PlayStation ending 2024 with surprise free download you can claim now

PlayStation users are being blessed with yet another freebie if they play one of several renowned games.

As we near the end of the year, we can finally open up PlayStation Wrapped, which tells us what games we played, how long we played them for, and how much time we wasted instead of having a social life.

Who needs parties and other social gatherings when you’ve got Astro Bot anyway?

That’s not all that’s on offer though, as a new freebie is available for those who are willing to play a few more games before the end of the year.

If you log into the PlayStation app on your phone and check out the PlayStation Stars page, you’ll see it’s been updated to include a new '30th Anniversary Playlist' freebie, and unlocking it is simple via the 'PlayStation Wrap-Up 2024' campaign.

All you need to do is play any of the following games: Twisted Metal 2, Jeanne d’Arc, Jak And Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, LocoRoco Remastered, Tomb Raider: Legend, and Patapon Remastered.

PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to complete this challenge easily, so pick a game that appeals to you and give it a go.

That’s not the only freebie on offer though as elsewhere on PlayStation Stars, there's a unique Polygon Man-themed challenge that involves players deciphering a puzzle to figure out which games they need to play.

Completing this challenge will net you a digital collectable of Polygon Man, PlayStation’s former mascot before he was locked away for being too creepy.

There are many other offers on at the moment for PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, so it’s up to you to boot up your PlayStation consoles and see what the celebrations have in store for you.

The best reward by far though are exclusive discounts on some of PlayStation’s most popular games, so if any are still on your to-play list, now might be a good time to scoop them up while they’re reduced in price.
