PlayStation 4 debuts budget Hits range

SONY is introducing a permanent lower-tier price band for some of the PlayStation 4’s biggest hits — “Uncharted 4,” “Ratchet & Clank,” “Little Big Planet 3” and a dozen more — expanding the line-up from Japan to cover North America and Europe.

For example, a massively insane selection of best-selling PlayStation 4 games are being relaunched under the PlayStation Hits banner, each priced at an affordable US$19.99 (RM80).

Titles in the PlayStation Hits range vary by region, with North American and European territories having 11 in common at launch: “Bloodborne,” “Driveclub,” “inFamous Second Son,” “Killzone Shadow Fall,” “The Last of Us Remastered,” “LittleBigPlanet 3,” “Project CARS,” “Ratchet & Clank,” “Street Fighter V,” “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End” and “Yakuza 0.”

Others, like “Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag,” “Dragon Ball Xenoverse,” two “Need for Speed” games and “Rayman Legends” pop up on the list of European launch titles, while “Battlefield 4,” “Metal Gear Solid V: Definitive Edition” and “Yakuza Kiwami” make it into the North American roster.

Similar budget schemes have existed on each of Sony’s previous PlayStation home consoles, referred to as a Greatest Hits (North America), Platinum or Essentials (Europe), The Best (Japan) or BigHit Series (South Korea) depending upon the region. — Relaxnews
