Sony has revealed the PlayStation Plus game lineup for May 2023 including Chivalry 2 (PS4 and PS5), GRID Legends (PS4 and PS5), and Descenders (PS4).
The three games revealed on the official PlayStation blog will be downloadable by all PlayStation Plus subscribers at no added cost from May 2 up until June 6.
Grid Legends
GRID Legends is a 2022 racing title from Codemasters, which features the documentary-style live action story mode Driven to Glory, alongside new race modes, a 22 player multiplayer offering, and a main career mode. In IGN’s 7/10 review we described the game as “a sure step up” from its predecessors that flexes the franchise’s 20 plus year history.
Chivalry 2
Chivalry 2 meanwhile takes a multiplayer first approach to medieval combat, immersing players in large-scale 64-player brawls as they compete over a range of objectives accross sprawling maps. Players can choose from a selection of 12 classes, each of which have their own distinct strengths, weaknesses, and gameplay styles. The PS5 version of the game also benefits from running in 4K at 60 fps.
Descenders
Indie developer RageSquid’s Descenders rounds out PlayStation’s May offering, featuring “in-depth physics” paired with procedurally generated downhill freeriding levels. Players can unlock new bikes and outfits while improving their online “Rep system” in this “easy to pick up, but difficult to master” game.
PlayStation Plus subscribers also have until Monday (May 1) to download last month’s offering, which includes Behaviour Interactive’s Meet Your Maker, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, and Tails of Iron before they disappear.
