Genres are plentiful and there is no compromise in quality for the sake of its cost. Here is a curated list of exciting free games to play on the Sony PS5 that don’t cost a single cent of your money.
5. Fortnite Battle Royale
Epic Games’ Fortnite reinvented the battle royale format by combining building with traditional third-person combat. The concept revolves around 100 players skydiving onto an island, scavenging for gear to protect themselves from other players.
- Fortnite Battle Royale started as a companion game to Fortnite: Save the World but went on to eclipse it exponentially. The free-to-play game is now a massive cultural phenomenon with references creeping into music, movies, and social media.
4. Genshin Impact
Genshin Impact is an action RPG, set in an anime-style environment. The open world is vast and immersive, alongside some fantastic combat mechanics.
- Much like Fortnite, Genshin Impact is a free-to-play game that monetizes through characters and weapons.
- It was initially released as a mobile game for Android and iOS and later made its way to Sony PS5 as a free-to-play game in 2021.
3. Rocket League
Do you like playing soccer? Do you like playing car-based video games? Then, you must be totally up for playing soccer, but with rocket-powered cars as the players. Rocket League’s gameplay is just as quirky as it sounds.
- The game became an unprecedented hit since its release in 2015 and went free-to-play in 2020 across all platforms including the Sony PlayStation 5.
2. Call of Duty Warzone 2.0

- The free-to-play game makes complete use of Sony’s PS5 DualSense Controller’s haptics. The game is a nostalgia machine for PlayStation fans thanks to its cameos and references to Uncharted and God of War.
Some honorable mentions go to exciting and well-made titles like Destiny 2, Warframe, MultiVersus, and Overwatch 2.
