A selection of bonus PlayStation (PS) Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium games will be available to users over the coming weeks.
These are part of Sony's Days of Play promotion.
PS Plus is the popular membership scheme for PlayStation consoles that lets you enjoy online multiplayer.
Plus has two tiers of benefits: Extra and Premium.
Both allow users access to a rolling library of free titles to enjoy.
In Extra, these include a catalogue of PS5 and PS4 games.
But with Premium, this is extended to include games from PS1, PS2, PS3 and even PSP.
The Days of Play promotion means PS Plus users will get these bonus games on top of a usual monthly offering of games included in their subscription.
This means there will still be a normal drop of PS Plus games for June 2025 introduced later next month.
The Bonus games dropping for both subscription tiers are listed below, along with their release dates.

PS Plus Premium: Bonus Games for May / June 2025

Sadly, this comes as six games will be disappearing from the PS Plus library in June, in line with the subscription's monthly game rotation system.
The games being removed are listed below:
After Us
Avicii Invector
Inscryption
Kayak VR: Mirage
Monster Hunter Rise
Rogue Legacy 2
These six games are classified as " Last Chance to Play" titles, and will disappear on June 17, 2025.
They are PS Plus library games – and not free downloads.
This means they are only available to play when on PS Plus.
Once they're out of the PS Plus library, users are locked out from playing them, even if they've been downloaded.
These games can only be owned permanently if they're bought at retail cost.
Fans on Reddit were quick to react to the news of the removals.
One wrote: "Highly recommend people dig into Inscryption if they haven't yet.
"Very addictive and great fun. Don't read up about it before playing."
Another said: "Inscryption is 10/10. Not really into roguelikes or card games, but damn this game is sick.
"Vibes, loop, puzzles, endgame?! Whole game changes and evolves - don't miss out."

Harry Maguire says ‘a lot of players' are leaving Man Utd in transfer firesale with Bruno Fernandes ‘considering' exit
HARRY MAGUIRE admits he expects a lot of players to leave Manchester United this summer. The Red Devils are set for yet another rebuild after finishing 15th in the Premier League. 3 3 Ruben Amorim is expected to stay on as manager but he will likely oversee multiple departures when the transfer window reopens. Maguire revealed there will be several comings and goings at Old Trafford, emphasising the importance of getting recruitment right. He said to press at a commercial event in Mumbai: "We will make a lot of changes in the summer at the club. "There will be a lot of players who leave and hopefully a lot of players will come in. "And that's down to the club to make sure they get that right and it's down to us players to make sure that we are the ones that are involved." Maguire deputised for captain Bruno Fernandes in the post-season friendly defeat to ASEAN All-Stars in Kuala Lumpur. And it is a job he could take on full-time with Fernandes subject to a transfer bid from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal. His agent reportedly held "productive talks" over the move, which could see United receive £100million for their talisman. United are also seeking to cash in on Alejandro Garnacho, who is understood to have been informed he can leave along with Andre Onana and Luke Shaw. While buyers are being found for outcasts like Jadon Sancho, Antony and Marcus Rashford, who all departed Old Trafford on loan in January.

Foreign-branded mobile phone sales in China edge up in April
BEIJING, May 30 (Reuters) - Sales of foreign-branded mobile phones in China, including Apple Inc's (AAPL.O), opens new tab iPhones, edged up in April, according to data released by a government-affiliated research company on Friday. Calculations based on the data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) showed that April shipments of foreign-branded phones in China rose to 3.52 million units from 3.50 million a year earlier. As the largest foreign mobile phone maker in China's smartphone-dominated market, Apple's performance plays a significant role in the overall data on foreign-branded phone sales in the country. The uptick in April comes after a sluggish first quarter in which Apple's phone sales in China dropped 9%. Apple has faced increased competition from domestic rivals and has resorted to price cuts to stay competitive. Chinese e-commerce platforms are offering discounts of up to 2,530 yuan ($351) on Apple's latest iPhone 16 models earlier this month.

Adani's Mumbai airport spars with IndiGo, Air India over payment terms
NEW DELHI, May 30 (Reuters) - The airport in India's financial capital of Mumbai, run by the Adani Group, has triggered a lobbying effort by top carriers IndiGo and Air India after it changed payment rules, citing financial needs and a risk of airline defaults, documents show. The airport is one of India's busiest at a time when dozens are being added in one of the world's fastest-growing aviation markets. It is the biggest of seven managed by a group led by billionaire Gautam Adani. Confidential letters seen by Reuters show the intense pushback to the change, which seeks a compulsory cash deposit in a bank as security against charges such as landing and parking fees, instead of a long-standing practice of bank guarantees. "None of these airlines normally pay on time ... we want to align our cash flow with the airlines' cash flow," said Arun Bansal, the chief executive of Adani Airport Holdings, which has a stake of 74% in the airport. "They have taken advantage of our niceness," he added, referring to resistance to the new payment system from IndiGo and Air India since the change eight months ago in October. Airlines often delay payments beyond a due date at month-end but the airport has to pay authorities earlier, creating working capital challenges that can be resolved by using the security deposit when needed, Bansal said. IndiGo ( opens new tab and Air India, which together have a share of 91% of the market in India, did not respond to queries from Reuters. A source with direct knowledge of the matter said the new policy would require the two airlines to make deposits of about 2 billion rupees ($23 million), taken together. For Air India, owned by the Tata Group conglomerate, such payments could strain its finances after racking up losses of $521 million last year, in addition to monthly costs of $50 million after Pakistan closed its airspace to Indian airlines. The Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL), which serviced 53 million passengers last year, also faces financial challenges, after posting losses of $71.11 million on revenues of $461 million last year, disclosures show. In a December 31 letter to an airlines body, the airport justified the change by pointing out its "deteriorating financial position" and "significant debt obligations". "The deposits will help MIAL's financial stability and credit rating," it added. The change also aimed to protect the airport from risks such as an airline going bankrupt, as carriers Jet Airways, Go First and Kingfisher Airlines have done in the last few years, Bansal said. The Mumbai airport has the right to cancel the slots of airlines that do not follow the new policy, but does not intend to do so in the interest of passengers, he added. The International Air Transport Association, representing both Air India and IndiGo, wrote to India's civil aviation ministry in December, calling the change a bid to use airline deposits to fund the airport's need for working capital. India's civil aviation ministry did not respond to Reuters' queries. The government has a stake of 26% in the Mumbai airport. In a letter on April 2, the Federation of Indian Airlines told the airport it disagreed with the contention that airline payments were not timely. Air India has lobbied the Indian government, saying the industry was already facing "immense financial pressure" in an April 15 letter. "It is highly likely that other airports across the country could adopt similar measures, leading to widespread financial strain," Air India said in the letter, seen by Reuters.
