You Can Claim a Free PS4 Game Right Now, No PS Plus Required

Lazy Bear Games is offering players a chance to claim the original Graveyard Keeper for free through the PlayStation Store with no PlayStation Plus subscription required. The limited-time offer runs until April 13th, and once claimed, the game remains permanently in players’ libraries.

The giveaway serves as a promotional campaign to drive interest in the franchise ahead of the upcoming sequel’s launch on PS5. Graveyard Keeper, a medieval cemetery management simulation game, has established a solid reputation on PlayStation, earning a 4.39-star rating on the PS Store and attracting a dedicated player base.

Players manage their own graveyard while expanding into related ventures and discovering ways to optimize operations and cut costs. The game bills itself as “the most inaccurate medieval cemetery management sim of all time,” adopting a tongue-in-cheek approach to the genre.

This promotional strategy—offering established titles for free before a sequel launch—is common in the gaming industry. By expanding the player base with free access to the original, developers aim to build anticipation for upcoming releases and convert free players into purchasers of future installments in the franchise.
