Playing video games is a great way to pass the time while staying home to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Sony Interactive Entertainment recently announced the Play At Home Initiative. Sony is providing free games to keep the Playstation community entertained as well as establishing a fund to help smaller independent game studios who may be experiencing financial difficulties continue building great experiences for all gamers.
To support Play At Home, PlayStation is offering Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Journey available for free for a limited time through digital downloads from Apr. 15 at 8 p.m. PT through May 5 at 8 p.m. PT. Once you redeem the games, they are yours to keep.
According to the PlayStation Blog, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is a three-game collection from the masters at Naughty Dog including Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. Journey is a beautiful, celebrated adventure that is as moving as it is mysterious.
“People all over the world are doing the right thing by staying home to help contain the spread of COVID-19,” wrote Sony Interactive Entertainment President and CEO Jim Ryan. “We are deeply grateful to everyone practicing physical distancing and take our responsibility as a home entertainment platform seriously, so we are asking our community to continue supporting the safe choice and the need to Play At Home.”
Sony Interactive Entertainment has also developed a fund to support independent developers during this time. More information about the fund, including participation criteria, will be made available soon.
