I wouldn't expect it to get any better. The cost of getting big PS+ games on PS4 is a lot higher when that means that over half of the install base now DOESN'T have to buy said game. It was different when we had a few million out of 80 million. It's the same reason Games with Gold sucked for a good while and probably still sucks; it's not worth it to give us big games for free every month unless they're already way past their shelf life when we're expected to have PS+

Games with gold has Tom Raider:definitive edition for XBone and Crysis 3 for 360 this month, among others. So that's a lot better actually.

Oh, that's actually not too bad. Given the Tomb Raider exclusivity, the former makes sense though. The latter is bargain bin through and through, as fun as a game as it is. Wasn't Crysis 2 PS+ at one point, for example? Even if the exclusivity isn't the reason for Tomb Raider, the losing party always has the best opportunity with these sorts of programs. Having half the install base legitimately helps a ton when it comes to free game promotions, especially when premium access is mandatory on both consoles now.
