If you thought Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition would be the end of Sony's Play At Home initiative for 2021, you might want to think again. As part of a PlayStation Blog post detailing exactly when the fantastic PlayStation 4 hit can be downloaded (learn more about that through here), the hardware manufacturer confirms another promotional update is coming soon. Senior director of SIE Content Communications Sid Shuman said: "Thanks again to the community — and stay tuned, we’ll have another Play at Home update to share soon."
Shuman stops short of confirming what PlayStation fans can look forward to playing free of charge next, but it's exciting news nonetheless. As a reminder, this year Sony has already given away Ratchet & Clank, ABZÛ, Enter the Gungeon, Rez Infinite, Subnautica, The Witness, Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Moss, Thumper, Paper Beast, and the aforementioned inaugural adventure for Aloy. All of a high quality, Sony looks set to offer more quality PS4 games without charge. What do you hope to get for free? Let us know in the comments below.

Love this program, if this means that Spider-Man PS4 will eventually become free, that means more can experience this amazing game.
It's like a mini Game Pass, except it's free, limited time, and you keep the games forever.
Love it! Way better than some of the Gamepass stuff because you can keep these games FOREVER!
Also so pumped for Returnal
@HotGoomba Honestly if they made Spider-Man Remastered free on the PS5 store I would be so happy that I could potentially save money when I get around to buying PS5 games for my console after my finals since I can just get Demon's Souls and regular Miles Morales
Ultimate Edition here in Canada is 90 bucks
I just like it because it means games I already own won't need me to insert disk
It's only one more month left, right?
Hopefully we get death stranding. Always wanted to try that walking sim with a movie attached to it.
Would be very surprised to not see Dreams as one of the selections
Come onn Vader Immortal 🤞🤞
Hoping God of War (2018) will be free.
Not much for me honestly but it’s pretty mad that they are giving away decent software for free like this. Imagine that a few generations ago.
@TheFrenchiestFry
Spiderman.a plague tales of innocence.etc.sony is in a good mood today.haha.word up son
It's good but I already have most of sony 1st party studio games from day one.
@LiterallyDoNotCare. I think death stranding will be it.horizon .days gone.went to pc and other games are free.word up son
I think Death Stranding is coming. I would like bloodborne with a 60 FPS patch, I am really enjoying Demon’s Souls
@darreal12 That’s also my guess. God of War would advertise its sequel, like Ratchet and Clank and Horizon Zero Dawn did for theirs.
I'd love if they dropped Uncharted 4 as a limited time free game on Play at Home. It was a huge game for them, it's old enough now that I imagine most of it's sales potential dried up a while ago and I don't already own it 😁
I'd be made up if it was Nier Automata. It seems to be relatively difficult to get a physical copy of the game, so if I had to get digital, a PAH copy would be great.
Im hoping for concrete genie. i missed it when it was on ps plus the other month.
I would love to see Death Stranding PS4 or Sackboy Adventures on PS5
I definitely won't be buying any Sony games any time soon, in that case.
Here's hoping for Uncharted: The Lost Legacy!
It will for sure be an old game they can use to promote a new game, like they did/are doing with R&C and HZD - so probably GoW.
@Ralizah Lost Legacy is the only Uncharted that hasn't been given away yet, be it on Plus or otherwise, so it is currently the odd one out there. I'd imagine it's coming up soon.
I'd say this is a perfect way to counter the xbox game pass dibocal of The Show 2021 buy they them selfs giving it for free but then that also has the potential to blow up in there face from the people that have already bought the game .
@Feena that would be a huge good will gesture that sony kind of needs right now. Coupled with the fact they just backtracked on the vita, ps3 stores no longer closing could be a good way to get the positive ball rolling
Theres so many really cool games they could throw at us...some old school arcaders like metal slug...hows about streets of rage 4? Any freebies are a welcome bonus but there is always going to be that "person" that moans about them..
Not interested! They're giving with one hand and taking (too much) with the other. Stick this lot where the sun don't shine and give us reasonably priced, day one games.
Genuinely hope it's Knack 2. I don't have it.
Here's hoping for Spiderman Remastered.
Gow is next in the lineup
@LiterallyDoNotCare Two more months. It lasts through the end of June.
@Loftimus Talk about entitlement. I can't get everything I want, so I'll refuse to grab up the freebies because that'll somehow teach Sony. xD
A PS3 game as they are keeping the store open!
