SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated is available to redeem and download for completely free as part of PlayStation Plus a whole four days early on the PS Store. Originally announced to be hitting the service next Tuesday on 5th April 2022, Sony's digital marketplace is letting users grab the PS4 remaster much earlier on the UK and EU store. This means you'll be able to take the game for a spin this weekend if you've nothing else to play — as long as you have an active subscription, of course.
On PS5, the title doesn't appear under the PS Plus icon that's now tagged to the start of the home screen. Instead, you must search for it on the PS Store. Button through to the store page and you should then see the "Add to Library" option.
If you're unsure whether to bother with the game, check out our PS4 review, where we awarded the remaster a 7/10. If you do decide to play, we have a handy guide to all the collectibles in the game. At the time of writing, April 2022's other free PS Plus titles, Slay the Spire and Hood: Outlaws & Legends, aren't listed as free just yet.

Hmmm. This is strange. Will grab it soon and see what it's like
You might say...
...He's ready.
I actually had a notification on the ps5 to say a game in my wishlist had been reduced.I went to delete it remembering it was going.to be with Plus and noticed it was free.
This is great as it's the only game in the line up I was excited about.
I had this weird bug...I could download the game for free for months! It started right after I bought it on a sale...after that it just shows up in my library 😂
Well shucks. My ps+ already expired and now I'm just waiting for the remainder of my psnow to get converted to ps+ premium in June. I'll miss out on a few. This is one I'd actually have played instead of most ps+ games the past year.
Whoooooooooo...
Downloading right now.
@sentiententity you can get 3 months of PS+ so you don't miss out until the revamp.
It popped notification to my phone in the morning that I can now download it and I even had to double check what day it is. Just came home from work and hopefully it finished downloading. Been waiting all day to play it
Downloading it now thanks for the heads up 👍🏻
Already own the game physically, but might claim the digital copy just because.
Played this on the gamecube lol.
Might try it for nostalgia.
@GoodGame Do tell, please!
@sentiententity can you (or someone else for that matter) explain. I am non-english speaker and I do find it little bit confusing. Which of the three PS pluses will give me the library of PSNow as it is right now with all the titles? Thanks in advance.
Damn, not available on my PS4 yet (I'm from the US)
@eM1x029 the middle tier.
@eM1x029 I just searched for it. It's there as a plus game already. It's not in the Plus section yet, but I downloaded it. It's not bad either lol
Watch us all get charged £25 for it 😂
Already got the platinum ages ago. I hope they have patched this now because I bought it a month after release and it was a buggy mess
@WizzNL not easy, buggy. 30hrs this one
@WizzNL thanks for the info. I have read the same article, which you posted, and I still find it confusing (maybe I'm stupid, or it's my bad English IDK), because they don't seem to mention that it's going to be exactly the same PSNow, but somehow different. Anyway... we'll see. I have flourished on PS Plus for a couple of years, I guess I can go on....
@GoodGame yes, I saw...and I tried it for hour or so, but it's not my kind of game (I'm old/er now).
