May 20 is looking to be a very busy day for PlayStation Plus, as many games will be both entering and leaving the subscription service catalog. On that day, a number of new games will be added to the game catalog available to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium-tier subscribers, while other titles will leave and become inaccessible to those who don't opt to purchase them separately.
To keep PlayStation Plus subscribers tuned in to the service's offerings, Sony staggers out updates to the game catalog throughout each month. For players at the PS Plus Essential tier, the May 2025 free PS Plus games were made available on May 6, including Balatro, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, and Ark: Survival Ascended. Players at the more expensive Extra and Premium tiers have to wait until the middle of the month to see what they're getting in terms of game catalog updates, free trials, and premium game streaming.
Since relaunching the subscription service in June 2022, Sony has added a host of games per month to PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium.
PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers will be getting a mix of recent and high-end titles with a lot of play potential....
