Despite being hit with a delay back in October, Destruction AllStars has come back with a bang this month, being made available at no additional cost for PlayStation Plus subscribers. The chaotic multiplayer game is claimable now alongside Control: Ultimate Edition and Concrete Genie, delivering two AAA PlayStation 5 experiences and an acclaimed PlayStation 4 gem to players currently subscribed to Sony's service.
For those not sold on Destruction AllStars, PlayStation has debuted a new launch trailer for the game on its YouTube channel, showcasing the title's core gameplay and style. As expected, the short look highlights how insane the vehicular mayhem focused game can be, with cars being destroyed by giant hammers, colossal spinning fans, and bollards that seem to rise at random.

Outside of the range of environmental hazards, it seems players - who pick from a handful of zany avatars - will be able to utilize a series of weapons mounted onto vehicles, with the trailer featuring one car with protruding spikes covering its exterior and another sporting a giant blade capable of slicing cars in half on the hood. Meanwhile, all players without a vehicle are forced to navigate the battlefield on foot, with the footage highlighting players stylishly vaulting over other players' cars and weaving in and out of hazards to trick them into crashing. The entire thing looks like utter mayhem, with players having to play offensively when in cars and defensively when on foot.
Many might remember that Destruction AllStars wasn't always meant to be a key part of February's PS Plus lineup, with PlayStation making the decision back in October to move the game back from its PS5 launch release date. It seems this was for a variety of reasons, the biggest of which being that the game simply wasn't a big enough draw to entice fans to invest $70 to play it. This way around, Destruction AllStars can look to capitalize on the same success as Fall Guys and Rocket League, which both dominated due to being free to redeem during their first months on the PlayStation Store.
As for the other two PS Plus offerings, Control: Ultimate Edition brings Remedy Entertainments surreal shooter to the PS5, bundling the base game with The Foundation and AWE expansions to form a neat package. It will come with a new performance and graphics mode as well, with the former offering 60 FPS gameplay and the latter toning it down to 30 FPS but offering raytracing instead. Concrete Genie, on the other hand, released back in 2019. It sees players take on the role of Ash: a young boy living in a bleak town who discovers a paintbrush with the ability to bring his drawings to life.
