Middle-earth: Shadow of War (PS4 Game)
Set between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, Middle-earth: Shadow of War beckons you once more into JRR Tolkien’s iconic world of wizards, orcs and elves. Go behind enemy lines to forge your army, conquer Fortresses and dominate Mordor from within. Experience how the Nemesis System creates unique personal stories with every enemy and follower, and confront the full power of the Dark Lord Sauron and his Ringwraiths in this epic new story of Middle-earth.
Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition (PS4 Game)
In Team Cherry’s engrossing 2D explorative platformer, descend into a sprawling underground world of Hollownest to battle tainted creatures and befriend bizarre bugs. Unlock new skills and tailor your power sets to fit your playstyle to help you explore twisting caverns, ancient cities and deadly wastes. Uncover a kingdom’s ancient history, taking on epic bosses that’ll challenge your combat and platforming skills as you strive to solve the mysteries buried at its heart.
Both PS4 games will be available from Tuesday, November 3 to Monday, November 30.

add it to ps4 now
Nice Sony. I am waiting with baited breath for my PS5 to arrive. Could you please add a link to playstation nz utube channel for the ps4 camera adapter. Cheers
cool 😎
Great games for the PS4 👍🏼
Monster Hunter: World and Persona 5 is the only games i don’t already own.
I’m not smart and need help fully understanding, for example bo3 zombie chronicles will this be available on ps4 with ps+ still?
“Bugsnax (PS5 version) will be available to PlayStation Plus members beginning on Thursday, November 12*** until Monday, January 4, 2021.”
Great. My preordered PS5 will be delivered in February 2021. Why do you even care advertising PS5 as a this year thing?
Claim your vr adapter people search psvr adapter and the playstation support page will show you then input the serial number of the vr and your address and they send you it
I posted a message with the link but for some reason it doesn’t show
I thought about playing final fantasy 15 when it came out but never got around to it now that’s it’s on ps5 for ps plus all wait.
The only good game is hollow knight
Hey Sony, how about giving us PS4 owners some love and giving us access to PlayStation Plus Collection, considering we were paid PS+ subscribers for all those months that you gave us poorly rated or indie games. I am not exaggerating. I don’t even have to dig deep to find examples. This past month you gave us Need For Speed Payback (61 on Metacritic) and Vampyr (70 on Metacritic). It’s a slap in the face for longtime subscribers.
Hi, until when do we have to claim the ps plus collection?
how much will we have to pay for ps+
I don’t see a good reason why the PS+ Collection’s PS4 games can’t be played on, you know, PS4… Anyway, you’ll have my interest when you finally re-implement PS1 compatibility! Happy that Crash N-Sane Trilogy is on the list, hope you guys try for Spyro too.
At least they’re consistently bad. Imagine if they ever had a good month. The internet would have a stroke.
I do not own any SONY console, but I plan to in the early 2021. Does it make sense getting PS Plus now to obtain PS collection?
How does it exactly work?
Would i need to redeem each game one by one over web site so they would be available when I eventually buy PS5?
Is this PS collection for PS5 only available for a limited time?
question i missed out on the ps5 pre order can i still download them without having a ps5 because i really want to arkham knight when i get my ps5 next year
I would like to know at what hour precisely the PS Plus games become available. It is the 3rd of November now, 11.00 and they are still not downloadable. Maybe you could add the hour next time too? Saves us a lot of trying :-). Thx.
Hello since its November 3rd and the ps plus games are suppose to be available to download today. Why are they not showing up?
Can I claim the ps plus pack after November on the ps5
What I want to know is: can I redeem the PS+ collection from the online store ready for when I have my PS5 (probably next year) or can you only claim it on a PS5 system itself?
Is the PS+ collection time-limited or will I be able to claim it for my library at any stage, regardless of when I actually get my console?
Or is it only those lucky enough to have a PS5 in the month of November 2020 that can get this?
Any advice appreciated.
I would like to know this as well. I am currently not a plus member and I am not planning on buying the PS5 until the end of next year and I would like to know if I can claim them or not IF I decide to resubscribe to plus.
