On October 6, PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to claim the free PS Plus games for October 2020, which consist of Need for Speed: Payback and Vampyr. However, it seems some subscribers can help themselves to a bonus game this month, as the PlayStation Store has accidentally made the critically-acclaimed From Software game Bloodborne free for PS Plus subscribers.
This appears to be an accident on the part of the PlayStation Store, and so fans shouldn’t expect it to remain free for long. Some users have said that they have been able to successfully redeem a free copy of Bloodborne, but others have said it doesn’t work. In our own testing, we were unable to claim a free copy of Bloodborne, so results may vary. Even so, the game is still being listed as a free PS Plus game at the time of this writing, so it’s worth a shot.
While the PlayStation Store may not have made Bloodborne free for PS Plus subscribers intentionally, maybe it just jumped the gun. Sony has given away bonus PS Plus games in the past, and with it being October, Bloodborne seems like a solid option to drum up extra excitement for the service. Then again, Bloodborne was already a free PS Plus game at one point in the past, so it’s possible this slip-up isn’t indicative of any future plans.
Another possibility is that Bloodborne is appearing as a free PS Plus game due to the fact that the game is set to be a part of the PlayStation Plus Collection on PS5. For the uninitiated, PlayStation Plus subscribers on PS5 will have instant access to a slew of highly-rated PS4 games right at launch, and Bloodborne is one of the games in the lineup. However, that’s just speculation at this time, and it does seem like the most likely explanation is that this is just a bug that will be fixed sooner rather than later.
PS5’s backward compatibility with PS4 will make Bloodborne playable on another system for the first time since the game launched in 2015. There have been rumors that a Bloodborne PC port is in the works, but nothing official has been announced to date.
In the meantime, PlayStation Plus subscribers can still claim the free PS Plus games for September 2020 until October 6. Last month’s offerings included Street Fighter 5 and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, so anyone interested in those games should claim them while they still have the chance.
Bloodborne is out now, exclusively on PS4.
