PS Plus Free Games for May 2022 Are Better Than April, but June May Top Them Both

gamerant.com:

A new month means a new selection of PS Plus games (as well as more on other services). Many were hoping that the May games would redeem April’s selection, and while that may not exactly be the case, thePS Plus free games for May 2022 are a little better at least. Through June 7, fans will be able to claimFIFA 22 (PS5/PS4),Tribes of Midgard (PS5/PS4), and Curse of the Dead Gods (PS4).

But, the big change is on the horizon. PS Plus subscribers will be able to upgrade in June 2022 and get either PS Plus Extra or PS Plus Premium. At the top tier, not only will players be able to check out some top PS4/PS5 games for free, but they will get access to 700+ games across the PS1, PS2, PSP, and PS3 eras. Toss in the PlayStation game demos too, and PS Plus Premium packs a lot—even if the cost is debatable.

Former PS Plus Free Game Getting PS5 Upgrade

But before looking at next month and why fans can expect some really good PS Plus free games in June 2022, it’s worth looking at the past couple of months. May 2022 is better than April 2022, but it still falls into some common trappings. FIFA 22, for example, is a sports simulator. These don’t typically do well on subscription services, simply because they are yearly releases and diehard fans will usually pick them up at release, not wait months after for them. Meanwhile, Tribes of Midgard and Curse of the Dead Gods are good games, but their appeal is limited. If someone doesn’t like their unique graphics, dungeon-crawling mechanics, or roguelike features, then these two games may not be for them.

At the very least, there is more general appeal there than with the PS Plus free games for April 2022. These were Hood: Outlaws and Legends, Slay the Spire, and SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle
