Update: Deal now live, link updated.

As highlighted by Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Journey are to be made available to all PS4 users for free (for limited time only) from Thursday, however by simply setting up a PSN account on the German store you’ll be able to benefit from an additional free game - Knack 2.

The process is very simple and is no different to setting up an account on the US PSN store - once the game is made available for free from 15th April this simply needs to be downloaded for free from the German PSN store, after which the game will be perfectly playable from a UK PSN account.

    i found this on a group forum which may help. Just letting you all know it's rather long with 30 steps to undertake. I will be doing this tomorrow. let me know how you all get on

    1. Create a new user and then create a new PSN profile. Follow the instructions until you need to enter your region.

    2. Choose "Deutschland" (Germany). It is overwritten with "Land oder Region"

    3. Next field is language. I'm not sure, but you might be able to choose english there. If you want to male sure, choose "Deutsch" (german)

    4. Enter your date of birth. First days, then month, last year.

    5. Click on "Weiter" (next)

    6. Choose the "Ort" (town), where you live. Obviously ot has to be a german one. Just write "Lienen". (It's a small village near my hometown.

    7. Next is "Bundesland/Provinz" (approximately equal to states in america like New York or Seattle, for example). Write "NRW" or "Nordrhein-Westfalen".

    8. Now comes the "Postleitzahl" (I'm not sure about the english term, but 'postal code (?)). Write "49536".

    9. Click on "Weiter" again

    10. Now he asks for your Email-adress. Choose one to your liking. Any which isn't already linked to PSN should suffice.

    11. Then enter your "Passwort" (password) of choice and repeat it in the last field.

    12. Leave the checkboxes empty (just marketing) and click on "Weiter".

    13. Finally create your new ID. "Online-ID" is your new ID (as you probably guessed).

    14. Enter your "Vorname" (first name).

    15. Enter your "Nachname" (sur name / family name).

    16. It then asks for "Aktivitäten" (activities). Basically who may see, what you do in PSN. Ignore it.

    17. Next is "Trophäen" (trophies). Who can see which trophies you achieve. Ignore it as well.

    18. Click on "Weiter"

    19. Ignore the next batch of checkboxes as well. They are just the settings for PSN friends.

    20. Click on "Weiter"

    21. Just more settings to follow. "Weiter".

    22. Now you see the "Nutzungsbedingungen" (terms of use). Choose the right option "Akzeptieren" (accept).

    23. Check your Mails and click on the link (blue box "Jetzt verifizieren" (prove now)) inside it to prove your adress.

    24. Now choose the right option "Bereits bestätigt" (Already done/proven)

    25. Click on "Fortfahren" (Go on)

    26. Don't connect to facebook and instead choose the left option "Führe dies später durch" (do it later)

    27. I guess you don't want to enter PS Plus, so click on "Weiter", then "Überspringen"

    28. You are then asked if this is your primary PS4. Click on "Aktivieren" (activate). This way you say it is.

    29. Then it says your information has been saved to this PS4. Say "Ok" (Ok ^^)

    30. Done. You just sucessfully created a german PSN account on your PS4. (edited)

    Uncharted and journey are “poor choices”. This isolation must really be causing cabin fever!

    To make navigation easier Once you have created your account you can go to profile and change the language you speak to English. Go to the Sprachen bit

    According to blog.eu.playstation.com/202…ve/:

    "To support Play At Home, PlayStation will try to make those occasionally dull moments more exciting by offering Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Journey available for free* for a limited time through digital downloads from Thursday 16th April midnight BST / 1am CEST through Wednesday, 6th May midnight BST / 1am CEST.

    Think you may have got it wrong, general consensus seems to be that these games will be to keep so long as they are claimed within the window they are being offered free. Though good they are pretty old games at this point and I think it would be considered pretty miserly of Sony to only offer them for a few weeks then revoke them again.

    The reason I want them via this offer rather than plus is because I am finding ps plus progressively worse value each month. Never been as good since they cut the PS3/Vita stuff IMHO and I want to ditch plus when it runs out later this year and so the less of my games that are dependant upon having PS Plus to play the better...

    You need to set up a new account (if you don't already have one) on the German store directly, you then download and install the game from that account, once done log back in to your usual UK account as you normally would to play the game etc.

    Nice deal, but only for the casual gamers out there as both have been free on ps plus. I wonder what other free games will be available after 5th May? I bought journey on ps3 originally and still haven’t completed it! I think now its time.

    I'm not sure if you'll even have to make a German PSN account. The PlayStation Store has had the functionality to swap between any European storefront (at least on the console anyway) for a while now.

    Might be worth trying to do that when the promotion goes live so that it's tied to your main account instead of some makey upper email address.

    Go to the PlayStation Store on console and scroll down to "Storefront Country" and you can change it there.
