Our reasoning is that, when assessing the monetary value of a free offer, one title should count only once, particularly as PlayStation Plus has many cross-buy titles where acquiring a game on one platform entitles the owner to the same game on another. Getting StartedĬounting each version as an individual game, PlayStation Plus offered 108 games offered for free on three platforms in 2015, and they averaged a rating of 75.5. (For example, a game on both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 that costs $20 on each platform counts only $20 toward this total, not $40.) The prices are for the digital version of the game on the PlayStation Store as of yesterday.
This monetary figure counts the same title on multiple platforms only once. First up is the first service to offer the incentive: PlayStation Plus, which in 2015 gave out 72 discrete titles - six per month - for three platforms: PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PS Vita.Īll told, a $50 PlayStation Plus subscription in 2015 returned $1,053.36 in games to a subscriber who had all three platforms.
Polygon is looking back on the year in free games with an in-depth series today picking apart both the dollar value of free games given out by PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live, and the critical score of each game on offer. How many do you get? Are they good, current titles? Are they unknown indie experiments? Are they retreads living off an old reputation? When Sony asks you to lay down $50 for a PlayStation Plus subscription, it says a bunch of free games are part of the bargain.
