PlayStation Plus Extra & Premium May 2026: New Games, Release Date, and What’s Leaving

PS Plus Premium classic

• Time Crisis – The iconic 1997 arcade light‑gun shooter joins the Classics Catalog for Premium subscribers.

All of these titles become playable starting May 19, 2026.

Major Highlights Explained

Star Wars Outlaws

One of the biggest draws this month is Star Wars Outlaws, described as the first open‑world Star Wars game. Players explore multiple planets and attempt high‑stakes heists while navigating competing crime syndicates across the galaxy.

Red Dead Redemption 2

Rockstar’s massive open‑world western joins the catalog again, allowing subscribers to experience Arthur Morgan’s story during the final years of the Wild West. The version available through the service is the PS4 edition, playable on PS5 via backward compatibility rather than a native next‑gen upgrade.

Time Crisis (Premium only)

Premium members receive a nostalgia hit with Time Crisis, a classic arcade shooter originally released in 1997. It joins the Classics Catalog, which is separate from the Extra Game Catalog lineup.

Games Leaving PlayStation Plus on May 19, 2026

As new titles arrive, several games rotate out of the Extra and Premium catalogs. Listings in the PlayStation Store’s “Last Chance to Play” section indicate that up to eight titles are scheduled to leave on May 19.

Games expected to leave include:

• Control: Ultimate Edition
• Sand Land
• Soul Hackers 2
• MotoGP 25
• Mortal Shell
• Mortal Shell Enhanced Edition
• The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan
• The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope

Some reports count seven or eight departures depending on how different editions are grouped, but the titles above appear consistently across listings.

One Important PS Plus Detail

The Extra/Premium Game Catalog is separate from the PlayStation Plus Essential monthly games. For May 2026, the Essential tier’s monthly titles—such as EA Sports FC 26, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, and Nine Sols—are distributed independently from the catalog refresh.

Bottom Line

The May 2026 PlayStation Plus catalog update is led by two major releases: Ubisoft’s open‑world Star Wars Outlaws and Rockstar’s enduring Red Dead Redemption 2. Alongside several RPGs and indie titles—and the classic Time Crisis for Premium members—the update arrives May 19, the same day several notable games rotate out of the service.

For subscribers, that means a familiar trade‑off: a strong wave of new games, but a limited window to finish some existing favorites before they disappear from the catalog.
