PlayStation Plus: February’s Free Games

PlayStation Plus free games for the month of February 2015 has been announced

[Playdor]

Now I have an excuse to try out Transistor.

[JackVagina]

Herd great things about it and its been nominated for GOTY awards.

[vishmarx]

goddamn i just bought transistor last month
and rogue legacy a while before that.
both excellent games though

[Bennibop]

@vishmarx even more gutted I bought Transistor last weekend with my 10% code!!! Great game though.

[Gamer1982]

DAMN I'm sorry but games with gold got Sniper Elite V2 and Brothers? Thats a massive difference in quality.. Brothers is a great game dont get me wrong but PS got 2 amazing games in transistor and rogue legacy which are both as great as brothers and then some more on top not to mention ps4 games.. 3 PS4, 3 ps3 and 2 vita games vs 2 xbox 360 games.. MS gamers need to keep complaining to MS or at least speak with there wallets and show they want this kind of content.

[Kidmyst]

@gamer1982 PSPlus had Brothers a Year ago. I downloaded but have yet to play it.

[Volkama]

Bought it around November and haven't even launched it yet. Same thing with Infamous First Light, and D4 on the Xbox.

There is probably a lesson to be learned, but I'll probably find I own March's free games as well.

[northpaws]

@vishmarx

No need to "goddamn", thanks for supporting game developers, gamers who buy games help keeps the industry alive.

[Moe-Gunz]

Transistor is an amazing game. I had to get the Plat for it. Love the combat system.

[VforVideogames]

And this is why i don't buy indies anymore.

[harrisk954]

@Gamer1982

PS4 got Brothers a long time ago with PS+ ... A lot of the games that XB is geeting with GWG now were already given away on PS+ in the past.

Transistor is fantastic and if you haven't played it you are missing out.

And Apotheon looks stellar.

[medman]

Yeah, I just bought Transistor in Dec., but I picked it up when it fell to nine dollars so I'm not offended. I'm glad more gamers will get to play it, it's pretty darn awesome.

[Why o why]

Platinum'd Transistor too

really good game

once I found my loadout the game wasnt as tough as it was beforehand. Great audio and visuals.

[guitarded77]

It's the only game calling me this month (I already have Yakuza 4). The rest are not doing anything for me. The past couple of months have been kinda "meh" too. But it's cool, Dragon Age Inquisition has been keeping me bust as of late. That game s is badass, glitches and all. But what would a Bioware game be without glitches?

[miyamoto]

I heart PS Plus

Happy Love Month Gaming PlayStation Nation!

Domination!

I am gonna have me some fun!

The Transistor will return after these messages.

At least those who bought these games get to own them even without PS+.
Win Win situation.

Here are the games I will not get from PS + but will get Day One Digital.

Uncharted 4
Bloodborne
The Order 1886
Toukiden Kiwami
Godzilla
J Stars Victory VS Plus
Persona 5
Tearaway Unfolded
Batman Arkham Knight
Fat Princess Adventures
MGS V
Mighty No 9
Project Phoenix
Asterbeed
Target Earth
Until Dawn

[Joda]

outlast and strider are the only indies that didn't piss me off. plus needs to step it up. $50 a year for broken online, voice chat, messages, and a bunch of chincy atari-like indies is not a good value in my opinion.

[bouzebbal]

Transistor is amazing.
I'm looking forward to finally play my first Yakuza.

[sobotz]

That moment when you already bought it before and havent even launch it up yet.

[Anon1974]

I almost bought Transistor last week but hesitated as I have a few games left to finish. Looking forward to trying this out!

[joab777]

Yep. I debated b/w that and Grim and bought Grim on Tuesday. Great choice. Wow. I literally almost wasted money. And I've wanted to play this game for so long.

Thief should be coming to PS4 soon. Not great, bit definitely worth a free try.

[uth11]

I'd rather take the awesome indie games in Transistor and Rogue Legacy over the lackluster AAA game, Thief.

Had Thief, played it once. Traded it in.

