Alright, guys, so I saw this question popping up everywhere: “Is F1 23 free on PS5?” I figured, let’s find out for ourselves, right? So, I grabbed my PS5 controller and started my little experiment.
Powering Up and Diving In
First things first, I turned on my PS5. Gotta make sure everything is updated, you know how it is. Then, I went straight to the PlayStation Store. That’s where the magic happens, or doesn’t, depending on whether we find a free game or not.
The Search Begins
I typed in “F1 23” in the search bar. You have to type in each letter in order, my hands are a bit shaky and old, and it is easy to type in the wrong letters. My eyes are not good, it’s easy to miss. I had my heart in my throat, hoping to see that beautiful “Free” tag. And guess what I found that, that it is not free, and you have to purchase!
Checking the Options
Okay, no “Free” tag, sadly. I thought to scroll through the results. I saw a couple of different editions – Standard, Champions, you know, the usual stuff. Each one had a price tag. I double-checked, triple-checked, even squinted a bit (my eyesight isn’t what it used to be!), but nope, nothing was free.
Digging Deeper (Just in Case!)
Still, I didn’t want to give up. I clicked on each edition, looked at the descriptions, scrolled all the way down… just in case there was some hidden “free trial” or something. No luck. The PlayStation Store was pretty clear: you gotta pay to play F1 23.
The Verdict?
So, there you have it. From my little hands-on test, F1 23 is NOT free on PS5. You have to buy it. Bummer, I know, but that’s the way it is. I made sure I checked everywhere, so you guys don’t have to waste your time like some other people.
