PlayStation has revealed the three games that'll be made available for free to PS Plus subscribers at the PS Plus Essential tier for the month of May 2026. While April's games included one title that can be connected to the action games sub-genre of Soulslikes, May's entries include two popular Soulslikes on top of another annual sports title in EA Sports FC 26.
The big headliner game for subscribers to kick off April 2026 was Lords of the Fallen, which is the aforementioned Soulslike game for this month. May, on the other hand, has two popular Soulslike titles: WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers, a game that's recently been making headlines as chances of a sequel seemingly died and were then revived, even if it was just in the smallest of ways.
And Nine Sols, the 2D action-platformer that developer RedCandleGames describes as having "Sekiro-inspired deflection focused combat." Between those two titles and Lords of the Fallen for April, action fans and certainly Soulslike fans are eating well with their PlayStation Plus subscriptions.
All three games will be available for all PS Plus subscribers to claim starting next week on May 5, 2026, which means that May 4, 2026, will be the last day to claim April's batch of PS Plus Essential titles, which include the aforementioned Lords of the Fallen, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, and Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream.
