Well, this is all rather novel and exciting, isn't it? Sony has launched the inaugural Vote to Play competition on the PlayStation 4, allowing you to choose your next PlayStation Plus freebie. The poll – which can be accessed via the What's New app at the present, but will presumably also appear in the PlayStation Store – includes written and video intel on each candidate, and is impressively implemented.
All you need to do is pick the game that you like most, and then hit the submit button. You can change at any time, so there's no pressure if you make a mistake, though keep in mind that the ballot boxes will be locked tight on 24th August at 08:30AM PT (that's 17:30PM BST if you're in the UK). Our survey showed that Grow Home is most likely to win, with 45 per cent of you voting for Ubisoft Reflections' platformer – but will the rest of the PlayStation community agree with you?

The race is on!
Kay imma this when I get home
I saw the Playstation Blog post about this earlier this morning and thought "Oh cool! I'll vote now!" Haha no I won't, as you can't do it online for some reason. I'll have to wait till later, when I heap my vote upon the pile already assembled at the feet of Grow Home.
Ubisoft will win
GROW HOME GROW HOME GROW HOME GROW HOME
I will not be voting. Down with the government.
@stevie85 You rebel, you.
@get2sammyb Somebody has to make a stand lol.
Looking at Steam
Grow Home $7.99 USD
Armello (was early access but will be) $19.99 USD
Zombie Viking $?.?? USD
Why does it seem like everyone out there wants Sony to pay for the cheaper game?
Then we will have people complaining that they would have rather just bought Grow Home as they are planning on canceling PS+.
It is also looking like Grow Home may come with the least amount of play time.
Doesn't Sammy always say PS+ is good for bringing games to the masses that most people wouldn't have tried otherwise.
Looking at the list Grow Home is the only game I see most people willing to purchase out of pocket.
@Malouff I don't think people have been looking at the prices to be honest. I just picked the game I'd like to get for free... shrugs
@get2sammyb You can change your vote, can't you?
Not in the vote for this site of course but the official Sony one (I heard that you could but maybe they changed it).
@Malouff Yeah, you can change at any point prior to the cut-off date.
Thinking about it Armello is probably the only game that could shine on the Playstation Platform if the devs implemented it.
Grow Home could use the speaker, accelerometer, & light bar
However, I don't foresee them using anything.
Zombie Viking I see they only using the light bar for player colors for couch co-op.
Armello if it is also a couch co-op I could see it using Second Screen to hide your cards and resources from friends & family members. It could help Sony push the use of their apps.
It could also play card animations, dice roll sounds out the dual shock 4's speaker & could use the light bar for couch co-op or for health or similar in single player.
Has anyone else played Transistor with the dual shock 4's speaker option?
It's strange on how much more that option added to the game.
Vote for Armello you fools! Grow home is good but it's cheap and short and I already own it on PC... >_>
@ohhaime On, this sites vote I went with the masses and voted for Grow Home.
After, some research I agree with you.
1) Grow Home is cheap
2) Grow Home is short
Armello is the only one that has potential.
How many 4 player brawlers games like Zombie Viking will there be in the PS4's lifespan?
It's not that unique on the PS3 we had Scott Pilgrim, Castle Crashers, etc.,
Grow Home <3
@get2sammyb Did PushSquare get any review codes for any of the games we can vote for?
If you did can you post reviews before voting ends?
If not & the staff owns the PC counterpart can you review them?
Armello for sure
Vote 100% going to Grow Home, for me it looks the most interesting and I've heard very good things from those that played it on PC.
Armello and Zombie Vikings do look interesting too though, just not quite my thing
The thing that sucks about this is the fact that people are gonna be PO'd about seeing the chance to get the game they want for free, but that game not being picked. It'd be a much better fan service if you got to choose which of the three you got, instead of voting for the game ever PS+ member gets. It just seems like a much fairer solution for everybody involved.
"None of the above!"
I'm not against indies, but not interested in any of these.
I voted for Armello but it was in last place at the time of my vote.
Grow Home seems to have a solid lead. No love for Armello
I really want Armello to win. Not only does it look like the most fun and obviously the most replay potential, but it also looks like it is the game that depends most vitally on being a free playstation plus game for its success. If one of the other games doesn't win I can buy it and play it. But a board game obviously needs other players and I can't buy the game for other people.
Zombie Vikings!
Stick it to the man was great, I'll probably get Zombie Vikings even if it doesn't win.
Man, they all look good. But I'm going to Grow Home.
These games really aren't equal in price. Would you like a sports car for free, a Ford Escort for free or a Robin Reliant for free? And everyone votes for the Robin Reliant.
@Squiggle55 I agree after speaking with the Armello on Twitter it is a single player experience vs bots or multi-player online. Armello did not implement a second screen feature for couch co-op.
I also agree this game could benefit the most from PS+ as most would not be willing to purchase this game outright like they would with Grow Home & Zombie Vikings.
@Matroska
Actually both Armello & Zombie Vikings will be the same price $19.99. Grow Home will most likely be the cheapest if it follows Steam Pricing $7.99
