May’s PlayStation Plus games lineup is cause for excitement, as it is looking to be a really good month for the service. The official PlayStation Access channel has put out an update for the upcoming monthly games. The lineup is a big one, boasting both recent and critically acclaimed releases that should please players. The list includes FC 24, Ghostrunner 2, Tunic, and Destiny 2’s Lightfall expansion and will be available from May 7.
May’s PlayStation Plus Line Up
FC 24 is EA’s latest take on the football game genre. Since parting ways with FIFA in 2023, EA has rebranded its football series. Players have a lot to look forward to in FC 24, and many improvements have been made to this entry, most notably that women’s football is now fully available in the Ultimate Team mode. FC 24s inclusion might raise some eyebrows since the game only released late last year, but that seems to be a trend with this lineup of PlayStation Plus games.
Next up is Ghostrunner 2, the sequel to 2020’s Ghostrunner. It was released last year and was met with positive reviews. Players once again control Jack, the titular Ghostrunner, a cybernetic ninja of sorts that can move at lightning speeds and carve enemies to pieces in moments. The sequel expands on the world of the first game, with new mechanics such as a motorcycle.
The first game was somewhat of a sleeper hit when it was released, so fans should be happy to see this sequel available on PS Plus so soon.
The next game in the lineup is Tunic, a cute-looking indie action adventure game about a fox on adventure in a fantasy world trying to save a trapped fox spirit. Tunic was released in 2022 to very favorable reviews.
Finally, Lightfall, the most recent expansion for Destiny 2, will be included as part of the PS Plus lineup for May. Lightfall features a new story and location that sets up the beginning of the final chapters in Destiny 2’s long campaign. It received mixed reviews at launch.
Why the Latest Line-Up Matters

May’s selection, consisting mostly of popular games from 12 to 18 months, is exciting because it seems to put players first by offering standout titles.
The selection makes for a pretty stacked month for PlayStation Plus, and one that is probably the best we’ve seen in a while. There is a lot to be excited for and something for everyone, from indie games to high-budget live services.
