woggly4 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I was super excited when I saw Afrika in the list of PS+ Premium games. However, I can't find it in the store. Neither by directly searching it nor by looking through the PS3 games category. Is this region locked and only not available in Europe? Can someone from another region please check if it is available in their PS+ Premium tier? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuntingFever Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) The trophy enabled PS3 version was only ever released in America but the trophyless version was released everywhere else as Hakuna Matata so try searching for that. It's also possible it's an error and the game isn't available anywhere as part of PS Plus Premium. Edited July 8, 2022 by HuntingFever Fixed typo.

Popular Post ResiGamer_28 Posted July 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2022 Hardly surprising since there are NINETY games on there which are NA exclusive. Now im not one to judge but nearly 100 games exclusive to one region is taking the fking piss. Why are we being charged the same for less? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sendai-Horatio Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 This would get me to subscribe to PS premium if I could get another stack of Africa platinumed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deceptrox Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Too bad PS3 games can only be streamed. Hopefully they could change that in the future despite being highly unlikely. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, If it is a stack then it's not the same game. I think the whole point if why the new PS+ is exciting is that it gives games a "second wind" before their original native hardware bites to dust. Once/If SONY brings over PS3 games natively -or through streaming- to newer consoles then it needs to be the same trophy list as the one on PS3, otherwise it has all been for nothing.

Looks like it isn't available at all, just checked with an NA account. I can see the games without subscribing, Afrika is still missing. So hopefully it will be added later, who knows. But even then it might be US exclusive because as @ResiGamer_28 already said, there are indeed a whole lot more PS3 games in the NA catalogue.

triebs2 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I have about 20 missions left and then my PS3 disk will be on ebay for less than I paid for it. I got excited about this announcement to but yeah it is not available in the US version of premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dry Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) Well, I just casually spotted a pre-owned NA release copy of Afrika while out shopping the other night… Selling for $259 AUD? Bloody Hell, none of y’all were kidding on the rarity of this niche PS3 game/version! Edited July 21, 2023 by Dry 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulpine9Tails Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I just bought another copy for over $200 CAD. I really need to stop selling my games. I'd be very surprised to see it end up on ps premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
