Sony has confirmed the three games involved: choose between Zombie Vikings, Grow Home and Armello.

That's Grow Home confirmed for PS4, then.

The developers of the games have released videos in which they pitch their creations to voters. They're below.

ORIGINAL STORY 31/07/2015: Sony will allow PlayStation Plus members to vote on which games they'd like to see in the Instant Games Collection.

Entitled Vote to Play, this feature will only cover yet-to-be-released PS4 games.

"The game with the most votes will automatically be included in our future monthly games line-up," Sony explained on the PlayStation Blog. "But don't worry if your pick doesn't quite make the cut. In the first promotion, you can purchase the runners-up at a discounted price exclusive to PlayStation Plus members."

Vote to Play won't be available every month, however. Instead it will be spaced at "regular intervals" throughout the year.

Elsewhere, a NeoGAF member leaked a still image they captured from an ostensibly accidentally released video promoting the upcoming feature. If this turns out to be legit, that means Grow Home will be coming to PS4 and will compete with Armello and Zombie Vikings for a spot as a free PS Plus download.

So far there's no estimate regarding when this feature will launch besides "soon".
