Sony’s announced the first free PlayStation Plus game that you’ll be getting in July, and it’s part of the PlayLink initiative that the platform holder announced during its E3 2017 press conference pre-show yesterday. For those of you who don’t know, these titles are built around connecting your smartphone or your tablet to your console, so that you can basically participate in accessible couch co-op experiences with your family and friends.
Here’s the official blurb from the platform holder: “PlayLink games turn your smartphone or tablet into a versatile controller – you can swipe, pinch, drag, tilt, rotate, or even snap selfies and draw crafty doodles, depending on the game.”
And one of the first PlayLink games, That’s You!, will be available for free for PlayStation Plus members starting from 4th July. “[This is] an audacious comedy quiz which challenges you and up to five friends to get personal and find out what you really think about each other,” the PlayStation Blog explains. “Featuring over 1,000 varied questions, reveal your daring side by taking part in doodle challenges and snapping selfies.”
There’s a video of the PlayStation Access team trying out the title below:
Are you happy with this one? Is it something that you’d be willing to play with your family and friends? Take a selfie in the comments section below.

Looks like an interesting-ish party game for half hour or so. Quite enjoyed watching the PS Access let's play.
Excellent! I love these kinds of games.
I think it looks fun, too, but I suspect the comments won't remain kind for long.
So, are the PushSquare bunch planning on Youtubing a game?
This was one of the best games on display. Can't wait to try it out and draw Willie's on my friends heads.
Definitely give it a go with my wife and kids looks fun
Could be good for a laugh. Definitely willing to give it a try!
If this is a third extra game then I don't mind. Games that require extra hardware, like this case a smartphone, should not be part of the PS plus games.
Also I think it is stupid that there is no application for it, for Vita.
Is this similar the Jackbox type games on the PS4? (I can't see the video?)
I will keep this Short - NO THANK YOU!!!
What about the people (like me) that doesn't have any family or friends?
Trophy support ?? lol
Nope
This is BULL

Life is Strange and June games were great so let's see what the other July game is.
That's garbage.
Would be great if there was a kids version, fun for the whole family then
We usually play Jackbox games when people are over. Actually having a housewarming on July 4. This will go well with that!
I can't imagine a set of circumstances in which I ever play this game, even by accident.
No thanks
Eh smartphone's what?!? No thank's.
Umm thanks but no thanks. Just give me axion verge already how many times do i reluctantly have to not buy it on sale lol
I don't complain about free PS Plus games but um...1,I dont have a smart phone 2, I don't have friends 3,this looks pants..
So it's pictionary but I need a phone?
I love these guys , PlayStation Access videos and Pushsquare are the dogs nads. #301club
Wow! This would be a great game to play with my friends... if I had friends.
Quite honestly they can shove this up their *rs*s. This trash should be a free app anyway. No thanks.
Eww. No.
I'm surprised at how kind the comments are. This is an insult to everyone paying for the PS+. It looks like shovelware for the Wii U...
This is definitely one that my wife and I will be playing together, however, I hate the games that use smart phones (I personally hate the smart phone generation and cell phones in general), but still, looks like a fun trivia party game...and we definitely need some good party games on the PS4. Can you also use tablets or the computer in this game, or is it just smart phones.
Errrr NO
I'll play it... but ehhhh so many good games and we get this? Please tell me there is another givaway as well..
Probably gonna get roasted for this comment but , is the gonna be an online component. To say play with family over the internet?
Just terrible
Erm, sound.
This is the worst plus game since ps4 launched i dont play with friendsFamily i play solo no way im downloading this crappy game, i hope the other plus game is better than this
My son and I were excited to see this would be free in July. We're excited to throw a party and play this with friends and family.
Looks truly awful for the first time I will not even claim the free game. Also Sony stance on this new thing they are pushing. They are happy for the use of mobiles and tablets with the PS4 but unhappy if you want to play a game with your friend on xbox.
@JLPick
Agreed not a fan of them either in fact got rid of mine and went back to a basic phone that just does calls and texts. If I want a computer I use my laptop
I guess this is the reason why sony gave us £10 off the ps plus service
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi I was just thinking the same thing.
I cant imagine the demographic for these types of games is very large, so it looks like Sony is simply pushing its new i initiative on everyone.
I can understand some of the games not appealing to everyone, but most of whats offered has a fairly solid userbase within their respective genres, this I imagine makes up a fairly low percentage of players across the entire userbase.
Sammy, your prediction power, take me to the casino!
Well, we got our one decent game for the year with Killing Floor 2, so only to be expected :/
Lame, lame, lame, lame, and more lame. Trash, garbage, senseless.
Colour me not interested
@Throb sounds like it! Tearaway did this stuff too.
More free crap that I'll never download or even consider playing.
XD People are so salty because they have no one to play it with. My friend and I will give this a go, but it probably won't be anything great.
