SONY has dished out a load of free games that you can enjoy on PlayStation this week.
There are nine new titles coming to your consoles as part of a major software upgrade.

They’re all part of Sony’s PlayStation Plus membership scheme, which is the subscription that gets you online gameplay.
But it also grants you access to a massive rolling library of free video games to enjoy.
Games regularly vanish from this list – in fact, six are due to disappear in weeks.
But Sony confirmed that an extra nine titles were added on June 17. That includes Battlefield 2042, which currently retails for £69.99 on the official PlayStation Store.
“This month, join forces to tackle the paranormal crises of a mysterious federal agency under siege in the cooperative first-person shooter FBC: Firebreak,” said PlayStation’s Adam Michel.
“Lead your team to victory in the iconic all-out warfare of Battlefield 2042, test your skills as a new Fazbear employee managing and maintaining the eerie pizzeria of Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted 2.
“Or live for the thrill of the hunt in the realistic hunting open world theHunter: Call of the Wild.”
All of the games are available to play right now, as long as you have an active PlayStation Plus subscription.
Here’s the list of new titles out now on PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium, along with their official store pricing:
- FBC: Firebreak (PS5) – £32.99
- Battlefield 2042 (PS4, PS5) – £69.99
- Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted 2 (PS5) – £32.99
- theHunter: Call of the Wild (PS4) – £24.99
- We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie (PS4, PS5) – £24.99
- Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes (PS4, PS5) – £44.99
- Train Sim World 5 (PS4, PS5) – £39.99
- Endless Dungeon Definitive Edition (PS4, PS5) – £12.99
And here are the titles that have landed on PS Plus Premium only:
- Deus Ex: The Conspiracy (PS4, PS5) – £11.99
That means the total value of this latest lot of games comes to a whopping £295.91.
Of course, you don’t have to buy the games to enjoy them via PS Plus.

But if they ever leave the library, you’d have to buy them outright to keep playing.
These aren’t free games that you “claim” and then keep forever.
They’re tied to the PS Plus library, so you can only play them for as long as you have a membership – and while they remain in the catalogue.
Once they exit the library, you’ll lose access to the games unless you pay for them.

But one gamer added: “I’m excited to play Endless Dungeon, Deus Ex, and Katamari.”
