If you are a PlayStation Plus member, you are entitled to a handful of games each month. When the PS5 was released in November, the number of monthly games increased to three – two PS4 games and one on PS5. This is obviously great if you managed to get one of the new Sony consoles, but if you’re having trouble finding PS5 stock or just waiting to make the leap? You lose that extra PS Plus game, right? Well, you don’t have to be.
You can easily claim any PS5 game that comes on PS Plus, even if you don’t have the hardware itself. Let’s take Maneater as an example this month. If you want to be able to play this on your future PS5, you can add it to your library via the PlayStation app on your smartphone or the PlayStation web store. Simply log in to your PSN account with any of these, find the game by searching, and click Add to Library. Once you’re done, you’ll have Maneater in your game library and be able to download it once you’ve set up your shiny new PS5.
This will, of course, apply to Destruction AllStars once it is released on February 2nd and for any future PS5 game coming to PS Plus. By adding games to your library via a browser or app, you’ll make sure you don’t miss these early PS5 gifts. It’s pretty simple, but not something that’s immediately obvious. If you notice a PS5 game on PS Plus that you want to play, the lack of a PS5 does not mean that you cannot play it in the end.
