Fancy a little treat that’ll take you into the weekend? You’re in the right place.
A beloved PlayStation 4 game has been made available for free on PlayStation 5 for a limited-time.
Best of all, you don’t need a PlayStation Plus subscription to download it and it’s yours to keep forever.
Oh, and you’re getting a game with a runtime of over 50-hours that should save you around $20. What’s not to love?

If you head over to the PlayStation Store right now, you can secure the brilliant Graveyard Keeper.
Developed by Lazy Bear Games, Graveyard Keeper originally landed in 2018 and is a fun management simulation game where you run, you guessed it, a graveyard.
This is specifically a graveyard within the medieval era so you can picture just how many bodies you have to take care of given the poor life expectancy.
You’ll work to extend your, uh, body burying empire - and you’ll do it with rather nefarious intentions.
Players are encouraged to find shortcuts as “this is a game about the spirit of capitalism, and doing whatever it takes to build a thriving business”.
“Do you really want to spend money on that proper burger meat for the witch-burning festival, when you have so many resources lying around?” devs ask. Cursed.
You can gather new materials to build items that might help your business like shovels or grave markers.
There are also quests. I’ll let the devs do the talking: “These dead bodies don't need all those organs, do they? Why not grind them up and sell them to the local butcher?”
Graveyard Keeper also features dungeons because this is the medieval era after all.
There, you’ll find alchemy ingredients if you want to concoct poison to see off an entire village. It’ll result in good business, after all.
While Stardew Valley is lighter on the murder, you’ll enjoy Graveyard Keeper as it features a similar aesthetic but instead of farming crops here, you’ll be subtly dumping bodies in the local river.
Graveyard Keeper launched to a MetaCritic score of 69, but I feel that’s a bit low. This is a total banger that really doesn’t take itself too seriously.

If you don’t have a PlayStation, I’d question why you’re reading this article but it’s your lucky day, as Graveyard Keeper is also available for free on PC via Steam and Xbox.
The catch is you only have until 13 April to claim it so get a move on.
