The PlayStation 4 is coming to the UK and Europe on Novemeber 29th. That’s just less than a month before Christmas and supplies are already said to be running short thanks to a healthy pre-order period that has seen over a million people commit to a next-gen PlayStation purchase already.
But what will you be playing? Well, Sony has released the full list of games that will be released in the first month as well as their methods of distribution. RRP is going to be set at £54.99 so we’ll cross our fingers and hope for some retailer competition on those prices.
Don’t forget that Playroom comes pre-installed (but you might need that camera if they don’t reverse their decision not to pack it in the box) and if you’re subscribed to PlayStation Plus you’ll also be able to download a version of DriveClub to play, for free, too.
Here’s the full list, what are you planning on picking up?
- Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag (Blu-ray/digital)
- Basement Crawl (digital)*
- Battlefield 4 (Blu-ray/digital)
- Blacklight (digital)*
- Call of Duty: Ghosts (Blu-ray/digital)
- Contrast (digital)
- DC Universe Online (digital)
- Doki-Doki Universe (digital)
- DriveClub (Blu-ray/digital)*
- FIFA 14 (Blu-ray/digital)
- Flower (digital)
- Hohokum (digital)
- Just Dance 2014 (Blu-ray/digital)
- Killzone: Shadow Fall (Blu-ray/digital)*

- Lego Marvel Superheroes (Blu-ray/digital)
- Madden NFL 25 (Blu-ray/digital)
- Minecraft (digital)
- N++ (digital)*
- NBA Live (Blu-ray/digital)

- Super Motherload (digital)

All titles marked with an asterisk are exclusives (at least for a time). Some, like Warframe and War Thunder are console exclusives but available on PC too. Many, like Hohokum and Doki Doki Universe, are available on PS3 and Vita too.

can you show which ones are exclusives please? A nice list, not too shabby, pretty similar to the Xbox One really.
Peter Chapman
good idea, I’ll go through the list and mark them now (come back in 15 minutes!)

That’s better than the first 3 months of PS3 titles!
Watch Dogs, Killzone and Driveclub for me.
Roynaldo
Me too and thinking about blacklight and assassins creed.

Killzone, resogun, watchdogs and driveclub for me, BF4 will have to be PC.

Great news about DriveClub being free! That was one of the first ones I was going to buy.
Others I’ll be getting (eventually) are Killzone, Madden NFL 25, NFS Rivals, COD Ghosts and Assassin’s Creed Black Flag.

You also get Resogun, the full game, for free as part of PS+ during the launch period and every PS4 purchase will come with 14 days free PS+.

Whaaaatttt!!!! Mind explodes…

Yup, Resogun and DriveClub(limited ed.) can be downloaded using the 14 day free PS+ trial with every new PS4 purchase…..obviously the games will only have activation during PS+ membership so no better incentive for subscribing as a fully fledged Plusser (gopping word :P)

Very nice list.
And you’ll have at least 5 games to play when you get a PS4 with PS+:
– Playroom
– ResoGun (ps+)
– DriveClub (ps+)
– War Thunder (f2p)
– DC Universe Online (f2p)
Not bad at all if you ask me :)
And the release is just one day before my birthday :D
Bilbo_bobbins
thats bloody brilliant to be honest.

You don’t need PS+ to play DC Universe Online and War Thunder, they’re F2P. Unlike Microsoft, Sony aren’t putting F2P games or subscription based games (like Elder Scrolls Online) behind their Plus paywall.

So the RRP has gone up too then! Thought there was going to be no price increase this gen?? With that in mind I’m sticking to just getting WatchDogs. May upgrade DriveClub if the free version is any good. That’ll allow me to play againt my Bro in Oz.

I think between this list and the IGC on PS3 and Vita, it can certainly get through the post-launch lull – MS seems to be deserting the 360 as fast as possible though, or at least that’s the impression I’m getting. Perhaps another year of COD-map exclusivity and World of Tanks is good enough for 360
Dan Jones
Killzone Shadow Fall will probably be my first game.
yiddo
Same here.
What a line up though. A plethora of well varied games.
