Update 5/8: After Sony announced it would be no more, you have little more than 24 hours to claim the 19-game PlayStation Plus Collection on PS5. The titles must be claimed by May 9, 2023 or you’ll miss out forever. From Call of Duty and God of War to Fallout 4, Days Gone, The Last of Us Remastered, and The Last Guardian, members might as well claim the games for FREE while they still can.

As per usual, with the announcement of the May freebies, the clocking is ticking to score the April titles. This time around, PS Plus members will have until Monday, May 1, 2023 to land Sackboy and the rest of this month’s freebies before the May titles hit on Tuesday, May 2. you’ll need to ensure your PlayStation Plus membership is in tact to keep the previous month’s titles and download the next batch. 

While the May collection is clearly not exactly packed with big-name blockbuster titles and AAA experiences, sometimes these monthly freebies can be a great way to try out new titles you might not have known about or just would never spend your heard earned dollars on. 

First up, we have Descenders on PS4 – a “fast-paced extreme downhill biking game that’s easy to pick up, but difficult to master” – that typically fetches $40 on PSN as well as the regularly $40 Chivalry 2 that sets the stage for large-scale first person multiplayer medieval battles. But, arguably, the headliner next month will be GRID Legends “a high-stakes driving experience that combines thrilling and unpredictable motorsport, incredible race variety and an immersive narrative that puts you at the heart of the action.” Physical copies start at $17 on Amazon but it typically fetches $60 on PSN where it will go FREE starting next Tuesday.
