The PlayStation 5 boasts a compelling selection of free-to-play games, a category that has seen remarkable growth in recent years. Driven by the success of titles like Fortnite and Genshin Impact, many developers are embracing the free-to-play model.

Note that some popular PS4 titles, playable on PS5, are included. While rankings generally reflect game quality, newer releases will initially be featured prominently.