[TheTwelve]

AMAZING game, AMAZING soundtrack

[OUROSMAG]

Such a good game.

[callahan09]

Awesome! Been waiting on Transistor, wanted to play it a lot, but was hoping it would come to PS+ some day. Great timing! Also, Rogue Legacy! Nice! Not sure what Apotheon is, but I'll gladly give it a play at the price of free :)

[ShutUpDonny]

Watch out for Rogue Legacy. It's crack.

[ZeroX9876]

Rogue legacy is freaking awesome! one of the best indie I played in the last five years. I love pretty much every 2D platformer, but the difficulty in this one is exactly what I was searching for.

Happy to see more gamers will be able to play this great game via PS plus.

Now, about that driveclub PS+ edition, was there any update since it was delayed? bought the full game, but some of my friends were waiting to try it on PS plus first.

[xfiles2099]

Another great Month I almost bpught Transistor this past weekend glad I didn't

[RosweeSon]

Knew there was a reason why I'd persuaded myself not to try it... This exact scenario.. Free copy whoop whoop.

[S2Killinit]

its good, but you need to play it a bit to get the hang of it, otherwise you could loose interest before it gets good.

[Why o why]

Definitely. Solid solid title

[mechlord]

it happened to me. first playthru was ok, nice story, great mood, the little touches...gorgeous soundtrack, but didnt fully understand the function loadouts and other aspects of the battle system.
Second playthrough, boom! platinum :) btw, this is one of the easy kinda platinum

[GordonKnight]

Transistor

[christian hour]

One of my personal GOTY's, wonderful narration unrivaled by most big AAA games this year, and that soundtrack. Delicious

[levian]

Isn't this it's second or third time being a PS+ game for PS4?

[-EvoAnubis-]

It's never been on PS+ before.

[XanderZane]

Very glad I didn't buy Transistor or Rogue Legacy. Apotheon and Yakuza 4 looks good as well. Going to be busy in the month of Feb. Fun times ahead.

[MNGamer-N]

Transistor is EXCELLENT of of my favorite games of last year

[aceitman]

Ok , I thinks it's time people stop complaining about the games they get from ps plus for 50$ a year Sony gave out 1,500$ worth of games just because it's not ur type of game it doesn't mean it isn't someone elses. Sony could have just charged 50$ a year to play online and give nothing like xbox live did , but they didn't . People said at the beginning that ps plus won't work for Sony , but they where wrong and even got ms to do a similar thing. I now it is a perk and I'm thankful for it. And hope nothing like people complaining about the games ruin it. They should stop being ungrateful and appreciate the free games. Yes I said it free. Ur 50$ is used for online play or for the 50$ worth of games then the 1,450$ of games. Ur taste or not.

[globeofgamers]

It's a great game, especially since it's free :)

[Qrphe]

Can't wait for Apotheon, one of the best indie titles at PSX.

[joab777]

I'll have to try it now. I'm on a catch up kick. Playing Grim now, kinda catch up in a way.

[wynams]

Transistor is a great game and an easy platinum.

Not sure what makes me more salty ...

no Driveclub PS + edition update
or
saying it is "still in the works, please be patient"

[mezati99]

Just buy the game like i did. Worth every penny

[kayoss]

Totally agree. I've been playing Driveclub and Destiny since it came out. Driveclub I bought for 39.99 and its worth every penny so far. If you wait for the PS+ edition, you will missing out a lot when you decide to buy it.

[spacedelete]

don't listen to the fools telling you to waste your money. instead of the "PlayStation Plus" version they will just give everyone the full game instead as a apology.

as for this weeks line up it seems okay at best. a few interesting games like Transistor but Thief on PS3 instead of PS4 is just trolling PS4 owners the same way they trolled PS4 owners after buying Tomb Raider then one month later give it free on PS3.

you can tell Vita is dead when it just gets cross buy games and trash i wouldn't even play on my phone.

i said it before February was going to decide what we were going to get the whole year and looks like slowly they are going to cancel the IGC.

