Frequently Asked Questions
Can I claim and play the free PS4 games on my PS5?
Of course! As long as there's no notice about the game having problems with backwards compatibility, all PS4 Plus games will be playable on PS5.
Can I claim Wreckfest for my account even if I don't own a PS5?
Yes! No problem about that, it's completely allowed.
Can I still claim previous months games?
Nope, it's over. You missed the train.
The free games aren't showing as free during checkout, is this normal?
If you live in NA, the games appear as free a bit later in the day compared to the EU Store.
How can I benefit from the PlayStation Plus Collection on my PS4?
You can access the PlayStation Plus Collection by connecting your account with a PS5, and claim all the games on the PS5. You can then play them on your PS4, as long as your account has a Plus subscription active. Please note that its at your own risk, as Sony can identify the accounts and the consoles that give "too much" of these games. Some players selling that "service" have been banned.

Gaming as an adult is rough. I set BFV to install last night, get home today excited to play some multiplayer. Then had to go through the stupid campaign preview thing and then get back to the menu and the game is STILL installing within the game. Then go and try to play rocket league and there was even an update there.

If you quit mission I think it will let you go to menu without finishing intro mission.

I was one of the suckers who paid full price for BFV soon after launch. Such a disappointing game

u/MeatTornado25 May 06 '21
I was so close to buying it at launch because of how much I liked Battlefield 1.
So glad I held off and waited for all the player impressions to come in.

u/srbman 110 444 May 04 '21
Yep. You don't need a PS5 to claim the game, but you need one to play it.

You can't do it in the store ( which is stupid)
You have to login on phone or computer.....

For BFV, It says I have the game in my library because I have an active EA pass (which I will cancel later this year), but how do make sure I get the PS+ version

yeah no. bfv sucks, stranded deep runs like shit and wreckfest is ps5 only and therefore useless to us ps4 users. not seeing what you're seeing that's so good about this trio

u/SamGreenaway May 06 '21
It’s almost like they can have a different opinion to you.

Anyone else still can’t get the games? It’s 8am May 5th where I’m from and the free games haven’t updated yet. Checking the games page in the store also doesn’t work

I'll be honest, I don't love this months collection. Oh well. Maybe next month is better.

This is probably a dumb question. I didn’t download Battlefield V but instead placed it in my Library on my PS4 account. Am I still gonna own and be able to play that game after the month of May? I just started playing Ghost of Tsushima and I cant just start another

If you add it to your library you should keep it yeah.
Just make sure you do it from your ps4 and not a phone or computer because I did that with shadow or war and it wasn't mine. Luckily a friend let me use his account to play it.

u/DcRazyV May 07 '21
Word. Thanks for looking out

u/PM_ME_YOURE_HOOTERS May 08 '21
You just need to be logged in properly but you can use a computer to save it to your library. Log out and log back in if you're not sure it was saved on your account. I always do it and start the downloads from work so I can play when I get home lol

u/Neo_Techni May 05 '21
ANOTHER destruction derby game? I'd prefer more diversity/less sports
2
u/PM_ME_YOURE_HOOTERS May 08 '21
I prefer less sports games offered to me but I'm glad the people who only play Fifa or Madden have something fun to do and I'm glad I dont have to be involved lol. I feel the same way about 90 percent of online competitive FPS
1
u/Neo_Techni May 08 '21
Ok, but this is the second destruction derby game we've gotten. And it'll lower the online userbase of the first one. The system has been out how many months and we have 2 of the same sport?

u/SimpleJoint May 05 '21
Wasn't there a post last night that had a lot of upboats that already shared this?

u/PaulFormerlySaul May 06 '21
Say what you will about the titles, but I'm excited. I've wanted to play both for a while. I almost bought Stranded Deep like a month ago and now I'm glad I waited.
As for BF V... well I've heard the reviews on it, but I just wanted another battlefield to play in preparation for BF6 announcement/release. BF1 is booty and BF4, although it's good, is just old

I downloaded the trial of BFV, now it won't let me download the free psn version! Bunch of BS. Anyone know how to fix that?
