Ever since we first saw it at the PlayStation 5 Games Showcase, we knew that bugsnax it was PlayStation Plus meat. The cute game with the colorful bugs seemed to be filler in the free monthly catalog of PlayStation, and finally, our suspicions have been confirmed.
Your first free game for PS5
If you are going to buy the new PlayStation 5, it is inevitable that you also sign up for the subscription service PlayStation Plus for more than obvious reasons. In addition to getting discounts and bonuses on the purchase of some games, the service will allow you to play online with other users of the platform, so basically it is something that you must have no matter what.
But one of the most striking incentives are the monthly rewards that are offered completely free of charge to all users, since they receive the possibility of downloading and adding games to their library completely free of charge. And of course, what will happen when PS5 hits stores? Well, they are going to give away PS5 games, it's that easy.
a fun investigation
This was something that we all expected, however, the question was what would be the game that the company was going to give away in the first month of life of its new next-generation console. And yes, the chosen one has been Bugsnax, a colorful and fun game starring strange dolls that are half insect, half snack, in which you will have to solve the mystery that surrounds the island in order to find Elizabert Magefig, the person who invited to visit the island.
The game will surprise us with 100 different species that we will have to discover and hunt with gadgets and baits that we get. It seems that if we feed the inhabitants of the island we will be able to modify the appearance of the characters, so we don't know exactly where the story and game mechanics will go. Be that as it may, it seems more like the classic game for the little ones in the house with which to be able to launch the new console with the family.
Bugsnax takes the player on a wacky adventure to Snaktooth Island, home to the legendary half-insect, half-food creatures that go by the name Bugsnax. The player will play the role of a journalist who, after being invited to the island by the intrepid explorer Elizabert Megafig, must discover why his hostess has disappeared, the camp is in ruins and his followers have scattered all over the island, being alone and... hungry!
November's PlayStation Plus games
In addition to bugsnax (which will only be compatible with PS5), PlayStation Plus will offer another two additional games for all those who own a PS4 or who want to play these games on their new PS5 with the help of backward compatibility. The three games included in the month of November are Middle-earth: Shadow of War y Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition. There will be a third free game, Melbits World, but in this case it will only work on PS4, since the game comes directly from the PlayStation Talents platform.
