PS Plus Extra and Premium May 2025 games reveal time
A new batch of games is on the way for PS Plus subscribers on the Extra and Premium tier, and it's going to have to be huge if PlayStation wants to uphold its grand reputation.
PS Plus is about to bite back with another collection of games for subscribers to get stuck into after the impressive month that preceded it.
Okay, it's time to lock in. A new batch of games are coming your way very soon, and so far, PlayStation has made a very good impression for PS Plus subscribers over the last few months. The year started off a little shaky with some pretty weak appearances, but now, after the PS Plus Extra and Premium April drop delivered Hogwarts Legacy to players and the PS Plus Essential May 2025 reveal offered players the brilliant Balatro and Warhammer 40K: Boltgun, we're back on a winner for the service.
It's good news that PS Plus has performed so well recently, starting as an online service subscription that would easily rub players the wrong way if it didn't come with some accoutrements, as it now stands in direct competition with Xbox Game Pass, which recently dropped a Dragon Ball Z banger along with the incoming arrival of day one drop Doom: The Dark Ages in its Xbox Game Pass May drop. PlayStation has a lot to prove, and arguably, fewer third-party studios in its arsenal to make it happen.
The latest drop could be a corker with a number of throwbacks and a Destiny 2 expansion appearing in our PS Plus Extra and Premium May predictions, but we won't know for sure what's going to touch down until the PS Plus Extra and Premium May 2025 games reveal time comes around. And luckily for us, it isn't far off. Here's everything you need to know about the PS Plus Extra and Premium May 2025 games reveal time.
PS Plus Extra and Premium May 2025 games
The PS Plus Extra and Premium May 2025 games reveal time will be 8.30 PDT / 11.30 EDT / 4.30 BST on Wednesday, May 14. We know this because the Extra and Premium games of any given month are always announced on the second Wednesday of every month, much like the PS Plus Extra and Premium games for April 2025, before dropping on the service the following Tuesday.
There are likely to be some serious surprises in store when the PS Plus Extra and Premium May 2025 reveal time rolls around (or at least there will be if PlayStation is locked in on its strong streak). Clear your backlog, because it's about to get longer by brute force alone.

I'm a tech writer and this is the best PS5 deal I've seen this year
If you've been holding off on upgrading to the PS5 Pro or you're just looking to bolster your games library with some bargains, you're in luck. PlayStation has just rolled out some tempting discounts in its annual Days of Play sale. The two-week event runs from 28 May until 11 June at PlayStation Direct, the official online storefront for everything from consoles and accessories to games and more. PlayStation Direct is also where you'll find Flex, a leasing option which gets you a console for as little as £10.99 per month. The headline act in this year's Days of Play sale is a hefty £90 saving on the PlayStation 5 console itself, but we're also seeing price drops of up to 60 per cent across some of the PS5's best games, including remastered classics like The Last of Us and the unmissable platformer Astro Bot. The PSVR2 gets some love in this year's sale too, with a surprise discount of £45 bringing the price of the virtual reality headset (plus the hardware's best game, Horizon: Call of the Mountain) down to £354.99. The new PS5 Pro doesn't miss out on the action either, getting a rare £45 discount for the duration of the two-week sale. You can check out all of the deals over at PlayStation Direct, but in the meantime I've rounded up some of the best offers below: In my PS5 review, I called the PlayStation 'this generation's must-have home console' thanks to its stellar library of exclusive games. If that didn't convince you, maybe this £90 saving will – the time-limited discount applies to both the digital and disc editions of the console. I've highlighted the disc edition here, which is essential if you've got a collection of physical PS4 and PS5 games (or Blu-ray movies) hanging around at home. You'll find the same £90 discount applied to the cheaper, all-digital version of the PlayStation 5. As the name suggests, this model doesn't come with a disc drive but plays games downloaded from PlayStation Direct. Perfect if you've done away with dusty old physical media. Not sure which edition to get? Handily the digital-edition PS5 can be upgraded with a disc drive later if you ever change your mind. That £90 discount on the PS5 also applies to the official DualSense console bundle, which packs an extra wireless controller in the box and is essential if you plan on multiplayer gaming at home. The DualSense controller is an impressive piece of technology in its own right, and uses dynamic vibrations and actuators in the shoulder buttons to simulate everything from weapon recoil to throttle response in racing games. The upgraded version of the original PS5 launched in 2024 and gave Sony's console a massive spec bump, including double the internal storage and more rendering power. 'Featuring 8K graphics, more internal memory, improved ray tracing and upscaling, the PS5 Pro is the best console out right now, blowing the Xbox Series X out of the water,' said tech writer, Alex, in their PS5 Pro review. The definitive edition of the PS5, the PlayStation 5 Pro gets a £45 discount at PlayStation Direct. That's the cheapest we've seen it. The PSVR2 has to be experienced to be believed, teleporting your easily duped brain into spookily convincing virtual reality worlds. My PSVR2 review called it 'one of the best and easiest-to-use VR headsets you can buy today', adding that 'if you own a PS5 and want to tap into the wide and growing library of fascinating VR experiences that already exist, there's no simpler way to do it.' The hardware's standout title is easily Horizon: Call of the Mountain, a stunningly immersive white-knuckle adventure that blends climbing and archery combat. Right now there's £55 off at PlayStation Direct. Still reeling from the second season of The Last of Us? There's no better time to jump back into the games that inspired the show. Both parts of Naughty Dog's celebrated third-person zombie shooter – including the remastered second game – are discounted in the Days of Play sale. Here's a small saving on one of the best games of this generation. Astro Bot is PlayStation at its most Nintendo, a colourful and bouncy 3D platformer that's endlessly delightful and makes clever use of the DualSense controller's new features. Right now there's £8 off at PlayStation Direct.

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.
