Comments from users on that link seem to suggest that there'll be no more yearly updates

Yeah, it doesn't look great from the way they phrased it in the blog. I suppose we'll see what happens…

The operative word there is 'users'. TBH if they got rid of them to ensure that each platform would get two games at least a month, I wouldn't mind too much.

No, the yearly titles on the IGC, last year it was XCOM, Uncharted 3 and LittleBigPlanet Karting for PS3, Vita got some titles as well

Trine 2 is a great game for anyone who has not played it and looking forward to Lone Survivor, NBA 2k14 is great on the PS4 and the PS3 version just has lesser graphics but it is quite a challenge to learn how to use all the moves in it.

The blog itself says:

In the coming weeks, you’ll see that several of the titles that have had a nice, long stint in the Instant Game Collection will be phased out, so if you’re new to the service and haven’t had a chance to download all of the titles available through PS Plus — or if you’ve been thinking about subscribing but haven’t yet — now is the perfect time to get all the great games available with PS Plus.

and then in the comments section Fred Dutton replied to people querying it:

Chris will be along to answer questions soon, but just to clarify, the annual ‘evergreen’ titles will not be replaced. Instead, you’ll be getting one additional PS4 game every month. So, 2 x PS3, 2 x PS4 and 2 x Vita each month for the foreseeable future.

So it looks like they'll be gone in June which is a bit of a shame.

Sorry for posting again but should I buy usa Psn or eu psn. The only difference I can see is that us is cheaper and it has resogun for free. I'm just wondering if there will be any connectivity issues with the games I buy from the USA psn store, as they may connect me to us players instead of eu.

I've never quite understood the concerns over the yearly games. Surely it's only a problem for non subscribers? For me there's little to no difference between a game being up for a month and a year - it's merely a matter of logging in once a month and 'purchasing' the latest offerings. If it's the same amount of games (or more), then I don't see the removal of the yearly titles as anything other than a minor inconvenience.

It's another 3 extra games every year. So in essence, PS3 owners have basically had the service reduced by 15 games a year over the last 7-8 months.

As said you're worse off if you've just one Sony System, and there a sense of the yearly games being bigger games and better.

so no yearly game in june... ok ,

im thinking of buying injustice for ps4 for €14.99, just afraid it will arrive on the igc in july?

choices,choices!

Varik

The US plus IGC had more games but they changed less often, but after the EU plus changed to the 1 per month that meant we'd get less games as often as the US. And while Plus is great value anyway it was ****e that we suddenly got less than what we'd signed up to.

I'm happy about the change to 6 games per month, as while we can't always get the same games/quality of games at least there is some parity.

I was trying to add it on the site so the game would be downloaded by the time I got home but no luck, can't seem to add it while signed in.

I'm happy with the changes and I think it is another good month. I've never played Trine 2 or Pixeljunk Shooter so I'm set.

Injustice is awesome, my wife even plays it and for 15 quid its the best bargain out there imo

I'm going to pick it up on PS3 for a tenner. Just wondering, is the Season Pass worth picking up?

Getting the PS4 version but if i wasn't i might just for Lobo.

BordorFox

The version for €14.99 is the ultimate edition on PS4, which includes the DLC and lobo already and all costumes and extra stars missions.

The PS3 has two versions available though, ordinary edition one for €7.50 and ultimate edition one for €9.99.
