Previous titles in the EA promotion have included Dragon Age: Origins, Dead Space, Peggle and Plants vs.

No matter how you look at it, you’re in control of a very sick hospital. The Grim Reaper stalks the corridors, the ill have some very odd ailments, and the staff want to play doctors and nurses together. Go to the ‘Themes’ tab under the PS4 settings menu, choose ‘Select theme’, ‘Custom’ and your USB storage device, then ‘Select image’. Truly, the first time you see someone enter the re-inflation clinic is a beautiful thing. Design, maintain, and manage a high-tech hospital facility, making the most of limited resources and turning cures into cash. Developed by the now-defunct Dungeon Keeper developer Bullfrog, it mixes management and business aspects with the need to cure queues of patients struggling from bizarre diseases.

Theme Hospital remains one of the best simulation games of the '90s. Once downloaded, the game is yours to keep forever. Got an Origin account? Simply head to Theme Hospital's download page and nab it for free. It's the latest title in EA's regular 'On the House' promotion, which gifts freebies to Origin members every month or so. ORIGINAL STORY 21/1/15 1.35pm: Medically dubious simulation classic Theme Hospital is now available to download for free via Origin. Patients are reminded not to die in the corridors.

UPDATE 21/1/15 1.35pm: In celebration of today's Origin freebie (and because H1Z1 is still down) Ian 'Greetings' Higton will be live-streaming Theme Hospital tonight from 4pm GMT.
