February's PlayStation Plus lineup includes the 2017 puzzle-adventure title Rime along with everyone's favorite pile of junk, Knack. Meanwhile, the Vita and PS3 freebies are largely forgettable.

Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition is free in December for PlayStation Plus subscribers, but you might be disappointed with the other PS4 game. The new lineup of six games will be free starting December 5.

November is a good month to be a PlayStation VR owner. In celebration of the device’s one year anniversary last month, Sony has decided to include not one, but two games with PSVR support for this month’s free PlayStation Plus game lineup.
This month’s official game lineup features Bound as the headline title, which is a breathtakingly beautiful platformer/adventure game about a dancer exploring a surreal and mesmerizing world. The game first released outside of VR and got a free VR patch when Sony’s headset released, so now the base game is free too for this month.
Interestingly, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood isn’t technically included in this month’s free PlayStation Plus game lineup. Instead, it’s just a specially designated bonus game. From November 7th (next Tuesday) all the way until January 2nd, all PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to download Until Dawn: Rush of Blood for free. Fans of horror games definitely don’t want to miss out on this twisted roller coaster ride.
All in all these are two very solid exclusive PSVR titles that are well-worth checking out. And for the sake of clarity, here are the other non-VR games PlayStation Plus subscribers can look forward to:
Let us know what you think of this month’s offerings down in the comments below!

Die Abonennten von PlayStation Plus dürfen sich freuen, denn dieser Monat bietet eine gute Auswahl an neuen kostenlosen Spielen. Eines der Spiele ist der VR-Titel Until Dawn: Rush of Blood für PlayStation VR (PSVR) von Supermassive Games – ein Entwicklerstudio, das bereits weitere VR-Titel in Planung hat.
Die PlayStation-Plus-Mitglieder dürfen sich mit ihrem Abo über regelmäßige Informationen, Angebote und kostenlose monatliche Spiele freuen. Ab dem 7. November stehen die folgenden Spiele kostenlos zum Download zur Verfügung:
Der Haupttitel für den Zeitraum ist zwar Worms Battlegrounds, doch mit Until Dawn: Rush of Blood reiht sich ein spannendes VR-Spiel in die Rotation ein. Im Horror-Titel fahrt ihr durch eine Geisterbahn und feuert mit euren Waffen auf Objekte und Gegner, die während des Spiels stärker und anspruchsvoller werden. Zudem müsst ihr Projektilen und Hindernissen ausweichen und am Ende jedes Levels gegen einen Endboss antreten.
Wie das Spiel aussieht, kann man sich im folgenden Trailer anschauen:
Die Spiele sind vom 7. November 2017 – 2. Januar 2018 kostenlos mit den entsprechenden Konsolen spielbar. Eine 14-tägige Testversion bei PlayStation Plus ist hier möglich. Die weiteren Bezahlmodelle sind wie folgt:
Das 12-monatige Abo ist für 59,99 Euro pro Jahr erhältlich. Für drei Monate Mitgliedschaft muss man 24,99 Euro bezahlen, während ein Monat 7,99 Euro kostet. Wer Until Dawn: Rush of Blood lieber ohne Abo kaufen möchte, zahlt im PlayStation Store derzeit knapp 20 Euro.

The PlayStation Plus service was first released back in 2006, a premium subscription service for the PlayStation Network that gave subscribers access to exclusive content, discounts and access to as yet unreleased titles. Ten years on, how well does PlayStation Plus complement the PlayStation VR? Is it worth subscribing if you are a PlayStation VR user?
For most people, the biggest draw for PlayStation Plus is the monthly bounty of free videogames. Most of the titles that come available to subscribers are titles that have been out for a while, so dedicated collectors might not find too much of interest. However, it can tempt players to try titles they might not otherwise look at, since hey, its free, you have nothing to lose. Of course, if you drop your subscription, you lose access to those titles unless you re-subscribe.
In Septembers list of free titles for subscribers is PlayStation VR title RIGS Mechanised Combat. So PlayStation VR users can be assured of one full videogame to play if they have a PlayStation Plus subscription.
The other attraction of PlayStation Plus is access to online multiplayer. For PlayStation 4 users, and active PlayStation Plus subscription is needed to play online against other people, similar to how the Xbox Live Gold subscription works. PlayStation VR titles with multiplayer features such CCP Games Sparc really do need a PlayStation Plus subscription to get the most out of them.
A slightly lesser-know feature of PlayStation Plus is access to cloud storage for save games. For those who are concerned about a console breaking down, or who want to transfer to a new console, such as for those who want to upgrade to the PlayStation 4 Pro, saves can be uploaded to the cloud and safely downloaded onto another console – or the same console, if some circumstances require a system wipe and restore. This feature is located in the Settings menu, where it can be noted that the ‘Saved Data in Online Storage’ and ‘Auto-Upload’ have the PlayStation Plus yellow plus symbol next to them. Of course, you can buy a spare hard drive and do this yourself, but it can be an inconvenience for many people.
Discounts are also regularly available to PlayStation Plus users that are not open to other users. Even in the case of the regular sales, PlayStation Plus members often get access to larger discounts that their non-subscribing peers.
It also needs to be noted that PlayStation users in Europe have just seen the price for PlayStation Plus subscription increase by 25%, a price hike that sees a quarterly subscription go from £14.99 (GBP) to £19.99. Many users have been distressed by this increase, especially since no other region has been hit by an increase so far.
For PlayStation VR users, unless you do a lot of playing online it is difficult to see the direct benefit. Cloud storage is a nice feature, certainly, as it access to PlayStation Store discounts. Until the PlayStation VR has a larger install base, its difficult to imagine Sony catering directly to PlayStation VR users directly, particularly since VR titles are mostly relatively new, and PlayStation Plus free titles tend to be slightly older.
Only time will tell if the deal changes as VR moves further into the mainstream.
One of the PlayStation VR’s biggest launch titles, RIGS: Mechanized Combat League, is now available for free to all PlayStation Plus subscribers. As previously reported by VRFocus, today’s update for the PlayStation Store offers the first PlayStation VR title to be included as a free download for PlayStation Plus members.
RIGS: Mechanized Combat League is a hugely popular virtual reality (VR) title that may have been unfortunately stunted by the closing of development studio Guerrilla Cambridge shortly after launch. Regardless, early adopters of the PlayStation VR found that RIGS: Mechanized Combat League provided an exhilarating competitive multiplayer experience, and now PlayStation Plus subscribers can join in on that for free.
Also available to PlayStation Plus members this month are Ubisoft’s critically acclaimed Child of Light for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, Hatoful Boyfriend and We Are Doomed for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, Handball 16 and Truck Racer for PlayStation 3, and infamous Second Son for PlayStation 4. All of these titles are free for a limited time.
PlayStation Plus subscriptions recently increased in price, with the UK 12 month membership now costing £49.99 GBP. Other membership options are available.
Remember, even if you don’t own a PlayStation VR you can download RIGS: Mechanized Combat League now ready for when you make that purchase. VRFocus will keep you updated with any future PlayStation VR titles offered for free with the PlayStation Plus subscription programme
