PlayStation 5 Free-To-Play Games Roundup (Jan

This guide explores the best free-to-play games available on the PlayStation 5, a category that's seen significant growth recently. The popularity of titles like Fortnite and Genshin Impact has driven many developers to adopt this model. High-quality free-to-play games offer potentially months of gameplay at no cost, with some even rivaling paid titles in terms of visuals and gameplay. Even if those are exceptions, many free games are ideal for shorter play sessions. This list highlights some of the best, including popular PS4 titles playable on the PS5. Rankings prioritize quality, with newer releases initially featured prominently.

This list was updated January 5, 2024, to include a noteworthy addition: a free PS VR2 game (details below). Note that the PS VR2 game selection is limited.
