\"PS Sony has announced the three free games hitting PlayStation Plus in May 2026. EA Sports FC 26, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, and Nine Sols will all be claimable by every PS Plus tier\u2014Essential, Extra, and Premium\u2014starting May 5. It’s a genuinely varied lineup. Football fans get the latest entry in EA’s post-FIFA reboot, Soulslike lovers get one of the better action RPGs from 2025, and indie platformer fans get one of the most polished Metroidvanias in recent memory.<\/p>\n

Three games, three very different experiences<\/p>\n

EA Sports FC 26 lands on both PS5 and PS4, packing 20,000-plus players across 750-plus clubs and 35-plus leagues. PS Plus members also get a bonus Icons Pack for Football Ultimate Team, redeemable while the game is part of the monthly lineup.Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a PS5 exclusive set during the final years of China’s Ming Dynasty. You play as a female pirate warrior who wakes up with no memories\u2014and then discovers she’s slowly turning into a monster. The combat is fluid and the world interconnected, in classic souls-game fashion.Nine Sols rounds out the month with Sekiro-style deflection combat wrapped in a hand-drawn, lore-dense 2D world. It also received a substantial update last year that expanded the experience considerably.One deadline worth keeping in mind: April’s games\u2014Lords of the Fallen, Tomb Raider I\u2013III Remastered, and Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream\u2014leave the library on May 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sony has announced the three free games hitting PlayStation Plus in May 2026.
