Unless things have changed expect some complaining soon, since PSN doesn't allow you to redeem full licenses if you already have a Plus version. That means Plus users won't be able to claim the games because they'll already have the Plus license on the accoubt.

Only $10M? Many indie games aren't releasing on PS4 anymore, only pc and switch eventually get them, that's why I'm moving to PC next gen.

You say that as if $10,000,000.00 is not a lot of money. I mean, what have you done for others in this crisis??? Your take is pretty stupid.

And most of the indies are still releasing on PS4.

People here aren't talking about the important thing: the fund for indies.
Playstation is doing great with reacting to covid19 and help people around the world.

Pretty neat initiative. I have both games so I won't be taking part, but it would be aces if they add to this and expand the program while this lockdown is happening.

Edit - oh, they're free to keep. Even better, although I don't expect any additional games to be added in that case.

Funny thing: if you paid for Plus and got those games for 'free' you want be able to keep the. So Plus users will get screwed another time.

Definitely curious to see what the initiative has in store for indie developers (and who qualifies).

For those who will experience Knack 2 for the first time, you will definitely want to play with someone else. Be it local or using share play.

The game is WAAAAY better with someone else.

Excellent games! I've greatly enjoyed them on PS3, but never actually tried the PS4 versions.

It's kind of nice that a new set of people will get to discover and play Journey. Has it been on PSN Plus before?

A quick Web search shows that it was offered on PS Plus in September 2016.

It's also worth mentioning that if you ever purchased the PS3 version of Journey, then you also own the PS4 version as a cross-buy benefit.

yeah keep laughing at Knack 2 but that is in fact the better game, enjoyed it immensely when it was free in New Zealand. (PSN error)

Have to say it again. The way Sony handled the current Corona crisis and what they have done so far is just awesome. Very well done, Sony.
