I’ve been meaning to play Mafia 3 since it came out, and now that it’s one of August’s PlayStation Plus games, I might finally do it. As ever, these games are only “free” if you have an active PlayStation Plus subscription.

I've never actually played a David Cage game; I end up watching them on YouTube since they're already so cinematic. Could Heavy Rain's inclusion in July's PS Plus lineup change my trend? (Probably not.) As always, these games are only "free" if you have an active PlayStation Plus subscription.

I've always lacked the patience for XCOM games. Maybe June's PS Plus lineup will encourage me to give XCOM 2 a go, at least until I lose a squad member and quit in sadness yet again. As always, PS Plus games are only "free" if you have an active PS Plus subscription.

If you need some David Cage before Detroit comes out in May, next month's PlayStation Plus lineup has you with Beyond: Two Souls. As ever, these games are only "free" if you have an active PlayStation Plus account.

Last week, Sony announced that the Vita, along with PS3, will stop getting monthly games through the PlayStation Plus subscription service in March 2019. In the wake of that news, it's worth remembering: Vita owners never had an easy go of things, but it would have been a whole lot worse without PlayStation Plus.

If you don't own Bloodborne, you're in luck with March's PlayStation Plus offerings. There are also going to be some changes coming to PS Plus next year.

February's PlayStation Plus lineup has you covered if you missed Rime or, like me, heard the jokes about Knack but never actually played it. As always, these games are only "free" if you have an active PlayStation Plus subscription.

There are some good games in January's PlayStation Plus lineup. In addition to some solid PS4 games with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Telltale's Batman, the PS3 gets The Book of Unwritten Tales 2, and the Vita gets Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness. As always, these games are only "free" if you have an active PlayStation Plus subscription.

There's a range of games in December's PlayStation Plus lineup, from the bloody action of Darksiders 2 to visual novel Xblaze Lost: Memories. As always, these games are only "free" if you have an active PlayStation Plus membership.

I managed to miss Bound when it came out last year, so I'm excited to see it make its way to November's PlayStation Plus lineup. As always, the following games are only "free" if you have an active PlayStation Plus membership.

You can get Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain with your PlayStation Plus membership in October. There's also the Amnesia collection, which has both The Dark Descent and A Machine for Pigs, two games I'm too scared to play.

Infamous: Second Son has always looked pretty cool but I never got around to it, so I'm really excited it's in this month's PS Plus lineup. There's also some extras in this month's lineup, including a free PSVR game. As usual, these games are only free if you have an active PlayStation Plus account.

I'm excited to see Just Cause 3 on August's PS Plus lineup, since I always meant to check it out. There's also Downwell for the Vita with crossbuy on PS4, bringing my total ways to play Downwell to three, which is not nearly enough.

Until Dawn and Game of Thrones headline PlayStation Plus' games lineup this month. July also sees some add-ons in addition to the usual roster of games. As always, these games are only free if you have a PlayStation Plus membership.

If you missed Life is Strange, PlayStation Plus has you covered with June's lineup. You'll also get Killing Floor 2 for PS4. As ever, these games are only "free" if you have an active PlayStation Plus subscription.

There are some cool games available on PS Plus this month. We loved Invisible, Inc., and we had a great time with Stories: The Path of Destinies. Several games are available across platforms, too.

PlayStation Plus members can get Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Costume Quest 2 and several other games for PS4, PS3 and Vita this month. Remember, these games are only "free" if you have an active PlayStation Plus subscription.

Playstation Plus users are looking at a powerhouse month for games in October. If you've never played Resident Evil, there's officially no excuse for missing out on its wonderful remaster.

If you haven't played Journey yet, now's your chance to get it for PS3 and PS4 through PlayStation Plus' September lineup.
