Not sure if i've missed something but I was browsing the store on my PS5 and it's just let me claim Fallout 4 standard edition "As part of your Playstation Plus subcription"?? I'm on Essential, and it definitely isn't a monthly game is it? What's going on lol
@Jessicolonthree So way back when PS5 launched in early 2021, Sony had a special group of games that they gave out to PS Plus members in one lump giveaway. (At the time there was only one tier, what we now call “PS+ Essential”). I think they called this giveaway the “PS Plus Collection” or something like that, and it was 20 PS4 games that you could get if you had PS+ and also had a PS5. You couldn’t access them for free on a PS4. I think it was a way to incentivize people to upgrade to the PS5 in the early days when there were very few games on PS5 that weren’t cross-gen.
This was also during COVID and so this PS+ collection shouldn’t be confused with the “Play at Home” initiative in 2021 where they gave away several extra games like Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Ratchet & Clank to everyone, even non-PS+ players.
Looking it up on Google, the games in the “PS Plus Collection” were:
Batman: Arkham Knight
Battlefield 1
Bloodborne
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (Zombie Chronicles Edition)
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
Days Gone
Detroit: Become Human
Fallout 4
Final Fantasy 15
God of War
Infamous Second Son
Monster Hunter World
Mortal Kombat X
Persona 5
Ratchet and Clank
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
The Last Guardian
The Last of Us Remastered
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Until Dawn
Some of those games were already part of PS+ monthly games given out, either before or after this collection, but some of them like Fallout 4 and Monster Hunter World had never been on PS+ and have not since.
All these games are permanently in your library if you had a PS5 and PS+ in early 2021 and it was available to claim them all the way until they shut it down in May 2023.
So you probably claimed those several years ago and didn’t even realize Fallout 4 was in your library the whole time. I bet if you look at the other games on the list you’ll find that you have access to all those also.
We forget how generous Sony really was back in the early PS5 days. I think it probably paid off for them to get early market share.

@Th3solution I thought that too but I saw the same thing being mentioned recently on Vkontakte. They'd bought their console long after the Plus Collection was available and about a month ago Fallout 4 popped up for free for them. A couple of people said the same thing, it's almost like that game stayed redeemable. It could even be before Christmas, no one ever solved it.
These violent delights have violent ends & in their triumph die, like fire & powder Which, as they kiss, consume.
@Th3soulution But it wasn't in my library, the button said "Add to Library" with the ps plus logo next to it meaning I never claimed it. I remember claiming other games in that collection though, such as Black Ops 3 and Bloodborne, but how could I have been able to claim Fallout 4 in Feb 2026 if it shut down in May 2023? That's what i'm trying to figure out xD
A couple of Polaroids from a trip to The New Forest over the weekend. They both came out really well I think. Landscapes are difficult, but this one came out nicely with good contrast and nothing blowing up or being way under exposed. It rained for most of the trip but I got this during a brief window of sunshine. The (semi-wild) horse looks great on B&W film with all the texture in her wet coat. There is a bit of over exposure on the top and I wish I had not clipped her ears quite so much but it's not major.
@Jessicolonthree@GirlVersusGame Oh, I didn’t realize. There must be something else going on specifically with Fallout 4. It’s weird that they didn’t advertise it as a PS+ giveaway. Like it’s a perpetual PS+ Essential game…?
Like over ten years ago in the early PS+ days they used to have what they called the IGC - “Instant Game Collection” was what it stood for I think, and it was a core group of games on PS+ that stayed on service, kinda like that PS+ collection. It functioned a little like what the Extra catalog is now. Maybe they are bringing that back? Maybe Sammy and co. know what’s going on.

@kyleforrester87 They came out great, Polaroid is a lot harder than people think once you move away from close up photography. I don't think the clipped ears take away from it at all, if anything they bring the eye directly to the face. Is it a Shetland Pony? They have a particular kind of dense hair to protect them from the elements, it looks like a winter double coat, the matting too. They aren't groomed enough like regular horses because they are outside so often.
@Th3solution It's odd but the thread was pretty long that's why it stood out and no one could agree with why the game was there. They'd only become a subscriber for the first time, I wondered it if it was something to do with the console itself like it was original stock and it gave access to the original Plus+ collection but then the other ones would be there too. They need to bring the collection back, there's no reason not to. Weird things happen with regions too, I think they were in Bulgaria.
@kyleforrester87 I recognize them more when they are jumping (the from wiki) And they are free to just roam the town? I thought you meant an actual forest and then there's Forest in your name, they really are beautiful. I haven't seen that part of England yet, Tunbridge Wells has been my cut-off point. That national park takes up a sizable chunk, I'd be tempted to visit just for the horses. That makes me want to get home and see my own horses even more, there seem to be a lot of National Parks in the South West. I'm going to have to add them to the list, there are whole chunks of England I haven't seen. But a town full of horses moves quite far up the list. Do you work in a forest or did I read your name wrong? Oh I've been to Stonehenge that's right above that region.