[northpaws]

@spacedelete

Please delete yourself.

[Ron_Danger]

@spacedelete

If you are going to post a rant, make sure it's founded in fact, unlike the opinion/ theory filled garbage you posted.

Maybe that's why you have one bubble. You must think opinion and fact are interchangeable.

[ipach]

yeah, it is surprisingly hard to find it for the cheap at retail (even used) - so I jumped at it with my 10% weekend PSN coupon and have to say it is a very solid racer. it is not quite perfect in terms of nailing that 'soul' of a road racer game, but it is very very close. very much nails the arcade/sim mix that I personally enjoy. lack of tuning might seem like a turnoff, but frankly I'd rather spend my time driving and this wastes very little of your time. the challenges are sometimes pretty tough, but never cheap or hair pull worthy at all. and man, the night and/or bad weather driving is absolutely bonkers.

[BLow]

Ok we get it. People want Driveclub free edition. But if you really want to try out the game you have 2 OTHER OPTIONS. OPTION 1: Shareplay with someone who has the game. OPTION 2: Rent the game. At most you are going to be out of what like 4 bucks. The game has been out for months now and if being out $4 since it came out in October is a problem, then you sir, have the wrong hobby.

Don't get me wrong that this was a complete mess up on Evolution's part but if you really want to try the game then just rent it. It will cost you less than combo meal at a fast food joint. Happy gaming...

[G20WLY]

If you're still somehow unsure SharePlay the complete game for as long as you like, for free - and then buy it! ;^)

[xfiles2099]

Yeah I bought Driveclub from Amazon during there Christmas sales best purchase I have made for my PS4. That game is so much fun I have played that game more than any other game I own. I have not had this much fun with a racing game since Ridge Racer on the PS1. Do yourself a favor and buy it you will not regret it.

[Spotie]

It's SO easy to get your hands on the game for cheap or nothing. There's renting it, SharePlaying it, buying a used copy, Redbox... Continually bitching about it isn't even funny anymore... well, it never was.

[lelo2play]

Dam... I was expecting Thief for PS4. What about Driveclub? Already played Transistor.

Not a good PS+ month for me.

[BattleTorn]

Isn't it weird that I might get to playing the free PS3 Thief over the PS4 copy I already own?.....

[TFJWM]

Umm that makes 0 sense

[OrangePowerz]

Nice Yakuza 4.

[Deadpool616]

Yakuza 4 surprised me when I saw it on the list. Now more people will see how awesome this series is.

[Christopher]

Nice selection. I liked Rogue LEgacy, but didn't want to pay full price for it again to play it on mobile. And, Apotheon? Great. Too bad I already bought Transistor.

[Phar0ahad3]

OMG this month is perfect for me ESPECIALLY TRANSISTOR AND ROUGUE LEFACY AND YAKUZA EVEN THOU I ALLREADY OWN IT BUT NOT DIGITAL FAWK YESSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dramacydal]

Killer. Between Games for Gold and PS+, I don't see how why anyone would argue "X is better than Y'.

[G20WLY]

Actually, Y is better than X, but that's just my opinion. ;^P

[Swiggins]

Please...we all know Z is the real superior one here.

Z Master Race.

[Jaqen_Hghar]

For Pokemon I think X is better for blue Charizard rather than Bat Mega Charizard

[uth11]

X is better, because you can always break off one of the lines and make it a Y! ;)

[PhucSeeker]

Why wouldn't they? Both services offer games. And people will always compare the games offered on both sides (based on their taste in games, apparently). They will then prefer one over another and afterward they might recommend it to others.

On topic, this month picks are great, though i lost my Vita, again, i like the ps3's offers as it's the only PS hardware i have now.

[Dramacydal]

Why? Because they can only afford one.

[Genuine-User]

That's one good list.

[StormLegend]

Dang Theif should have been for PS4. But i'll gladly take TRANSISTOR

[mezati99]

this month is hilariously good for me as i didn't play any of these games lol

[zeroskie]

Holy shit i was about to buy 3 of these games. THANKS PS PLUS.

