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. 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.Īnother 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. 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. While the PlayStation Store may not have made Bloodborne free for PS Plus subscribers intentionally, maybe it just jumped the gun.

In our own testing, we were unable to claim a free copy of Bloodborne, so results may vary. 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. 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. 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. Although BloodbornePSX uses a lot of the same level layout as the original, it's shifted around and downsized a bit to match the scope of games at the time of the original PlayStation.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. The combat remains largely the same: enemies swipe at you and you swipe back, hopefully regaining some of the health you lost.

The opening of Bloodborne is notorious for its abundance of enemies, but BloodbornePSX keeps the number small, as if the game couldn't handle that many effects at once. Characters and objects jiggle in place like my computer can't quite handle the graphical fidelity and Bloodborne's Central Yharnam is cut up into separate rooms, complete with an exit animation where you watch your character walk off before a loading screen fills your screen. BloodbornePSX requires some patience before you start to see how far its developers went to make it not feel like a modern game. I played it on a gamepad with D-pad controls and rotating the camera on the triggers, which was a hassle-but in a good way.
