What’s the May 2018 PlayStation Plus lineup? And when will the May 2018 PS Plus update be announced? Another month tiptoes towards a swift conclusion, and we’re here with all of the latest PS+ rumours and speculation.
When will May 2018’s free PS Plus games be announced?
Assuming Sony follows its normal announcement schedule, you should find out about May 2018’s free PlayStation Plus games on Wednesday, 25th April. We’ll of course bring you all the news here at Push Square, and on our YouTube channel.
When will May 2018’s free PlayStation Plus games be available to download?
Sony always makes the latest PS Plus games available to download on the first Tuesday in every month, which just so happens to be 1st May on this occasion.
What are May 2018’s free PS Plus games?
To be fair, Sony’s been doing a very good job with PlayStation Plus giveaways on the PS4 this year, so we’re expecting more of the same from May 2018’s lineup. April saw the addition of Mad Max and Trackmania Turbo to the service’s library, and it’d be great if the platform holder could continue with the trend of recognisable retail releases. We suspect it’ll be digging into its archives to do that again next month. One thing we’d like to see improve is the calibre of PS3 and PS Vita titles; we know these systems are in the final stages of their lives, but we’d love to see them get a good send off before they leave the service next year. It’d also be great if the PlayStation VR bonus made a comeback.
Which free May 2018 PlayStation Plus games do you want?
Is there anything in particular you’d like to see added to PS Plus in May 2018? Would you like to see more big name retail releases, or do you miss the days of indie titles dominating the service? Chat away in the comments section below.

I think Tetris Ultimate or Dark Souls II would be good games this month. Dark Souls II would get people hyped for the I remaster, and Tetris Ultimate because a lot of people skipped it when it came out, and it’s pretty darn good.
I haven't even had time to play this months games. I'm too busy with Monster Hunter and now GOW. I did add them to my library like always tho.
Celeste
Dirt
Cities skylines
Best month ever.
I could see The Division be one of the games, especially now that the sequel has been announced. Also I feel it’s just a matter of time before The Order shows up.
I hope there will be a JRPG this month since PS4 has plenty of those that have yet to be offered thus far.
Hopefully there'll be a better line-up for PS3 and Vita this month as well.
P.T.
I’d like to see something like Night in the Woods, or Virginia. Or maybe how about Prey? Also would still like Odin Sphere Luifthriser.
I would like to see them put a God of War tittle in there!
God of War?
Shadow of the Colossus
Need for Speed Payback
Dying Light, The Order, Headmaster for PSVR
SteamWorld Heist or Steins;Gate 0 would be nice.
I'd bet on God of War 3 Remastered.
Great question and I really don't know. I'm too busy wigh God of War and still have Ni no Kuni 2 paused. Anyway, I would love a game that I don't have.
Undertale or what remains of Edith Finch would be cool. God of War 3 would be cool and Sega should offer Yakuza 5 in promotion of 6.
I recon with the God of War hype train in full swing, maybe we will get GOW 3 Remastered as a PS Plus game.
I really have no idea =) but, GoW 3 would be great.
I can't see God of War 3 Remastered being given away as chances are the sales of that will spike now courtesy of those that have just discovered the franchise and are wanting more after finishing the new one.
Lawbreakers would make good sense given its current lack of players and I'd be fine with that as I quite enjoyed the beta.
Noisy's list sounds good to me.
I'd like to play Oddworld New and Tasty but I can't seem to get around to buying it
I'd be keen for 'Guardians of the Galaxy: A Telltale Series' and either SteamWorld Heist or SteamWorld Dig 2
My predicitions to keep within the theme of fantasy RPG since god of war has come out, onky prediciting these as they are in price drops and last months theme was racing with the release of tacing games. My predicitions are:
Prototype biohazard bundle (ps4)
Rise of the Tomb Raider (ps4)
Chivalry medieval warfrare (ps4 indi)
Dont know avout ps3 or vita titles
well with God of War just being released then God of War 3 might be a good choice
I played an hour or so of trackmainia. The last game before that was just cause 3. I’d already played a few that were released. But my point being I don’t get time to play them anyway so not fussed. I guess if I had to choose id choose titanfall 2, to fill the lobby’s. as I miss the team death matches without titans that are never populated
Please don't give us GoW 3 remastered, I already own that game.
