‘Zombi’ is Free for PS Plus Members Next Month

By Adam Dodd on March 30, 2016

Sony has announced the next batch of games that will be free for PS Plus subscribers next month, and much like April’s Games with Gold offering, it’s bringing something special for horror fans. The half dozen titles are split evenly among the PlayStation Trinity, with I Am Alive and Savage Moon for PS3, Dead Star and Zombi for PS4, and A Virus Named Tom and Shutshimi for the PS Vita.

Originally a Wii U launch title — when we called it ZombiU — Ubisoft’s post-apocalyptic survival horror game lost some of its magic when it came to the PC, PS4 and Xbox One in August. Critical parts of the game, like the inventory and multiplayer, relied on the Wii U’s GamePad in ways that couldn’t be replicated as well on traditional controllers.

Zombi isn’t the “definitive” edition it needed to be, but it the added polish and small amount of bonus content it brings sort of makes up for that.
