The middle of May has arrived, which means it is time for a new batch of games to be added to the PlayStation Plus game catalogue.
All Games Coming to PlayStation Plus on May 19
Sony has officially unveiled the full lineup of library additions to PlayStation Plus that will be arriving as part of the May 19 update. This drop is a pretty huge one that includes some major hits from across genres.
2024’s Star Wars Outlaws is the showcase title and is a great addition for fans of Ubisoft open-world stealth adventure titles. The game has had a ton of updates and improvements in the years since its launch and is a much better, and more forgiving, experience than it was originally.
Additionally, the inclusion of Red Dead Redemption 2 is sure to turn some heads. As the video game world eagerly awaits the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 later this year, there are likely tons of players who are looking to scratch that Rockstar itch in the meantime.
Here is a full breakdown of the titles arriving on PlayStation Plus May 19:
