10 Free PlayStation Games You Can Play at Home Today

PlayStation started the ‘Play at Home’ initiative in April 2020. Initially, it offered players Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Journey under the program. Amidst the chaos caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, Playstation wanted to give gamers some respite. As a result, the program was rejuvenated last month.
