Last night it was revealed that Planetside 2 and DC Universe Online will be heading to Playstation 4, with Sony Online Entertainment revealing that both games will retain their respective free-to-play models after their shift to the next-gen platform.

"Since the launch of the original EverQuest, we have pioneered major shifts in the development of MMOs and videogames as a whole, and now we're bringing our titles to the forefront of next-gen gaming ," said company president John Smedley.

He then added: "Players are evolving and want a variety of ways to access and play games. Our goal is to deliver epic gaming experiences that players crave while harnessing the awesome power and technology of this incredible new platform. We are thrilled to bring two of our most popular free-to-play games to PS4."

Planetside 2 is a MMOFPS that hosts hundreds (sometimes thousands) of concurrent players in battles across huge persistent maps, whereas DC Universe Online is a more traditional MMORPG set in the DC universe. Both games are due out later this year, and will be available via digital download.
