Sony just announced the PlayStation 5 “Upgrader Program,” which lets new PlayStation 5 owners in the US receive one PlayStation-exclusive game completely for free.

Players who purchase a PlayStation 5 console from today in the US should navigate to the PlayStation Store, then click on the Upgrader Program banner to view the available games to choose from.

The full list of games includes:

  • Death Stranding: Director’s Cut
  • Demon’s Souls
  • Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut
  • God of War: Ragnarok
  • Horizon: Forbidden West
  • Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales
  • Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart
  • Returnal
  • Sackboy: A Big Adventure
  • The Last of Us Part I
  • Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection

PlayStation 5 owners can only claim one game per user. It’s worth noting that only account holders who are at least 18 years old can take advantage of this offer, and it’s only valid until Oct. 20, 2023 at 23:59pm PDT.

Many long-time PlayStation fans, as well as PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra subscribers, have likely already played many games in this list. Most are available for free to subscribers, but it’s still a nice surprise for newcomers to the platform.

Sony’s Upgrader Program is likely intended to entice more people to purchase PS5 consoles. The list of games appeals to a broad range of players, with story-driven games like Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Death Stranding: Director’s Cut, alongside challenging games like Returnal and Demon’s Souls, and simple games like Sackboy: A Big Adventure.

Anyone planning to get a PS5 soon should take advantage of this offer while it lasts until Oct. 20.
