The Smaller Game – Knack 2
PS Plus Free Games Predictions
After the larger game usually a smaller indie makes the list as well, and we suspect Knack 2 would be a wise PS Plus prediction after the launch of a new console.
The original Knack launched alongside the PS4 back in 2013 and was included in bundles with the console Knack has also already been offered on PS Plus back in February 2018, and in April 2020 Knack 2 was offered for free on the Play at Home Campaign for players in Germany and China instead of the Uncharted: The Nathan Drake collection bundle.
Like Knack, Astro’s Playroom was offered within the PS5 as a pseudo tech-demo for the new DualSense wireless controllers (but is also an noteworthy platformer console owners should definitely check out).
When considering potential PS Plus predictions, especially in the wake of the release of a new console, one should remember Sony will likely prioritize younger customers either obtaining or trying out the console and will want to gift those players more gameplay-simplistic, platformer titles to enjoy outside of shooters and longer RPGs.
Knack 2 fills that role perfectly, and is a logical inclusion following the same train of thought that spurred Sony to include the first Knack with PS4 editions and Astro’s Playroom with PS5s.
Make sure to check back in the next week or so for the offical list from Sony to see what free PS Plus games will be included for PS4 and PS5 consoles in December 2020, and to see if any of our PS Plus predictions came true.
