The ps4 ps5 free game giveaway makes Graveyard Keeper available to all PlayStation users for 24 hours on the PlayStation Store, and no PlayStation Plus subscription is required to download and keep it.
Lazy Bear Games developed the management title and tinyBuild published it, and Sony has set the offer to expire on April 13, after which the game will revert to its normal $20 price point.
The PlayStation Store entry shows a favorable user score of 4.4 out of 5 from more than 3,800 reviews, which the store converts to an 88 out of 100 rating, while critics gave the game a 69 on Metacritic.
The version offered is the original PlayStation 4 release, which has not received a native PlayStation 5 edition but runs on PlayStation 5 through backward compatibility.
Sony and the publishers framed the giveaway as promotion for a newly announced sequel slated for release later this year, and the free release drove the game to its highest concurrent player count since becoming free, seven years after its original launch.
Players should expect a substantial playtime, with about 45 to 50 hours to beat the main campaign and roughly 70 to 75 hours for completionists, according to reporting about the title's typical runtimes.
Related PlayStation Promotion Offers Movie Credit For Playtime
Sony is also offering a separate promotion tied to its PS Plus catalog, where players who run Resident Evil Village for at least 30 minutes from the PS Plus Extra catalog will qualify for a movie credit redeemable on Sony Pictures Core.
The company is emailing eligible subscribers and asking them to play by April 30, and recipients must download the Sony Pictures Core app and link their PlayStation Network account for the credit to be applied automatically by May 8.
Sony said the offer goes to PS Plus Extra and Premium users, and the company did not confirm whether PS Plus Essential subscribers, non-members, or players who own Resident Evil Village outright qualify for the credit.
The movie credit can be used on any film available in the Sony Pictures Core library, and the promotion is separate from PS Plus Premium's current movie catalog offerings.
Readers who want to be certain of eligibility have been advised to launch Resident Evil Village specifically from the Extra catalog to secure the credit under the terms described in the emails.
