From the beginning of the pandemic many studios and distributors decided to start with promotions and give away games, to give gamers something they do in the lockdown. Finally Sony joined the collaboration by announcing an initiative called Play at Home, with free games and a developer support fund. Starting tomorrow and until May 5 next, all PlayStation 4 users will be able to add to their game library and permanently retain The Nathan Drake Collection, the remastering of the Uncharted trilogy originally released on PlayStation 3, which includes Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception.
“We can’t imagine a better time to enjoy adventures around the world with Nathan Drake, an iconic cast of characters and an exciting treasure-hunting action game,” the company says in the press release. Users will also be able to download Journey, the multi-awarded adventure of thatgamecompany studio, in which players travel through a huge world looking to reach an Eden. The peculiarity of Journey, beyond its exquisite design and soundtrack, is that it is possible to find other travelers and travelers, albeit without sharing users or communication mechanics, but simply sharing a part of the journey.
The second part of the initiative targets developers. Sony allocated a $10 million fund to support its “independent developer partners.” Independent developers are vital to the heart and soul of the video game community and we understand the financial difficulties many small studios are facing,” explains the company, which promises new details in the coming weeks. It’s worth remembering that PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to complete Nathan Drake’s story with Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, which is available to add to the game during April.