God of War and Yakuza 6
Yakuza 5 was already a PS Plus game on PS3 over a year ago, in the US anyway.
The Yakuza series has become one of my favorites in gaming!
The Order 1886 & Black Flag would do me alright.
@Th3solution ooh, Prey would be a good one.
Other than that, seeing a good walking simulator would be nice nice, along with maybe the Ezio Trilogy or that cel-shaded ninja stealth game. I said it last time too.
Tomb Raider,Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter and Dishonored
@RegularGameFan i wish man:) i've been dying to play either. Tho, i don't plan on paying 😆
@AFCC lol, that's right!
@PS_Nation OR I'LL NOT RENEW MY SUB.
Jk
Has nobody said Knack 2 yet?
No mans sky. Even though I own the disc, I think people would like everything they changed.
Any of the dark souls or Nioh.
I'd download the Order, but might never play it
God of War 2018, and Monster Hunter World seems fair.
Some VR stuff would be nice,
Baboon on vita,
Horizon zero dawn on ps4.
Thank you.
PS4
WipEout Omega Collection
Beyond Two Souls
Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection
VR
Job Simulator
Robinson
I want God of War and Far Cry 5.
Tempest 4k please seeing as the release was a complete flustercuck
I'll take anything I don't already have. If we are being realistic I think over the next few months Sony will start 'clearing out' the old/ exclusive stuff like GoW 3, The Order, Gravity Rush, Heavy Rain, WatchDogs. Stuff that surely no-one pays money for nowadays but would still be 'wowed' with if it came to Plus.
I'm hoping for Gang Beasts. That seems like a fun multiplayer game, but I don't want to play $20 for it.
As others have said, Dark Souls II would be cool.
Wolfenstein for PS4 again, I suppose. Valkyria Chronicles is no longer on my wishlist here unless Sega somehow decides to pull off a squeenix on the autumn port. XD If Sony does decide to stick to the open world roll, maybe something like Watch Dogs or even The Division indeed?
Given the popular rhetoric about giving away older titles to promote new ones, might as well name God of War Collection on Vita - two games, yes, but maybe they could throw in My Name Is Mayo to balance that out? XD Seriously, there are many collections seemingly negotiable on such terms.
This month frankly went past me - PS4 giveaways, while awesome, remain behind the barrier of base internet issues, QBert remains a classic I respect but can't seem to get hooked on and 99Vidas proved interesting but got shoved off the card for space as I was splurging out on some sale items. Probably my first IGC months I've spent barely an hour of my attention on. Teach me, masters, how do I demand Sony's heads on a plate now? :V
(Just kidding, as a fan of many things for many years, I could teach that to anyone myself. FML /)_-) )
I am predicting and would be happy with Little Nightmares and Hyper Light Drifter!
Also wouldn't say no to one of the Lego games.
Doomsday scenario is Victor Vran which I just bought a few days ago...
God of War III Remastered, Tomb Raider, The Order: 1886
Dragon age inquisition, and the elder scrolls online
@tameshiyaku Yakuza 5 was already free a few years ago
@Tasuki only remember getting Yakuza 4 and I've been plus member since almost the very beginning, but maybe there were some regional differences.
@Tasuki On PS3. There have been a few cases of the same game being offered if a PS4 version wasn't available or if it wasn't part of the PS+ lineup the previous time.
@ReanSchwarzer7 Yakuza 5 is PS3 only there never was a PS4 version. And it was already part of the PS+ line up
I would like to have LocoRoco or some old Call of duty.
Dont care for triple A just bring some smaller indie games. 😋
@AFCC I guess its canceld already. 😋
Seeing a lot of Dark Souls 2 guesses can't see it so soon after Bloodborne myself
@Flaming_Kaiser yap! Sony doesn't care
The Order
KillZone
GoW remaster
DarkSouls 2
Uncharted the collection (would be massive)
My backlog is so great I'll gladly trade in all my games this month for 3 movie rentals or a month of PS Vue. ☺ I don't buy movies anymore, just rent and stream them, but Sony's prices are insane. $4 rentals elsewhere are $10 on PSN. I never even consider PSN as an option.
@Ichiban The biggest reason I'll never upgrade my PS4.
