A new game is now available for free on the PlayStation Store – a rare find! Most free games have in-app purchases, but this one is completely free with no hidden costs. Plus, players are actually enjoying it, based on its reviews. All PS5 and PS5 Pro owners can download it without needing a PlayStation Plus subscription.
PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro owners can currently download Chess Mate from Cudit Games at no cost. The game has been available as a free download for a while now, and players seem to be enjoying it – it currently has a 4.33 out of 5-star rating based on almost 300 reviews, which translates to a score of 87 out of 100. As there isn’t a Metacritic score and one isn’t expected, this user feedback is the best indication of the game’s quality.
As you might guess from the name, Chess Mate is a chess game designed for both beginners and seasoned players. It offers an impressive 16 difficulty levels, giving players plenty of options to match their skill. You can also personalize the game with three different chess piece sets, and even more are available for purchase in the in-game store.
Both PS5 and PS5 Pro owners can download this new free game from the PlayStation Store. However, the game doesn’t offer any special features specifically for the PS5 Pro, which isn’t unexpected given it’s a chess game.
Look, there are a few chess games you can get on the PlayStation Store, but honestly, Chess Mate is the one I’m excited about. It’s totally free, which is amazing because it’s currently the only free chess game on PS5! And get this – even though it’s free, people actually seem to love it more than the games you have to pay for. So, if you’re looking for a chess game on PS5, I think Chess Mate is the best option right now.
