If you’re a PlayStation Plus member, you’ve got a handful of games each month. When PS5 launched in November, the number of monthly games rose to three – two PS4 games and one on PS5. Of course, it’s great if you’ve managed to get your hands on one of Sony’s new consoles, but what if you’re having trouble finding PS5 shares or just waiting to make the leap? You miss that extra PS Plus game, right? Well, you do not have to be.
You can easily claim any PS5 games on PS Plus, even if you do not have the hardware. Let’s take this month’s Maneater as an example. If you want to play it on your future PS5, you can add it to your library via the PlayStation app on smartphones or the PlayStation web store. Simply log in to one of these at your PSN account, search for the game via the search, and click Add Library. Once it’s done, you have Maneater in your games library and can download it once you’ve set up your shiny new PS5.
This, of course, applies to Destruction AllStars once it launches on February 2, and for any future PS5 game coming to PS Plus. Adding the games to your library via a browser or the app will ensure that you do not lose these early PS5 free prizes. It’s pretty simple, but not something that is immediately obvious. If you see a PS5 game on PS Plus that you want to play, the lack of a PS5 does not mean that you will not be able to play it in the end.
