Sony Interactive Entertainment has revealed May 2024’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalogue and Classics titles.
Free PS Plus Games for May 2024 Are Available Now

The wait may have been longer than some expected, but the free PlayStation Plus games for May 2024 are finally available for subscribers to claim. As always, the monthly free PlayStation Plus games are available to all subscribers, regardless of tier.
Monthly free games are the major selling point for the Essential tier of PlayStation Plus. PS Plus Essential gives subscribers access to some exclusive PlayStation Store discounts, online multiplayer, and, of course, monthly free games. PS Plus Extra and Premium are the tiers above Essential, so they get all of that in addition to a rotating selection of games.
Unlike the PS Plus Extra and Premium games, the monthly free games from the Essential tier can be kept forever as long as one stays subscribed to PS Plus. This applies to the free PS Plus games for May 2024 that subscribers can download right now, which are headlined by soccer game EA Sports FC 24, cyberpunk action-parkour game Ghostrunner 2, Zelda-style Soulslike Tunic, and the Lightfall expansion for Bungie's MMO/first-person shooter hybrid game Destiny 2. All of these games are playable for PS5 owners, whereas PS4 players can claim most of them but will have to miss out on Ghostrunner 2.
Typically, the free PS Plus games are available until the first Monday of the following month, but the May 2024 lineup has one exception to that rule. Ghostrunner 2, Tunic, and the Destiny 2: Lightfall expansion are all going to be available until Monday, June 3, as expected, but subscribers will actually have until June 17 to claim EA Sports FC 24 for their libraries. No reason for this discrepancy has been revealed, but it means that EA Sports FC 24 will still be up for grabs even when the rest of the May 2024 free games have been replaced by the June 2024 lineup.
As for when the free PS Plus games for June 2024 will be announced, PS Plus subscribers can count on the announcement happening on Wednesday, May 29. What the free games for June 2024 will be is anyone's guess. Sony has given away a wide range of games through PS Plus, so nearly everything is on the table.
There should be some more exciting PlayStation Plus updates between now and when the June 2024 free games are revealed. The PS Plus Extra and Premium games for June 2024 will likely be revealed within the next couple of weeks, so subscribers to the higher tiers have that to look forward to as well.
Sony's PlayStation 5 is part of the ninth console generation and debuted with a launch lineup that included Demon's Souls and Astro's Playroom. The console comes with a Blu-ray disc, although a digital-only edition is also available for a cheaper price.
