Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced to offer ‘Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection’ and ‘Journey’ for free as part of its Play At Home Initiative, which will give PS4 users two free games regardless of whether they are PlayStation Plus subscribers or not.
This offer also includes a $10 million creative fund for indie developers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
PS4 owners can claim both Journey and Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, which includes the first three entries in Nathan Drake’s adventure: Drake’s Fortune, Among Thieves, and Drake’s Deception. The offer will be starting on April 15 and ending on May 5. You don’t have to pay for anything, and the games are “yours to keep” after the games are redeemed through the PlayStation Store.

This is part of Sony’s effort to help contain the spread of COVID-19, as it is encouraging people to continue with social distancing and stay at home playing video games.
“During these days of physical distancing, fans have turned to gaming for moments of respite and enjoyment,” Jim Ryan CEO Sony Interactive Entertainment, said in a blog post.
“As a thank you to all who are doing their part to lessen the impact of this pandemic, Sony Interactive Entertainment is pleased to announce the Play At Home initiative,” Ryan added.
The selection of free titles is the same worldwide except in China and Germany. Those two countries will instead have access to Knack 2 and Journey.
Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection was released in 2015 and includes the first three Uncharted titles. Journey was released in 2012.
Noting that India has embarked on the journey towards a 'Viksit Bharat', External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday said the country has to be ready for the era of AI, chips, electric mobility, clean and green technologies, renewable energy, space and drones.
The global press has recently taken notice of a newly released game titled ‘Black Myth: Wukong’. This game has taken the world by storm and even pushed the popular gaming platform Steam to reach its highest concurrent user count of 37 million.
