PS5 players can now try an intriguing upcoming action game for free, which has already garnered a positive response from players in early access on Steam. Gladio Mori is a physics-driven multiplayer gladiator combat game that’s expected to release on the PS5 later in 2026. Its demo is out now on the PS Store.
Sample PS5 combat game Gladio Mori for free, but PS Plus is required
Although Gladio Mori’s demo isn’t locked behind the expensive PS Plus Premium tier, you do need at least a basic subscription to play, as it’s a multiplayer game.
Developer Plebeian Studio promises realism, featuring dismemberment and even organ-specific damage.
“Gladio Mori is a realistic, physics-driven combat simulator where victory isn’t about button mashing. It’s about momentum, timing and anatomy,” an official overview reads. “In this arena, there are no ‘health bars.’ A single well-placed blade to the heart or a severed artery ends the fight instantly.”
The demo introduces players to Gladio Mori and focuses on fundamentals. The full game will feature a proper Move Editor.
Gladio Mori supports up to four players online. While it’s a niche game, it has “very positive” reviews on Steam based on just under 1,000 early access votes.
