November's right around the corner, and with it comes the launch of the PS5.

On November 3rd PlayStation Plus members will receive two PS4 games: Middle-earth: Shadow of War and Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition.

In addition, beginning on November 12, PlayStation Plus members who own a PlayStation 5 console will receive Bugsnax for the PS5.

This is an interesting move because it appears to break away from the precedent that you do not need to own a specific console in order to redeem PS+ titles. Whereas you can redeem the PS4 titles without owning a PS4, Sony has implied that a PS5 is necessary to redeem Bugsnax.

Bugsnax is gonna be the knack of the ps5

 

[godreborn]

no offense, but I'd imagine that game to be pretty shitty if they're giving it away on ps5, when the game could be up for sale on psn.

Because of Bugsnax, I predict there will be shortages of PS5.

Fall Guys was given away at launch as well. I'd still think that BugsKnack will probably turn out to be shitty, but I don't see a direct correlation here.

The devs must have got one hell of a deal to give up the opportunity of being a launch title (for sale) on a new console generation.

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

I have all the hype for Bugsnax, can't wait to play it...on PC ;O;

But hey, nice to add an extra launch title to anyone who grabs a PS5, and it even lasts until January 2021 so everyone trying to buy a PS5 at/around launch can get a chance to snag it.

Bugsnax would be worth it for the song alone! KKB!

But it sucks a little bit I guess, if one of the games is locked to a specific console (even if it's available on both) - unless it's usually 2 games and the 3rd one is just a bonus for the PS5 early adopters. I haven't really paid attention

Welp, Gamepass it's not, lol.

No way they're giving away free PS5 games each month this early. There's a reason why they require you to have their console first, it's simply a lure to hook you into paying full launch price.

Too bad bugsnax is only on the PS5
