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.
And this month, what does PS Plus have in store for us? To fill all those long May holidays, Sony serves up three interesting games, each with its own identity. 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!
And to stay on top of all the PC and console releases rolling out in the next few days, check out our guide to the May releases. Have fun!
