Sony announced the November PlayStation Plus lineup which so happens to fall in the same month the PS5 launches worldwide. This means subscribers are in for a treat as they will get both PS4 games as well as PS5 game when their console arrives at launch. For a few weeks now, rumours have been swirling that Bugsnax would be the first free game on the service and it seems that’s the case. On 12 November, PlayStation Plus subscribers can add the game to their library even those who don’t plan on picking up a console at launch can grab the game for later use.
