Free Game Access - Yes, it’s true. From August 10-13 you’ll be able to download and play For Honor for free on PS4. Free!

  • This is the full game, mind you — the whole kit and caboodle. It’s all of the intense multiplayer action across five modes, as well as the entire campaign (playable solo or in online co-op) that immerses you in the age-old war among the Knights, the Vikings, and the Samurai. Every map and every hero will be available as you take up arms and test your skills in the innovative melee combat system.

  • And you can get a head start by pre-loading the game beginning on August 7 at 9:00 PM Pacific.

Naughty Dog is at it again and releasing its next game in the Nathan Drake series, Uncharted. However, there is a twist…Nathan Drake is no where to be found. Now I have played through the first 3 games, and personally I love them. We essentially got a male counter-part to Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft, with action, puzzles, exploration, and all things adventure.

Check out the 14 minute video of Gameplay provided by Scott Lowe, Senior Communications Manager from Naughty Dog to Playstation. Dont wait, now’s you chance to get a glimpse of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.

Lol well i am glad the monthly round up reminded you.

This is awesome.
I definitely feel shown up here (!).

Hadn’t heard that For Honor was going F2P.
Looks like they finally accepted it and threw in the towel…

Not worried about the PS Now changes, never even tried it out tbh.

For honor is f2p just this weekend. I will edit that part later this afternoon.

My mistake - I misread it and it was so unsurprising I just believed it.

Downloaded Just Cause 3 till Uncharted comes Out waiting on that one
