Also some PS+ Collection news:

Final Fantasy XV will be the Royal Edition.
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Call of Duty Black Ops III: Zombie Chronicles Edition are two extra titles that will be provided within this collection as well, making for a total of 20 games.

when i go to the ps store it says i don't have ps+, but it's right there as "active" in my account settings. is it no longer possible to redeem ps+ games from a computer?

e: holy crap, if i go to the actual game's page i can hit "add to library" but the links under "ps+" all take me to "subscribe to ps+" BS. the new store really is terrible!

It was only a matter of time before they got rid of that convenience, they're gonna save a lot of money by making it harder to claim the free games

All of this webstore and app nonsense makes the digital-only version of the PS5 only less appealing, and I didn't like so much anyway

Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground...


The new app is rolling out for ios (Android should be coming very soon) and consensus seems to be that the app is way better (in general and for the store)

Also another goon discovered that there is settings for wishlist notifications in an app, so that's coming back with the launch of the ps5 most likely.

I got the new app yesterday on Android and it seems pretty serviceable. the store seems less laggy and the PS+ games seem pretty easy to find and redeem.

The big issues for me are: making the webstore less intuitive and slower, and the changes combining group chats with parties. I'm sure there's some grand plan for all of this, but it seems like they're taking things that work well enough and making them work less well.

Do it like Anthem. Bring it out now knowing people won't like it. In two weeks say you're working on a 2.0 then just let it rot while never acknowledging anything ever again.

This new Playstation store reeks of some project manager's bonus/evaluation being tied to rolling out the new site out by a specific date rather than producing a functioning product by that date.

Hope next month's free PS Plus games aren't going to be a wild hunt...

I will burn my dread.

I could deal with a worse design if it was at least functional. But the store won't load content half the time for me, and if it does sometimes it just won't let me add it to my cart. I never had these issues with the web store before.

edit: After giving me two different errors trying to add something to my cart, I refreshed the page and now it's showing as already added to my cart. Good poo poo.

Is about to die!
The search experience is terrible, you just get a bunch of box art in squares back, no text so for a lot of games the art for DLC or whatever is almost identical and you have no idea which search result is which.

On my phone it formats a list of two entries per row, like how you might expect it to look on mobile, except then it zooms out about 4x, so it's this narrow column of tiny items on the left of the screen and 75% white space. If I pinch to zoom in, any time you click or interact with anything on the page it zooms back out again.

Keep bustin'
I haven't been keeping up on the news too closely, has there been a definitive word on how the free PS Plus games will work with PS5? I see November has two PS4 games and one PS5, is that expected to be the norm (at least until they ineveitably ditch the PS4 stuff)?

And past claimed PS4 games should all work on PS5, as long they aren't one of the (10?) magic games that aren't backward compatible?

We dont know.
Just that bugsnax is being given out in nov/dec and destruction all stars in feb/march
So maybe ps5 games are on there for 2 months and ps4 games change every month.
Except january, which has no ps5 game announced.
We just dont know

Yes all ps4 games work except for those 10, but a few devs announced patches to fix so maybe it will be fewer that dont work

This new store is actively helping me from buying games. I got paid today, thought maybe I'd kill time before PS5 with Mafia Remastered, went to my phone and tried to buy it through the PS App with PayPal and it tells me "complete this purchase in a web browser." Any other service has a web browser window pop up or something and you can confirm it there and go back to the App, but the PS App doesn't. It took me like four attempts to realize that, gosh, it must want me to do it in a web browser from start to finish! So I go to the shopping cart on Chrome, try to complete the transaction, once again it tells me to complete it in a web browser despite being on a web browser so I guess it means go home, get on a computer/laptop, and finish the transaction that way. By the time I got home I was just tired so I decided to play Dead by Daylight instead of dropping 50 Canuck Bucks on Mafia.

maybe I'm an outlier but the new mobile/app store works fine for me. I just searched for Demon's Souls and bought it no problem via PayPal. the PS+ games are easy to find, and there's way less lag than the old store for me

Shadow of War and Hollow Knight are up as free PS Plus games...except they seem to have forgotten the free part, it wants to charge $50 for Shadow and $15 for Hollow Knight

Also not up yet but should be later today are November's new PS Now games.

F1 2020
Injustice 2
Kingdom Come: Deliverance (available until May 3rd, 2021)
My Time at Portia
Rage 2
Warhammer: Vermintide 2

Leaving later today are Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege and, apparently, Shadow Complex: Remastered (which also means you'll need a PS4 to play it, unless they patch it to work with the PS5). Leaving November 30th will be Resident Evil VII: Biohazard (although this is part of the PS Plus Collection so PS5 havers can still play this) and Metro: Exodus.

I'm of the unpopular opinion that Hollow Knight is a very pretty game that learned all the wrong lessons from Souls-like games, and adapted the wrong things to a 2d environment.

I thought Hollow Knight was boring, ugly, easy in an uninteresting way, and generally unfun, honestly don't know what anyone sees in it.

Bugsnax though...

And speaking of Bugsnax there seems to be no way to add it to your library in the new PS store?
