PlayStation surprise free download available now, no PS Plus required

Whenever we see a PlayStation freebie that doesn’t require a PS Plus subscription, we immediately get excited. If you too enjoy saving those precious pennies, feast your eyes on this surprise, free download available for all who want it.

In fact, this freebie will work even if you don’t have a PlayStation – all you need is a smartphone or PC and you’ll be able to reap those rewards. See, we told you this was a surprising offer.

We're throwing it back to the Genshin Impact launch trailer – seems fitting, no?

But what does this free download consist of? First and foremost, it’s for Honkai: Star Rail. Secondly, there are three separate codes you can redeem to get a collection of useful items and credits. Thirdly, some kind soul on Reddit has listed the codes and provided direct links for each of them.

If you use all three codes, you’ll receive the following for free:

• 100 Stellar Jade
• 40k worth of credit
• Four Traveller’s Guide
• Three Refined Aether
• Five Hypnotic Hammer

For those wondering why HoYoverse has “randomly” shared these codes, they haven’t, with the codes actually originating from the 1.6 version update. As such, these codes are a couple of weeks old now, however, they’re still valid (we checked), which is delighting fans who are used to Genshin Impact codes expiring within “12 hours” as one fan griped.

As with all codes, you can only redeem each one once. Furthermore, you’ll need to have an Honkai: Star Rail account or be willing to create one to get these downloads. From what we’ve seen, these codes will work for those residing in America, Europe, and Asia. No expiration date has been provided, however, we suggest acting sooner rather than later to avoid potential disappointment.

With your new free items and credits in hand, you can savour the twists and turns of this fantasy sci-fi RPG.
