Playstation Plus (PS+) IGC FAQ
========================

Q: What does IGC stand for?
A: Instant Game Collection. These are the free games you get from having a PS+ subscription.

Q: When the free games expire, would they also expire on my system
A: No- the expiry date for PS+ games only refers to when they will be removed from the service to make room for new ones. Make sure you get them before they're gone! Titles don't come back.

Q: Do I need to download the free games in order to tie them to my account
A: Sort of. You need to at least begin the download if you are adding the games through a console's PS store. Once the game begins to download, you can cancel it immediately or complete the download. Either method will put the game in your download history, allowing you to download it again anytime you like. If adding the games through a PC on the SEN webstore, then there is no need to start the download.

Q: Do I need one PS+ membership for PS3, one for PS4, and one for PS Vita
A: No- Your PS+ membership will get you all the benefits for all 3 platforms, no matter what system you signed up with.

Q: If my PS+ membership expires, can I still keep the free games
A: No- You need an active PS+ membership to continue playing the free games that were offered through PS+. However, any games you bought with the PS+ discount are yours forever, no matter what.

Q: If my PS+ membership becomes inactive, and I activate it again in the future, would I still have the free games I got before
A: Yes- You regain access to everything that you downloaded while you were a PS+ member. Games, themes, avatars, whatever else they give us...

Q: It is Tuesday already, how come I don't see the games listed as free in the PS Store
A: Unfortunately, the PSN store updates are not set for a specific time on Tuesdays. Usually it happens by 6pm, but sometimes it happens as early as 2 pm and as late as 9pm. However, if you search for the specific free game, it may appear as free or discounted before the store actually updates.

Q: If I purchase a game on sale and I am a PS+ member and get the PS+ price, do I fully own that game or does it also de-activate with my membership?
A: If you paid for the game, whether it was on PS+ sale price or not, you will fully own it even if your PS+ membership expires.
For example, you have an active PS+ subscription, and you purchased a game that was on sale for PS+ members for $5.99 (sale price of $9.99 for non-PS+ members). A few months later you let your PS+ subscription run out, you will still own the game and be able to play it. (thanks Winkle)

Q: What are the different ways I can use to tie a free game to my account?
A:
1. On a PS3:
Both PS3 and PS Vita games can be added through the PS Store by starting the game download (download may be cancelled afterwards to save hard drive space and bandwidth).

2. On a PS Vita:
PS Vita games can be added through the PS Store by starting the game download (download may be cancelled afterwards to save hard drive space and bandwidth).

3. On a PS4:
Similar to on a PS3 (PS4 owners please confirm)

4. On the SEN Store website:
Both PS3 and PS Vita games can be added through this website https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com. You will need to go through the whole checkout process by first adding them to cart and then "purchase" them through checkout.

(You may check the download list to confirm that you have successfully tied the game to your account)

Q: Do I need a PS+ membership to play online?
A: Only on the PS4. Playing online on the PS3 and PS Vita is free.
You just proved signatures work!

Now who would go and edit my signature for no valid reason, especially as it never violated any of the posted terms.... :lol:

No Muramasa for North America :( Oh well, we still get Puppeteer. I've always wanted to pick up Limbo as well.

Might get Muramasa in NA in June... Europe got PES2014 and Puppeteer for April and we're getting them in May.

Great.
More junk for the PS4.
Nice doorstop this system is becoming Sony!!!
Even though I've already finished the game, they should offer something like Killzone (oldest & cheapest PS4 game) or that 4hr long $14.99 Assassins Creed Digital Download game.
It would be a great incentive for new PS4 owners to jump on board, now that we're at the 6 month mark and MS is now including a free game with their system.

That's what I'm hoping too. But there are a bunch of other games that Europe got that NA never got like Far Cry 3, Metal Gear Rising, and Sly Cooper.

Too bad... I picked it up for the Vita last year on a whim and its one of my favorite games for that system by far.

Very good month for me, personally. Missed out on Limbo during the last sale (downloaded the demo to try out and everything), and passed on Puppeteer I knew I wouldn't have time for it and would probably see it in IGC pretty soon.

Will be nice to try out Skullgirls too.

Exact same! I was reluctant to even open the Limited Edition when I scored one during last year's E3 before FS went out of stock, but boy am I glad I did. Games like Muramasa is exactly what the system needs more of.

First time I've heard someone complain that the free games are too good, and would rather see older/cheaper games become free. :lol:

If you want old, cheap games for free, and on a less frequent basis, shouldn't you get Xbox Live? ;)

Some people... will never learn to appreciate what they have...

Sony does not need to give incentive to sell PS4, they are outselling the Xbone even without any free games...

People on the PS blog are complaining like no tomorrow. I guess you're gonna if you own most/all of the games, but still, it's free so I don't get how anybody can ***** . If you buy a game, you risk the chance of it becoming available for a cheaper price, or even free, at some point. That's just the *****ing truth.

I love this month for Puppeteer alone. Was close to buying it but waited. Looks like some other enjoyable games that I wouldn't normally pick up unless they were cheap anyway. So win win for me. Just wish we got Sly Cooper instead of the soccer game.

Anyone know the trade-in value of Puppeteer? I've got a physical copy sitting in my backlog
