PlayStation Plus to Offer Free PS3 and PS Vita Games Every Monday in December
Subscribers to PlayStation Plus will have new Instant Game Collections available to them this month when Sony adds a number of PS3 and PS Vita titles.
Games that will be added right away are Borderlands 2, Dyad, and Grid 2. For the Vita, Urban Trial Freestyle, and Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed will come next. These titles are all for free download throughout the month.
"You can hop into Borderlands 2 for free later this month on PS3, and this game absolutely shines with co-op, so be sure to bring some buddies along with you while you blast away all the skags on Pandora. You can build out your vault hunter how you like – focus on damage or get some support skills to aid yourself & your friends," the PlayStation blog post said. "Finally, Vita owners can scrape their knees up a bit with Urban Trial Freestyle. Successfully complete the tricks, customize your bike and then challenge your friends with the asynchronous Ghost mode."
The Instant Game Collection will make a new game available every Monday, according to the blog.
PlayStation Plus is a requirement to play many of the PS4's titles online and Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Walmart, and Toys R Us offered it for $29.99 yesterday for Black Friday. It is regularly $49.99 annually.
Another promotion Sony has going is three PSOne games are being given away for free on PlayStation Home in the area called the PlayStation 4 Experience.
The three classic games available are Twisted Metal, Warhawk, and Destruction Derby. The promotion is on the PS3, and requires a virtual tour of the PS4 to gain access to the games.
Once accessed, gamers will interact with an oversized PS Vita and go on a "Quest for Greatness," scavenger hunt where 13 special cards are hidden in various virtual objects.
The whole process takes about 10 minutes or so as the hunt requires simple puzzle solving and movie references. During the game, PS4 title trailers for Knack, Killzone: Shadow Fall, and DriveClub are played.
The PS4 was released on November 15, and retails for $399.99.
