In terms of online gaming services,PS Plusis populated with a cacophony of different users from all over the world. Considering how extensivePS Plusis and how many people use the service, it can be taxing for Sony to maintain quality and consistency throughout every area of the world. Thus, certain technical exploits can slip through the cracks, allowing players access to free content.
While PlayStation has been including free games for PS Plus users to download every month, there have been instances where some users would be able to download an additional game for no extra charge. For instance, last year,PS Plus users could downloadBloodbornefor free, even though it wasn’t included in PS Plus’s free monthly games. Now, it seems that a similar occurrence is taking place this month, but it requires a few additional steps.

Over on ResetEra, a Brazilian user named nolifebr discovered that players can downloadResident Evil 7for free on PS4 by following a couple of steps. Firstly, the user would have to download the demo forResident Evil 7and then proceed to buy the game through the demo. At which point, the PS Store should open. The ResetEra user then says to select “Game Page,” then “Choose Version,” then finally, have the user select the second version.
At checkout, the game should be discounted by 100%. Many users have subsequently tried this and it has worked for players in the US, Romania, and the Netherlands to name a few select locations. It’s clear that this is an unintentional bug, which Sony will likely patch fairly soon. This could be due toResident Evil 7being free to download onPS5 for PS Plus users.
