      Nah seems to be completely free to keep forever. Sounds like they'll have a free game every month for 4 months.

      More of an insomniac promo, in time to get people playing / replaying it and drum up more interest in Rift Apart.
      Happy to add it to the library, I never did finish getting all the golden bolts before selling my copy.

    Already free through the PlayStation Plus Collection for those lucky enough to own a PS5.

          They haven't actually added anything since Day 1 though so it's unknown.

          • ramboando on 24/02/2021 - 15:44

            @Hybroid: Unlikely, I think it was just a one-time thing to appease fans due to the lack of games at launch (or to make them happy and say thank you depending on how cynical/optimistic you are lol).

    • Jimbuscus on 24/02/2021 - 10:22

      Last time they did not allow you to claim the full licence if you already had the game via PS+.

      Yes, you can, 99.9% of PS4 games work on PS5.

  • davedrastic on 24/02/2021 - 08:26

    R&C has already been a PS+ game, which I believe means that those that "bought" the licence for free as a part of PS+ will likely not be able to purchase this new, non PS+ affiliated, licence.

    I've heard of similar situations occurring.

    Apparently this issue can be fixed by contacting Sony customer service and asking them to remove the PS+ licence. Having never contacted Sony customer service I don't know if that's a simple thing to do or not.

          Yeah, I'm sure they're struggling with their $79 million in revenue.

            Corporates need profits to reinvest into the cycle again for future developments.

            • RocketSwitch on 24/02/2021 - 10:35

              @ruztynail: Again what's your point? This was free for PS+ and now free to own? What are you on about?

              My point was, that it doesn't matter because I would be PAYING for PS+ for life? If you're going to talk about feeding devs, I own all consoles and have a huge library that I pay for, even if I don't play the games. So save it.

              Do you understand?

        If you are not an active PS+ member (i.e. elapsed membership), you will be able to purchase it.

        Tell Sony to transfer all your remaining PS Plus months to me…. :-)

      Contacted Sony PSN support online, they cannot remove it from the subscription. So if you previously collected the game from PS+, you won't be able to get the game for free (unless your subscription expires some time in March).

    • TezBiAn on 02/03/2021 - 11:59

      Like you I already had this from PS+. I just opened the PS App on my phone and in the PS Store section I was able to "re-purchase" it from the PLAY AT HOME section. So hopefully this means I have the free non-PS+ version? Not sure.

      • netsurfer on 02/03/2021 - 12:28

        Thanks for this. Looks like Sony got this one done right. It looks like the browser supports the same option as well so it can be purchased.

        • tebbybabes on 02/03/2021 - 12:50

          Could you point me in the right direction on how to find the "play at home" section on the web version? I can't seem to find it.

          • tebbybabes on 02/03/2021 - 16:46

            @tebbybabes: Just an update, the "Play at home" section has now splashed on my desktop browser and I have successfully added Ratchet & Clank. (I've also redeemed this prior via PS+)

          It’s Insomniac, they eat quite well don’t worry haha. It’s quite an easy job assuming the engine allows it. If it was made on a 30fps focused engine, then I understand if it never happens.

            @Ashkan: They eat ok in between 17hr crunch sessions haha.
            Was programmed for ps4, before pro was on their radar so like you said, 30fps was probably what it was set for.

  • Red Pandas on 24/02/2021 - 10:44

    What's the easiest way to claim without actually having to download the game as I already own a physical copy?

    • henrikoez on 24/02/2021 - 10:54
      +5

      add to library via desktop or mobile app

    • netsurfer on 24/02/2021 - 14:41
      +1

      You will need to download another copy. If you don't, even if you claimed it digitally, you will still need to put the disc in. This is one of the annoying things about the way Sony does things. Save games will work, but you need to download the digital version (as it is a different license). I wish Sony can implement it the same way as Microsoft on this (check digital license first, then fallback to disc license, rather than 2 separate versions).

      You can try on the date where it is available. However, I do find I need to remove the downloaded copy for physical disc, otherwise I can get a bit confusing (otherwise there will be two icons / two copies).

      The other one is there is no easy way to purchase this for free if you previously collected it via PS Plus or PS Plus collection (PS5) and you have an active subscription. I get it was to prevent people from accidentally buying something they already kinda own via PS Plus, but it gets annoying when you try to claim it free. However, Sony does let you purchase it if you have a elapsed PS Plus subscription.

      • OzBoganYeah on 24/02/2021 - 15:31

        Are you serious? Do we need to download the free game a sap for it to work or can we still download it at a later date?

        • netsurfer on 24/02/2021 - 15:35
          +1

          You can download later if you want to play it later. However, for someone who owns a physical disc copy of the game (and already installed it on the PS4/PS5), to get the benefit of not needing to insert the disc, download the digital license version of the game is needed.

      Sony did this for Uncharted 4 last year (or was it the year before, can't remember). I collected 3 copies of Uncharted 4 digital versions (3 different regions, AUS, USA, SEA) for free.

      • RocketSwitch on 24/02/2021 - 15:35

      • manbearpig on 24/02/2021 - 15:39

    • John452432543 on 24/02/2021 - 22:25

      Still incredible considering the desert that is Xbox. For $80 per year you get PS Plus' monthly AAA titles and 21 games on the PS+ collection.

    For those who collected this game via PS Plus or PS Plus Collection previously. Try the following link:

    https://store.playstation.com/en-au/category/83ccec1a-8c8e-4…

    Or, go to the PSN store, go through Play At Home.

    Or you the app on your mobile phone, you should be able to purchase it for free. If your PSN account(s) are in a different regions, you will probably still need to wait a few hours.

    Thanks to TezBiAn for pointing it people who collected this via PS Plus can still purchase it free. Good job Sony on this one.

      That could happen when you login to the wrong PSN site. For example, I was trying to claim my 2nd copy of this on my US PSN account and for some reason, it switched to AU PSN link and I was not able to purchase properly.

      Try browser in Incognito mode and visit the Sony PS store that matches your account region. If you had recently used VPN or have multiple PSN accounts, the site could incorrectly send you to the wrong store/link. Or, you could use the link that matches your Sony PS profile (assuming your account is either AU or US).

      AU link: https://store.playstation.com/en-au/category/83ccec1a-8c8e-4…
      US link: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/category/83ccec1a-8c8e-4…
