Destroy All Humans! multiplayer spin-off Clone Carnage has gone free to play on Xbox One and PC, basically everywhere except PS4, where the title will bizarrely set you back the princely sum of $0.02 / £0.20 / €0.25.
Originally released on 31st May for $12.99 / €12.99 / £9.99, that's still a pretty substantial saving, but also something of a head-scratcher. You will need PlayStation Plus to play this one online, so, you know, factor that into your budgeting.
The question remains: why is Clone Carnage not free to play on PS4? We have seen instances of some countries not allowing games rated for violence to be given away for legal reasons, but this listing is worldwide and has us stumped.
Clone Carnage looks like a bit of chaotic fun, and you can't go wrong with the entry price. Will you be checking this one out? Beam yourself directly into the comments section below.

IIRC, free to play games can be played online without PS Plus, whereas paid games require it. Perhaps this is so that it forces players to have PS Plus, for some unknown reason.
I don't believe it has anything to do with Team Green, but it would be hilarious if they made a deal for that. 🤣
Idve added it to my library & not played it but I'm not wasting 20p lol
@BeerIsAwesome I agree there's probably a technical reason for removing Plus for online. My assumption is that with Plus they can use Sony's servers for the peer-to-peer matchmaking (again I'm just assuming this game is peer-to-peer), effectively making the online servers free for the dev. So to remove plus they'd have to run their own servers, which they clearly don't want to do on a dead game that they're making free*.
i can't roll my eyes back hard enough lol
36% positive on Steam... I'll pass thanks.
I had to read this twice before i realised it didn't say clown carnage
Two cents = Twenty pence!!
I'll wait for a sale. 😂
This counts as a purchase for the Stars program. Moved me up to tier 2.
It might not be free since Sony makes free to play games giveaway ps plus freebies every so often. Would be a hassle having to release tidbits of crap for their dead game
