Gorgeous Indie Game Animal Well Joins PS Plus Extra Day One on PS5

Sony has today announced that Animal Well, a picturesque, pixelated platformer, will be joining PS Plus Extra the same day it launches on PS5. From 9th May, 2024, you’ll be able to check out this curious title as part of your subscription.

In case you’re unaware, Animal Well casts you as a small character that finds themselves in the confines of a strange, mysterious, underground world. It’s your job to explore it, Metroidvania style, finding new items and abilities as you try to piece together the otherworldly goings on in this network of caves. The well is filled with various animals, and you won’t know whether they’re friends or foes until you interact with them.

Interestingly, this is the third game in quick succession that’ll be joining PS Plus Extra on day one. Dave the Diver and Tales of Kenzera: ZAU are also part of the service the moment they launch. It seems Sony is perhaps aiming to do more day one PS Plus launches this year.

We’ve loved the look of Animal Well since we first saw it, so this is a win in our book. Will you be checking it out as part of PS Plus Extra when it arrives in early May? Let us know in the comments section below.
