If you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber who’s picking up a PS5 next month, you’ll get a next-gen game for free, Sony revealed Wednesday. The supercute Bugsnax will be available as part of the $60 a year service from Nov. 12, the console’s launch day.
You’ll have to add the colorful adventure game to your library before Jan. 4, 2021. It sees you trying to catch titular half-bug-half-snack creatures on a mysterious island. It’s also coming out on PS4 and PC that day, but the PS4 version isn’t available to PS Plus members.

However, the PS4 games for next month are pretty sweet: Lord of the Rings tie-in Middle-earth: Shadow of War and Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition. They’ll be available from Tuesday, Nov. 3, to Monday, Nov. 30, so subscribers should add them to their libraries before then. Both games will also be playable on PS5 via backward compatibility.