@GirlVersusGame I do wish I worked in a Forest, but it has been a long time since one’s surname was defined by their profession! Yes, they are free to roam around, they are owned and maintained but obviously they can cover large areas and quite a few do end up getting hit by cars etc.
@kyleforrester87 Oh well fun fact Potter as in Harry is a natural magical name because a potter uses, earth, wind water and fire for their craft. Your Forest might have gotten lost in translation, I was picturing the Firebreak game except with a PS5 in the water tower. I've seen what a buck can do to a vehicle, they keep going and the car doesn't, hopefully it's the same for those horses. I've seen what bears can do to vehicles too when people left food inside them. A ten foot bear can tear through an SUV like it's cardboard. They can sniff out food even better than a Bloodhound. I once left chocolate in a car and one showed up, they had to fire off warning shots. That's when I found out how much bears love chocolate, they'll break right into vehicles and homes for it.

@kyleforrester87 What do you think you'll be aiming your lens at next? Are you creating a physical album for your Polaroids? It's tricky to find good ones and the official Polaroid ones aren't great but it's worth thinking about if you want to preserve them properly. Archival-quality UV-resistant sleeves work well, similar to what you'd use for Vinyl.

@GirlVersusGame I’m not sure, I have an “evening structures” series on the go, looking to take 8 photos similar to the below that compliment one another. I’ve been keeping them in the official Polaroid album, I got it off Vinted for a few pounds. Seems ok!
For interest, here’s one of the horse pictures that went totally wrong.. but still looks kind of cool I think.
@kyleforrester87 That concrete and Brutalism is speaking my language, magic hour helps too. I know a lot of people don't like that look but I really do, they are some of my favorite buildings for Minecraft too.
I spent an unhealthy amount of time staring at this building from all angles in Cyberpunk. It's so well designed, like so many of the other buildings in the game. I'd never speed past that one, I always slowed down to look at it again. I like the second one too, blown out suits it for Polaroid especially with it being an animal. That's the best thing about Polaroids, the imperfections.
That's one of my favorite normal non music related Polaroids, it's simple but the silhouettes came out just like I'd hoped. The sidewalk was blown out too but it worked. I don't do outside much so it means even that bit more. I'll look through my physical portfolio whenever I get back to England and see if there are other normal ones worth sharing. Most of it is music. I prefer to see every day photography like yours, it's more natural and interesting. Someone else mentioned photographing architecture before Christmas, I don't remember who it was but they knew who Le Corbusier was.
I don't know what the English word is for that part of the wall but I took it through that gap at the top. It's closed to the public, I took it from inside The Kremlin so facing down onto Red Square and The Necropolis. It had just rained too, I caught that nice puddle. It doesn't look all that high, that's about 20 meters off the ground looking straight down.
I might have made a note of it, and you're really welcome. It's hard to beat pizza and gaming. Is Spider-Man your favorite Superhero? Mine's Batman, I've seen all the movies, watched the cartoon series and played most of the games. I haven't played Spider-Man yet but it sounds like a lot of fun.
I think my next game will be Cat Quest 3, I liked the other two and didn't know they'd made a third. I'll have to try a Spider-Man game soon, there's at least two now and I do like a good open-world.
Spider-Man is my fave superhero! When I was little I had Spidey bed sheets, pillows, and a blanket.
Batman's cool too, I've seen most of the cartoons and films. Also played all four Arkham games.
I've heard good things about Cat Quest, it's in my backlog. I recommend the 2018 Spidey game first.
@KidRyan You'll zoom through the CatQuest games rather quickly but they are a lot of fun and pull of pawsome cat puns. I added that the Spiderman game to my list. I forgot all about Wolverine. I always found it hard to get into Spiderman, I'm not sure why. I think DC make more relatable characters (though I only know a few of them) Marvel might too, I've only seen a couple of Marvel movies like DareDevil, Hulk, Hellboy, one Avengers movie and of course all three Punisher movies. Maybe Blade is Marvel too. I really liked the DareDevil TV show, Wilson Fisk was my favorite thing about it. I need to watch that Venom movie too, I've only seen the Eminem music video. The Green Goblin was an interesting character too. What's your favorite thing about Spiderman? if that's not too hard to answer. I should probably watch the movies before playing the game, build a little hype. Do you collect the toys too?
So much better than that Chad Kroger Spiderman song. If Venom is in any of those games I'd play them just for him.
