PS5 users who love free games have another new one to claim after the recent release of Dating Stories 2. It goes without saying that Dating Stories 2 is a pretty NSFW PlayStation 5 game, meaning it will likely only appeal to a niche audience – but free is free.
Dating Stories 2 is the sequel to 2025’s Dating Stories, which was notable for its very easy PS5 Platinum trophy. Free like its predecessor, the new game from developer Somequest touts itself as a game that “blends the addictive satisfaction of solving jigsaw puzzles with the spicy thrill of seducing the most alluring women you can imagine.” Players must choose their words wisely in order to progress the relationship, while solving puzzles along the way.
Dating Stories 2 is Free on PS5
PS5 and PS4 players can officially head to the PlayStation Store and add Dating Stories 2 to their account, completely free of charge after its release on July 31, 2026. The dating simulator features one-player gameplay with Remote Play support, and those with a PlayStation Plus Premium subscription can also use PS5 cloud streaming with this game. While the base game is free, it also has multiple DLC packs available to buy on the store to add even more romances, with a Complete Romance Pack also available for $14.99. However, it’s totally possible to play and enjoy Dating Stories 2 without spending anything.
Reviews for Dating Stories 2 sit at an average of 3.41 out of 5 at the time of writing. Looking at the review split, the game is one players feel strongly about either way, with 54% giving it a 5-star review and 32% giving it a 1-star review. In short, those who enjoy games in this genre will definitely find plenty to enjoy about Dating Stories 2, but it probably won’t be the one to convert those who don’t.
Because Dating Stories 2 is a free-to-play PlayStation 5 game, it’s not like there is a massive rush to claim it. There’s no reason to suggest the game will adopt a paid model in the future, but for those interested in these types of games, it’s definitely worth grabbing now while it’s fresh in the mind. After all, once players have hit the “Add to Library” button, it’s there to keep forever.
Those who want to spend tons of money beefing up their gaming libraries can certainly do so if they want. However, it’s far from a necessity – gamers on every platform have tons of free games to claim all the time, and the PlayStation 5 is no exception. It’s definitely possible to enjoy gaming on a budget, no matter the favored genre.
