Month: January 2020

2020 is here, and with the new year, Sony has announced the first month of free PS4 games for PlayStation Plus subscribers. They become available on January 6, so be sure to snag Titanfall 2 and Monster Energy Supercross before then.

Starting January 6, PS Plus users can claim Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Goat Simulator. They’re free until February 3, and you’ll have access to both of them for as long as you’re subscribed to PlayStation Plus. Once they become available, you can claim them through the links below.

GameSpot’s Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection review scored the game an 8/10, thanks in part to its more stable frame rate and the “masterful pacing of Uncharted 2 and 3.”

“Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune was a fine game in 2007, but its wrinkles are deeper now, its age more apparent,” critic Mike Mahardy wrote. “With Uncharted 2 and 3, though, Naughty Dog transcended Drake’s own small beginnings. The Nathan Drake Collection is a firsthand account of Naughty Dog’s growth as a storyteller, and this collection is the best way to relive that history, and witness its transformation up close.”

Goat Simulator, on the other hand, is a hilarious romp through multiple open worlds that each offer ample opportunity for goat shenanigans. There’s no denying it’s a weird game, but if you’re the kind of person who likes to mess around, inadvertently cause explosions, and stick your goat tongue to things to see what happens, then Goat Simulator is absolutely worth trying when it goes free with PlayStation Plus.

The holidays may be over, but that doesn’t mean the sales have to be. The Epic Games Store agrees and has kicked off an encore sale, featuring a selection of the PC games that were on sale during its holiday specials, including Red Dead Redemption 2, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and Control–the latter is one of GameSpot’s best games of 2019.

The best part about the encore sale is that if you still have a $10 holiday coupon, you can use it on any game that is $14.99 or more. Every Epic Games Store user should still have one, as the holiday sale would grant you another every time you used it on an eligible game. However, unlike the holiday sale, you won’t earn any additional coupons–it’s one and done in the encore sale. That means you can still get Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order for $39.79 or Red Dead Redemption 2 for $38. This brings a lot of these games to their best price yet.

The encore sale lasts from now until January 7 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET. If you have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or Xbox Game Pass for PC subscription, then you don’t need to pay anything extra to be able to play a select few of these games. Game Pass’s PC library currently includes The Outer Worlds, Metro Exodus, and Metro: Last Light Redux. And right now, you can subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $1 for your first three months.

During the holiday sale, the Epic Games Store offered a new free game every day. And with the new year, Epic isn’t stopping there. It’s currently giving away three great games for free: Darksiders: War-Mastered Edition, Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition, and Steep.
