PlayStation gamers have until 30 May to grab a free download without PS Plus

Although being a PlayStation Plus member has its benefits, those who are unable to join the service still deserve some freebies and luckily, there is one up for grabs right now.

Courtesy of the free-to-join PlayStation Stars loyalty programme, Sony is giving members the chance to get their hands on an epic in-game item for a limited time.

Check out our review for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth below!

If you didn’t already know, the PlayStation Stars loyalty programme rewards players with points simply by booting up their PlayStations and diving into their games.

Points can be earned by tackling in-game challenges, completing campaigns or making purchases in the PlayStation Store. In return, players will be rewarded with points that can be used in exchange for free store credit. Best of all, it’s completely free to join

Additionally, for a limited time, the service is giving owners of 2024’s Final Fantasy VII Rebirth the chance to get their hands on a unique digital collectible: Cloud Strife’s Buster Sword.

Available until 30 May, all players have to do to get it is log into Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Yes, that’s it! However, make sure you activate the specific campaign in the PS Stars app first.

This is just one of many achievements available courtesy of the PS Stars programme. Additionally, players also have until the end of May to get their hands on some free store credit and that is achievable just by playing some select titles.

For PlayStation Plus subscribers, May is another exciting month with one nostalgic platformer being available once again for a limited time as well as 13 games recently being added to the library.

With today being a bank holiday here in the U.K., this is the perfect time to make use of your subscription and download some epic titles before they leave next month.
