PlayStation Europe Blog

PlaysSation Plus members get several free games per month as a bonus for their monthly subscription. For the month of June, the official PlayStation Blog announces big AAA titles such as "NBA 2K16" and "God of War: Chains of Olympus" while also offering a special discount sale for the week of E3.

PS4 owners will be able to download "NBA 2K16" and is part of Sony's special deal with 2K Games. This is in commemoration of the game's "Road to the Finals" event which coincides with the current NBA Finals. The second PS4 title is the unique adventure-exploration title "Gone Home: Console Edition."

Subscribers with a PS3 will be getting "Echochrome" and "Siren: Blood Curse." The former is a tricky puzzle game while the latter is a complete collection of 12 horror-genre episodes. It is also noted that "Blood Curse" is a reimagining of the original "Siren" game with graphical and gameplay updates.

PS Vita owners will be getting "Little Deviants" and "God of War: Chains of Olympus." The former is a cute but tricky platformer while the latter is a PS Vita port of the PSP original, a prequel to the main "God of War" games on consoles. It is likely this was released in preparation for the announcement of "God of War 4" during the E3.

A separate post from the PlayStation Blog announces a special discount sale that is only going to run from June 14 to June 21 as part of the E3 event. Several games will be offered on the PlayStation Store at a discount and PlayStation Plus subscribers get an additional discount of up to 85 percent.

Consuming as much as $100 during this event will also grant the consumer a $15 credit which automatically goes to their PSN Wallet. Some big discounts include "Batman: Arkham Knight Premium Edition" which normally costs $49.99 but for this sale will cost $29.99. PlayStation Plus subscribers can get it for $24.99.
