PlayStation drops 6 free downloads you don't need PS Plus for

We all know that PlayStation Plus offers up subscribers countless game trials, movies, and full games to play via the catalogue.

However, even non-subscribers have the chance to take advantage of demos, all of which can be downloaded for free, without PlayStation Plus.

So many demos are available on PlayStation with some pirate adventures just waiting

There are hundreds of demos to try out across both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, some for upcoming games, others for older titles, all giving you a chance to try something new.

I’ve hand-picked six great demos that you should be checking out, perhaps something will take your fancy, and you can wishlist it, ready for the next big PSN sale.

Promise Mascot Agency is the brilliant follow-up to Paradise Killer, with some bonkers, off-the-wall humour and engaging gameplay that has you running an agency for mascots.

It turns weird, creepy, and hilarious, this is going to be a big hitter for 2025.

If funny and weird are your thing, then you must play the latest in the Yakuza franchise, Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, which my colleague Rich absolutely adored.

Giving it an 8/10 in his review, Rich was a big fan of the “Fun high-octane combat, naval battles, ship and character customisation.”

The latest in the soulslike genre, The First Berzerker: Khazan is on the horizon, and well worth your time, if you don’t mind dying over and over.

If survival is your thing, and you want to live in a sci-fi world, then Forever Skies has a decent demo to give you a taste of what’s to come on release day.

Another soulslike, also with flairs of anime design, comes to us in AI LIMIT, which will test your skills to the fullest.

Lastly, you simply must try out Crypt Custodian, another game that we love at GAMINGbible. It’s a metroidvania with an adorable kitty in the lead role.
