Here’s the latest PS Plus Extra news for May 2026, based on recent reporting.
Core update
- Sony officially announced the May 2026 lineup for PS Plus Extra and Premium. The additions include Star Wars Outlaws (PS5), Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4), Bramble: The Mountain King (PS5/PS4), The Thaumaturge (PS5), Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn (PS5), and Broken Sword – Shadows of the Templar: Reforged (PS5/PS4). This aligns with the typical mid-month reveal and the subsequent download/availability window. [Source coverage noting the official reveal and the May 2026 catalog][3]
Pricing, tiers, and timing
- Premium subscribers receive additional titles beyond the Extra catalog, with timing and availability consistent with Sony’s monthly cadence (reveal mid-month, with catalog updates on a scheduled Tuesday). The May 2026 update follows that pattern, including a separate Premium slate and the overall catalog refresh. [coverage describing PS Plus cadence and May update structure][3]
- The usual caveat applies: some titles depart each month. For May 2026, departures include Control Ultimate Edition, Mortal Shell bundles, Soul Hackers 2, and several Dark Pictures entries, among others, around the May 19 window. If you haven’t finished those, you’ll want to wrap up before they leave.[3]
What’s leaving and entering (highlights)
- Entering PS Plus Extra: Star Wars Outlaws, Red Dead Redemption 2, Bramble: The Mountain King, The Thaumaturge, Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, Broken Sword – Shadows of the Templar: Reforged.[3]
- Departing PS Plus Extra on May 19: Control Ultimate Edition, Mortal Shell and its Enhanced Edition, Soul Hackers 2, The Dark Pictures Anthology entries Little Hope and Man of Medan, among others.[3]
- Premium additions for May 2026 include Time Crisis for PS5/PS4, with Premium timing aligning to Sony’s mid-month cadence.[3]
Timing tips for subscribers
- May 19 is the key date for the full availability of the new Extra titles and the departures window, with download windows typically in the morning UK time for Europe and mid-afternoon to early-evening in other regions depending on localization. US schedules commonly mirror GMT offsets as a reference.[3]
Illustrative example
- A typical month pattern: Sony reveals additions mid-month, then the catalog goes live a week or so later, with some games rotating out on a fixed departure date. This month’s gears fit that pattern, with several new titles arriving and a handful leaving on May 19. [generic cadence notes reflected in May 2026 coverage][3]