@Ralizah Lost Legacy's probably a given. The Nathan Drake Collection and Uncharted 4 were both given away for free previously I believe
Most of the games they've given away I already have but the ones I didn't have I really appreciated them. Can't believe they're doing this tbh.
I would love to see a bunch of classic ps 1,2 and 3 games. Stuff like parappa the rapper, kurushi, vib ribbon, metal gear solid 1,2 & 3, mgs4, resistance series. The sort of games I probably wouldn't pay money for again, but I'd like to have easy access to on my ps5.
Hmmm just got gifted some store credit and was about to browse the store makes sense to hang fire now!
@Loftimus Bloody hell they're giving away free games and because there isn't anything that interests you personally you throw a tantrum? that's pretty pathetic 🤣
@Loftimus this is the type of attitude I hate the most from these so called "customers". It is sad really. Please don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Loads of people mention games that are currently available (PSplus collection) or have just been recently available on PSplus monthly like God Of War, Bloodborne and Uncharted 4. Honestly that would be a bit of a kick in the teeth for anyone who has PSplus or has a PS5. Really hope it's something that hasn't been on PSplus or part of the collection.
To be fair they didn’t say that other update would be more games but... you know... it’s probably more games.
@Loftimus. Stop doing drugs ok.you making no sense .if you not interested why comment.nobody is taking you seriously .sony is doing a amazing but they're are always guys or woman whathever you are like you who always complain.go to x box or Nintendo.word up son
@TheFrenchiestFry The NDC was one of the Play At Home Games last year, along with Journey.
@Loftimus lololol
@playstation1995 nah im alright thanks why dont you just ignore my comment if its not for you, son.
@rpg2000 dont be daft i'm not going anywhere just because you don't like my comment. I'm not here for you. There has been nothing constructive in any of the replies i've seen. Just insults toward a comment you don't agree with. Grow up!
@RubyCarbuncle how have i thrown a tantrum. Why are you reading my words with an angry voice? If you don't like my opinion, that is fine. Replying to my comment with insults? Now that's pathetic!
I'll take Sekiro.
Please and thank you.
@TowaHerschel7 no i'm saying forget the freebies and balance it out with cheaper day ones. Obviously i don't include the US as they're paying the right price. I just want some parity with regards to UK prices.
Give me GT: Sport, Dreams, and/or Amnesia: Rebirth. 3 very different games that would be awesome to get for free.
@Loftimus My apologies, I misread your comment.
I had a few of these games already but I'm glad Sony is doing this.
Gotta be crazy to hate this idea.
@Loftimus I agree with you mate, we need better regional pricing, here in Mexico we have to pay Tax... from the US which is just dumb.
I've been slowly buying my games on Steam now apart from a few that I would rather play on my PS4.
I thought HZD would be the last, but thats good news, thanks to this ive become hooked on Enter the Gungeon.. I might have to goto rehab tbf
Awesome.
Just got the platinum for Thumper the other day and I've still got so much more to play from the games they already offered. This initiative's been just great for me.
@Loftimus Lad I didn't insult you in any way shape or form plus I wasn't even remotely angry either. If anything you're the one that comes across as angry with that ridiculous statement of yours. You don't like the games on offer here that's fine but just remember they don't have to give anything away at all plus throwing a tantrum just because the games aren't for you is really childish too. Look at how everyone here reacted to you.
Anyway whatever too tired to get into this tbh.
@RubyCarbuncle we dont even know what the new games are yet. Nobody has thrown a tantrum (no matter how many times you say it). I'm just saying i'd rather have cheaper day one games instead of freebies. Someone needs to calm down....
Free games is a welcome gesture. Judging from the games they are giving away. HZD and R&C, we are going to get games that have sequels in line for PS5. It could be God of War or RE7.
@LiterallyDoNotCare I'm down for that too!
@BrainHacker I don't want god of war. I'm sure everyone has this game. It can be found for 10$!
@tinCAT-zero it was free last year in Germany.
@AnasMD128 You can say the same thing with HZD. I think I already have most PS4 exclusive game except Order 1886 and Infamous Second Son. I'm more interested with their free third party games.
@Loftimus Lol I'm not angry like AT ALL your original statement just amused me "stick them where the sun don't shine"
Either way it doesn't matter.
I hope it’s not god of war, I think everybody has played it already.death stranding would be better I think . I also liked the smaller indy
games that I never would have tried .
@darreal12 it is on the ps+ collection
I really don’t think Sony would be doing this if they weren’t struggling with public perception right now, but I love being the benefactor of all these free games. Lost Legacy would definitely be appreciated.
