Last month, Sony offered Ratchet & Clank for free to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 users as part of its Play At Home initiative. The games that are included in Play At Home initiative don't require a PS Plus subscription to play. All you need to do is redeem the game from the PS Store and it will be available to download and play. This initiative will last till June so players can expect to get more free games in the coming months.
