If you're a PlayStation Plus subscriber, there's a good chance you keep your eyes on the games you unlock every month simply by being a part of the service. Well, the company has confirmed the list of games it's planning to release for May, and things are looking pretty sweet.
Sony confirms Sand Land, Battlefield V, and more for PlayStation Plus in May
In a blog post, Sony goes over all of the games arriving on PlayStation Plus on May 20th. There's a whole range of cool games to check out, but there are some that stand out a little more than others in my eyes.
For instance, the batch contains Sand Land, a game based on a manga by the Dragon Ball legend, Akira Toriyama. It came out in 2023 and captures Toriyama's unique art style perfectly in this RPG where tanks take the forefront.
I also spotted Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted – Full Time Edition in the list, which is a must-play for anyone who's a fan of animatronic-infested pizzerias. The game plays like a love letter to the series with lots of references and callbacks to older games. Sony mentions that the Full Time Edition is a combined version of Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted and the Curse of Dreadbear DLC for both PS5 and PS VR2, while the PS4 gets the base game. You can play them either with or without VR.
My final personal pick is definitely Battlefield V. It's showing its age a little, releasing back in 2018; however, if you're in the mood for an FPS set in World War II, you can't go wrong with it, especially if you're getting it as part of your PlayStation Plus package at no additional cost.
Here's a full list of the games and which tier you need to subscribe to unlock them. Remember, they'll release on May 20th, so there's still a little time until they're ready:
