Sony has announced the line-up of free games coming to PlayStation Plus in May. This month's PS Plus deals include four titles, led by popular soccer sim EA Sports FC 24. Other free games for May include action platformer Ghostrunner 2, isometric action-adventure title Tunic and the online shooter Destiny 2: Lightfall. All four titles will be available to PS Plus members at the Essential, Extra and Deluxe/Premium tiers starting May 7.
The PS Plus lineup for May was revealed on the PlayStation Blog on Wednesday. All PS Plus members can add all four games to their library and access them at no additional cost as long as they have an active subscription. Ghostrunner 2, Tunic, and Destiny 2: Lightfall can be added to the game library until June 3, but EA Sports FC 24 will be available on the service for an extended period until June 17.
Note that April's free PS Plus games will be available until May 6, after which they will leave the service. April's list of PS Plus titles, announced at the end of March, includes first-person spellcaster Immortals of Aveum, spinoff strategy title Minecraft Legends, and roguelike action platformer Skul: The Hero Slayer. Here's a look at the four free PS Plus titles for May:
EA Sports FC 24
This month's PS Plus lineup will please FIFA fans as EA Sports FC 24 arrives on the service. EA's latest soccer simulator, which launched last year in September, represents a fresh start for the popular franchise. The series dropped its FIFA brand after failing to reach a licensing deal with soccer's eponymous governing body. But FC 24 remains a familiar offering, offering its arcade-style soccer gameplay in multiple online and single-player modes.
While there aren't any big changes in FC 24 ( review ), its Ultimate Team and Career modes are likely to keep players engaged until FC 25 arrives later this year. EA Sports FC 24 will be available to players on both PS4 and PS5.
Ghostrunner 2
Developed by One More Level, Ghostrunner 2 is a challenging action platformer featuring first-person parkour and sword combat. Sequel to Ghostrunner from 2020, the game puts players in the shoes of Jack, who can sprint, dash, run and slide through challenging platforming sections and engage enemies with his katana.
The game also offers additional tools such as a grappling hook and shurikens for ranged attacks. Ghostrunner 2 is coming to PS Plus for PS5 users.
tunic
An acclaimed indie action-adventure title that evokes the classic Zelda games, Tunic puts players in control of a fox on an adventure through the ruins of a fantasy world. Much of the story unfolds through gameplay and environments, as players find new paths and manual-style text of instructions scattered around the world.
Tunic encourages exploration and presents players with plenty of puzzles and challenges in a beautiful visual style reminiscent of classic Nintendo titles. The game will be available on PS4 and PS5.
Destiny 2: Lightfall
After including Destiny 2: The Witch Queen in March's PS Plus lineup, Sony is now adding another major Destiny 2 expansion, Lightfall, to the service. Destiny 2's seventh expansion, Lightfall, was released in February 2023, adding a new story, gameplay elements, a new Strand subclass, and a new free-roaming world to the base game. The expansion requires the base game to play and will be available on both PS4 and PS5.
This month, PS Plus members will also receive the PlayStation Plus Football Ultimate Team Starter Pack to help new FC 24 players on their FUT journey. Last month, Sony also revealed the list of games coming to the PS Plus Game Catalog, available to PS Plus Extra and Deluxe/Premium subscribers. April's lineup includes Dave the Diver, Animal Well, Tales of Kenzera: Zau and more.
