PlayStation Plus is turning up the intensity this May with a trio of high-stakes titles spanning survival, strategy, and retro-inspired chaos.
New games on PlayStation Plus in May 2025
From 6 May to 2 June 2025, members can download and play Ark: Survival Ascended, Balatro, and Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun at no additional cost.
Ark: Survival Ascended | PS5
A complete remake of the hit survival sandbox, Ark: Survival Ascended brings new life to the prehistoric world with Unreal Engine 5 visuals and upgraded systems. Gather resources, craft tools, tame dinosaurs, and build your base as you struggle to survive on a vast, hostile island full of danger and discovery.
Balatro | PS5, PS4
Blending roguelike deck-building with poker mechanics, Balatro challenges players to build powerful hands and push for massive combos. With vibrant visuals, dynamic synergies, and increasingly complex runs, each game is a new puzzle to solve with risk, reward, and relentless reshuffling.
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun | PS5, PS4
A retro-style boomer shooter set in the Warhammer 40K universe, Boltgun throws players into fast-paced, gory combat as a battle-hardened Space Marine. Purge heretics in pixelated glory using iconic weapons and fluid movement in this high-adrenaline homage to ’90s FPS classics.
Last Chance to Download March’s Games
PlayStation Plus members have until 5 May 2025 (tonight) to add April’s lineup — RoboCop: Rogue City, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory — to their game library before they rotate out.
