All PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for May 2026
/1. EA Sports FC 26 (PS5, PS4)
Football fans are getting one of the year’s biggest sports titles with EA Sports FC 26. This latest entry continues EA’s post-FIFA evolution, bringing refined gameplay systems shaped by community feedback while offering both Authentic and Competitive gameplay modes.
Ultimate Team remains front and center, now with expanded tournaments, live events, and updated Rivals and Champs modes. With more than 20,000 players, 750+ clubs, 120+ stadiums, and 35+ leagues, FC 26 continues to push its reputation as one of the most comprehensive football simulators available.
As an added bonus, PlayStation Plus subscribers will also receive the exclusive FC 26 PlayStation Plus Icons Pack during the game’s availability
/2. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers (PS5)
For players craving challenging combat, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers brings a dark fantasy Soulslike experience set during the final years of China’s Ming Dynasty.
You play as Wuchang, a pirate warrior suffering from amnesia while navigating the war-torn land of Shu, where a horrifying plague known as Feathering transforms humans into monstrous creatures.
The game combines brutal melee combat, mystical abilities, firearms, and deep exploration across interconnected environments. Its blend of Chinese folklore, historical inspiration, and Soulsborne-style gameplay makes it one of the more intriguing action RPG additions to PlayStation Plus this year.
/3. Nine Sols (PS5, PS4)
Rounding out the lineup is Nine Sols, a critically praised 2D action-platformer that merges Sekiro-inspired parry combat with a richly illustrated sci-fi fantasy world.
Set in a realm once ruled by an ancient alien civilization, players control a vengeful hero on a mission to defeat the titular Nine Sols.
The game’s hand-drawn art direction, lore-heavy storytelling, and demanding combat mechanics have made it a standout among indie releases, and its arrival on PlayStation Plus gives subscribers a strong reason to check it out.
