PSN Play
CONCEPT
A promotional program for downloadable games on PlayStation Network that began in 2011.


Overview

PSN Play is an annual promotion held by Sony on the PlayStation Network (Concept) during the summer months of July & August. It highlights a group of four new PSN games, one released per week, and offers incentives to buy them together. Many have speculated that this program is a direct response to the success Microsoft has seen with it's very similar Summer of Arcade (Concept) program.

In January 2014, Sony introduced PS Vita Play.
