If you were one of the people to hold out from the Playstation version of Splatoon, good news comes to you in the form of free to play. As of right now, Square Enix's Foamstars has gone free to play for everyone for the PS4 and PS5. They are now in their 8th season, and Square Enix shows no signs of abandoning the game, and taking it offline.
The new season, Diamond Jam, will run until November, and promises new gameplay enhancements. You can now get Diamond Chips to use in a certain shop, Diamond Trade, to get new cosmetics. They've also added FIVE new maps to the Smash The Star Mode, some of them coming from other modes. Private Party mode also gets four extra maps.
Even more so, Wave boss battles have been added for Squad Missions. I have no idea what any of this means, but maybe it's enticing enough for me to go back. I haven't played since launch, and here's video of that. All that to say, 8 seasons since February looks promising, but I hope those who purchased the game, or got it during that Playstation Plus promo gets something.
