Announced on PlayStation.blog on Thursday, May 29, PlayStation Plus subscribers on PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4 will now receive six PlayStation titles a month across the three platforms. Starting in June, subscribers will be able to choose from two titles per platform every month.
“ PlayStation Plus has been an essential part of PlayStation 4, ” Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s PlayStation Plus / PlayStation Store and content manager Chris Howe stated in the announcement, “ providing access to next-gen online multiplayer and a steady stream of great games including Resogun , Outlast and Don’t Starve .
Since we are always looking to continue the evolution of PS Plus as a service that really serves our community, ” Howe continued, “ we are excited to provide a more balanced set of games each month within the Instant Game Collection. As you’ll see below, starting in June, members will now have access to two titles per month for each of our platforms. ”
In addition to this announcement, some changes will be made to the way the titles on the Instant Game Collection are rotated–specifically how long they become available for. Starting in July, every game in the Instant Game Collection will be refreshed on the first Wednesday of every month. Games within that rotation will remain free until the first Wednesday in the following month. Rinse, and repeat.
Additionally, in the coming weeks, several of the titles that have remained on the Instant Game Collection for a long time will be phased out in favor of allowing other games to have their turn in the Collection.
Below is the list of games that’ll be made available in the Instant Game Collection for the first Wednesday of June–June 4.
