PlayStation is offering a free game to all PS4 and PS5 owners, but you only have 24 hours to claim it. Free games aren’t often given away on PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo’s online stores – Steam is the main platform that regularly does this. Developers have said it’s simply easier to offer games for free on Steam compared to consoles. This is PlayStation’s first free game offer of 2026, and it ends on April 13th.
PlayStation users can currently download the game Graveyard Keeper for free on both PS4 and PS5, including Pro versions. You don’t need a PlayStation Plus subscription to claim it! This offer ends on April 13th, after which the game will return to its regular price of $20. Graveyard Keeper was originally released for PS4 and doesn’t have a special PS5 version, but it works on PS5 thanks to backward compatibility.
Free PS4 and PS5 Game
Players seem to really enjoy this new free game on the PlayStation Store, giving it a 4.4 out of 5-star rating based on over 3,800 reviews – which translates to an 88 out of 100. This positive feedback matches what players are saying on other platforms. However, professional critics haven’t been as impressed, with a score of 69 on Metacritic. While it’s common for player and critic opinions to differ, it’s something to consider before downloading Graveyard Keeper from PSN.
This giveaway isn’t just about generosity; it’s a clever way to build excitement for the upcoming sequel, which is expected to launch later this year. The promotion has been very successful, not only generating buzz for the new game but also bringing a surge of players back to the original – it recently had more people playing at the same time than it has in seven years, since it first came out.
So, I recently jumped into Graveyard Keeper, and honestly, don’t let the price fool you – this game is a time sink! It took me around 45-50 hours just to finish the main story, and if you mess around with the side stuff, expect even longer. If you’re a completionist like me, trying to do everything in the game, especially with the new PS5 and PS4 version, you’re looking at closer to 70-75 hours. It’s a surprisingly long game for a management sim!
