Sony has recently unveiled the exciting array of complimentary games awaiting PlayStation Plus subscribers in May 2024. Unlike the usual pattern of announcements on the last Wednesday of the preceding month, the May 2024 lineup took a different route.
The timing of the game reveals is primarily tied to the first Tuesday of the upcoming month, which, in this case, fell on May 2. Consequently, the official announcement was made on the following day, May 1, catching some subscribers off guard.
Despite the slight delay, the eagerly anticipated free PS Plus games for May 2024 have been officially confirmed. Commencing on Tuesday, May 7, members can claim titles like EA Sports FC 24, Ghostrunner 2, Tunic, and the surprise addition of Destiny 2: Lightfall. The unexpected appearance of Destiny 2: Lightfall adds an extra layer of excitement, deviating from the typical three-game lineup. The diverse selection is likely to please a wide range of PS Plus subscribers.
PlayStation Plus Free Games for May 2024
- EA Sports FC 24 (PS4/PS5)
- Ghostrunner 2 (PS5)
- Tunic (PS4/PS5)
- Destiny 2: Lightfall (PS4/PS5)
For those unfamiliar with the May 2024 selection, EA Sports FC 24 offers soccer gameplay akin to the renowned FIFA series. Ghostrunner 2 delivers a cyberpunk first-person experience that garnered positive reviews upon its release last year. Tunic presents a captivating action-adventure with inspiration drawn from Zelda and Soulslike elements. Lastly, Destiny 2: Lightfall serves as the latest expansion for Bungie's hybrid FPS/MMO, setting the stage for the upcoming release next month.
Notably, this marks the second time in 2024 that Sony has featured a Destiny 2 expansion in the PlayStation Plus lineup. In March 2024, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen was offered for free. This strategic move allows Destiny 2 enthusiasts with PlayStation Plus to seamlessly catch up before the June 4 launch of The Final Shape.
Remember, the free PS Plus games for May 2024 will be up for grabs starting on Tuesday, May 7. In the meantime, PS Plus members can still claim the April 2024 selection before the new month rolls in.
