PS5 launch title Destruction All Stars has been delayed to February, when it will be a PS Plus game

Sony has delayed the release of Destruction All Stars from November 12, 2020 to February 2021.

Originally planned as a full-price PS5 launch title, the vehicle-based combat game will now be released next year, when it will be made available through PlayStation Plus for two months at no additional cost.

“Destruction AllStars is a multiplayer game that’s at its best when you’re competing with gamers online from all around the world,” said Pete Smith, director of product development at Sony Interactive Entertainment.

“We want as many people as possible to experience the mayhem on PS5, and what better way to do that than to provide the game to our PlayStation Plus members?”

Smith added: “This may be disappointing news for some of you who were looking to play the game at launch, but we hope you understand the decision.

“For those of you that have already pre-ordered the game, be it via PlayStation Store, PlayStation.com, or at retail, your purchase will be refunded.”

A new trailer and more information about Destruction AllStars, which is developed by Lucid Games, will be released next week.

October’s PlayStation Plus games are Need for Speed: Payback and Vampyr.
