The weekend is finally here and what better way to celebrate than by getting stuck into a free game, especially when the weather is as bad as it is right now? Luckily, PlayStation is giving both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 users the chance to explore titles from an extensive library.
From Metroidvanias to co-op horror and coming-of-age narratives to an animated grand sea adventure, this batch of six games is guaranteed to have something for you, and better yet, they are completely free.
PlayStation Gamers Can Grab These 6 Free Demos Now
In a narrative adventure about dreams, grief, and hope, Fishbowl will task you with rediscovering your memories and finding your way to a future of healing. Where slice-of-life meets the surreal, Fishbowl launches in April and is already considered to be one of the best indie games of the year so far. Luckily, it is free to check out courtesy of a PlayStation demo.
However, if you are looking for something a bit more fast-paced, Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a stealth platformer game where you will take on the role of Ayana, the last descendant of a forgotten race. Thanks to mystical shadow powers, and high-tech gadgets, you will be able to uncover the truth about your past and find the key to saving the world. No pressure.
Or perhaps a rhythm game might appeal to you, especially if it looks as good as Rhythm Towers. In this tower defense strategy title set in Planet Rhapsody, you will need to make every beat count as you build and upgrade defensive towers that also double as musical instruments. This will be the only way to keep the rhythm-hating creeps at bay and build your very own soundtrack.
There Are Some Real Gems In Here
That’s not all! Mina the Hollower is also up for grabs courtesy of a free demo. Set to arrive on PC later this year, this 2D platformer will see you take control of Mina, a renowned Hollower who embarks on a desperate mission to rescue a cursed island. In a pixel-perfect world, whip enemies, burrow through the ground, and take on unique levels, all from the creators of Shovel Knight.
From the creators of Little Nightmares, REANIMAL is a brand-new co-op horror title which will take players on a much darker journey than ever before. Follow the story of a young brother and sister duo who must go through hell to rescue their missing friends and escape the island which they used to call home.
Last but not least is Darwin’s Paradox! Tactical Octopus Action from publisher Konami. Become Darwin the octopus who is torn from the ocean and forced to try and survive in a vast and mysterious industrial complex. Luckily, thanks to his unique talents and abilities, he will be able to make the most out of the situation by overcoming a series of platforming puzzles and adventures.
All of these games and hundreds more are currently free to try out ahead of their full launch. This will give you the perfect opportunity to try-before-you-buy and even provide feedback so that your time with the full game will be even better.