[MasterCornholio]

Oh cool I always wanted to try transistor out.

[SmokingMonkey]

I was ssooooo close to buying it straight up!

PS+ really makes me ponder my PSN purchases.

[MoonConquistador]

You're not the only one Monkey, the quality of games and efforts by Sony on delivering value through PS+ must have a detrimental effect on game sales

[Silly gameAr]

Well, if you really want a game, you would buy it and not wait and hope for it to show up on PSPlus, or I guess that's how most people would see it. Me personally, I don't like to play the waiting game.

[Fishermenofwar]

Yakuza 4 and Theif...winning...

[FullmetalRoyale]

I am going to dust off my old PS3, and finally try Yakuza.

What do fans of the series think this means for the series? Seems indicative of more localization, perhaps. Hopefully so, and hopefully I enjoy it myself.

Wasn't too keen on Transistor, but that is not to knock the quality, it just isn't for me.

I enjoyed Thief, more or less, on PS4.

This is a great month for people to venture outside of their comfort zone.

Come on Yakuza!

[caseh]

Yakuza 4 was localised a while back, recent announcement for Y5 so we should get that in about 6-9 months I think. Y0 on PS4 hasn't been confirmed but to date every Yakuza title (excluding ishin) has eventually been localised.

[Summons75]

Yakuza is awesome. Gave my copy to a friend a few years ago but after Y5 was announced to be (finally) localized I wanted to play 3 & 4 again. Now I have the chance. Great games, fun gameplay. I'll finally get to try transistor, it sounds interesting but the gameplay doesn't look good but I'll try it out. Was pleasantly surprised by Swapper this month so it's all good and I bought Thief on my Ps4. Was really hoping for Killzone to be on PS+.

[Inception]

"What do fans of the series think this means for the series? Seems indicative of more localization, perhaps. Hopefully so, and hopefully I enjoy it myself"

I think this PS+ will add more interest to the series. Hopefully it will give a nice boost for Yakuza 5 sales.

[DualWielding]

I'll try yakuza

[Skate-AK]

Have had Transistor for a couple months now but haven't started it due to a huge backlog. Apotheon looks very interesting. Yakuza 4 is cool. Only have played Yakuza: Dead Souls. Thief is meh. I have it on PS4 and wouldn't recommend it. Have been wanting to play Rouge Legacy and it's even better you get all three version for free.

[Thehyph]

Rogue Legacy is dope, man. It starts frustrating for a lot of people, but when you die, and you get to use your collected gold, you immediately see the appeal in starting another run.

I was addicted.

[pecorre]

Nice list.

I wonder why people are still wainting for the Driveclub demo. Just buy the game already. It's the best racing game I played in a very long time. I recommended it to all my friends, and those who bought it are very glad.

[OldDude]

Maybe because it was promised to them? Sony offered it up at one time as further incentive to purchase PS+. They aren't asking for anything they weren't promised.

[Silly gameAr]

So even if they don't really want it, they should get it because it was "promised" to them? That's what it sounds like you're saying here and if it is, then imo is garbage logic.

[pecorre]

Trust me, they are waiting for nothing. If the PS+ edition is really one region, 11 cars and no events, it's worthless. They'll download a huge file just to be bored with the game after an hour.

[telekineticmantis]

Kick and Fennick looks good, wasnt aware of that game... HEY SONY!!! GET "EDEN STAR" IF YOU CAN, IT LAUNCHES ON STEAM TOMORROW, LOOKS AWESOME, 2ND BENIFIT, IT WOULD BE A GREAT MORPHEUS TYPE GAME!

[remanutd55]

Yes, i've been highly anticipating Kick&Fennick I dont understand why is coming to playstation plus though. It looks like a pretty solid game to me, do you think it ccould've been the developer decision or sony's?

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Great lineup for PS Plus in February..top to bottom its solid.

[brew]

Wow , what a month.

