May is shaping up to be a strong month for PlayStation Plus members, with three very different titles joining the Monthly Games lineup. Whether you want to dominate the pitch, survive a dark fantasy world, or master precise 2D combat, there’s something worth downloading this month.
All three games will be available to PlayStation Plus members from Tuesday, May 5, giving players access across PlayStation consoles at no extra cost with an active subscription.
Headline Title: EA Sports FC 26
[EA Sports FC 26](https://amzn.to/4cVd0kO) leads the lineup on both PS5 and PS4.
This year’s edition focuses heavily on player feedback, introducing an overhauled gameplay experience and two distinct presets: Authentic Gameplay and Competitive Gameplay. That means players can tailor matches to feel closer to real-world football or choose a faster, more skill-driven style for online competition.
Fans of Ultimate Team will also find fresh content, including Tournaments, Live Events, and updated Rivals and Champs modes. With more than 20,000 players, 750 clubs and national teams, 120 stadiums, and 35 leagues, the game continues to push its claim as one of football gaming’s most complete packages.
PlayStation Plus members will also receive an exclusive Icons Pack, available as a bonus add-on during the game’s Monthly Games availability window.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Delivers Dark Souls-like Action
For players craving challenge and atmosphere, [Wuchang: Fallen Feathers](https://amzn.to/3QWDKdv) arrives exclusively for PS5.
Set during the final years of China’s Ming Dynasty, the game follows pirate warrior Wuchang, who awakens with no memory of her past in a land consumed by chaos. A mysterious plague known as Feathering is transforming people into monstrous creatures, and Wuchang herself is infected.
Expect punishing combat, exploration across an interconnected world, hidden weapons, ancient firearms, and skill progression tied to defeated enemies. The game blends historical inspiration with horror and fantasy, making it one of the most intriguing action RPGs to join the service in recent memory.
Nine Sols Brings Precision Combat to 2D
Rounding out the lineup is [Nine Sols](https://amzn.to/4w5YQX6) for PS5 and PS4.
This hand-drawn action-platformer mixes stylish presentation with combat inspired by Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, emphasising timing, deflection, and skill. Players take control of a vengeful hero on a mission to destroy the Nine Sols, ancient rulers of a fallen realm once controlled by an alien civilisation.
For players who enjoy Metroidvania exploration with demanding combat, this could be the sleeper hit of the month.
A Strong Month for Every Type of Player
May’s lineup offers an impressive variety:
• Sports fans get one of the biggest football releases of the year.
• RPG players get a dark fantasy Soulslike adventure.
• Action-platformer fans get a stylish precision combat challenge.
That kind of range makes this one of the more balanced PlayStation Plus Monthly Games months in recent memory.
Available Starting May 5
All three titles can be claimed beginning Tuesday, May 5. Once added to your library, they remain playable as long as your PlayStation Plus membership stays active.
If you’ve been waiting for a month to jump back into your backlog, May looks like a good time to do it.
