PS Plus May 2025 Premium games

And below are the Premium games:

Release date

The release date for the new PS Plus May 2025 Extra and Premium games is May 20th. There are some great titles getting added for both tiers, so they are exciting additions.

Once the games have joined Sony’s subscription service, we then have May 28th to look forward to. This is when Sony will pull the curtain aside on the PS Plus June 2025 Essential games that are set to be released on June 3rd as per the PlayStation Blog.

There are no leaks for next month as of writing, but it’s already confirmed that FBC Firebreak is joining PS Plus day-one next month. It’s a co-op multiplayer shooter from Remedy, and it is set in the universe of Control. It looks fantastic, and it’s good that Sony is providing more day-one releases following in the footsteps of Blue Prince and Lost Records Bloom and Rage.