I'm going to try all the games except for the last one (I don't have a Vita).

[Eidolon]

I'll play all these games... this is a pretty awesome lineup if Apotheon and Kick and Fennick turn out to be good. :)

[error13]

But I want thief on PS4 :'(

[Eidolon]

Me too :(

[ShutUpDonny]

It's not very good anyway. I'm sure that Transistor and Apotheon are more fun to play.

[HeavenlySnipes]

This is the first time in the 1 and a half years of PS+ that they gave a game I already had (Transistor) lol

Can't wait to play Rogue Legacy on my Vita though

Edit: Just seen a trailer for Kick and Fennick. Game looks cool as hell

[Thehyph]

I mapped the attack button to 'R' on Vita because I found using two face buttons for jump+attack wasn't as efficient for my hands. On PS4 though, the defaults are gravy.

I'm speaking of Rogue Legacy.

[HeavenlySnipes]

I'll keep this in mind

Thanks

[46889337]

Weird that Thief is on PS3 instead of PS4. People say the reason PS4 isn't getting AAA games is because they are too new. But this pretty much disproves that theory.

[Zizi]

I expected Murdered or at least Tomb Raider: DE, but What I got is indie games again. :'(

[Clown_Syndr0me]

To the disagrees - you're saying he didn't expect this?

Im fed up with crap indies too, I've tried all them so far. Dead Nation was fantastic as was Outlast - the rest are really not for me.
Oh well, I don't have PS Plus for the games. I have it because I'm forced to if I want to play games online. Not complaining though as I don't really care.

[SilentNegotiator]

"Not complaining though as I don't really care"

Right. Not complaining is TOTALLY what you're doing.

[Clown_Syndr0me]

I said two games were awesome, hardly complaining. They could stop giving us free games tomorrow and I wouldn't care at all.

[Zizi]

I've just completed 'The Swapper.' It's fine. The art direction is more awesome than the gameplay.

However, its near-the-end puzzles could "damage" brain -- a video guide would help a lot. Haha. :D

[F0XHOUND]

Yakuza 4!!! Awesome, such a fantastic series and a great reason to dust off the old PlayStation 3 again! Can't wait.

Ps4, nothing headline worthy... in terms of big names. But Transistor looks really cool. Overall, a good month.

Oh, unlike xbox, PS plus received brothers like a year ago btw... so comments saying that this month sucks... it doesn't! Overall, a good month for both sides of gaming, Xbox/PlayStation!

[Der_Kommandant]

Damn!!!!! I just bought Yakuza 4 two weeks ago, btw i loved it.

Please do yourself a favor and play transistor.

[ipach]

i'm just happy for the world that transistor is going to be available to them. that game and its 'lore' were among my favorites of the past few years. and it got damn hard at times as well (until i kinda got too good and almost could cheese everyone - but that's trial and error for you). love the risk reward it has in terms of taking away your equipped powers if you die. definitely had my share of bare bones scrambles to get past certain points. and of course, the soundtrack. a great month in my opinion.

[theFAYEsorceress]

i was gonna buy transistor and yakuza a lil while back, so i'm super excited for next month!

[purebennyc]

Another good month for PS Plus, just a bit of a shame that Thief wasn't included free on PS4 as well

[jmac53]

Wouldn't you know I just bought Rogue's Legacy a couple days ago. At least I am supporting the developer.

[yewles1]

Believe it or not, I actually DON'T feel disappointed in Yakuza 4 coming to PS+ two months after I bought it on PSN. I did my part to support future releases of this great franchise, and I'm glad more people will finally get the chance to try it out. I feel really really good inside.

[ps5fanboy]

A reason why I seldom buy games, is because I have psn+.

[uth11]

And I just bought Transistor this past week :(

Oh well, good news for those who didn't!

[theshredded]

Yakuza 4!

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

Vita list is a disaster

[blakstarz]

I'm sorry but this is why PS+ is leaps and bounds better than Games with Gold.

