PlayStation Store offers Dead or Alive 6 Core Fighters free on PS5

Sony’s PlayStation Store has made the "Core Fighters" version of the fighting game Dead or Alive 6 available for free download on PS5 and PS5 Pro. The free edition includes the combat engine and arenas but limits the roster to a subset of characters, requiring players to purchase the full version for complete access.

In the same promotion, five additional titles are offered at no cost and can be played without a PlayStation Plus subscription. The games are: - The Legend of Fireball – a clicker‑style adventure; - Bag Fight – a roguelite deck‑building runner; - Spellfarers – a cosy MMO set in the world of Wenngrove; - NTE: Neverness to Everness – an open‑world JRPG; - Buffet Boss – a restaurant‑management simulator. All can be installed and played immediately on PS5, providing budget‑friendly options for a weekend of gaming.
