PlayStation Plus is Sony’s equivalent of Xbox’s Game Pass service, and games come and go from the catalog over time. While not all games are available and some are down, it’s still an excellent way to play a selection of great games from the past decade. For example, Rockstar’s epic cowboy saga Red Dead Redemption 2 will soon be available on PlayStation Plus after a long absence, along with a handful of other intriguing titles.
The May lineup for the PlayStation Plus games catalog (releases May 21) includes: red deathas well as the spy vs spy royale Cheat Inc.cooperative crime robbery Crime Boss: Rocky Citycute classic cat themed RPGs Cat quest And Cat quest 2and survival simulator Stranded: Alien Dawn. That’s a host of well-received games to try out, which is a nice perk of PlayStation Plus.
Red Dead Redemption 2 has a long campaign, but one worth exploring. The story of Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang is a slow-motion train wreck, with their criminal camaraderie slowly cracking under the pressure of advancing civilization and the law that comes with it. In addition, Red Dead Online is a fun cowboy sandbox with a much lighter tone, and comes as part of the package Red Dead Redemption 2 (although it is no longer updated).
When the PlayStation Plus content library is refreshed, players will lose access to titles that have been removed from the service. So when you play Horizon zero dawn or any other title removed via PlayStation Plus, you have until May 21 to complete the promotion. There is a section marked ‘last chance to play’ under the Collections page on PlayStation 5, or the Games Catalog page on PlayStation 4.
