You do not have to own a PS4 or PS5. I've already claimed Ratchet and Clank from my PC, and I have neither of the two consoles in question.

Pretty sure Thumper can be played in non VR mode, so don’t sleep on that if you don’t have a headset.
Cool! I don't know if I'll ever own a PlayStation VR, but Astro Bot is amazing and Rez Infinite, Thumper and Moss are all supposed to be among the best VR games out there. I'm also a huge fan of Subnautica, which can maybe also be played in VR if you're incredibly brave. ABZU is also really nice, I've played it 4 or 5 times with my son. That's a really nice list of free games!

Awesome, I'm in the same "maybe I'll get a PS4/5 someday" boat.
Same here, I add free games to my account whenever I hear of them.
I could actually afford one at this point, but PS5s sell out so fast!

Are these free as in "for forever" as long as you claim them now?
Yes.
They don't seem to be free just yet.

Ratchet and Clank still is, but for the rest I'd check back this afternoon.
The latest Epic free game is Creature in the Well, which they call a hack & slash dungeon crawler mixed with pinball. Their trailer looks more like adding Breakout mechanics than pinball, since there's no gravity physics applied to your shots, just geometry. Still looks fun.

More free stuff on the Epic Store 'til 4/22:
Ken Follet's The Pillars of the Earth
The First Tree
Deponia: The Complete Journey
I dunno nothin' about the first two, but Deponia is absurd point n click goodness. Rufus is such an awful protagonist. It says it's "The Complete Journey" but I'm only seeing the first three games in the bundle. Still worth picking up anyway, since the fourth game tends to frequently go on sale for a couple of bucks.

Oh hey, I got The First Tree on Steam a bit ago after hearing good things about it, haven't had a chance to get on the PC to play it yet though.
I just checked Steam and they've announced a record of the soundtrack which looks gorgeous.

Rusty Lake Hotel is free on Steam, and mobile. It's a point and click adventure/puzzle game, with a macabre bent. I just played through the first night/dinner on my phone, and it was fun. Kinda escape room-ish, you have to clear out the full puzzle before they move you on to the next one.
Free until the 20th on Epic: The Lion’s Song

And Steam's got Company of Heroes 2 and one of its expansions for free as well. Only thing I know about this one is back in the 1UP days, Shawn Elliot would rave about the first game in the GFW Radio podcast. I've never played it or this sequel, but if it's your bag, grab it.

A free one from the Microsoft Store, Compatible with Xbox & PC: Tell Me Why Ch. 1-3
The "latest narrative adventure game from DONTNOD Entertainment, the studio behind the beloved franchise, Life is Strange."
EDIT: Cait & SiG have brought it to my attention that this applies over on Steam as well. Thanks.

Maybe go colonize Mars with Surviving Mars - Deluxe Edition [humble bundle via steam code]
Worth mentioning - if you have the game from a previous Humble Bundle, this code also includes the Deluxe DLC, and it stacks. Free cosmetic stuff!

Epic's games this week are Hell is Other Demons and Overcooked 2. Hell looks a lot like Downfall if you weren't just falling down. I played a bit of the first Overcooked on PS4, it was a fun spinning plates type of game.
Next week is Sonic Mania and Horizon Chase Turbo. Horizon looks like "what if Out Run, but bad", but you still have the excellent Sonic Mania there, if you haven't picked it up already.
