PlayStation Plus Free Game News – Play the August games on PS Plus

Free games are coming to PlayStation Plus subscribers in September 2019. The wait time for the official review will not be a long one as Sony will be quick to announce them until then. The company has announced it will reveal the games list on the 28th of August at 4.30 PM. The free games will be available for download a week after that.

Free game predictions

Fans have started to make their predictions on the free game list that will be available for the PS Plus subscribers. Reddit is the platform most gamers used to jump in on the guessing game. Think of it as predicting who will win the FIFA World Cup but on a smaller scale.

In terms of exclusives, Uncharted 4 has been selected by fans, as well as The Nathan Drake collection. Third-party releases are said to include Doom, Ghost Recon: Wildlands, and Dying Light. Fans have favorited some indie titles such as Celeste, Hollow Knight, and Firewatch.

EA games are also expected with titles such as Mass Effect: Andromeda and Dragon Age: Inquisition. But the launch of EA Access would possibly prohibit such titles from being available on PS Plus.

Play the August games on PS Plus

Rather than making predictions about September games, PS4 users can play the August selection of games right now. These will be available until the 3rd of September, just before the launch of the other wave of games. Some of the August games include titles like Wipeout Omega and Sniper Elite 4.

Sniper Elite 4

The game is set in Italy with gorgeous coastal towns on the Mediterranean. The protagonist of the game, elite marksman Karl Fairburne, needs to navigate the ancient forests and the mountain valleys to help the Italian Resistance in their struggle for liberating their country.

PlayStation Plus Prices Go Up, As The State of Chicago Adopted a New ‘Entertainment Tax’

The United States is a country in which each state has its own tax law, so it is normal to see that there are taxes in one state that are not adopted in another. The same thing will happen soon in Chicago, a state that has passed an ”entertainment tax”, a tax that taxes online entertainment services, such as Netflix, and that will raise the price of PlayStation Plus, among other Sony services, too.

Some time ago, the city of Chicago passed a law that boosted the tax on streaming content services. Xbox, Netflix, and Spotify, among others. These are now services for which users in that state must pay 9% more than those in other states of the country, and now Sony will see how this tax will damage several of its divisions. And yes, PlayStation Plus games will now cost a little more.

PlayStation Plus Prices Go Up, As The State of Chicago Adopted a New ‘Entertainment Tax’

Starting on November 14th, the price of PlayStation Plus will rise 9% in Chicago, but the tax will also affect other services such as PlayStation Now, PlayStation Vue, PlayStation Music, PlayStation Video on Demand and PlayStation Video Live Events. All these services operate in the cloud and precisely this ”cloud tax” could be implemented in other cities, such as New York.

Mayor Ralph Emanuel’s explanation for this ”entertainment tax”, as it is known locally, is that it helps pay pensions, no more, no less. Of course, companies don’t stand idly by, since it’s the users who have to pay that extra 9%, and companies can witness many unsubscriptions due to the tax.

Companies like Apple and Netflix are, at the moment, trying to act to eliminate this tax, which does not tax the physical content, for example, or the sales of digital games, but in the meantime, it will be time to go through the checkout process, if you live in Chicago, of course. Let’s hope a ”cloud tax” doesn’t reach other regions as well.
