PSN Asia has revealed their IGC line-up for April 2015, all games will be claimable on 9th and will stay for a month until May 6th. As usual the line-up is a mix of new IGC (the same with the others region), old IGC, and out of nowhere IGC. Let's check the list:

• PS3 MouseCraft

• Vita OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood

As you see above, PS3 only get two games, the least from all of them. So you might be dissappointed if you only have PS3 console. Anyway if you subscribe now, even with the 30 days subscription, you will be eligible to claim both the games above and all these games below (which are going to expire next week, on the same time the new games are live)

We think this is not a great month being a PS Plus member, we hope the sales are more exciting.

Also, we apologise we are skipping the Spring Fever #5 in US PSN, simply because the sale is not interesting to us, since most of the item offered are DLCs. Nevertheless if you'd like to check by yourself, they have Batman games on lower price. See it here.

At last! This is your March 2015 Asian PS Plus IGC. No OlliOlli for Asian PS Plus members though.

UPDATE: We forgot to list Woah! Dave as an IGC for PS Vita. Now it has been added.

Asian PSN at last revealed Instant Game Collection for their PS Plus subscribers all around the world. The line-up is a combination of old and new PS+ IGC, meaning there are nothing new from HK PSN, and they are just trying to keep up with the other region, which is not a bad thing.

The notable title that is absent is OlliOlli, where the prequel is offered in JP PS Plus IGC, and the sequel is on EU/US PS Plus IGC. However, seeing that HK PSN is always trying to catch up with everyone else, we think the title will come in a month or two. Without further ado, see the list for March 2015 Asian PSN IGC below:

• PS4 Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty
• PS4 Valiant Hearts: The Great War
• PS4 CounterSpy

• PS3 Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition
• PS3 Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut

Note for Vita/PSTV users, Switching between regions on PS Vita requires a separate Vita Memory Card involving a factory reset on Vita devices. So if your PSN account on your Vita currently is not HK PSN and you are feeling that there is too much hassle to switch, perhaps it is better to wait until the title you want is being offered in your region. Nobody knows when though. If you don't mind switching region, Kotaku has written a detailed tutorial on how to change PSN region on PS Vita, you can check it.

Games you are going to miss out if you are not a Plus member yet! (EXPIRED)

UPDATE: Last month's IGC has expired.

If you are still waiting for the March 2015 Instant Game Collection list and looking for any info about it anywhere -just like us-, then you're still out of luck. It seems PSN US/EU will announce the games tomorrow or even at the day when game list updates (March 3rd), which practically made US/EU PSN in the same league with PSN Asia/JP in revealing game list.

If you haven't noticed, PSN US/EU usually reveal the free to play games for the Plus members up to one week before the store updates. In this case it should have been revealed around February 24th. PSN Asia normally on the first day at the week when the updates happening, and this means tomorrow. And the last PSN to reveal their list is PSN Japan, which usually only reveal the full list in up to two days before the day of update. Although two of the titles for JP PSN is already leaked.

Well we try not to dwell into this matter too much. Let's hope each PSN give us the best games to enjoy. And before that, check these games that you will miss out if you are not a Plus subscriber and haven't claim them yet:

These games are in English
PS4 Transistor US/UK/HK
PS4 Apotheon US/UK
PS4 Escape Plan HK
PS4 Strider Hiryu JP

*PSTV compatibility info is taken directly from PSN. Normally only HK/JP PSN provide this information, while US/EU PSN aren't. Some titles from US/EU PSN might be PSTV compatible but you need to try it yourself.

If you are not a Plus member yet, and want to claim a certain game(s) you can purchase Plus membership, go here for US, UK, HK, or JP.
30 days membership starts at $10 for PSN US, or $8.8 for PSN UK, or $5 for PSN HK, or $4.3 for PSN JP.

And I still recommend that now is the best time to subscribe Plus, since you are eligible to claim the February 2015 IGC, and eligible to get March 2015 IGC as well, and have some times to play them. Remember that you need to manually claim them though.

Please note that unlike on PS4 and PS3, switching between PSN region on PS Vita system requires factory reset of your Vita console and separate Vita Memory Card. Kotaku has written a detailed tutorial on how to change PSN region on PS Vita. If you think this is too much hassle, perhaps it is better to wait until the game is being offered in your region.

If you are wondering how to create four PSN region accounts for yourself, read our guide on how to set up all four PSN accounts straight from your PC. The registration is free and open to everyone everywhere in the world, not limited to any nationality or place you live, you can also check the FAQ if you are in doubt. 

