We should have official word on February's PlayStation Plus games tomorrow, but as of right now, you can pick up Ubisoft's Far Cry 4 for free - that is, if you purchase a year's subscription to Sony's service.
There are a couple of important things to note before you get too excited; this appears to only be available in Europe, and it only works for players who aren't already subscribed. If your interest in PS Plus has waned in recent months, now might be the perfect time to jump back in. A 12 month subscription currently goes for £49.99 / €59.99, but throwing in a meaty Ubisoft open world is definitely a decent incentive.
The offer is available until 12th February at 10:00 GMT, so there's plenty of time to decide if you want to take advantage of it.
What's interesting is that Far Cry 4 was one of the titles touted as a February PS Plus game in that fake image from last week. It could potentially be a response to that, but it's just as likely to be a coincidence. We'll probably never know the answer to that one.

Fingers, toes and eyes crossed for Dark Souls 2.
If this is correct so it means the image wasn't that fake after all, right?
Can't wait to see Sammy's reaction if Dark Souls gets announced tomorrow xD
What a relief that it's not a PS+ game, because I already own FC4
February 12, huh. I'll see what finances I have at that moment, although I'm not holding my breath for a spare 4000 rubles. Other spendings, including game ones, have actually got in my way of renewing a 12 month subscription earlier (I opted for coasting by until summer on two 3-month packs instead), and January/July are usually the peak months for my regular income. Still, thanks for the offer.
So it is free with PS Plus after all
@YummyHappyPills most people like it, so it's a good deal nonetheless
So if I extend my subscription it won’t work?
So no bonus for loyal customers?
@YummyHappyPills I'm gonna bet a million gabillion yen that your reaction to this deal would be negative no matter what is announced. Just a hunch.
Damn!!! If the PS+ leak had been remotely genuine and that both of these would be offered - only that 1 was related to this offer and the other coming as a PS+ free game, I would have preferred to see DS2 being offered with the purchase of a Subscription and FC4 coming as the 'game of the month'.
I don't like the Souls games myself and therefore wouldn't have been disappointed as I already have a PS+ subscription. FC4 would have been added to my download list if it was given free. Its not a game I bought as I lost faith in the franchise after FC2 and wasn't all that bothered about the co-operative stuff - that's also putting me off of FC5. For free though, I would have added it...
Maybe it still will come. Those who subscribe I assume are getting the game free - no strings attached where as PS+ subscribers would only get a conditional licence...
Shame it's not a PS+ game. I loved it, completed it, and sold it on... but I'd take it again for free. I'm already subscribed for another couple of years or so, though.
We're probably not going to get Dark Souls 2, that was just a rumor. Now PS4 is doing these shady tactics giving newcomers free stuff while leaving us with nothing, WE PAID FOR THIS and WE DON"T GET IT. We need to make a big deal about this or else PS will continue to walk all over us and make this even worse.
@bighal Playstation is greedy, they only care about getting new custoemrs. They know as soon as they get new people in (from giving them far cry 4 exclusively) they'll stick around, making them the most money.
If we make a big deal about this, it will be bad for their business and they will be more careful about walking all over us in the future.
Damn i bought this 1 week ago... i hope this is not the offer for ps+... I'm gonna be so sad! 😢
Does the game only work for the duration of your subscription or do you own it and can play it after your subscription expires?
Was hoping this would be in the PS+ this month as I can't find my disc anywhere! I love this game...
