New PS Plus Extra and Premium Games for May 2026 Are Available Now

PlayStation Plus comes in three levels. The basic level, PS Plus Essential, lets PS4 and PS5 owners play games online and offers a few free games each month. These free games change regularly. The next level, PS Plus Extra, includes a large library of PS4 and PS5 games that you can play as long as they’re available – new games are added and removed, similar to how Netflix works. The highest tier, PS Plus Premium, gives you access to a collection of older games from PlayStation consoles like the PS1, PS2, PSP, and PS3.
