Predictions, Rumors, Leaks And More

PS Plus is Sony’s month-to-month membership program that grants entry to on-line gaming. You do not want it for streaming films or TV reveals on Netflix and different providers, or for free-to-play video games like Warzone or Fortnite. Any paid on-line video games, nonetheless, require a subscription.

There are three PS Plus tiers—Essential, Extra and Premium.

For the needs of this put up, we’ll solely be discussing the three free month-to-month titles coming to PS Plus Essential in May. The Extra and Premium titles are revealed halfway by means of the month they launch.

When Will Sony Reveal Next Month’s PS Plus Games?

Sony usually reveals the next month’s video games on the final Wednesday of the month, though this is not at all times the case. The present rule of thumb is that the brand new lineup (nearly) at all times releases on the primary Tuesday of the month and the video games are revealed the earlier Wednesday.

That means we’ll study subsequent month’s video games on Wednesday, April 29 and the video games themselves might be obtainable on May 5. You have till then to obtain this month’s free titles.

PS Plus May 2026 Leaks, Rumors And Predictions

Unlike last monthto date there have been no dependable leaks for May’s PS Plus lineup, and not one of the new releases popping out on May 5 seem like they’d be included, both. No rumors, leaks or protected bets then. I’ll replace this put up if that adjustments, however for now we’ll transfer on to predictions and the wishlist.

PS Plus May 2026 PS Plus Predictions & Wishlist Games

Some of those are extra seemingly candidates than others and a few of these are fairly clearly simply wishful considering. Most of those stay from previous prediction lists, since they have not been picked but!

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered — This is a contemporary traditional open-world journey sport about preventing large robotic dinosaurs in a post-apocalyptic future. It looks like the proper candidate for a PS Plus title, because the remaster got here out two years in the past.

Atomfall— The first-person survival-action sport set in an alternate-history Nineteen Sixties Britain after a nuclear catastrophe is a high choose for lots PS Plus hopefuls. It solely launched in early 2025, nonetheless, so it is fairly new for a PS Plus inclusion. Then once more, we have seen faster turnarounds (Dragon Age: The Veilguard as an example).

Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition Two causes for this. One, there’s an Anniversary Edition out and the second season of Amazon’s glorious fallout sequence is presently streaming. Some sort of fallout launch is sensible.

Dispatch— An absolutely wonderful interactive movie style superhero game that blends beautiful animation and unimaginable writing and appearing with a enjoyable superhero administration sim.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance The glorious Medieval RPG is a few years outdated now, and the sequel simply got here out. Why not launch the unique on PS Plus? Well…I suppose as a result of it was a PS4-era sport. But they might launch the sequel!

Blue Prince One of my favorite games of 2025this is able to make an amazing indie title to go along with some greater releases. What an absolute gem.

Resident Evil 4 Remake — The remake of the favored action-horror sport from 2005 was launched in 2023 to extensive acclaim. It’s sufficiently old to be a contender for a PS Plus launch and would undoubtedly be a crowd-pleaser.

Elden Ring FromSoftware’s mega-hit action-RPG could be an enormous win for Sony and PlayStation Plus players. Even Demon’s Souls Remake could be an enormous win, though I put each of those within the “wishful thinking” column. Still, Elden Ring would possibly make sense given the current launch of the standalone multiplayer spinoff Nightreign.

Star Wars Outlaws Ubisoft’s open world Star Wars sport wasn’t the hit they wanted, but it surely’s nonetheless a reasonably enjoyable approach to head to a galaxy far, distant and rub shoulders with scum and villainy. It would make a extremely good PS Plus launch.

Death Stranding Hideo Kojima’s weirdest sport was a large enough hit to fee a sequel and that sequel simply got here out in 2025. It is sensible to get the unique onto PS Plus sooner or later, if solely to drive extra folks to the newer (and costlier) sequel.

Street Fighter 6 The in style preventing sport franchise continues to be a crowd-pleaser, and releasing this 2023 sport on PS Plus could be enjoyable regardless of getting a preventing sport final month. That makes me uncertain we’ll see this one, however I’d play it if Sony put it on the market.

Cocoon —Indie developer Jeppe Carlsen (Limbo, Inside) launched this progressive and distinctive puzzle sport again in 2023 to stellar critiques. It’s been on the wishlist of assorted PS Plus guessers for a very long time now and would definitely be the precise form of small title that will make players pleased in August.

Squirrel with a Gun As the title signifies, this can be a little sport the place you play as a squirrel with a gun. It’s the sort of indie title that usually accompanies greater, AAA releases in a PS Plus lineup.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage — Releasing to free Assassin’s Creed sport is sensible with the black flag remake on the horizon. Get folks excited in regards to the re-release. It’s already been added to Extra and Premium, after all.

Trine 5 — I used to utterly love the trine video games. I keep in mind taking part in them with my children once they had been little. The beautiful paintings in these video games plus the sofa co-op simply made them such a delight. Then I forgot about them, and I really by no means did play the fifth sport. I’d like to, although. It could be tremendous nostalgic for the entire household. Here’s hoping!
