Free-to-play games have significantly evolved on the PlayStation 5. The success of titles like Fortnite and Genshin Impact has fueled a surge in free-to-play options.

Top free-to-play games offer potentially months of engaging gameplay at no cost. Some boast visuals and gameplay rivaling paid titles. Even those that don't are ideal for shorter play sessions. This list highlights some of the best.

Note that popular PS4 titles playable on PS5 are included. Rankings prioritize quality, with newer releases initially featured higher.
