The PlayStation 5 boasts a compelling selection of free-to-play games, a category that has significantly evolved in recent years. The immense popularity of titles like Fortnite and Genshin Impact has spurred many developers to embrace the free-to-play model.
Top free-to-play titles can provide hundreds of hours of entertainment at no cost. Some offer visuals and gameplay comparable to premium releases. Even if those are exceptions, many free games are ideal for shorter play sessions. This list highlights some of the best free PS5 games available.
Note that some popular PS4 titles, playable on PS5, are included. Rankings are primarily based on quality, with newer releases generally appearing higher.
