The PS Plus Extra and Premium games for May 2023 reveal puts more pressure on the service than normal, and they have to rise to the occasion.
It’s a simple truth for every subscription service that some months (or product additions) are not going to be as good as others, but perhaps nowhere is that more true than gaming subscriptions like PS Plus or Xbox Game Pass. Both have endured their own hills and valleys throughout their time, but the PS Plus free games for May 2023 may be considered a low point for the service.
There have been worse months, but the PS Plus essential tier gives fans Grid Legends, Chivalry 2, and Descenders, none of which carry the strength of a headlining title or the mass appeal needed to really “hit” on the service. It should be noted that these are not bad games, but the more niche a title is, the more its potential popularity suffers on PS Plus. At large, this is one of the weakest months of PS Plus in recent memory, but while the PS Plus Essential tier is now set in stone, the Extra and Premium tiers are not.
