Earlier this year, Sony made the somewhat shocking announcement that PlayStation’s Play at Home Initiative was making a comeback. In early 2020, this initiative provided gamers a few games to play to encourage staying home and helping flatten the curve of the COVID-19 pandemic. Its return likely has the same goals, but it’s back bigger than ever. Alongside other benefits, the firstPlay at Home game wasRatchet and Clank (2016).
Many expected some continued benefits and yet another game, but Sony made another wave when it was revealed not 1, not 2, not 3, but a whopping 10 games would be made free as part ofPlayStation’s Play at Home initiativebetween March 25 and May 14.
What’s more, unlike theselection of PS Plus gamesevery month, players fully own these games when they claim them. As such, there’s really no reason not to grab and download the games.

For those interested in the line-up, here’s a brief description of each game. These games can be claimed between March 25 and April 22 at 8 PM PT (both days).
The PlayStation Play at Home Headline: Horizon Zero Dawn
Last, but certainly not least, players will be able to claim a copy ofHorizon Zero Dawnfor keeps. It’ll be available from April 19 to May 14, beginning and ending at 8 PM PT both days. Those who haven’t played the game before will likely find this the best of the bunch, as Aloy’s journey has catapulted her among bigger PlayStation mascots like Kratos and Ratchet and Clank. In fact, the addition ofHorizonhere is interesting.
Ratchet and Clankwas the first game, and it’s receiving a sequel later this year.Horizonis up for grabs soon, and its sequel,Horizon Forbidden West, is expected to release later this year. It’s a great way to grab the game now in preparation of a sequel later, especially for any PlayStation newcomers.
