The best price in the store this month is zero: four free PS5 demos, Final Fantasy Resonance, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, Gladio Mori and Rideshare “Stimulator”, can be downloaded without a PlayStation Plus membership.1 I looked hard for the catch, and the source names no membership requirement for any of them.

Deal Price Usual Store Ends
Final Fantasy Resonance demo Free - PlayStation Store (listed in Screen Rant’s report) -
Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse demo Free - PlayStation Store (listed in Screen Rant’s report) -
Gladio Mori demo Free - PlayStation Store (listed in Screen Rant’s report) -
Rideshare “Stimulator” demo Free - PlayStation Store (listed in Screen Rant’s report) -

Final Fantasy Resonance: The demo covers the entire first chapter, and progress carries over to the full game if you buy it.1 Verdict: verified.

Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse: You play Rose Belmont, daughter of Trevor Belmont, and data transfers to the full game.1 Verdict: verified.

Gladio Mori: This is a physics-based combat game, and the demo includes four curated movesets to try.1 Verdict: verified.

Rideshare “Stimulator”: You run a rideshare business and do some of the driving yourself.1 Verdict: verified.

No end date appears for any of the four, so I can’t promise how long they stay up.

Our read: A free demo has no price to inspect, which makes this the easiest deal I have checked in a while. Two of the four carry save data into the full game, so time spent in them isn’t wasted if you later buy. Prices and availability were as listed when this ran and may change.
