PlayStation drops 5 new free downloads you can grab without PS Plus

Sit back and enjoy all that Christmas cheer while enjoying five new free downloads from PlayStation.

Best of all, these freebies don’t require you to be a PlayStation Plus member. It truly is a Christmas miracle (I’ve written that so many times this month, sorry).

When you head to the PlayStation Store, you’ll notice several new demos for you to play.

Despite not delivering a full gaming experience, the variety on offer is sure to keep you busy and satisfied.

Subside is one of these free downloads.

This “immersive” experience brings the beauty and horrors of the deep to life in VR clarity. If you love Subnautica, you need to play this one.

Save Thedas yet again in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

Next up is Dragon Age: The Veilguard Character Creator.

Creating your Rook takes time, but sometimes you can feel the pressure to make a character and get started – with this freebie, that pressure is removed.

Develop your character at your leisure until you’re happy with the result.

For something totally different, there’s Horror Adventure: Zombie Edition.

Prepare for a post-apocalyptic world that requires you to fight your way through in the name of survival.

It covers familiar ground, but it’s no less fun for it.

Experience a touch of Bollywood in Aikyam.

After the mayor mysteriously vanishes, it’s up to you to find them while exploring the beauty of this fantasy RPG.

What really happened, and where will it take you next?

Lastly, there’s Leif's Adventure: Netherworld Hero.

Teamwork is required to work your way through this action-packed adventure, though you need to ensure you take time to admire the hand-drawn art of the game while working together.

Expect puzzles, battles, and secrets.

All of the above are demos that are free to download, no PS Plus necessary.

It’s time to try out something new for a change.

Enjoy!
