PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers gain access to Harvest Moon: Back to Nature starting February 21, 2023 on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Longtime fans and newcomers alike may enjoy the original title while waiting on the next game in the Harvest Moon series. Further, Natsume reached out to Final Weapon to celebrate the impending launch of Harvest Moon: Back to Nature for PlayStation Plus Premium.
