November 2020's PlayStation Plus games are available to download now from the PlayStation Store. Well, most of them. Both Middle-earth: Shadow of War and Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition — the month's two PS4 titles — are now yours to play if you're a subscriber.
Meanwhile, Bugsnax, the first PS5 game to be featured on PS Plus, will arrive alongside the next-gen console later this month. You'll be able to download it from the 12th November in the US, and the 19th November in Europe.
According to the public poll that we posted over the weekend, most of you seem quite content with November's lineup. 66 per cent of readers said that the game selection is either okay, good, or very good. Shadow of War was also voted as November's most anticipated PS Plus title.
Will you be playing any of these games? Raise an army of orcs in the comments section below.

@deathaxe Sadly not, Bugsnax is only PS5 for PS Plus.
Edit: Oh sorry, I misread your question. I don't think you can redeem Bugsnax on PS4. I'll check and get back to you.
I’ll wait for Bugsnax :3 already played and loved Hollow Knight, I’ve tried shadow of war and it’s not my cup of tea
@deathaxe Just checked and nope, you can't redeem Bugsnax yet.
When's Black Friday going to be? Hoping to pick up a cheap year of plus, but won't want to wait too long after the 19th as I'll only have Astro to play at launch
I'll download Shadow Of War. I hope the orcs are still cockneys.
@deathaxe if that's the best I can do I'll take it, but I've heard it can be as low as £25-30 on Black Friday. No point until the 19th as I don't have a PS4.
I’m seeing elsewhere that Bugsnax is available until January 4th 2021. Presumably this is only the download window? It’s unlikely that it’s a limited-time only Plus benefit, but possible?
It will be interesting to see if PS5 benefits continue after Destruction All-Stars in February, perhaps even on quarterly rotations, or with more games added to the Plus Collection over time, or alternating between a PS4 title and a Plus Collection title each month.
It’s quite surprising to see big releases coming to Plus on PS5 so quickly - it took a good few years for Plus on PS4 to include any big name games. Nevertheless, I do distinctly remember Bioshock Infinite made it to Plus on PS3 very quickly (Original release in March 2013 followed by a January 2014 appearance on Plus).
Anyone have their PS Now games updated yet? We're getting Rage 2 and F1 2020. Can click on "play on ps now" in the ps store but getting an error.
Can someone remind me when bugsnax leaves Plus again? Just so I know when to start the sub?
My question is can we add Bugsnax to our library from the PS store on the website like we can with normal PS Plus games, or is it just gonna be available through the PS5?
And yet the useless new PS Store still offers NFS Payback and Vampyr on the "This month on PlayStation Plus" page....
https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/ps-plus/this-month-on-ps-plus/
Seriously, they haven't even spell checked it. NFS Payback encourages you to "Win aganist all odds".
Embarrassing.
@deathaxe
I am pretty sure that you will be able to because claiming a game is about obtaining the license for your account, and not about what console you're putting it on. Bug snacks does not go into the lineup until the launch of the PS5 so you won't be able to claim it until then, but afterwards you should be able to do so through something like the Sony PlayStation website or maybe even through your PS4.
The other guy that commented to you about this is confused.
So I looked up my own question, and Black Friday is on the 27th. Don't really want to go a week without any games, so I guess I'll look out for other deals and maybe buy a shorter subscription and top it up on the 27th, or 30th if it ends up being part of 'cyber Monday'
This stuff is all pretty unintelligible to anyone outside the US, but somehow it affects us too…
Just wish they'd update ps now as well
Looking forward to Mordor when I finally rage quit Bloodborne
@deathaxe was able to claim dozens of vita games and once I got the vita I had Access to all those games.
Tried to claim the new psplus games via the new store mobile page, but it's friggin impossible! It doesn't display any prices or purchasing options, and where did my wishlist go? The old page had it's wrinkles but this is outright bad! And what's up with the purgatory white ala apple? I hate that look.
So for people in the same boat as me, the best option might be to pay £1 for a 14 day trial, which you can only redeem if you don't already have plus, and then grab a Black Friday deal if and when they come up.
@SteveJaye I was wondering the same thing. Looks like they are late.
Definitely downloading hollow knight.i still need to finish shadow of mordor.amazing game.word up son
Downloaded both titles, Resi 2 is currently my 'main' but likely to start Shadow of War before the week is out.
Hollow Knight I'll give a whirl at some point, when I'm in the mood for something a bit different.
Very good offerings this month imo.
God this new webstore is awful. Surely they have had enough complaints about this to do something better with it.
@SoulChimera ps now games are up!
Still not available in the UK PSN store yet
@ApostateMage @Col_McCafferty @playstation1995 Hi there fellow gamers. This month Plus offers are spectacular.
Shadow of Mordor was my main game on PS4 for months and Shadow of War on PC. Both are really good games, with the famed Arkham gameplay mechanics in terms of combat.
But it is the Nemesis system that really shines in those games.
You can do so much with that mechanic, it´s insane.
As for Hollow Knight..... It is THE BEST Metroidvania I´ve ever played. I cannot praise the game enough.
