Summary
Sony is offering newPlayStation 5owners the chance to claim a free game. Sony’sPS5console has been around for nearly three years, and it has never had a problem moving units at any point in his history. PS5 sales have been incredibly strong out of the gate, though its popularity contributed to the extreme console shortages that defined the first two years of its existence.
PS5 shortages were a serious problem for the first couple of years of the console’s life, thanks to a combination of unprecedented demand, supply chain issues, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and scalpers. ThePS5 supply issues have mostly been resolvedat this point, and while Sony still doesn’t need to do much convincing to get consumers to buy a PS5, the company has an offer available to entice gamers to get a new PS5.

PS5 Upgrader Program Free Games List
New PS5 owners will want to be strategic when it comes to picking out their free game. Some of these titles are readily available to play through thePS Plus Extra and Premium subscription services, so it would make more sense to claim something else. Players will also want to be mindful that they don’t double-dip and get a game that may have been a part of their PS5 bundle, likeHorizon Forbidden West.
PS5 gamers that can take advantage of this free game offer will also want to take game length and price into account. For example,Spider-Man: Miles Moralesis much shorter thanSpider-Man Remasteredand has a budget price.Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apartis also a relatively short game. However, titles likeGod of War RagnarokandGhost of Tsushima: Director’s Cutare a lot bigger. And then there’sUncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collectionto consider, which comes with bothUncharted 4and the acclaimedLost Legacyexpansion. Whatever the case may be, eligible PS5 owners have until October 20 to decide.
