PlayStation Plus Is Securing Some Huge New Free Games

It looks as if PlayStation Plus subscribers could be in for a big - if decidedly spooky - win when the overhauled service lands next month.

If you've been paying attention, you'll know that we're just a few weeks away from the arrival of the all-new PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium tiers. And yet, to the frustration of so many, we still have no idea exactly which games to expect from each tier.

There have been vague promises of old AAA favourites and classic PS1/PS2-era games, sure. But outside of a handful of leaks and the occasional renewed trademark, we've had nothing concrete just yet

While we still don't have anything too solid, a new document dating back to April 18 of this year (thanks, Push Square) seems to suggest that a number of games from horror studio Bloober Team could be making their way to the overhauled PlayStation Plus.

The paperwork (translated from Polish) references a “significant license and distribution agreement with Sony Interactive Entertainment” and specifically mentions “select” Bloober Team titles being made available as part of a “new distribution system”. As Push Square points out, that sounds a heck of a lot like PlayStation Plus Extra and/or Premium, which will offer "up to 400 of the most enjoyable PS4 and PS5 games", according to Sony.

“[Bloober Team] will inform about the details, including the release dates, in separate reports,” the documentation concludes.

Horror fans will be familiar with Bloober Team through its work on a number of recent horror games, including Layers Of Fear, Observer, Blair Witch, and The Medium. It's also heavily rumoured that the studio is working on the recently leaked Silent Hill reboot, which could even mean the new Silent Hill finds its way on the new PlayStation Plus. That'd be a big win for subscribers, to be sure.

Take all this with the regular pinch of salt for now. With the new PlayStation Plus just around the corner, we're hoping Sony and Bloober Team will have more to share very soon.
