PlayStation Plus: Free Games for May 2025

PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium subscribers can claim three free games from May 6 to June 2, 2025, available on PS4 and/or PS5. These titles remain accessible as long as the subscription is active. The lineup includes:

• Ark: Survival Ascended (PS5): A remastered survival game featuring dinosaur taming and multiplayer exploration, still in early access with ongoing updates.
• Balatro (PS4/PS5): A critically acclaimed roguelike deckbuilder with poker-inspired mechanics, nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024.
• Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun (PS4/PS5): A retro-style “boomer shooter” set in the Warhammer 40K universe, blending fast-paced combat with nostalgic FPS aesthetics.

Notes: Balatro stands out as a highlight due to its massive popularity and critical acclaim. PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can expect additional games to be announced mid-month, likely including day-one releases or catalog additions.

Epic Games Store: Free Games for May 2025

The Epic Games Store typically offers one or two free games weekly, claimable for a limited period but permanently owned once redeemed. For May 2025, the first confirmed title is:

• Super Space Club (Available May 1–8): An arcade-style bullet hell shooter with a lo-fi aesthetic, customizable characters, and ships, designed for a relaxing yet challenging experience.

Notes: Epic Games Store has not yet revealed the full May lineup, but additional titles will be announced weekly. The next games are expected to be available starting May 8, likely including lesser-known indie titles or older classics, based on Epic’s historical patterns.

Additional Free-to-Play Games and Trials

While not part of subscription-based giveaways, several free-to-play games are slated for release or significant updates in May 2025, enhancing the month’s offerings:

• SoulFrame (PC, May 10): A mythic fantasy RPG from the Warframe developers, featuring a free-to-play model with a preview experience via Preludes.
• Splitgate 2 (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, 2025): A free-to-play portal-based FPS sequel with refined gameplay and new modes, expected to launch around May.
• Dungeon Stalkers (PC, 2025): A free-to-play third-person dungeon crawler with PvEvP mechanics, potentially releasing in May.

Additionally, some platforms may offer free trials or betas, such as the closed beta for Terminull Brigade (a roguelike third-person shooter) that concluded in March but may see further tests in May.

How to Claim These Games

• Amazon Prime Gaming: Visit the Prime Gaming website, sign in with an Amazon Prime account, and claim games via provided codes or the Amazon Games App. Link accounts for Epic Games Store or Microsoft Store redemptions if required.
• PlayStation Plus: Access the PlayStation Store on PS4/PS5, navigate to the PS Plus section, and add the games to your library starting May 6.
• Epic Games Store: Log in to the Epic Games Store launcher or website, claim Super Space Club before May 8, and check weekly for new offerings.

Why This Month Stands Out

May 2025’s free game lineup is notable for its diversity and quality. Balatro on PS Plus is a standout, praised for its addictive gameplay and critical acclaim, while Prime Gaming’s Wolfenstein II and Star Wars titles appeal to fans of action and strategy. The inclusion of indie gems like Super Space Club and The Invisible Hand ensures variety, and free-to-play releases like SoulFrame add to the excitement for budget-conscious gamers. With Star Wars celebrations and the anticipation of the Nintendo Switch 2 launch in June, May is a strong month for free gaming.
