PlayStation Plus Reveals Games Leaving the Service in April 2026
The next round of games departing from PS Plus in April 2026 have been unveiled, but it's a very slim group.
comicbook.comHere’s the latest on PlayStation Plus for May 2026 (as of mid-May 2026).
What’s new in May 2026
- The May 2026 PlayStation Plus Game Catalog additions are led by Star Wars Outlaws (PS5) and Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4) among others, with a mix across Extra and Premium tiers. Availability began around May 19 for Extra and Premium subscribers [source coverage indicates May 19 start date and lineup including Star Wars Outlaws and RDR2].[1][3]
- The lineup also includes Bramble: The Mountain King, The Thaumaturge, Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, Broken Sword – Shadows of the Templar: Reforged, Enotria: The Last Song, and Time Crisis (the last being Premium-only).[3][1]
- Separate listings from Sony’s announcements highlight that May’s lineup for Extra and Premium combines a mix of AAA and indie titles, with a notable emphasis on Star Wars Outlaws and Red Dead Redemption 2.[2][3]
What was officially announced as part of May
- The official PlayStation Blog and partner outlets confirmed the May 2026 game catalog for Extra and Premium, including Star Wars Outlaws, Red Dead Redemption 2, and several other titles, with a May 19 rollout date for the new catalog entries.[2][3]
- In addition to the catalog entries, Sony previously announced the monthly PS Plus games for May 2026 (the Essential tier), featuring EA Sports FC 26, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, and Nine Sols, which are separate from the Game Catalog additions for Extra/Premium.[5][2]
Leaked or speculative reports
- Prior to official confirmation, some outlets circulated leaks mentioning other titles (e.g., Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, The Crew Motorfest, Football Manager 26 Console) as potential May 2026 inclusions; these leaks circulated in April 2026 but the official lineup emphasized Star Wars Outlaws and Red Dead Redemption 2 among the top picks.[4][3][5]
- It’s common for May updates to include a mix of previously rotated titles and fresh additions across tiers, with the Premium tier sometimes hosting classics like Time Crisis as noted in multiple previews.[3][5]
How to access
- If you’re a PlayStation Plus Extra or Premium member, you can download or play the May 2026 Game Catalog titles starting May 19 (subject to regional availability).[3]
- The May 2026 Essential (monthly) games are separate from the Game Catalog and are listed on Sony’s PlayStation Blog with availability in early May 2026.[2]
Illustrative example
- For context, imagine a monthly catalog where buyers at Extra/Premium get open-world adventures (Star Wars Outlaws, RDR2) and a few niche titles (The Thaumaturge, Enotria: The Last Song), while Premium also includes classic arcade experiences like Time Crisis.[1][3]
If you’d like, I can pull the exact May 2026 lineup as listed by Sony and cross-check regional differences (US vs. EU) and provide a clean, itemized list with download windows and tier notes. I can also monitor for any last-minute changes and confirm when titles rotate off.
