However, by looking at other traditional patterns, many fans have deduced that the next game isHell Let Loose. This is because, while it has featured several betas on PlayStation and not Xbox, it is not yet able to pre-order—something Sony typically does ahead of a game’s PS Plus release. PS Plus skews toward multiplayer games quite often, whichHell Let Looseis, and the game releases on PS5 on October 5—the date it would be available if it is indeed a PS Plus title.

As such,Hell Let Looseis a prime candidate for aPS Plus PS5 release, but this leads to an important question. What exactly isHell Let Loose?
PS Plus: Hell Let Loose – A WWII Shooter
In short, it’s aWW2-based multiplayer tactical first-person shooteroperating on a platoon level of combat. It features iconic 50v50 fights from the Western and Eastern fronts of WW2, including Germans, Americans, and Soviets. Each team features six-man rifle squads, three-man armored squads, and recon squads of two.
It currently features two game modes, Warfare and Offensive, but is currently working on Invasion and Campaign modes. Both current modes focus on capture and control, whereHell Let Loose’s Warfare is won by controlling all sectors or controlling the most at the end of the game, and Offensive features a defensive team defending all sectors and an opposing team trying to capture them all before the time runs out.
There are real-time strategy elements as well, mostly belonging to each side’s appointed commander. The commander is in charge of teams and squads, but also tank deployments, airstrikes, and so on. The latter requires resources that are accumulated by engineers, etc.
Map design is incredibly thorough, featuring locations such asOmaha Beach, Hill 400, Stalingrad, Kursk, and more. They are designed based on their real-world counterparts, utilizing satellite imagery, historical aerial photography, and street-level recreation. While the extent obviously varies, the developer ofHell Let Looseonce described Sainte-Marie-du-Mont as a 1:1 scale battlefield.
Hell Let Looseis already available via Steam, where it has a “Very Positive” standing among 32,000 reviews. The Metacritic reviews of it are mode mixed, putting the games into the 70s there. But, overall, while it remains to be seen, it seems likeHell Let Looseshould serve as a good PS Plus PS5 game. Sony has yet to announce its inclusion yet, but it seems like a fun, safe bet.
Hell Let Loosereleases on PS5 and Xbox Series X on October 5.
