10 best free games on PS5 in 2023

There is a decent assortment of free PS5 games you can pick up for your consoles right now. But which ones are the best to play and deserve your time? When I considered this, I avoided any title with a required subscription, or those that are only free as long as you’re subscribed to PSN. So, there are no PS+ games on this list, and there is no particular order of preference either.

It was a serious challenge to narrow down this list of PS5 titles, though. Several almost made the cut, like Astro’s Playroom. Even though it's not present here, it’s a must-play game, and every PlayStation 5 comes with it. It’s adorable, and it teaches players how the console works in a fun way.

That said, there aren’t really any other PS5 exclusives that are free. Even with that in mind, the console has a magnificent library as is, so this wasn’t a big deal. All the games on this list can be played elsewhere, but why do it on your PC when you can play on your PS5?

While there are several games in the same vein as Monster Hunter, few of them are free and on the PS5. Dauntless has a unique visual style and offers a genuinely fun free-to-play monster-hunting experience. While the name of the game is still hunting monsters (Behemoths), there is far more content present now than there was during its launch in 2021.

I love Dauntless' style and gameplay, and though I haven’t had the time to devote to it as I would like, I think it’s an incredibly fun monster-hunting title. You can play it on the PS5, and enjoy those amazing load times and striking visuals from the comfort of your couch.

Fortnite had to make the list. Frankly, Epic Games' title is a juggernaut in the battle royale
