PS Plus Extra and Premium May 2026 latest - Here's when games will be announced
Sony is just days away from unveiling the PlayStation Plus line-up for May 2026.
www.express.co.ukHere’s the latest I can share about PS Plus Extra for May 2026, based on recent reporting.
- Sony officially announced the May 2026 lineup for PS Plus Extra and Premium, with the new games going live on May 19, 2026 for the Extra catalog (and Premium items at the earlier date). This follows the standard monthly cadence Sony uses for PS Plus, featuring additions to the Extra catalog and occasional Premium titles.[2]
- Some outlets also noted the timing of the reveal and potential leaks around the May 2026 drop, with announcements typically occurring mid-May and departures from the catalog around the same period. The departure list for May 2026 reportedly included several titles such as Control Ultimate Edition, Mortal Shell bundles, and Soul Hackers 2, among others.[1][2]
Key takeaways if you’re subscribing:
- New PS Plus Extra games arrive around May 19, 2026. If you want to plan, assume the additions are available for download and play from that date in the UK/EU time zones and slightly earlier in some regions depending on Sony’s schedule.[2]
- Premium subscribers get additional titles beyond the Extra lineup, though the Premium selection has been shrinking in recent months; the May 2026 report mentions Time Crisis as a Premium addition.[2]
Illustrative example:
- If you’re tracking what to play first, you could prioritize newly added PS Plus Extra games released on May 19, 2026, then sample any Premium additions like Time Crisis if you own Premium, while noting which titles are leaving later in the month (e.g., Control Ultimate Edition, Soul Hackers 2) so you don’t miss them.[2]
