If you weren't too happy about getting Sonic Forces for free with your PlayStation Plus subscription this month, look away now. Those residing in Japan and southeast Asia have been given Monster Hunter: World as part of their membership throughout March and April, making us extremely jealous in the process.
What's more, subscribers get 40% off the Monster Hunter World: Iceborne expansion for PlayStation 4 too, meaning they can get the entire experience at a much cheaper price. That's a lot better than Sonic Forces, isn't it? To be fair, Shadow of the Colossus gives the Capcom title a very good run for its money, but we most certainly wouldn't have said no to two free wonderful PS4 games for the month of March 2020.
Would you rather have taken Monster Hunter: World for free? Debate in the comments below.

Oh, I would have happily taken that!
Without question. MH:W is in my wish list!
Ironically MH:W would be a better choice for western audiences, who may not otherwise try the game.
MH is already massive in the East and its likely many who wanted to play, already have
I already own it so I'm fine, but it was also my goty that year, so wish more people could play it. 40% of the expansion would be nice.
I want my, but not sure if I will like it hopefully they give us it in a few months, and I totally forgot about shadow will download that l8r, did try we happy few but it got annoying after a while so stoped playing that 4 now, also tempted to get star wars.
I'd love MHW but glad I got SotC. Two great games. Hopefully we get MHW next!!
Yeah I definitely would have taken MH:W for free! I’ve never played that series but I’d be interested in it for free. I have no desire to play Sonic Forces...
Definitely would have preferred this. I really don't understand why they gave Sonic Forces over this.
Played the trial of monster hunter world & wasn't my cup of tea so I'm not fussed
Already own MHW, so this works better for me.
Never played a MH, closest I got was with mgs peace walker, so this would have been cool. But having said that, I have MORE than enough to keep me going for a long, long time. This would only add to the backlog.
I have monster hunter on the PC but not the PS4 and I mostly play on TV / Controller these days. Monster Hunter World would have been enough for me to get a three months PS+ membership for sure. Sonic forces.....Not
Guessing that the download numbers are gonna be bad for sonic.
remember when gravity rush was on ps plus and still hasent made it here, maybe i should buy japan ps plus next time
Yes but does it have Vector the Crocodile?
Didn't think so.
Nothing against Sonic, but I feel like customer in restaurant that gets leftovers from another (jpn) table. 😢
No excuse not to try this game for those who own it.
I already own and have sunk about 100 hours into MHW. I actually even just bought a copy for a friend, so we could hunt together! Course, if we had it for March's ps+, I would've saved some money...
I wouldn't consider that better than Sonic. MH is stupid
Doesn't really bother me tbh. I don't really like Monster Hunter and I got Sonic Forces on launch day. But if I had neither, I'd have been fine with Forces. Is it lackluster? Yes. But there's still fun to be had somewhere.
In Asia (i live in Malaysia) we got Shadow and Sonic for PS plus and now Monster Hunter for free. It was not part of the original ps plus lineup. It was a separate lineup for us. So we got 3 games. Monster Hunter was only freely available recently for us.
@glenny3214 Come on, Glenny, buddy. Monster Hunter is awesome and has a lovely community 😁 Hoping you could give it a whirl someday
What the actual hell, I already have the game but everyone around the globe pays the same prices for ps plus and yet some are treated better than others? Nah I'm done with PlayStation after this, was going to get a ps5 but reckon I'll just end up on pc now. Tilted over this
