It’s fairly obvious that with any future PS Plus promotions, the same procedure of adding games to the PS5 library without the necessity to launch the console will be available. Still, the same steps of claiming Bugsnax apply to the rest of the world. In the majority of global territories, PS5 will premiere in a week, on November 19. According to GameSpot, this can already be done in Australia, which is among the first countries to sell PS5 during its initial launch wave. All that’s needed is for the game’s page to go live in a particular region, after which active PS Plus subscribers can access the title through the PS Store and claim it. The PS5 drawing 0.5W of power compared to the PS5's 8.5W is certainly quite the energy saving.Related: PS5 Console Breaks Completely Due To Storage GlitchĪlthough PS5 is currently available in select territories only, those who are willing to add Bugsnax to their PS5 library without actually owning the console can absolutely do so. 'If just one million users enable this feature, it would save equivalent to the average electricity use of 1,000 US homes.'Īccording to a report published by the National Resources Defense Council back in 2014, the PS4 and Xbox One both draw massive amounts of power in standby - the PS4, 8.5 watts, and the Xbox One 15.7. 'I am also very pleased to announce the next-generation PlayStation console will include the possibility to suspend gameplay with much lower power consumption than PS4 (which we estimate can be achieved at around 0.5 W),' explained Sony Entertainment CEO, Jim Ryan in a PlayStation Blog post at the end of 2019.

Now of course, leaving your PS5 in standby mode is going to consume more energy than turning it off entirely, but it's way more energy-efficient than the PS4 ever was.
