PS PLUS FREE GAMES FOR NOVEMBER 2017
Not every month, but often enough, a PSVR game is included in the mix of free games on PS Plus. Since the PSVR’s release in October 2016, Sony has been working hard on making their VR console a viable competitor to its PC predecessors Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. A great way to do this is to offer players a free game every so often that will keep owners happy and perhaps entice some PS4/PS3 owners to make the leap from regular old console owner to VR owner.
For January 2018 we believe the console launching title PlayStation VR Worlds would be a smart choice after the holiday shopping rush to include for free for a couple reasons. Firstly, PlayStation VR Worlds is already included in a console bundle for those who want to purchase more than just the headset in one go. There are also several other bundles, for example one including Skyrim VR, so for those who picked up the headset and not the Worlds bundle they can still check it out without paying full price.
Secondly, PlayStation VR Worlds itself is a game designed to show off the capabilities of VR with five specifically designed experiences to choose from. Since it is likely Sony will sell some VR units for holiday gifting, it makes sense to offer a basic game like this to players to have in their back pocket so whenever a family member or friend who is new to VR wants to try it out, they have something easy and fun to show them.