The astonishing visuals, the sad but very rich story of a fallen kingdom that hides a dark secret, the different and beautiful environments of the different tribes, the gameplay that is sooooo good, the crazy, weird but lovable characters.
And last, but certanly not least...... The GOD TIER soundtrack.
Christopher Larkin deserves all the praise.
Without it´s melancholic, somber, energetic and full of sentiment composing, it just wouldn´t be the same.
Hope people enjoy these games as much as I did and still do.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
@SteveJaye
Still not got them yet. 21.51 U.K.
Mmm I'm getting my Ps5 on December 4th since it's the launch date on my country... Will I be able to claim Bugsnax??
Hollow Knight might be my fave game ever ... defo top 2 or 3 and I think its probably even better than Super Metroid. However, I remember the first thing I thought to myself after 100%ing it was ... "i'm never putting myself through that again!!!" Don't think I'll ever replay it ... One 'n' done but really looking forward to Silksong.
@JoshuaTChandler @deathaxe at the moment the PlayStation store website indicates that you should be able to download/redeem Bugsnax:
"Don't own a PS5 yet? Add Bugsnax to your game library and it'll be saved for as long as you're a PS Plus member."
But the button/icon you'd normally click to redeem or download just reads "More information" and simply takes you to the game page when you click it.
So it either needs to be added to lineup like mentioned or the store is maybe having issues. In any case you'll likely not be able to redeem the game from the PS4 itself.
@RaZieLDaNtE Nice words mate, Res 2 is my main game at present but I'm sure I'll dip into Shadow of War when I feel the need to hunt some orc.
😉
I did play Mordor on the 360 and enjoyed it for the most part but to my shame I never finished it. I'm a more patient gamer now plus if I get stuck there's always YouTube!
Games like Hollow Knight aren't usually my cup of tea BUT I'm certain up for giving it a try anyway and see how it goes.
Wow, I wish every gamer was as positive and upbeat as you. It would make things a lot more fun that I can tell you.
👍
@zupertramp
The article above says that Bugsnax is not available until Nov. 12th, or 19th for others.
@JoshuaTChandler Right sorry, duh. It being part of Plus this month and this month basically starting today I wasn't even thinking about release dates. I even read the article and breezed over that bit. Makes sense though I thought maybe you could still add it to your library.
Anyway I just included you in my comment to expand on things. Cheers.
@Col_McCafferty Hi there friend. Thank you for the kind words.
I´m a pretty positive person myself, or at least, I try to be.
But man, games are supposed to be fun and bring about positive feelings right?
I´m 35, almost 36 years old, I have no need for any kind of negativity in my life. The world is already in a fine mess.
That is why I´m doing a project related to gaming, being one of my passions, to bring about all the positivities of the immense universe that videgames can have on people.
That is what gaming, to me, is all about.
Amazing, fun, interesting and profound interactive experiences.
Everyone should just enjoy doing what they like to do.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one 👍
@Col_McCafferty Oh, and RE2 remake is pretty good too. Capcom did a fine job on that one. Sadly, RE3 didn´t had the same treatment, unfortunately. I´m hopping they can do justice to RE: Code veronica, if thCapcom ever decides to work on it.
And Dino Crisis as well. Capcom has so many good games in their portfolio, it´s a shame they don´t use them as much.
Cheers
@RaZieLDaNtE @RaZieLDaNtE. Whats going on playa.hows everything where you at. Definitely hollow knight is a masterpiece.to me darkest dungeon and hollow knight is the 2 best indie games ever.shadow of war is amazing.still got to finish shadow of mordor.word up son
@RaZieLDaNtE. Capcom give me dragon dogma 2.i 🖤ve dragon dogma.a classic.word up son
Don't see November 2020's PlayStation Plus games. It' still showing the October games (Need for Speed: Payback and Vampyr) in the online PS Store.
Not a fan of the new online PS Store too. Not very user-friendly.
Nice recap on the LotR game.
@playstation1995 Hi there friend, hows it going? Everything good on your end? I´ve been busy with my gaming project and things are going ok, for the most part.
Still trying to figure a few things out.
Yeah, Darkest Dungeon is so good man. And hard to.
Why in the world are we going to get an anime and not a proper sequel to Dragon´s Dogma I have no idea. I still remenber fighting that huge Dragon with the community. Fun times. People have been wanting and waiting for them to do a sequel, but so far, nada. Oh well. One can only hope.
Cheers, stay safe man and word up son 👍
@RaZieLDaNtE. Yeah. They definitely will make Dragon dogma 2.before devil may cry 5 they was thinking about it.so its next.yeah darkest dungeon is my favorite indie games.word up son
@WanderingBullet Services > PSPlus > This month on ps plus > Scroll down > Download Now > Add To Library
If you just click on Playstation Plus it shows Vampyr and NFS because the new webstore is a big ol' bag of balls.
@Playstation1995
There has been a breach of Capcom and 1tb of data been stolen apparently, so who knows what kind of leaks will happen soon.
