PlayStation Plus: May 2026’s free games you won’t want to miss from Sony

The beginning of each month is eagerly anticipated by gamers, and for good reason: PlayStation console owners regularly receive a wonderful gift. Sony offers several free games to PlayStation Plus subscribers. It’s a great deal that has allowed players to rediscover titles like RoboCop: Rogue City, Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition, Stray, Diablo IV, Lies of P, Call of Duty Black Ops IV, or NBA 2K24, all offered at some point by Sony to PS+ members.

Last April, Sony delighted both casual and hardcore gamers with Lords of the Fallen, a dark fantasy action-RPG that hurls players into a crusade against the gods. Then it was time for a throwback: we enjoyed the remastered Tomb Raider I - III, stepping into Lara Croft's adventures. Finally, we cranked up the adrenaline with the co-op game Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream.

This month, we dive into a sports staple: EA Sports FC 2026 (PS4, PS5), a football title beloved by fans of the genre. A shift in scenery with Wuchang : Fallen Feathers (PS5), an action RPG soulslike that drops us into a feudal China besieged by monsters from ancient legends. Staying with Chinese mythology, but venturing into a futuristic setting this time, with Nine sols (PS4, PS5), a fairly technical platformer-action game. Get those controllers ready!
