"Later in 2014" is the official date .  As others have said, it'll be when there's more of a catalog to choose from and probably after the launch games have stopped selling and all the DLC is out for them.

Killer Instinct is free...but you can only play as one guy unless you drop some cash. There is also a Kinect Sports game that allows players to race a jet ski around a single track for now, but more content, presumably the paid kind, will be available in the near future.

 Yeah I downloaded Killer Instinct but it said you wont get any achievements or LB without giving money,I turned it right off. Would rather spend money on a car pack on FM5 for cars weve already bought before...twice! Which is why Ive not done that either!

 Hey lucky PS4 owners are getting Outlast for FREE with PS+. While we XBone owners still get nothing,even though we paid ya know...an extra 100 fuckin bucks. All my XBone has done is turn into an expensive paperweight,collecting dust.

as much of an xbox apologist as I am, they really have not given the Games With Gold as good a value proposition as Sony has done with Plus.  

PS4, I can play Don't Starve, Resogun and Contrast for free (and I think some version of Killzone Shadowfall), which is a nice perk, as I probably wouldn't buy any of those games.  Even on the 360, they offer up old games and I haven't yet downloaded a single one.  

I think there is supposed to be an announcement soon - my guess would be Crimson Dragon for free starting in June.  angry

Agreed.  Though the difference of note is once you get the Gold game, it's yours forever whether you let your subscription lapse or not.

 Resogun was highly praised by critics and Outlast just seems interesting to me. If M$ made us wait till June for Crimson Dragon I would shit the bed,cant say for certain,but probly the worst selling/rated game for XBone.

Hang on....even though I do agree that PS4 folks have gotten a better deal on "freebies" than Xbox One early adopters - the PS4 doesn't get use of all those games from the PS3 library and when they release new free games on PSN - the PS3 gets 3-6 and the PS4 - just one or two. Usually one. So you Xbox One guys don't feel too bad about it. 

 

That said, I'm glad I went with the PS4 first - although I'll probably end up with a One eventually, too....
