PlayStation Officially Drops 5 New Free Downloads You Don't Need PS Plus For (November 14)

Published Nov 14, 2026, 7:00 PM EST James is a gaming writer from London who has spent thousands of hours exploring titles from every genre. Though he has a particular affinity for multiplayer titles like World of Warcraft, Destiny 2 and League of Legends, he has also put thousands of hours into single-player experiences, from deep RPGs to epic PC strategies. When he's not playing or writing, he can usually be found supporting his beloved Brentford FC. The next few months are inevitably going to be dominated by GTA VI's arrival on the scene after all these years, but it's important to remember that there is a big, broad world of video games out there that are well worth playing. Whether you're on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo or PC, it's more than possible to have a good time without parting with too much of your hard-earned cash. That said, it's crucial that you know exactly what you're heading into before committing to a purchase, in a world where accountability and refunds are harder to get than ever. Though the beloved demo discs included for free in magazines are very much a thing of the past, the digital storefronts for each ecosystem include a range of sample offerings that should help inform you on whether a game is the right fit or not. PlayStation has one of the widest selections available, including five new free downloads for games that look like they have a lot of potential. Though PlayStation Plus is obviously the way to get access to a bunch of complete games, without the full cost of each individual title, the platform's demo range is open to everyone, and a great way to decide what to buy. This time around, players can grab Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival, HELL OF FEAR: Mind Breach, Where the Seeds Fall, Waltz and Jam, and RACCOIN: Chaos Max Edition. Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival is the most recent and noteworthy of those, a survival horror action developed and published by Saber Interactive, based on the iconic Pinhead. The game is currently sitting on a pretty spectacular 9/10 rating over on Steam, with more than 5,000 reviews currently registered on the store. HELL OF FEAR: Mind Breach is a survival horror that's very much built in the same vein as the iconic Dead Space. Players step into the boots of Major Axel Vex as he investigates a distress signal coming from Cengona Base, and it's all about trying to avoid conflict with sinister alien entities, all while investigating clues and trying to find out what happened there. Where the Seeds Fall is a fascinating release that puts 3D platforming and parkour at the center of the equation. It looks very pretty, and it comes with some really interesting mechanics, like flower blossoms that will absorb the impact of longer falls, enabling you to progress further. Waltz and Jam is a single-player action-adventure platformer that's set to get a full release just before Christmas this year. The art style will be the appeal for many here, and there's more than a little Nightmare Before Christmas about its overall appearance, in a game with few comparison points in the genre right now. Last on the list, RACCOIN could also be the best of the bunch. It essentially functions as a roguelike deckbuilder, all within the confines of a coin-pushing machine. It's one of the highest rated games of the year so far, and the purest source of direct dopamine that I can think of. All of those games are available entirely for free on PlayStation right now, all without any requirements to be subscribed. If you're looking to buy a new game for the weekend, playing the above could be a great way to decide.
