PlayStation Plus: May's Essential titles are quite varied

A new month means new games and PlayStation are delivering across both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 with these new additions to the Essentials tier.

One of the games that is being given this month is Destiny 2: Lightfall, an expansion for the game. In order to make use of it, you must own the base game. Thankfully that base game is free, you can get it here, so just be aware of that.

The below games will become available on May 7, meaning there is still time to pick up the April selection.


Ghostrunner 2

PlayStation 5

Survive a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk future in this intense and immersive first-person experience, which builds on the fast-paced action of the original. As before, it’s a one-hit kill scenario: fight through enemies without taking damage yourself. But in this sequel, there are numerous combat improvements, non-linear levels with complex motorbike sections and exciting new modes. Your new skills allow you to be more creative and take on even the most demanding encounters with greater accessibility… however, your foes behave uniquely depending on the skills used on them, providing a fresh challenge with each encounter.
