Greedfall is a game I've been wanting to play for quite a while so pretty nice month for me.

gently caress, I don't have a ps5 but I was gonna buy Maneater on epic by the end of the month. Can't you redeem it on webstore or something? I could swear I redeemed Bugsnax last month

Yes you can even if you don't own a PS5. Use the phone app or the webstore for it.

I’d assume so, but the official blog post does have this disclaimer.

”Sony” posted:

*PS5 console only; PlayStation Plus benefit not applicable for Maneater on PS4. Maneater is not available in Saudi Arabia.

So uh, maybe? Maybe not? I’d imagine you can have the PS5 version waiting till you buy one.

you can redeem it for ps5 without having a ps5 but you will not get the ps4 version (nor will anyone else)

you can redeem it, but the web store is such trash that you might have to clear all your cookies and sign in again. if you don't, it'll look like you can't get it at all.

i've had to do that every time i want to use the web store for the past month or so

I'm holding out hope either way. As far as I can see there's only one listing for Maneater on webstore, labeled "Maneater PS4&PS5".

My interpretation is it's going to be handled the same way Bugsnax is:

The PS+ free version will only get you the PS5 version. You can claim it from the website but it won't be playable on PS4 at all in its free PS+ version, you'll only get the PS5 build added to your library.

The paid version will get you both the PS4 and PS5 versions, adding two items to your account. If you buy the PS4 version digitally at some later point in time I imagine it'll reset your PS5 license for the game so it's permanent and not tied to PS+.

Does PSN still have that problem where you can’t buy a game if you have the PS+ version?

I believe that's finally fixed - or at least, the option to buy a game that's already redeemed as PS+ is there. Not sure if this is backwards-applicable to PS3/Vita.

It’s partially addressed. From an actual PS4 console at least, you can do repurchases. I don’t believe you can from the mobile app or webstore, and I’m not sure you can on a PS5 either, at least for PS4 stuff.

On the PS5 store you can purchase PS+ games including PS4. At least I have the buy button for PS4 games I have from PS+, I never tried to actually buy one.

If you can tolerate playing through previous ps+ game Vampyr you can hang through Greedfall. Game has some trap skills, look up a leveling guide.

Last day to grab Bugsnax (you don't need a PS5 to claim it). And those other PS+ games too, I guess (Worms Rumble, Rocket Arena and Just Cause 4).

Nice, I was holding on getting Control's DLC so let's hope that it uses the same savedata and I can just keep playing from my beaten game.

I finally bought it in the Winter Sale after waiting for over a year after release. So much for reasonably expecting it not to be a PSN game for a long long time. :homebrew:

This is still a good thing though, can only hope more well received AAA games get the PSN treatment in the months to come. I don't think I'll be buying any PS4 games this year with the backlog I now have though.

If I get PS4 games this year will be retail releases that are cheap for my collection.

If every game was a masterpiece more people would finish their backlog. Many games are bad, boring, or too long. Some games are made by Ubisoft, and they are all three.

ive never heard of that but it sounds cool. thanks for the tip!

i played milkmaid of the milky way finally. it was fine. it did the rhyming couplet thing like child of light did, except this time i found it much more grating (in CoL it didn't bother me at all)

Man the store is infuriating. Wanted to claim the PS Plus games of this month like Control, and they are still 39,99 euro on the web store. Then on the app they are free, but I have to buy them individually and enter my password EACH TIME rather than put them all in my shopping cart and buy once.

I can't believe the Store devs still haven't improved the thing.

It's so bad, super slow today too. Their crap security cert is giving me warning all over the place too and every page asks for cookie verification even though I've declined everything countless times. And it randomly logs me out too so I have to go through the whole thing of two-step verification through text messaging every time.

The games are still full price in some areas of the store and the PS+ page still shows last month's games. I just searched for them individually and finally got them. Weirdly there are two versions of Control: Ultimate edition but I went with the PS4/PS5 one and it seemed to give me both.

More than 15 years later and several versions of online stores created during that period, yet they still can't get it right.

PSP, PS3 (two versions even), web store, Vita, PS4, and now PS5 with a new web store. All of them with several issues.

It's still Tuesday, PS+ games refresh on Wednesday. The first Wednesday of the month, which is tomorrow. Chill.


I really wish the PS5 games were crossbuy, the Vita and PS3 games crossbought like 2 years ago.

yeah typically it would update sometime in the next few hours, I'm thinking they must have done it early because today is also launch day for control and destruction all stars? so those wouldve been available at midnight EST?

Did they remove claiming psplus games from the website? I'm on the page of Destruction allstars and want to claim it but theres simply no button. I claimed the ps4 games on the console but that's not an option for the ps5 one.

Still has an 'add to library' button there for me, if you're on mobile I suggest using a non-mobile browser or vice-versa.
