Sony is giving an opportunity incentives to its PlayStation Plus members by allowing them to vote for the next free title they want to see in Sony's gaming platforms.

Recently, Sony announced their latest free games available in August, which include "Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris," "Sound Shapes," "Castle Storm" (Complete Edition), "Stealth Inc 2:  A Game of Clones," "Limbo" and "God of War Ascension." The free games are collections of indie and popular games on Sony.

According to the Master Herald, PlayStation Plus users should be currently subscribed in order to participate in the voting of free titles, and at the same time, view and download the games.

The "Vote to Play" feature of Sony's gaming platforms will determine the most popular game that they will feature next in their collection of free games. In case that their vote did not win, they will still get the chance to download the game at a cheaper price, according to Sony Computer Entertainment John Koller. Sony's move to introduce the "Vote to Play" feature apparently satisfies both sides, giving Sony entertainment a rather easy and free way to ask its users the most popular game around, at the same time, users who have been spending their money on these subscriptions will eventually have some voice in the system.

According to the Verge, while the voting will not happen every month, Sony assured everyone that the feature will occur "at regular intervals throughout the year."

There is no specific date when the voting will start, but players can only vote as long as they are actively subscribed to the PlayStation Plus.

Sony will give out a list of games that are highly candidate to be included in the free games; however, users will still vote in order to see the most popular one. Written in their blogpost is a statement saying, "With this new feature, we are asking Play Station Plus members to vote on one of the games to be included in the upcoming month's game line-up."
