Free to play games!

[weirdfeline]

This is an evolving list of free to play games that are, or potentially are releasing on PlayStation. I try to include a diverse list of what seem to be quality titles. This is not a list of every free to play game releasing and for the most part are ones I'm personally interested in keeping track of.

Feel free to share your thoughts on any past, present or future free to play games whether they are listed here or not.

It may be better to organize your list by genre. On that note, I'm glad that there are more than FPS, hero shooters, and battle royale games, as those genres aren't ones I find interesting. I generally don't play free-to-play games, but I may try out two or three (very) briefly sometime later on.

MultiVersus - Smash Bros. with DC/WB/Cartoon Network characters.

I've heard about this game, but I didn't know that it'd be free.

DokeV: A monster collecting game I think with very impressive visuals.

I'm not sure how I feel about its art style. It seems a little off-putting. It may just be the children aspect.

Good idea, I'll also probably add more games that are currently released like Brawhalla which is another free to play "platform fighter".

One game I'm honestly excited for that's free to play (coming later this month) is called Be Funny Now. It's created by jacksfilms, one of my favorite YouTubers, and I can't wait to try it once it releases. On the 3DS, some other Free to play games I know of on the 3DS are Stretchmo (a game in the Pushmo series), Steel Diver Sub Wars and Pokemon Picross (Neither of which I tried). Nintendo Badge Arcade and Rusty's Real Deal Baseball (both of which require in-game purchases to progress past a certain point).

I can't think of any others unless you count games that you unlocked with Club Nintendo points or My Nintendo points.

I've played a lot of Nintendo Badge Arcade even though it took about five minutes just to load it.

The one I'm waiting for is Gundam Evolution, unfortunately I couldn't participate to the test because I missed the information.

I had made the beta of KartRider one or two years ago but I don't expect it especially.

Disney speedstorm interests me, I registered for the beta.

I'm excited for Gundam Evolution. I registered for KartRider but wasn't selected. Disney Speedstorm is an interesting one, not sure if it's gonna be completely different from the publisher's Asphalt series or not.

Realm Royale is back and better than ever in Realm Royale Reforged!

This game that was briefly popular four years ago just got a new update after being dead for over two years. A team of just nine developers have brought new changes to the game that the very tiny remaining fanbase wanted. Pretty interesting as that's something you don't see happen a lot. There's also a lot of free rewards for returning and new players. Might be worth checking out and it's a rather small download. Under 6 GB on PlayStation.

The Sims 4 will be going free on October 18 on all platforms. It's about time for a game with so much DLC.

[weirdfeline]

Tray Racers! is releasing on Nintendo Switch April 13!

[weirdfeline]

Very popular battle royale (just under 200k concurrent players on Steam) Naraka: Bladepoint has now transitioned to free to play and is out now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. Not PS4 yet.

I played it abit before on Game Pass and it's pretty fun.  I'll probably check it out some more now that it's F2P.

[kamikazekeeg]

I wrote abit about Naraka in another thread, but it's pretty good.  I've played it a bunch the past couple days, probably a good time to jump into right now as it's both the F2P launch and the 2nd anniversary, so there's a bunch of free stuff to get, along with Twitch drops.  I bought an outfit or two for kicks, but just playing for awhile will net you a handful of hero coins to unlock more heroes to play.  If you don't like the F2P, microtransaction, live service, thing, this won't changer your mind, that's all here with a battle pass, but I've gotten more than a few real nice things out of the lootboxes so far outfit and weapon skin wise.

Most Any game before 2004 should be legal to stream in a Browser for Or sometimes even download off retro ROM websites

Not modern? But hey there free to both download and play or one or the other. On PC

Finally, Gundam Evo will end in November...
