May 2024 PS Plus Predictions
Now on to the good stuff – getting predictions wrong! PlayStation likes to announce their PlayStation Plus games on the last Wednesday of the month, which would make a possible announcement on April 24th for the games we predict below:
I know, I know, predicting a sports game is the safe and boring pick; but hey, it’s the most probable candidate. Madden games always release on a yearly cycle in August just before the football season kicks off. We’re only a couple of months away from August, which means last year’s Madden has precious few opportunities to be featured as a free PS Plus game, which is why we predict it this May.
Madden 24 released on August 15th last year to middling reviews from fans and critics alike. While the Franchise and story modes received cool new updates and enhancements, just about everything else about the experience was repetitive and lackluster. As ourreviewpointed out, Madden 24 was a “remarkably adequate” sports title, one that might just be worth it if it were a free PS Plus game this month.
Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition
The Ukrainian-based 4A Studio has been hard at work on the next mainline Metro game for close to five years now. Though world events have slowed development, we’re likely to see news of a new mainline Metro game sometime this year. That being said, if you have a PS VR machine, you don’t have to wait long to immerse yourself in a newMetrogame.
Metro Awakening has been marketed by Sony as the latest and greatest game for PS VR2. It’s set to come out in 2024. Due to Metro Awakening’s status as the hot new PS VR2 game, and the likelihood of a mainline Metro announcement sometime this year, Metro Exodus Enhanced is our pick as a free PS Plus game of May.
SnowRunner
The off-road driving sim from Saber Interactive has been a hotly predicted PS Plus game for years now. We think this is the month for it to finally shine. One reason SnowRunner is likely to drop as a free PS Plus game in May is the looming release of Saber Interactive’s big new game, Warhammer 40K : Space Marine 2 on September 9th. There’s no better time to boost Saber Interactive’s visibility than right now, months before their big release.
May also seems like the optimal time to put SnowRunner as a free PS Plus game because Expeditions: A MudRunner Game just released on March 5th this year. What better time to slot SnowRunner into the PS Plus lineup than in-between the studio’s two big 2024 games?
That concludes ourPS Plus May 2024 predictions & release date. 2024 has been a heck of a year for games,RPGs especially, and we’ve just arrived at the Spring season. At Twinfinite, we’ll share the latestreviewsandbuild guidesto help you navigate this year in gaming.
