Sony's Play at Home scheme has seen the company provide PlayStation owners with a selection of games completely free of charge. During lockdown conditions over the last year or so, it's an initiative that's given people a handful of PS4 and PSVR titles to enjoy, no strings attached — you don't even need a PS Plus membership to claim them. However, the games are only free temporarily; very soon, most of them will go back to their regular prices.
So, what games are leaving Play at Home, and when exactly will they stop being free? Well, in short, 22nd April 2021 is your deadline. Following this date, nine of the games in the service will revert back to their usual PS Store price tags.
Here are the games affected:
- ABZÛ
- Astro Bot Rescue Mission
- Enter the Gungeon
- Moss
- Paper Beast
- Rez Infinite
- Subnautica
- Thumper
- The Witness
These games will no longer be free on the Play at Home initiative after the following dates and times:
Thursday 22nd April 2021 — 8PM PDT / 11PM EDT
Friday 23rd April 2021 — 4AM BST / 5AM CEST
Additionally, the Funimation/Wakanim offer, which gives users an extended trial period of the anime streaming services, is also coming to an end, on 22nd April, 11:59PM PDT.
If you want to claim any of these games or services, you have between now and the aforementioned times to do so.
Fortunately, this doesn't mean the Play at Home scheme is finished. Just this week, Horizon Zero Dawn came to the initiative, and is available now for free (also for a limited time). Furthermore, Sony has confirmed that more will be coming to Play at Home in the near future. We'll of course keep you up to date with what's happening there.

I claimed all of them. I don't even have a PSVR, but in the future, who knows?
I hope I've claimed them all properly. The Witness was showing as purchased on the PS store when I looked because I had claimed it from PS Plus a while ago. It wasn't showing as purchased on the PS app though so I was able to claim it for free this time through that. Just hope it's all gone through OK 🤞
I think I have those but I still need to get HZD so I'll consider this to be a reminder.
I tried Enter the Gungeon but I couldn’t get past the first room. The game reset everytime I went through the door. I looked at YouTube walkthroughs and their first room was different from mine. Weird. Time to play HZD instead.
Currently playing through subnautica not got very far yet and been at it quite a while
It´s still april 22nd, but they´re already gone
@Turismo4GT Rez and Thumper can be played traditionally.
@lolwhatno That makes sense, thanks!
