PlayStation Plus Update (8/6): Free Hitman, major discount on Rayman Origins

After a couple of less than impressive weeks, Sony should be winning their PlayStation Plus subscribers back this week with another solid Triple-A title being released for free, and plenty of discounts headlined by the Rayman series.

Hitman: Absolution is another free title from Square Enix, who had Sleeping Dogs for free earlier this year on PS+. The newest edition of Hitman has been available for about $20 everywhere, and was packaged free in a Newegg sale of Tomb Raider earlier this summer.

Free DLC content is also available for Hitman.

Here's the entire list of discounts this week (based off of the PlayStation Blog):

  • EscapeVektor - Regular Price: $9.99 - PSN Sale Price: $4.99 - PS Plus Price: $3.99
  • Wicked Monsters Blast! HD - Regular Price: $9.99 - PSN Sale Price: $4.99 - PS Plus Price: $1.00
  • Superfrog (PS3 and PS Vita Cross Buy) - Regular Price: $9.99 - PS Plus Price: $7.99
  • Rayman Sale
    • Rayman Origins - Regular Price: $19.99 - PSN Sale Price: $9.99 - PS Plus Price: $5.00
    • Rayman 3 HD - Regular Price: $9.99 - PSN Sale Price: $4.99 - PS Plus Price: $2.50
    • Rayman Arena - Regular Price: $9.99 - PSN Sale Price: $4.99 - PS Plus Price: $2.50
    • Rayman 2 Revolution - Regular Price: $9.99 - PSN Sale Price: $4.99 - PS Plus Price: $2.50
    • Rayman 2: The Great Escape - Regular Price: $5.99 - PSN Sale Price: $2.99 - PS Plus Price: $1.50
    • Rayman - Regular Price: $5.99 - PSN Sale Price: $2.99 - PS Plus Price: $1.50

  • That's a 75 percent savings off of everything Rayman for PS+ subscribers. The real steal is Rayman Origins, which I will be buying, for just $5. Those that want to pick up the Vita version will be in luck, as that's also marked down all the way to $6.25 (and the version I'll be getting).

    For those that want to pick up Wicked Monsters Blast! HD, the reviews aren't positive for the family-friendly multiplayer game citing plenty of problems with play control and distinguishing players with the PlayStation Move and subjective content for younger players. Still, for a $1, it might be worth to just try it out.

    Other August additions to the Instant Game Collection will be Bit.Trip Presents: Runner2, Machinarium (PS Vita version), Zen Pinball 2: Star Wars Pinball, and Darkstalkers Chronicle.
