Sony Offers More Free Games With #PlayAtHome Initiative

Sony’s lending a helping hand in the battle against COVID-19 by encouraging users to stay home with its #PlayAtHome initiative. Last year, when the pandemic first began, the company offered two games for free: Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Journey – giving gamers a reason to remain indoors.

This year, Sony is taking its initiative a step further by introducing more games and to an extent, reasons to stay home and #StaySafe. The objective is to keep the PlayStation community entertained and allow them to ride out the lockdowns. The Play At Home initiative will kick off in March and extends through June.

This is what gamers can expect:

Starting March 1, 2021

PlayStation and Insomniac Games will make Ratchet & Clank PS4 available for free download for a limited time through PlayStation Store from March 1 at 8pm PST / March 2 at 4am GMT / 5am CET to March 31, 2021 at 8pm PDT* / April 1 at 4am BST / 5am CEST.

Starting March 25, 2021

There will be extended access for new subscribers to Funimation or Wakanim in the countries they are available. This offer is only available to our community who sign up for and download the Funimation starting on March 25 for a limited time. Funimation is an anime-focused subscription service.

Regarding this initiative, Jim Ryan, President & CEO, Sony Interactive Entertainment, said, “In the coming weeks, we’ll share more details on free games and entertainment offers dropping for our PlayStation community. We consider ourselves privileged to bring you this entertainment, and we are very grateful to be a part of your lives.”

Many hope that the declining rate of infections globally, and with the vaccination drives kicking into high gear, we should be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. One way we can ensure that this happens is to continue to social distance and stay at home when possible.