I hope its something I don't own but even if it is eh, more people get to try games I enjoy.
I hope a JRPG is part of this though.
@LiterallyDoNotCare so buy it and play it...
Sony losing to Gamepass my butt. Who needs subscriptions when you can get it for free to keep.
Whatever game(s) they announce, some people will moan.
Being selfish I'd like Persona 5 Royal the most as that way I could bin my copy of the vanilla release and get to keep the enhanced version instead, played again at my leisure for no extra cost.
Another game I'd like is Resi 3 as I played and thoroughly enjoyed Resi 2 remake last year.
Maybe a smaller game like Observation as I've always been intrigued by it's premise.
If there is nothing for me then so be it, I've still got Abzu and Subnautica to play from last month's incentive plus other games.
Lost Legacy
Death Stranding
Dying Light with all the dlc trimmings
This would please me greatly.
Death Stranding plz.
Or with PS+
@TheFrenchiestFry and get ready when games will cost 70$. In Canada, they'll cost 90-95$ xD it'll be ridiculous.
No one has mentioned ghost tsushima, I'd like to play that.
Sony will twist the knife and it'll be Days Gone
Even though I’ve already finished it, I hope they give away Yakuza 0 so people can get into one of the greatest gaming series of all time.
For me, I’d like Tales of Berseria, as it’s one of those games I was just too busy to pick up.
In fact, because I have such a backlog, I wouldn’t mind if they gave away games I have on disc so I can trade them in for credit for future games, plus make playing them a tiny bit more convenient. So the likes of Skyrim VR, Dreams, Sackboy...
Wow that's pretty sweet more free games, wasn't really expecting more after the last lot tbh. But will happily take free games. Wouldn't mind maybe knack 2 just for a blast.
@Ninjawacker sackboy is already out on ps5
Horizon has been a big omission from my PS4 library for way too long, definitely looking forward to giving it a go at long last! Whether I have the time to finish it is another matter, but hey.
Would love Persona 5 royal, but more likely God of War or something like that.
@bluedex "I'd be made up if it was Nier Automata"
I wouldnt. I purchased it yesterday 😂😂
Another big Sony exclusive would be cool - Death Stranding, Gran Turismo or Lost Legacy maybe?
And then a handful of smaller indie games like last time would be cool - Dead Cells, Firewatch, Hyper Light Drifter, Moving Out, Guacamelee 2. Things like that.
The best thing about this is, even if you already own and played the game via PS Plus or PS Now, it's STILL a bonus because you get to keep it if you ever cancel.
I'd like more indies and The Order 1886.
I'm hoping for Gravity Rush 1 or 2, maybe Spiderman ps4 as well.
really hoping they bring godzilla back for a limited time and just make it free i miss that game and wish that i never got rid of it
So funny that people are mad about free stuff. 🤪
@Hypnotoad107 They Were Doing This Way Before All Of The Bad Press.
I wish they would add Sackboy's Adventure or Uncharted 4 for free...
I would love to see them offer up God of War (2018) next, or Marvel's Spider-Man.
I'm hoping for days gone since I've never played it but after the director calling us a bunch of tightwads I doubt that will happen. Probably God of War since Sony seems to be giving us games that will have a sequel soon.
@TowaHerschel7 yup. A typical example of what's wrong with many gamers. It's quite laughable, really.
Wouldn't mind me some Death Stranding, No Man's Sky or Gran Turismo.
Can't say no to free games although I rather have new indie games free like narita boy on gamepass or oddworld soulstroms on psplus rather than given old games for free that's already discounted next to nothing, since I usually buy most of games I like on day one or at least at first discount.
@Grimwood I like the “free” and agree with the air quotes . A lot of people think ps plus games are free but games with gold or game pass aren’t even though they’re both subscriptions and both very good services. Really impressed that this initiative is fully free and really respect Sony for this
Now is the perfect time to add Nier automata (or to plus) with Nier Replicant ver 1.2xxxxxx coming out this week!
Zero interest in anything spider man but Id bet on that one. Id prefer death stranding
Can you imagine Nintendo giving away some of there best games completely free
I have both an Xbox 1 and PS4....with Sony putting all these free games out wonder why they didn't do like Xbox and put out MLB Tbe Show 2021 on there for free on PSNOW....I mean it would make sense...I downloaded it and have been playing it since day 1 and yes it is a great game however just doesn't feel right not playing it on the Playstation. Anyone else have any comments and don't put hateful comments. This is just one gamers opinion
