Sony has revealed a "sneak peek" at games that will be available on the PlayStation 4 as part of its Instant Game Collection available to PS Plus subscribers.

Posted on the PlayStation blog, the announcement opens with acknowledgement of the delay of Driveclub PS Plus Edition, which had its launch put on hold indefinitely due to widespread server woes.

Following this, the post revealed that fighting game Injustice: God Among Us Ultimate Edition, as well as top-down shooter Secret Ponchos will be available as part of the PS4's instant game collection list next month. In January, The Swapper and PS4-exclusive Infamous: First Light will be added to the PS4's instant game collection list. No further mentions of a release window for Driveclub PS Plus Edition were made.

Last week, Sony revealed that its PlayStation Plus service had hit 7.9 million subscribers, with around half of PS4 owners signing up for the paid service. The IGC titles for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita that will appear in the coming months have not yet been revealed.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I want the Share Play. That way, I can 'couch' play with my friends that now live over the other side of the country. For your information, what YOU want doesn't mean everyone one else want's too.

Stop being an apologist for greedy millionaires who don't give a shyte about you.

You should stop harassing people and start thinking with an open mind, other then a 'I have PS'.

I kinda feel like they aren't putting out that great of games because they want to resell them on Playstation Now, smh. -__-

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> Sony is only giving away games to compete with Xbone, if they don't then ppl will go with MS's console. Sony should "bite the bullet" and give away the best they possibly can and it will annihilate Xbone.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Agreed. I was done with Infamous and while I liked it enough to play through twice, just didn't feel like paying for the dlc. Now for free is a real great gift from Sony to its loyal fanbase.

This is just bait, to try to get you to think the PS Plus service is better than what it is and try to drive people away from buying an Xbox One (also the reason they didn't bother mentioning the PS3 free games). They'll go back to the regular ho-hum offering of PS Plus games once Feb rolls around.

They did this previously, in the months prior to the PS4's launch. They offered numerous, recent AAA games on PS Plus for months, then did away with that and went to the mediocre offering they have now. They baited us with a bunch of AAA games at a key time (before a new console launch) then later switched us to crappy games. That is bait and switch, and that's what they're doing here too, but to a lesser degree than before.

Some people below thought Microsoft having a sale on Xbox One is also a bait and switch, which is sheer ignorance. You don't buy the console over and over, but you pay for monthly PS Plus services over and over.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I think they cut back on free games cause they want to resell them on playstation Now, which by the way needs to get its prices right. There are games for 30 rentals that cost more than actually buying the game. I know it going to take time, but that is just blatant, fix it Sony.

@spacecadet25 You wouldn't make 2 cents in the gaming industry giving away all the great games for free. You have no idea how these companies need to operate. It's a marketing game between the 3 console companies. Sony fans should be happy to get a AAA game for free every now and then. Gold gets games from 3 years ago and Nintendo offers no games for free. By your, "This is just bait " logic... a store like Target has a B2G1F gaming sale just to bait you into coming to the store for that week.

Why don't they have this B2G1F deal EVERY WEEK ? Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah !!

What AAA titles are you talking about? And you realize you have to pay for xbox live and you get maybe 1 free crappy game a month and its $10 more a year. You are an angry fanboy.

<< LINK REMOVED >> PS3 had a great go with free PSN+ games, but console is declining in sales, naturally, and many great games are already in budget bins... so the impact of free PS3 games is much lower than PS4. Sony's focus is shifting towards PS4, however, in order to give good AAA games for PS4, you must first accumulate them... and that takes some time.

Re Sony being scared of XBO... heh. If they are smart, they will keep an eye on what are both MS and Nintendo doing, but as the things are, they can be as relaxed as it is possible in such dynamic industry. I remember that it took Xbox 360 more than 2 years - 2.5, actually - to reach 10 million sold (or was it shipped?) consoles. PS4 will have 14 million after 1st year, with good chance to explode much further during holidays season, and with price drop (which, historically, must happen sooner than later).

For me PSN+ service is great. It costs around NZ$90 for 1 year. New AAA games are between NZ$100 and 120 here. A year old AAA games will linger around $50 on average, some less, some much more. All I need is 2 good AAA games a year across my PS3 and PS4 to fully pay for my PSN+ subscription, and I'm getting much more than that. Plus, I do play Indies as well. $10 here, $20 there... for NZ$7.5 a month. A single fast food meal will cost me more than that.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Right, I've been contemplating jumping ship. I know I can't complain about free games but on the other hand I didn't buy a ps4 to play indie games ,(not that there's anything wrong with them) but you have to have balance.

Well if you want to play Sunset overdrive and worse resolution multiplats over the next 6 months, go for it. While the rest of us will be playing Bloodborne, The Order, Planetside2, and LBP3 while you regret your decision.

Injustice got decent reviews so not bad, Secret Ponchos looks pretty decent and a bit different...same with The Swapper. I nearly paid for First Light, glad I didn't!

Good selection I say, A+ :)
