INDIES
PS PLUS FREE GAMES FOR MARCH 2018
After the big game(s), a few smaller indie titles usually make the list for PS Plus every month to please those who might want a little variety in the games they get for free.
For March 2018 we wouldn’t be surprised to see beautiful action RPG title Bastion, due to a couple reasons. The first being that Bastion has been an extremely well-received indie since it first came to PS4 in 2015, praised for its art style, narration, gameplay, and overall story. Sony has been known to make sure some super popular indies make the list from time to time, say for example Super Meat Boy in June 2015 or Abzu in May 2017.
Secondly, Bastion is currently available as a cross-buy title, meaning when purchased you get a copy for both PS4 and PS Vita, and we all know how much Sony loves to kill two birds with one stone and include games that work on multiple platforms for PS Plus.
Another likely candidate is Shovel Knight, which first came to PS4 back in 2014. Along with Bastion, Shovel Knight is a heavy-hitter indie with immense popularity that would be sure to please PS Plus subscribers, but also the game is already available on numerous other consoles with the most recent being the Nintendo Switch. Therefore, it wouldn’t be too crazy to think that Sony might be inclined to include it in its lineup since it is likely losing sales for the title anyways to other newer consoles.
Finally on page three we’ll look at what VR title Sony might include for its PSVR system next month free for PS Plus members.
