13w ago - PlayStation Digital Platforms Community Manager Morgan Haro announced today that Vanquish joins the Instant Game Collection as part of this weeks PlayStation Plus update.

Below are the details, to quote: We've got a monster update to the Instant Game Collection today as not one, but two fantastic games are coming to PS Plus members for free!

By now, you've got your hands on last week's addition: Closure. Dungeon Defenders is still free in PlayStation Plus, and has a PS3 Community XP Event coming up this Thursday (register here for more info).

With tomorrow's PlayStation Store Update, you'll be able to download Vanquish and Mega Man Maverick Hunter X free if you're a PS Plus member. We've got more including special content for Dust 514, and a launch week discount; so without further ado, let's get to the goods.
