PlayStation gamers surprised with free August download, no PS Plus needed

PlayStation is rewarding players with a cosy reward for playing some of its cosiest games, don’t miss out.

If you’re familiar with PlayStation Stars you’ll probably know the drill by now, the rewards program gives players the chance to earn in-store credit and digital collectables purely from playing games.

Borderlands 4 was announced during last night’s Gamescom Opening Night Live! Check it out below

The games you’re tasked with playing include high-stakes competitive shooters, farming-sim titles, the latest PlayStation Plus additions and many more.

This time around though it’s the cosy games that are getting their time to shine, those titles that you can stick on after a long day of work to wind down and relax from a busy day.

If you play one of four cosy titles you’ll be rewarded with the Flower Power Throw Pillows, a digital collectable that you can’t actually do anything with, but it’d look decent on your shelf.

So what games do you have to play to earn this reward? Well the list includes Planet Of Lana, Mystic Pillars- Remastered, Goodbye Volcano High, and A Tale Of Paper.

Now to be honest I’ve never played any of these games, but they all sound lovely and I’ve heard very good things about Planet Of Lana, so maybe check that one out first.

If you’re looking for an easy win though, Mystic Pillars- Remastered is currently available for those subscribed to PlayStation Plus Extra, so unless you want to buy and play the other titles I’d go for that one for the challenge.

Again you can’t do anything with the pillows, but if you just like collecting things then it’s a pretty easy challenge for you to undertake, and might get you hooked on some new games.

Be sure to check PlayStation Stars regularly though, as the real prize are the challenges that give you PlayStation points to redeem for in-store credit.
