Returnal
Developed by Housemarque, Returnal would make for an ideal PS5 PS Plus game considering the studio’s previous game, Resogun, was one of the first PS4 games to see a release on the premium service. The studio’s latest effort is a third-person title containing roguelike elements, and sees players controlling a space pilot who finds themselves stranded on an alien world and stuck in a time loop.
Kena: Bridge Of Spirits
Ember Lab’s Unreal Engine-powered adventure game is one of the most anticipated indie titles for the PS5, and while it’s also coming to PS4, it would be great to see PS Plus members get this as a freebie for Sony’s new console. It’s something a little different, a bit whimsical, and looks set to take advantage of the DualSense controller to top it all off. Diversity on PS Plus has always been pretty solid, and Kena represents this in spades.

In Bugsnax, players take on the role of a newspaper reporter, who travels to the mysterious Snaktooth Island to capture the resident Bugsnax creatures — half bug, half snack, naturally. For an an indie dev like Young Horses, a PS Plus release would definitely help bring in some punters.
