There are some cool games coming to PlayStation Plus in May, including one
modern classic. This monthΓÇÖs titles include the universally-beloved
Balatro, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun and Ark: Survival Ascended. All three
games will be available to PS Plus members beginning on May 6.

Unless youΓÇÖve been living under a rock, youΓÇÖve likely heard of Balatro.
ItΓÇÖs sort of a sequel to poker and sort of a roguelike. ItΓÇÖs also utterly
hypnotic and addictive. IΓÇÖve yet to find a human who didnΓÇÖt become
entranced by its simple and captivating gameplay. We have given this game
lots of love, and with good reason. To play Balatro is to love Balatro and,
over time, to start dreaming about insane combos. This is an absolute must-
play for subscribers. ItΓÇÖll be available for both PS4 and PS5.

Ark: Survival Ascended is a remake of 2015ΓÇÖs Ark: Survival Evolved that has
been "reimagined from the ground-up with Unreal Engine 5." ThereΓÇÖs new
graphics, a new physics system and tons of quality-of-life upgrades. This
version includes access to all DLC, like Scorched Earth, Aberration,
Extinction, Ark Genesis Part 1 and Ark Genesis Part 2. It also allows for
public online multiplayer for up to 70 players and local split-screen for two
players. This oneΓÇÖs only for PS5.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is a FPS set in the popular Warhammer universe. It
boasts visuals inspired by classic shooters from the 1990s, with an eclectic
arsenal of weapons to match. The levels are huge, the enemies are fun to mow
down and the gameplay is speedy. WhatΓÇÖs not to like? ItΓÇÖll be playable on
PS4 and PS5.

Now for some bad news. As new stuff comes to PS Plus, old games get shuttled
to that farm upstate. Subscribers only have until May 5 to download titles
like RoboCop: Rogue City and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth ΓÇô HackerΓÇÖs
Memory to their game libraries.
