Did you get a PS5 for Christmas? Here are the best free games you can get without spending a cent more

Posted on by Amelia Pressman

Buy one PlayStation 5 (or a Pro) is already a big investment without having to spend more on games to play on it. The Sony console is one of the most popular gifts this holiday season, and it makes sense that those who receive it will start playing immediately as soon as they complete the initial setup. But there is a lot more life than Fortnite on the PS Store right now, so we leave you with some examples to make your Christmas day extra special. Remember: All games that are free to play do not require a PS Plus subscription.

These are the best free games to enjoy your PS5 this Christmas

  • Genshin Impact | The great game from miHoYo. At times it feels like Breath of the Wild; others, a light but engaging open role-playing world. The anime aspect gives it the necessary twist for a title that is one of the classics in the free-to-play catalog. It’s one of the best ways to immerse yourself in missions for hours.
  • My first Gran Turismo | If you can’t afford Gran Turismo 7, Polyphony Digital offers this curated experience that revives some iconic elements of the franchise. You can drive 18 cars on 3 legendary tracks. It includes some routes to learning the game, including the license tests that bring fans so much joy in episode after episode. Highly recommended.
  • Astro’s Playroom | It comes pre-installed on all PS5s, but you might see it and think it’s nonsense. Not at all. Astro Bot, its older brother, is the GOTY 2024 for a reason. This game will allow you to demonstrate what it is capable of in 2-3 hours of play. It’s a platform that can revive some of the legendary PlayStation licenses (while reflecting on the history of PlayStation).
  • The finale | Some of the creators of Battlefield left DICE to found a studio whose debut film is the one we are talking about in these lines. If we talk about competitive shooters, The Finals is one of the best today. Destruction galore in games is condensed into action galore and unlikely situations. Highly recommended.
  • Rocket League | The best football game is not played with people, but with rocket-powered cars. Rocket League has been another legend of the multiplayer grid since its release on PS4, but the game continues to enjoy great health. Warning: If you feel like you’re getting better quickly while playing, you’ll stay addicted for a long time.
  • Zenless Zone Zero | This game from the makers of Genshin Impact combines elements that exude personality. The cycles and social life of Persona with the hack and slash of a Devil May Cry. It is a game that stands out for always offering quality content, with rhythm and without pause. And, by the way, much more generous than other games from the company.
  • Destiny 2 | There are few shooters that are better than the Bungie classic. It goes into the decade and continues to hold an important place in the console catalog. Although you can’t play raids and some content without PS Plus, the main content is not restricted in any way. It’s a shooter you have to try once in your life.
  • The Sims 4 | Yes, The Sims 4 base version is available on console at no additional cost. You can use all the basic features of the game and all the elements that it brought in its original release. From there you can get expansions that incorporate more gaming systems into the structure, but what it means to raise families and live a life can be paid for without paying a dime.
  • Marvel Rivals | It is one of the games that has caused a stir in this last phase of the year. Imagine all of Marvel’s heroes and villains together in a sort of third-person Overwatch.
  • Batman: The Telltale Series | If you want to focus a little more on the narrative, one of the best games from Telltale (the makers of the video game adaptation of The Walking Dead) is offering the first episode for free. It’s about Batman. It’s hard not to like Batman. So why should we fool ourselves?
