The
seven years
of PlayStation 4 on the market have given enough juice to feed your digital store with all kinds of proposals.
Since those beginnings with DC Universe, Blacklight Retribution and co, PS Store signs a final generation full of experiences with which to accompany its users every morning, noon and night.
Although we already told you which are the best free games to spend this 2021 on PC, we do the same in this piece with the Sony console.
We focus on those Free to Play titles, those proposals that can be accessed and enjoyed at no additional cost.
This list will be updated as the months go
by, so we urge you to stay tuned for all the news that will arrive in the future.

Of all the ones we cite below, 100% are compatible with PS5
.

Genshin Impact
