The PlayStation 5 launch catalog will be mainly represented by Marvel‘s Spider-Man: Miles Morales , but among the novelties that will be released with the new Sony console, there will also be some interesting ones such as Destruction AllStars . Or well, rather, there was, since the game has been delayed until February.
One less game to release your console
It is surprising that with less than a month to go until PS5 hits stores around the world, PlayStation has announced that Destruction AllStars will be left out of the launch catalog. We are talking about a multiplayer game that was present as an example in the last demo video of the PlayStation 5 interface, so it is quite strange that the game falls from the premiere in such a precipitous way.
They need players
In the official PlayStation blog we can read the official statement about it, and that is where they very gently comment on what could be the reason for the delay. According to the company, to enjoy the game there will be nothing better than playing in the company of many other players, so with the intention that the maximum possible number of players can have it, the game will arrive through the PS Plus subscription. But of course, later.
In the end, free
Planned for November 19, Destruction AllStars will not arrive until February 2021, and instead of having to pay the 79.99 euros that it was going to cost, Sony will include it completely free of charge in February through its PS Plus service, although yes, it will only be available for free for two months, since it will then recover its usual price, so you will have to be quick to include it in your personal library. All those who have already reserved the game can request a refund at no cost, and they will only have to wait until February to play it.
Is there any other reason for your delay?
Considering that the game was finished and they have not pulled the classic “we need more months to improve the game”, it is quite surprising that Sony admits that they are going to need players so that they can generate games that are sufficiently requested so as not to have problems at the time to create a new game session.
Does this mean that PS5 sales estimates have dropped? Fewer players to play are obviously fewer consoles on, so this delay in the game a month after the launch of the console only makes us suspicious of what is brewing on PlayStation.
On the other hand, a game that had a label of 80 euros will be given away three months later, an overly generous gesture that also raises certain unknowns around launch planning. What exactly happened in Destruction AllStars ?
