PlayStation Store quietly adds a free PS5 Horror Game, No PS+ needed!

Sony’s PlayStation Store is listing SCHIZOPHRENIA as a free PS5 game from THECOURGET SAS, with the U.S. storefront showing a price of Free and a release date of May 11, 2026.

The listing says it is a PS5 title with offline play, 1 player, DualSense vibration and trigger effect support, and PS5 game streaming supported only with Premium subscription.

The store page describes the release as:

“The standard version of SCHIZOPHRENIA” and says, “You can download and play this content on the main PS5 console associated with your account.”

A separate PlayStation Store page in other regions shows the same title as free, with the same publisher and genre listing, which points to a live storefront rollout rather than a placeholder entry.

The game is tagged as Horror, with English voice support and screen languages listed as English and French on the U.K. storefront.

Sony’s store also shows an ESRB Teen rating on the U.S. page and a PEGI 18 label on the U.K. page, with descriptors that include extreme violence.

The same page says SCHIZOPHRENIA has a 3.66 out of 5 average from 293 verified owner ratings.

The title is not new to PC. Steam lists SCHIZOPHRENIA from TheCourget with a release date of April 14, 2025, and the developer’s own site describes it as the studio’s first game.

That lines up with reports describing the PlayStation version as a short psychological horror release now appearing on PS5 with no separate PlayStation Plus requirement.

The game’s subject matter is likely to draw attention because the title uses a clinical mental health term, yet Sony’s storefront presents it as a straightforward horror release.

The materials visible on the listing focus on platform support, rating, and ownership details, not on any broader campaign or launch event.
