Answering the burning question "Will PlayStation Plus members get any PS5 games for free at launch?", Sony and developer Young Horses today announced that the highly anticipated title Bugsnax is going to free to PS5 owners/PlayStation Plus members on day one.
In a post today on the PlayStation Blog, Gameplay Designer John Murphy described Bugsnax as follows:
"Bugsnax is a first-person, narrative-driven adventure that has you setting off to the mysterious Snaktooth Island in search of the truth behind the tasty creatures known as Bugsnax. As a journalist hungry for that next big scoop, you accept the invitation to the island from the intrepid explorer Elizabert Megafig, who has now gone missing! But you’re not alone. Fuzzy and eccentric pioneers known as Grumpuses have also followed Elizabert in search of Bugsnax, and have created the cozy settlement of Snaxburg. Capture and discover Bugsnax, make new friends, find Elizabert, and maybe you’ll get that big breakthrough story you’ve been after."
Bugsnax will be joining the very long list of 20 free enhanced PS4 classics that Plus members will have access to on Day One, ensuring that no new PlayStation 5 owners will be left with nothing to play.
