PEOPLE have leapt from their couches to get a £17 game that is now scanning for free at the till.
PlayStation has offered up the highly-rated Death’s Door to be downloaded by loyal fans for no cost.
Originally released in 2021, the addictive game has since wracked up a whopping 85 on Metacritic.
It combines the difficult but fair combat challenges of Dark Souls with the dungeons and exploration of The Legend of Zelda.
Created by Acid Nerve, it is the follow-on success from boss rush game Titan Souls.
The freebie requires a PlayStation Plus Essential subscription in order to be downloaded, which is the cheapest tier of the service.
According to Steam, Death’s Door is usually sold for about £17 at different outlets.
The game has also wracked up a bunch of positive reviews since its release.
“I will forever be recommending this game to everyone I talk to,” a Steam user said.
“One of the top ten games of all time,” one added.

“It is impressive and aesthetically appealing in multiple ways,” a second claimed.
“I really like the gameplay and the story,” another said.
The free download comes as PlayStation announced it would also allow for two other highly-rated games to be scooped up.
All of these games are available from August 1 until September 4.
They can be claimed on the PlayStation store and played as long as users have a PS Plus subscription.
If you cancel your subscription – and resubscribe later – you will still be able to play them as long as you’ve claimed them this August.
It comes as movie buffs that own PlayStations were excited to get to an exclusive first look at a big upcoming film.
While gamers were left thrilled after Xbox Game Pass announced it would add free games to its platform every month.
