Sony is giving away 11 games as part of its latest Play at Home campaign. The highlights include Horizon Zero Dawn and Ratchet & Clank, along with the likes of Astro Bot. These titles could be downloaded for free by all PlayStation users, including those who do not have a PlayStation Plus subscription.
Gaming Console

Sony has launched another Play at Home campaign for PlayStation users. This time, the company will be giving away 11 games, such as Ratchet & Clank. We should stress that Ratchet & Clank will only be free until April 1 at 04:00 BST, or March 31 at 20:00 PDT.

Another is Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition, which currently costs US$16.99 on Amazon. Horizon Zero Dawn will be available for free from April 20 April at 04:00 BST (April 19 20:00 PT) until May 15 May at the same times. In the interim, Sony will make Abzu, Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Enter the Gungeon, Rez Infinite, Subnautica, The Witness, Moss, Thumper and Paper Beast available to download for free. Some of these titles support PlayStation VR, too.

All of these are PlayStation 4 games, but they support the PlayStation 5 through backwards compatibility. Please note that some of these games are unavailable to download in China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand. Sony has outlined which games are unavailable in its blog post. Additionally, Sony is offering a longer free trial of Funimation, or Wakanim depending on your region, its in-house anime streaming service. You can find details about the promotion in the same post.
