When Sony announced that the PS4 wouldn't be backwards compatible and wouldn't allow

you to download current PlayStation Network titles, DC Universe Online players who spent

hours creating heroes and villains freaked out.

But today, Sony Online Entertainment announced that DC Universe Online is coming to the PlayStation

4 -- and so is Planetside 2, the first-person shooter MMO currently available for PC.

We don't have release dates for these titles, but they will be out this year and will both

be free-to-play.

We can also confirm that Warframe, the cooperative "space ninja" game, is coming to PlayStation

4. It will be a launch title, and will follow a similar free-to-play, microtransaction model

as the game does on PC.

We gave the game's beta a 7.0 on PC, in case you're curious.

Digital Extremes, the 20-year old development studio behind the Unreal series, Dark Sector,

and The Darkness II, is leading the charge for both the PC and PS4 iterations of the

game, and we recently spoke with Steve Sinclair, the game's creative director.

He says it's like "Mass Effect meets Ninja Gaiden," what with its emphasis on space and...

well... ninjas.

So, you can add DC Universe Online, Planetside 2, and Warframe to the list of confirmed free-to-play

PlayStation 4 games.
