About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
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.

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.

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!

it's ready to download. we get the soundtrack too.
Dunkey would be proud.
Cheers Op, I enjoyed Knack (yes really) so am looking forward to 2.
Just checked via laptop and there is a message there-
'You can browse other storefronts but some content may be restricted. You can only make purchases from your home country storefront.'
Cheers Joey (y)!
I'd give this Knack out of 10. Game of the Year.
It's also Knack 2.
Neeeever gets old
It's better than the 1st
They're all yours to keep if you 'buy' them within the promo period.
to update on you all. i just set it up It Works
Seems its tomorrow for knack 2.ready and waiting
Lienen, DE population according to PSN accounts: 10 million
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. Once you redeem the games, they are yours to keep."
Ah well German account it is
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...
glad to help you and everyone. i played a little last night and was pleasantly surprised. i haven't played the first one yet but will grab a copy after completing this one
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.
Think you have to go into your German account and state that your PS4 is your main PS4 for that account.
It is that good!

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.
It might not work but if it does it'll be a hell of a lot easier than making an extra account. (edited)
Thank you.
Managed to go through and is now downloading.
Thanks! but I think I did a step wrong since the instructions didn't match 100% with my console!
Managed to create an account but when I try to sign in it says: cannot sign in using another players sign in ID
Anyone know how to fix this?
Edit: nevermind, sorted and downloading 👌 (edited)
