PlayStation Plus Monthly games for May 2025 announced

may.png

If you haven't gotten around to trying Balatro in the wake of the game's massive success last year, this might be the time to, as PlayStation will be making it part of the free games of the month for PlayStation Plus subscribers. The lineup for the month of May headlines Ark: Survival Ascended, along with Balatro and Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. These three games will be available on the service starting May 6th. You have until May 5th to grab last month's lineup of Robocop: Rogue City, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Digimon Cyber Sleuth: Hacker's Memory.

MS wins again

How? MS doesnt even have the "free" monthly games anymore. They ended Games With Gold a couple years ago so you're comparing Sony's offering to, nothing, then saying MS wins.

Proper comparison would be the monthly catalogue additions, which have not yet been revealed for PlayStation & the only really big title for GamePass in May is Doom: The Dark Ages. Which I personally have zero interest in.

Gotta be kidding me! I JUST bought balatro a few days ago for full price!
That's okay, Balatro is worth buying three times over. Better that your access to it isn't tied to a subscription fee, too.

All the more reason users of Sony, Nintendo, XBox should push to have a Steam-like refund system! Especially all those trashy digital waste titles (ie. the majority of what RedDeerGames publish and all those other scummy assetflip "publishers")

Microsoft is winning so hard. That's why they are raising prices, including games, when they are already facing the possibility of becoming the next Sega.

Yep.

Its like they want to fail. I don't get MS strategy at all.

But lets get real, MS is eons away of becoming early 2000's SEGA. SEGA was nearly bankrupt and MS is a Trillion Dollars+ global juggernaut. They can loose a lot of money on Xbox division without breaking a sweat.

    Some brain surgeries are still commonly practiced such as deep brain stimulation for neuro disorders

    I love it when I buy things and it drops in price $10 following month :hateit:
  • Veho @ Veho:
    You paid for the privilege of having it a month early.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Even tho product is already a year old
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I'm so very tempted to buy that new Anbernic SP. Bastards.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Buy two glue your old screen to the bottom, makeshift Ds
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    i want that anbernic sp too
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I have their previous SP clone and it's great but the new one has analog sticks, a better screen and twice the RAM. Which I'm not sure makes any difference but twice is twice.
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    the screen looks a lot more punchy
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's exactly three times the resolution of the GBA so there's no resampling in full screen. Integer scaling FTW.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    And the colors look great in review videos.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    So very tempted.
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    the sticks are moot for me cuz i just want the gba exp.
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    gimme some shoulder buttons i'm used to already
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    i like my miyoo mini but mainly just play gb and gbc on it cuz the shoulders are ill-placed
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I expected the shoulder buttons on mine to feel weird but the L1/R1 feel just like the GBA SP and the L2/R2 aren't in the way.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Did you have a GBA SP?
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    yeah but it's the 1st one with the dim screen
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    i fucking love the form factor tho, just perfect.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    The shoulder buttons are pretty similar. If you can't get used to the Myoo Mini placement, maybe these will work out better.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    And yes, clamshell rules :D
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    yes
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
