PlayStation Plus Free Games for May 2024 Revealed
May's games on PS Plus might be the best so far in 2024.
Sony has announced the full lineup of "free" games that will be coming to PlayStation Plus for May 2024. Given how this month fell, May's title on PS Plus are going to be arriving a bit later than subscribers would typically expect. Fortunately, this longer wait is going to end up being worth it as May's lineup of freebies across PS5 and PS4 happen to offer the best savings that we've seen so far on the service this year.
Going live on May 7, this month's rotation on PlayStation Plus will include EA Sports FC 24, Ghostrunner 2, Tunic, and Destiny 2: Lightfall. This represents one of the most diverse lineups that we've seen to this point in 2024, in addition to being one of the most cost-saving. Normally, all of these games at their typical prices would set back PlayStation users nearly $200. As a result, it's hard to be too disappointed with the titles that Sony is handing out.
There are two unique aspects of May 2024's PS Plus lineup that might fly a bit under the radar. For starters, EA Sports FC 24 is actually going to be available on PS Plus longer than all of the other games. The latest soccer sim from EA will be downloadable until June 17, whereas all other titles will vanish on June 3. Additionally, Destiny 2: Lightfall represents the second expansion for the game that has hit PS Plus this year. Previously, The Witch Queen also came to PS Plus a couple of months back. Clearly, Sony is trying to get PlayStation fans invested in D2 prior to the game's The Final Shape expansion releasing in June.
