May 2026 PS Plus Essential Lineup Brings a Pleasant Surprise

Sony announced the PS Plus Essential May 2026 lineup: Wuchang: Fallen Feathers (PS5), EA Sports FC 26 (PS5/PS4), and Nine Sols (PS5/PS4). They become available on May 5 and can be claimed through June 1; as with Essential, these games are yours to keep while your membership remains active. The slate is notable for its surprise inclusion of Wuchang, a title released less than a year ago, and continues the trend of a May lineup that includes only one PS4 game.
