This is the time to stay home and catch up on your favorite shows or dive into a new game—it’s actually the responsible thing to do. To encourage gamers to do what they do best now, Sony has launched a ‘Play At Home’ project to help them pass time during self-isolation.
The campaign arrives with two initiatives. Firstly, Sony is starting a US$10 million fund for smaller independent game developers and studios whose finances have been hit as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The company will release more details about this subsidy soon.
For players, Sony is releasing two PlayStation 4 games for free, namely Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Journey. The titles will be free for PS4 users in most regions, no matter if they own a PlayStation Plus membership, between 15 April at 8pm PDT and 5 May 2020 8pm PDT.
The popular Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection by Naughty Dog actually contains three games, including Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception.
Journey by Thatgamecompany is a “beautiful, celebrated adventure” with an element of mystery. “The game’s life-affirming message is timeless, and perhaps more important now than ever before,” PlayStation describes in its blog.
PS4 gamers in Germany and China will have access to a different bundle, which comprises Knack 2 and Journey.
It remains to be known if Sony will release more games for free after 5 May. The company, however, asks for the understanding of US and European players during this time, as game downloads might be slower to “preserve access for everyone.”
More details can be found in the card below.
