Sony has delighted PlayStation Plus subscribers with a surprise announcement: the upcoming “Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions” game will be available for free on its launch day. This marks the first major response from Sony to Microsoft’s Game Pass ‘Day One’ initiatives, stirring excitement among the gaming community.
Anticipation Builds for More Free Games on PS Plus
Following the successful release of “Hogwarts Legacy” last year, which became one of Steam’s most played games, there is high anticipation around the new “Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions.” Developed by Unbroken Studios and distributed by Warner Bros, this game focuses on one of the integral parts of the Harry Potter universe — Quidditch.
Sony announced that the game would be accessible without additional costs to PS Plus members starting on its release date, September 3, 2024. This approach by Sony aims to enhance the value of its subscription service, which has faced criticism for the lack of appealing AAA titles recently.
Available Across Various Platforms
“Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions” will not only be available on the PlayStation 5 but also on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, and Xbox Series X|S, making it accessible to a broad audience across different gaming platforms.
What This Means for Sony and Gamers
This strategic move is seen as an attempt by Sony to strengthen its position against competitors and to maintain the attractiveness of its gaming ecosystem. By offering high-profile games like “Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions” for free on release day, Sony is likely trying to draw in more subscribers and keep the existing ones engaged.
