PlayStation Officially Drops New Free Game You Don't Need PS Plus For, Easy Platinum Included

You can find pretty much anything you want on the PlayStation 5 marketplace, whether that’s physical releases (for the time being) or the wide-reaching PSN. On the latter, you can find even more esoteric games, including freebies that are part of PlayStation Plus or completely free.

Many of these games tend to have “easy Platinum” trophies, which give fans an extra incentive to pick them up, even if they don’t stick around for long. Thanks to a new PSN release, fans are flocking to one of those easy Platinum trophies once again. The best part is that you don’t need PlayStation Plus at all.

Dominoes Together brings the classic game of dominoes to PlayStation5 – free to play, online and made for playing with others. Take a seat at the table with up to four players, match the ends, block your opponents and be the first to play all your tiles. • Free to play – jump in and start playing right away. • Online multiplayer for up to 4 players – challenge players from around the world. • No waiting for a full table – bots fill any empty seats. • Climb the leaderboard – win matches and prove you rule the table. • Make it yours – customize your character, tiles and table. • Easy to learn, hard to master – simple rules with plenty of room for strategy.

Again, this is a free download, so you can try it out even if you don’t have PlayStation Plus. But for many people, though, this will be a Platinum download. It’s part of the PSN reality (and a lot of other marketplaces).

According to the dedicated few trophy hunters in Dominoes Together, it can take less than an hour to get the Platinum with a few settings tweaks. Others report they can get it in roughly two hours at an average pace.

Some fans on YouTube even have some advanced tips for getting the Platinum faster: “You can significantly reduce the time it takes to earn the Platinum trophy by adjusting a few simple settings. Personally, I played Classic with Points mode, set the target to 20 points and played against a bot. With these settings, a full game takes no more than 2–3 minutes (and keep hitting Start over to save time). Start by playing a few games with a double-six set to familiarize yourself with the rules. Then switch to a double-seven set to unlock the corresponding trophy after 30 minutes of play. Repeat the process with a double-eight set.”

If people learn the actual game of dominoes to get a Platinum trophy on PSN, so be it. There’s a reason these timeless classics keep coming out on modern platforms, and even Nintendo released Clubhouse Games.