Their offerings are just better point blank, also Sony has been on fire (no pun intended) with their onslaught of "fire sales"), Thief for PS3 for FREE and Yakuza 4?!? Plus Transistor for PS4 is a pretty good game, don't past it up!

February's Games with Gold line-up is just mediocre.

[Smitty2020]

Not my sort of games personally but might be good too others

[Morgue]

Brothers is killer and I was little bummed out when it ended.

[Gore-Content]

Apotheon and Rogue Legacy for me.

[LightDiego]

Great games! And some people still complains, i will play Yakuza 4, Apotheon, maybe Thief.
Transistor it's great, i've bought it on the release date.

[nowitzki2004]

If you never played Yakuza 4 and own a PS3 get on it as soon as it goes up. Great game.

[MidnightMay0r]

What a great lineup this month. Best selection of free games since the introduction of PlayStation plus or games with gold. PS4 owners are bugging right now.....or should be.

[animegamingnerd]

i now a lot people are excited that Transistor is on Playstation Plus but for me its Yakuza 4 cause even though i already got the game it does give the series the series more exposure and hopefully gives Yakuza 5 the push it needs to do well here so it won't be the last in the series released in the west.

[Hereiamhereibe2]

Rogue legacy is the only game worth downloading on this list. Thief wouldve been okay if it were the PS4 version but there are a million better PS3 games they couldve done.

[AutoCad]

hmm,decent line up i guess if you like indies and stuff..
MS and Sony need to step up

[Lastlivingsoul]

Couldn't be happier with this. Not to mention, BF4 Premium Pass just went on a huge sale right before I was about to drop $50 on it. I hoping to see Shovel Knight and Killzone on here soon. Back to pressing "survivor sense" every time I want to jump on Dying Light. GREAT game so far, but why can't I map jump to "x"!?

[captainexplosion]

All 4 PS4 and Vita games interest me. Really psyched for Rogue Legacy. Never heard of Kick & Fennick before but it looks cool. I LOVE platformers on Vita. I wish Transistor was on Vita.

[majedx9]

Transistor is so good.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[GokuSolosAll]

F***, I knew I shouldn't have bought Rogue's Legacy at $15. My purchase of Thief at $5 is much less painful. I was getting reckless with my buys, it's easy to predict what comes to Plus, which is why I never bought Transistor.

[HentaiMasterRace]

Yes!

[KontryBoy706]

Oh Driveclub Driveclub where art thou?

[blakstarz]

Just buy the full game....its more than worth at this point.

[Father__Merrin]

Playstation is just superb, I was going to buy transistor on steam. now thanks to psn+ I've saved some money. excellent

[jznrpg]

I almost bought Transistor and Yakuza 4 , but i was busy playing other games. Already have Rogue Legacy and Thief for ps4 , but to me this is a great month.

[Neo_Zeed]

I'm happy that Yakuza 4 is on the list. Hopefully more people give the series a shot now.

[SuperbVillain]

would have been dope if yakuza was also available on ps4 . I always have been interested in the game just never got around to playing it

[mochachino]

Wow, so my PSN is on its way to pay for itself with games that I was very interested in under three months.

Great job Sony, particularly so with Transistor.

Plus is amazing, so happy I bought it.

[StormLegend]

I freaking love PS+

[mysteryraz11]

thief should have been on ps4

[masterfox]

Great games!!!!!!!!!! downloading everything!

PS+ FTW!!!!!!!!!

[DivineAssault]

ehhhh... This months selection was better to me

[WitWolfy]

Still waiting on that MGS Ground Zero demo to be free on PSN... Maybe next month...

[hammix]

all are awesome games

[Orionsangel]

I wish I didn't already own Transistor on Steam. Aw well.

[Maxor]

Apatheon looks very interesting. Though I'm so tired of indies, mostly because they're all the same 2D and side scrolling.

[Ninjatogo]

Never heard of Apotheon before, but just checked the trailer and it looks pretty good. Wish Thief was PS4 this month though.
