The PlayStation 5 boasts a compelling selection of free-to-play games, a category that has significantly evolved in recent years. Driven by the success of titles like Fortnite and Genshin Impact, many developers are embracing the free-to-play model.

Top free-to-play games offer potentially months of engaging gameplay at no cost. Some even rival the visual quality and gameplay of paid titles. Even if those are exceptions, many free options are ideal for shorter gaming sessions. Below are some of the best free PS5 games available.

Note that some popular PS4 titles, playable on PS5, are included. Rankings prioritize quality, with newer releases initially featured prominently.

Updated January 5, 2024, by Mark Sammut: While primarily relevant to a niche group of PS5 owners, the PlayStation Store offers a range of excellent PS VR2 games. Free experiences are less common, but a notable exception emerged in November 2024. See the link below for details on this free PS VR2 game.
