PlayLinkโs Thatโs You Will Be Free to PS Plus Members In July
During a pretty hectic week, Sony also let out some news about Julyโs PS Plusโ first revealed game: Thatโs You. The title will be part of one of Sonyโs new initiative called PlayLink which focuses on casual gaming and second-screen gaming. Beyond just choosing an option from a multiple choice, the initiative will even let you use your smartphone or tabletโs camera in a way that interacts with the game too.
Thatโs You is a party game that looks a bit like a tech demo at times in this trailer below where Sonyโs Shuhei Yoshida joins a party to play. The game relies on the camera quite a bit as you have to draw over your friendsโ photos to beat challenges like, โDraw your friend in a police uniformโ. Of course, if your friends are like mine, then, thereโll just be a barrage of dick drawings on the way.

Putting the game on PS Plus is a smart move to introduce the huge install base of PlayStation players to the PlayLink and hopefully, those who have fun will try other games in this push. If Sonyโs seeking to get more casual players, Iโd say the PlayLink app would have to be playable without a console as itโs a still a pretty steep price to buy in. It remains to be seen if this PlayLink will ultimately catch on with the masses or if it will eventually be as supported as PS VIta by the next E3 conference.
That said, Iโm always down to draw my friends as the best riot cops on the force, equipped with dong-nunchakus. Either way, the title will be free on July 4th.
