If you are a PlayStation Plus member, you will be entitled to a few games per month. When the PS5 launched in November, the number of monthly games rose to three – two PS4 games and one on PS5. Obviously, this is great if you got one of Sony’s new consoles, but what if you’re having trouble finding PS5 stock or just waiting to make the leap? You’re missing that extra PS Plus game, right? Well, you don’t have to be.
You can easily claim any PS5 game that comes to PS Plus, even if you don’t have the hardware itself. Let’s take this month’s Maneater as an example. If you want to play on your future PS5, you can add it to your library via the PlayStation app on smartphones or in the PlayStation online store. Simply log into your PSN account with any of them, find the game through search and click on Add to Library. After doing this, you will have Maneater in your game library and will be able to download it as soon as you set up your new PS5.
This, of course, will apply to Destruction AllStars as soon as it is released on February 2, and for any future PS5 games that come to PS Plus. By adding games to your library through a browser or application, you will ensure that you will not miss these first PS5 giveaways. It is very simple, but it is not immediately obvious. If you find a PS5 game on the PS Plus that you want to play, the lack of a PS5 does not mean that you will not be able to play it eventually.
Do you have any PS5 PS Plus games installed in your library using this method? Will you claim Destruction AllStars so you can play as soon as you have your PS5? Tell us in the comments section below.
