PS Plus game Ender Lilies benefits from being August’s free game
In an X (formerly Twitter) post, the official Ender Lilies account announced its impressive new milestone. Crediting PS Plus as a contributing factor to its 6.4 million downloads, the post thanks everyone for checking out the action RPG.
“Thank you very much for picking up Ender Lilies as part of the PlayStation Plus ‘Free Play’ feature,” says the translated post. “During this period, the number of PlayStation installs increased by 6.4 million! We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who provided us with encouragement and support.”
Ender Lilies initially launched on Steam Early Access in January 2021. It then launched on PS4 in July of the same year. It reviewed quite well, with an 86 metascore on Metacritic. In August 2024, it was one of PS Plus Essential’s free offerings alongside LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and Five Nights at Freddy’s Security Breach.
