PlayStation Plus Free Games May 2020

Another month comes and goes. For many of us, it’s another month of staying at home in quarantine, another month of social distancing from our friends, yet luckily, another month of more free games. Here is the next line-up of PlayStation Plus Free Games May 2020 available for download on Tuesday, May 5.

First, there’s Cities: Skylines, a city-building simulation game. Players take on the role of urban planning by deciding road placement and controlling public transportation, handle taxes, decide the city’s budget, while keeping the employment levels up and pollution levels down.

Next, there’s Farming Simulator 19, another simulation game. Instead of creating a busy city, players escape to the quiet landscape of farming territory where they breed livestock, grow crops, and sell their assets.

While it’s a bit strange Sony decided to release two simulators in the same month, trophy hunters will be happy to know that both games include Platinum trophies to unlock.

Cities: Skylines is not particularly difficult so long as you refrain from downloading the DLC, but will certainly require over a hundred hours of gameplay for the Platinum.

Farming Simulator 19 is slightly easier and requires much less time for the Platinum, at roughly around 50 hours of gameplay.

If simulation games are not your thing, these aren’t the only free games available at the moment. As part of Sony’s Play At Home Initiative during the Coronavirus pandemic, both the Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Journey have been available for free for all players as of April 15, and lasting until May 5. Players do not need to be PlayStation Plus members in order to download these freebies.

PlayStation Plus Free Games January 2020

Happy New Year!

Due to the holidays, Sony was a bit late announcing their next line-up of free games for PlayStation Plus members. However, the it was worth the wait – especially for trophy hunters! Here is the next line-up of PlayStation Plus free games January 2020 which will be available for download on January 7.

First, there’s Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, which is actually three games in one. This includes Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune Remastered, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Remastered, and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Remastered. All three were originally released on the PS3, then revamped for the PS4 in 2015. The games are third-person action adventures, where you’ll be jumping and climbing your way to treasure, while battling pirates, war criminals, and even a few monsters.

The other game is Goat Simulator, a wacky adventure set in an open world, where players control a goat performing as much damage as possible by running, jumping, and striking objects.

All three Uncharted games, as well as Goat Simulator, have Platinum trophies to unlock. This means four Platinums this month!

Goat Simulator is the easiest and quickest Platinum. Most of the trophies are quite easy, with the exception of a few frustrating ones. Though you can expect to have the Platinum in around 5 hours.

All three Uncharted games are of average difficulty. At least one playthrough on Crushing mode, which is the hardest difficulty, is required. Plus there are a number of collectibles to find, and kill-related trophies to earn. Expect around 15 hours for each game’s Platinum, depending on skills.
