Good news, readers: Oddworld: Soulstorm will be made available for free to PlayStation Plus subscribers on the PlayStation 5 when it releases on 6th April. Even better news: the game is launching in little over a month, so surely Sony can’t squeeze it into yet another livestream. It’s felt like Groundhog Day with this title, hasn’t it?
To clarify, the game is launching on both PS5 and PS4, but only the next-gen version will be free – it’s the same deal as Bugsnax, if you recall. Introducing the title on the PlayStation Blog, Lorne Lanning explained: “Soulstorm is the second game in quintology. In it, you will explore massive cinematic scale and weird and wonderful 2.9D environments filled with breathtaking visuals. 2.9D lets you venture into the world. It creates greater scale and action. Adds depth and immersion.”
Also, just to reiterate: this game will be free in April. We still have no idea what March’s PS Plus lineup looks like.

great! now for the march games... oh wait
The second game... out of five? This some big Shenmue play right here.
Can't wait until this is released so I can stop hearing about Oddworld games in these events 😂
Really nice to see this will be free for PS+ in April.
That's one I will enjoy so Im looking forward to it !
I have a terrible habit of getting lured in by Oddworld games by their look, and then giving up after a little while when I hit some terrible difficulty spike. Watching the trailer I could feel the same thing happening again here, so perfect ps+ game for me!
I didn't even hear it announced as a PS plus game live. That is great news!
This is great news. I love the Oddworld games and have fond memories of playing them on PS1. This looks incredible and that it’s free- fantastic.
But what about March? 🤷♂️
Yeah I'm not a fan either but good for other players.
Ive tried a couple of these games and have never been able to put in more than a few hours. I can’t get into them. I’ll give it a go though.
I thought it was the end of March for a second 🤣
@Welsh_Will
I think from the amount of likes you have a lot of us can relate so it’s great it’s gonna be ok PS+
Why only give away the ps5 version on ps plus doesn't seem fair to us PS4 users
The Oddbox is finally coming to completion then... Strangers Wrath, Oddysee and Exxodus all in HD at least now. Just a proper HD version of Munchs Oddysee to go.
A nice surprise
Nice to see Sony dumping on PS4 owners again... Couldn't stomach the 50+ million unit bill obviously.
Awesome, love the Oddworld games. That being said, if there was a physical version, I'd definitely grab that.
Isn’t it possible to claim this game via the app and then be able to play it free on ps5 when you are able to buy a console?
@Hopewell yup!
@Would_you_kindly maybe that's the only way they'd be willing to offer it on ps+? So that it can build some buzz and ps4 owners (plus owners of whatever other platform in will be on) will actually buy it?
@naruball if I'm paying for plus I'd like all the advantages of the subscription not be locked out of getting content because I can't afford to buy or can't get my hands on a ps5
@Would_you_kindly considering we're paying a fortune every year for plus, you're absolutely right. Sony can be so cruel sometimes. I bet they don't even think of the children.
Loved the trailer, makes me tempted to download New "N" Tasty finally and try my hands at it.
Especially with the confirmation that Soulstorm will be free via PS Plus.
