Sony has announced PSN Day 1 Digital, a program that offers titles for download on PlayStation Network the same day they’re available at retail. The program will launch on October 2nd, but players can pre-order games before they become available and PlayStation Plus members will get a 10% discount.
The following games have been announced for the program so far:
- Resident Evil 6 (October 2 - $59.99)
- NBA 2K13 (October 2 - $59.99/$53.99 for Plus members, with pre-order)*
- Dishonored (October 9 - $59.99/$53.99 for Plus members, with pre-order)*
- Doom 3: BFG Edition (October 16 - $39.99/$35.99 for Plus members, with pre-order)*
- 007 Legends (October 16 - $59.99, 10% off week one for Plus members)
- Medal Of Honor Warfighter (October 23 - $59.99)
- Need For Speed: Most Wanted (October 30 - $59.99/$53.99 for Plus members, with pre-order)*
- Assassin’s Creed III (October 30 - $59.99)*
* = Available for pre-order
“Our upcoming PSN Day 1 Digital lineup in October is exceptional and demonstrates our commitment to delivering the best games to the devoted PlayStation community as soon as they’re available,” said SCEA digital platforms senior director Jack Buser. “Additionally, with our new PlayStation 3 models on the horizon offering up to 500GB of storage, there’s never been a better time to experience PS3 games digitally through PSN.”
This strategy has been in place since day one on Vita, and Sony just recently made Borderlands 2 available on PSN day 1. In that case, the game wasn’t available at midnight, launching later in the day instead when the PlayStation Store was updated.
There’s no word on if midnight releases will be a part of PlayStation’s digital pre-order future, but read what we want in a PlayStation Store redesign for that feature and more that we’d like to see Sony add.
