This month’s PlayStation Plus lineup includes Balatro, Ark and Warhammer

PlayStation Plus subscribers have some interesting new titles coming their way in May. Leading the lineup for this month are the hugely popular Poker/roguelike hybrid Balatro, the retro-styled shooter Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, and the ambitious survival title Ark: Survival Ascended. All three games will become available to add to your library starting Tuesday, May 6th.

Balatro has taken the gaming world by storm with its incredibly addictive poker-meets-roguelike gameplay, and PS Plus members can now see what all the hype is about on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. For old-school shooter lovers, dive into the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40,000 with Boltgun, a fast-paced first-person shooter featuring graphics reminiscent of classic 1990s titles, a varied arsenal, and satisfyingly frantic action. Boltgun will be available on both PS4 and PS5.

Lastly, for those seeking a survival experience, Ark: Survival Ascended is a remaster of the 2015 original, utilising Unreal Engine 5. This version includes all previously released DLC (Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, Ark: Genesis Part 1, and Ark: Genesis Part 2), supports up to 70-player online multiplayer, and features two-player local split-screen. However, note that this version is exclusive to PlayStation 5.

As the digital doors open for new titles, others must make way. PlayStation Plus subscribers have a short window left to claim the April PlayStation Plus games. You'll need to make sure you've added titles like the well-received RoboCop: Rogue City and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker's Memory to your game collection by Monday, May 5th, before they depart the service.
