If you paid for digital PS1 games on the PS3, and those games are in the PS5 classics catalouge, you can download them for free, even without PS+.

I don't think many people know about this, so I made a quick 3 minute guide on how to do it. Some of the games require going into the extra options on the store page for them to show up as free downloads.

I downloaded for free (well actually I already paid for them in 2008!):

Jumping Flash
Tekken 2
Ridge Racer Type 4
Oddworld
Rally Cross
G-Police
Everybodies Golf 2
Grandia
It also works with PSP games too!

I made a video guide here:


Because for many of the games you have to go into the extra options on each items store page to get your free download to appear.
 
I've noticed that some PSX games I bought on the ps3 ended up free on ps5. Though I think a couple games didn't transfer over. Still pretty cool.
 
Too bad most of the PS1 games I bought on PS3 are still not available on PS5. :/

When you say didn't transfer over, do you mean you bought them but can't download them?

If you do, that what the guide is for because you need to go into the extra options on each games store page to get your entitled version to appear.

This is something I knew, and it’s actually a sick life hack. The PS3 versions of these games are cheaper, so you buy them there and then you have saved money on the PS5 version.

As a Jumping Flash! fan, that game matches the aesthetics of PS5 immaculately, so this bit is a totally amazing way to save money and play a great game that’s not cheap on the original console.
