Free-to-Play PlayStation 5 Games Unveiled (January 2025)

This guide explores the best free-to-play games available on the PlayStation 5, a genre that has exploded in popularity in recent years. Many titles now utilize the free-to-play model, offering engaging gameplay and sometimes surprisingly high-quality visuals, comparable to paid games. Even if not all free games reach that level, many are perfect for shorter gaming sessions. This list includes some popular PS4 titles playable on PS5 and prioritizes newer releases at the top, though overall ranking is based on quality.

This list was updated January 5, 2024, to include a noteworthy free PS VR2 game (released November 2024), though this addition is relevant only to PS VR2 owners. See the link below to jump directly to that entry.
