PlayStation drops free PS5 download you can claim now without PS Plus

You can claim free DLC for a beloved PlayStation platform game right now and you don’t even need to be a PS Plus subscriber.

This week brought the launch of the highly anticipated PlayStation 5 exclusive Astro Bot. Judging by the pre-release trailers as well as our hands-on preview, I think most of us expected it to be a cracking game. Yet, it’s probably fair to say that Astro Bot is still exceeding expectations.

Check out the Astro Bot trailer below!

In our review of Astro Bot, which scored a 10/10, we said: “If you’ve grown up with PlayStation always having been a constant in your life, the journey you’re about to embark on will assuredly be the most heartwarming trip down memory lane. Astro Bot is a monumental triumph that I’m not going to stop thinking about for a very, very long time.”

What’s more, it’s not just GAMINGbible that is impressed by Astro Bot because, at the time of writing, it’s the highest-rated PlayStation 5 exclusive of all time and the highest-rated game across all platforms this year.

If you love platform games but have not been able to buy Astro Bot yet but want to get a small slice of that pie, then you might want to check out the fantastic Sackboy: A Big Adventure, developed by Sumo Digital, originally released in 2020.

If you subscribe to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium, you can play Sackboy: A Big Adventure today at no extra cost. However, if you already own the game, you can claim a free Astro Bot costume and you don't even need to be a subscriber to PS Plus - just head to the PS Store.

What’s more, Sackboy: A Big Adventure has tons of free DLC inspired by classic PlayStation mascots and much more. It’s an endlessly charming game that you can also play with three other friends and we recommend checking it out.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure is out now on PC and modern PlayStation consoles. As for Astro Bot, that’s out now exclusively on PS5.
