The PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for May 2026 are now live, with a bit of football, a bit of Soulslike action and some 2D platformer action.
What are the PS Plus May 2026 Monthly Games?
There’s three games for May, with two of them still being available for PS4. Here’s the links to the PlayStation Store.
- EA Sports FC 26 – PS5, PS4
- Wuchang: Fallen Feathers – PS5
- Nine Sols – PS5, PS4
it’s a World Cup year, so it makes sense that EA would want to drop their premier sporting game into PS Plus right around the end of the regular football season, hoping to get people that tune in for cup competition finals and the international game sucked into the video game for a few months before FC 27 inevitably arrives.
In our EA Sports FC 26 review, Aran said, “EA Sports FC 26 is a better game than FC 25 and can give you a good game of football, especially when Authentic mode in single player comes together properly. However, for that to happen you need to play on World Class difficulty, as anything below that exposes poor defending by the AI. There has been evolution here, but FC 26 is still only a step towards getting the balance right, and not the final stop.”
If kicking balls around isn’t your thing, then the other two games ought to satisfying some of that need for action. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers draws upon Chinese mythology for its take on the Soulslike, and has proven to be rather popular. Alas, this one wasn’t for us, and Ade said that it “is a Soulslike by the numbers, one hampered by a cornucopia of PS5 performance issues that plague the game like a disease” in our review.
Finally, there’s Nine Sols, a hand-drawn 2D action platformer that features deflection-based combat inspired by another Soulslike, Sekiro. You’ll set off into an Asian fantasy, exploring a land that was once home to an ancient alien race. We missed this one for review, and it looks like we missed out, as it has a rather healthy 84 on Metacritic.
Can you still get the April 2026 PS Plus Monthly Games?
Nope, time is now up for the April 2026 games, so there’s no more Lords of the Fallen, classic Tomb Raider or Sword Art Online for you. Make sure you grab the May games before they disappear on 2nd June!
