumping, and striking objects.

All three Uncharted games, as well as Goat Simulator, have Platinum trophies to unlock. This means four Platinums this month!

Goat Simulator is the easiest and quickest Platinum. Most of the trophies are quite easy, with the exception of a few frustrating ones. Though you can expect to have the Platinum in around 5 hours.

All three Uncharted games are of average difficulty. At least one playthrough on Crushing mode, which is the hardest difficulty, is required. Plus there are a number of collectibles to find, and kill-related trophies to earn. Expect around 15 hours for each game’s Platinum, depending on skills.

PlayStation Plus Free Games December 2019

Editorial Team

It’s getting colder out there – and freezing, for some of us. A good time to stay indoors as much as possible, and play some games. And with that, here is the next line-up of PlayStation Plus free games December 2019 ready for download on the following Tuesday, December 3.

First, there’s Titanfall 2, the sequel to the 2014 Xbox exclusive Titanfall. A first-person shooter where players control giant mecha-style exoskeletons known as Titans, as well as their pilots, in an attempt to stop the Intersteller Manufacturing Corporation from setting off their superweapon.

And Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame, a motorcycle racing game which includes athletes, bikes, and tracks from the 250Sx and 450Sx classes. Players can customize both their bikes and riders, as well as create and share tracks with the game’s track editor.

Both Titanfall 2 and Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame have Platinum trophies to unlock.

The majority of the trophies on Titanfall 2 are fairly average and straight-forward, including the online trophies. However, the Becomes The Master trophy requires players to reach the Top 3 on the Gauntlet scoreboard, which is very difficult to do.

The Platinum for Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame, however, is not particularly difficult as the game can be played on Easy mode. The online trophies only involve creating, publishing, and playing races using the track editor. Expect only 12-15 hours for this Platinum.

PlayStation Plus Free Games November 2019

Editorial Team

Happy Halloween, everyone! And what better way to celebrate the festivities with a couple creepy games. And so, here is the line-up of PlayStation Plus Free Games November 2019 available for download on Tuesday, November 5.

First, there’s Nioh, the action title with RPG elements released two years ago. A mixture of historical context and dark fantasy, the game takes place during feudal Japan when Tokugawa Ieyasu attempts to unify the country. William Adams, a real-life English sailor who became one of the first Western samurai, is put on a special mission by Tokugawa to deal with the supernatural creatures known as Yokai that have been appearing.

Also, there’s Outlast 2, a first-person psychological horror survival game, released two years ago, and the direct sequel to the 2013 Outlast. Following a helicopter crash, journalist Blake Langermann is on a quest to find his missing wife. He encounters a village in the Arizona desert populated by a strange sect that believes the end of the world is soon at hand.

Both Nioh and Outlast 2 have Platinum trophies to unlock.

The Platinum for Nioh is of average difficulty and has no online trophies to worry about. However expect to put in about 70-80 hours of your time, as there’s a lot to do.

Obtaining the Platinum for Outlast 2 theoretically does not require much time, but can be quite difficult. Not only will you need to complete the game on Insane mode, but doing so without reloading the batteries in the camera and without dying, which can be very difficult for some trophy hunters.

PlayStation Plus Free Games October 2019

Editorial Team

Following the electric excitement of the Tokyo Game Show, we’re ready to buckle down and start playing some games – particularly some free ones. Luckily, Sony has just released their line-up for the PlayStation Plus Free Games October 2019 which are available for download on Tuesday, October 1.

First, there’s The Last of Us Remastered, which includes both the original The Last of Us first released on the PS3, and its DLC add-on The Last of Us: Left Behind. This is a survival-horror with stealth elements taking place twenty years following a pandemic which turned the infected into strange, zombie-like creatures.

Next, there’s MLB The Show 19, the next installment in the baseball MLB The Show franchise where you can create your own player and rise through the MLB ranks, or recreate famous showdowns in baseball history. Also, PlayStation Plus members who log into the game in October will receive free in-game content, which include equipment for your created player, and some other cool trinkets.

Both The Last of Us Remastered and MLB The Show 19 have Platinum trophies to unlock.

Obtaining the Platinum on The Last of Us Remastered is more time consuming than difficult, though will still require some skills. A minimum of two playthroughs is needed, as well as time finding all those collectibles. The online trophies, without boosting, will also require just as much time.

The Platinum for MLB The Show 19 is quite difficult, even for those with experience with this baseball series. This is mainly due to the Welcome To The Chip trophy, which requires reaching the Championship Series Division in Ranked Seasons. In other words, being in the top 5% among other online players at least once in a given month.

Editorial Team

It’s typhoon season here in Japan, which gives more of an excuse to stay indoors and play some games – and even better when they’re free! So without further ado, here is the next line-up of PlayStation Plus Free Games September 2019 available for download on Tuesday, September 2.

First, there’s Batman: Arkham Knight, the 2015 action adventure by Rocksteady Studios based on the titular DC Comics superhero, and the fourth title in the Batman: Arkham series. Batman is on a mission to stop Scarecrow from releasing a deadly toxin on Gotham City. A mission that will force him to confront his own nightmares.

The other freebie is Darksiders III, the hack and slash action game by Gunfire Games released just last year, and the third title in the Darksiders series. Venture through a dark fantasy world as Fury, one of the Four Horsemen, who is on a quest to hunt down the Seven Deadly Sins.

Both Batman: Arkham Knight and Darksiders III have Platinum trophies to unlock.

The Platinum for Batman: Arkham Knight is fairly average in terms of difficulty, though a little time consuming as it requires two full playthroughs – one on Knightmare difficulty.

Darksiders III’s Platinum is far less time consuming though still average in terms of difficulty, and is possible to be unlocked in one playthrough, though two is recommended.
