PlayStation Plus Free Games May 2026

April showers are just about over. Yet, if you’re not interested in going outside just yet, there are some extra games to play. And so, here is the PlayStation Plus free games May 2026 line-up which will be available for download on Tuesday, May 5.

First, for the PS5, there’s Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, the action RPG released last year, developed by Leenzee and published by 505 Games. Set in an alternate history during the Ming dynasty, players take on the role of female pirate Bai Wuchang, exploring a war-ravaged land while facing supernatural horrors.

Next, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s EA Sports FC 26, the football (soccer) game developed by both EA Vancouver and EA Romania, coming just in time for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup. The game incorporates several innovations compared to its predecessor, including dribbling mechanics, improved AI, and allows players to select challenges to complete in Manager Career.

Finally, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Nine Sols, an action platformer developed by Red Candle Games. Set in a fantasy-futuristic world which combines Taoism with cyberpunk, players control Yi who is on a quest for revenge by defeating the Nine Sols.

Among the PlayStation Plus free games May 2026 titles, all three of them have platinum trophies to unlock. Unfortunately, none of them are particularly easy.

Arguably, obtaining the platinum for EA Sports FC 26 could be considered the easiest among the three. However, this entirely depends on your experience with playing other games in the series. Also, there are a few online trophies to worry about. Expect roughly around 40 hours of gameplay for the platinum, depending on  your EA Sports FC skills.

Next, unlocking the platinum for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers can be a little challenging, particularly since there are so many missable trophies. Be prepared to follow a guide while you play, for this one. Also, four full playthroughs are required. Expect around 50 hours of gameplay.

Finally, Nine Sols is quite a challenging game. You could get the platinum trophy in around 30 hours, however this is heavily skill dependent. Although the playtime required for the platinum is the shortest among the three games, Nine Sols is also arguably the most difficult.

PlayStation Plus Free Games May 2024

Hopefully the weather outside is finally beginning to warm up, depending on where you live. And if not, why not stay indoors and play some games? Sony has just unveiled their PlayStation Plus free games May 2024 line-up which will be available for download on Tuesday, May 7.

First, there’s Ghostrunner 2, the action-platformer developed by One More Level, and a sequel to the 2020 Ghostrunner. In this first-person game, players traverse environments by jumping, wall-running, and swinging from a grappling hook, while battling enemies with either a sword or special abilities. Play as Jack as he ventures beyond the Dharma Tower in order to battle against a cyber ninja AI cult.

Next, there’s EA Sports FC 24, the football/soccer simulation game developed jointly by EA Vancouver and EA Romania. One of the major upgrades to this version in the series is the PlayStyles, a feature which better represents the real player’s unique styles.

Lastly, there’s Tunic, the 2022 action-adventure game developed by Isometricorp Games. Players control a fox armed with a sword and shield, and venture into a post-apocalyptic fantasy world freely, without any directions or instructions.

Among the PlayStation Plus free games May 2024 line-up, both EA Sports FC 24 and Tunic are available for both the PS4 and PS5, while Ghostrunner 2 is only for the PS5. Also, all three games have a platinum trophy to unlock.

By far, Tunic has the easiest platinum to obtain. Provided that you set the “No-Fail” mode on, and follow a guide, the platinum can be unlocked in just around 10 hours.

For those of you who obtained the platinum on the first Ghostrunner, you should have an idea of what to expect for Ghostrunner 2. However, the platinum for this game is arguably more challenging and time consuming than its predecessor, as there are several more miscellaneous trophies to work on. Expect around 25-30 hours of gameplay for this one, depending on your skills.

Lastly, while the single-player trophies for EA Sports FC 24 are not particularly difficult, especially if you already have experience with this series, the ease of getting the online trophies entirely depends if you are boosting or not. Expect well over 100 hours for this platinum.

Also, as an added bonus, Sony is including the Destiny 2: Lightfall expansion this month, giving Destiny 2 players even more reason to avoid going outside.