You can start topping-up your account with codes purchased from play-asia to anticipate future deals. See also our guide on how to top up your account from PC.

Purchase 1 Year of Plus membership and get cash back

For gamers who are looking to play online on their PS4 console.

Are you looking to purchase Plus membership to play your PS4 games online? Read on, HK PSN is celebrating Chinese New Year by giving HK$38 (US$4.9) cash-back if you purchase their 1 year PS Plus membership. And why you should be excited for this, well... Asian PSN has the world's cheapest 12-months PS Plus membership fee.

Rather than paying US$49.99 in US PSN or even more expensive in UK/EU PSN, HK PSN only need HK$268 (US$34.5) for enjoying the online features of your PS4 games. In addition, you are eligible to play for free some PS4 games that is made available to claim each month, if you are interested in playing game for free, that is.

So combined with the US$4.9 cash-back, you will end-up only paying $29.6 for 365 days of online gaming, how is that not awesome? Or you can see it as paying $34.5 for one year online gaming and end up having $4.9 price cut in your HK PSN account when purchasing the next PS Plus membership, and that means just a shy US$64.1 for 2 years of PS4 online gameplay. For comparison, US PSN is charging you almost $100 for 2 years of online gameplay and UK PSN even charges you US$123 for same period of time.

So without further ado, here is the link:

HK PSN 12-months PS Plus $34.5

Some PSN sale updates. (EXPIRED)

UK/EU PSN

NBA2K15 and its DLCs are the deal this week, however the price for PS4 version is US$54, which is a shame since US PSN offer the exact same game at US$40 (or even $30 from a third party seller), you can check them in our last post here. The DLC are not compatible with each other's stores though, so make sure you purchase DLCs in the store you purchased the game. If you still want to get something from UK/EU PSN, the COD titles, and Digital Discount part 2 that was offered a week ago is still the better deal. Don't forget this weekend UK/EU PSN members can have a free multiplayer for their PS4.

HK PSN

There is a "Great" Chinese New Year Deal in Asian PSN. Which is, a bunch of Chinese-only Dynasty Warrior DLCs and 2 Japanese-only games. The games are Atelier Rorona Plus for US$31.5 (PS3) and US$25 (Vita version), and Toukiden Kiwami (Vita) for US$38.5. You can check the games here. You can also check the Dynasty Warrior DLCs on sale here.

JP PSN

Japanese PSN has only one sale update, which is Never Alone (PS4) that is currently being offered for US$10.1 (currently $15 in US PSN). This is a western indie game and usually they still have the English language intact, but we have not personally tested it yet so we can't confirm it. Other than that, the game Idolmasters One for All are getting DLCs priced down. If you are fans of Super Robot Wars, you can check the sale of Super Robot Taisen Z, however don't expect the price to be jaw-dropping.

Confused how to make a purchase from PSN webstore? Read our guide.

Once again, before you purchase any DLC, make sure that your DLC and game's region is the same region. In addition, switching between regions on PS Vita requires a separate Vita Memory Card involving a factory reset on Vita devices. So if your PSN account on your Vita currently is not US PSN and you are feeling that there is too much hassle to switch, perhaps it is better to wait until the title you want is being offered in your region. Nobody knows when though. If you don't mind switching region, Kotaku has written a detailed tutorial on how to change PSN region on PS Vita, you can check it.

We post this as information and we are not recommending you to join each PSN store's Plus membership as it may be expensive. If you do want to claim the games though you can purchase Plus membership, go here for US, UK, HK, or JP.
30 days membership starts at $10 for PSN US, or $8.8 for PSN UK, or $5 for PSN HK, or $4.3 for PSN JP.


Like I said above, if you become a member now, you will be eligible to claim both January and February IGC games, you need to manually claim them though. PSN US and EU already announced their January line-up and next week and the line-up is solid for PS4 and PS3, expect PSN HK and JP announce their s next week.

If you are wondering how to create four PSN region accounts for yourself, read our guide on how to set up all four PSN accounts straight from your PC. The registration is free and open to everyone everywhere in the world, not limited to any nationality or place you live, you can also check the FAQ if you are in doubt. 

You can purchase top-ups for your account from sites such as play-asia or cdkeys or pcgamesupply. See also our guide on how to top up your account from PC.

Please note that unlike on PS4 and PS3, switching between PSN region on PS Vita system requires factory reset of your Vita console and separate Vita Memory Card. Kotaku has written a detailed tutorial on how to change PSN region on PS Vita. If you think this is too much hassle, perhaps it is better to wait until the game is being offered in your region.
