Red Dead Redemption 2 headlines PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra games for May

Sony has announced its PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium games for May, with Rockstar’s acclaimed cowboy epic Red Dead Redemption 2 leading the charge.

The latest batch of additions for PlayStation Plus Extra subscribers will be available to download from 21st May, and are as follows:

• Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4)
• Deceive Inc. (PS5)
• The Sims 4 City Living (PS4, requires The Sims 4)
• Crime Boss: Rockay City (PS5)
• The Settlers: New Allies (PS4)
• Stranded: Alien Dawn (PS4, PS5)
• Cat Quest 1 & 2 (PS4)
• The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame (PS4)
• Watch Dogs (PS4)

In case any of those are new to you, that’s Rockstar’s well-received open-world cowboy sequel (which follows the recent PlayStation release of its predecessor), a Sims 4 expansion, Deceive Inc’s multiplayer “social stealth and subterfuge”, cooperative first- person heist shooting in Crime Boss: Rockay City, and real-time strategy city-building via The Settlers: New Allies.

Extra subscribers also get sci-fi survival sim Stranded: Alien Dawn, family friendly action-adventure The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame, open-world hacking action in Watch Dogs 2, and Cat Quest 1 & 2 – two super-streamlined, wonderfully approachable mini -RPGs that are a bit of a treat.

But that’s not all! Subscribers to Sony’s PlayStation Plus Premium tier get all the above alongside a fresh batch of Classics catalog additions on 21st May:

• 2Xtreme (PS4, PS5)
• G-Police (PS4, PS5)
• Worms Pinball (PS4, PS5)

But while one hand givesth, the other takes away. As previously spotted – and now confirmed in Sony’s blog post – Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition, one of the publisher’s flagship first-party titles, will be removed from the PlayStation Plus catalog on May 21st.
