Starting May 5, 2026, PS Plus members will gain access to EA Sports FC 26 for free, marking a significant enhancement to the subscription service. This addition comes alongside two other games, expanding the value proposition for gamers.

Key additions to PS Plus:

  • EA Sports FC 26 will be available for all PS Plus members.
  • Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, a PS5-exclusive title, will also be free on the same date.
  • Nine Sols, a 2D action-platformer, will be accessible for both PS4 and PS5 users.

This update shifts the landscape of PlayStation Plus offerings. Previously, members received three or four free games each month depending on their subscription tier. Now with these major titles included, players may see increased engagement.

The three-tier structure of PS Plus remains intact. Members can choose from:

  • PS Plus Essential at £6.99 / €8.99 / $9.99 / AU$11.95 per month.
  • PS Plus Extra at £10.99 / €13.99 / $14.99 / AU$18.95 per month.
  • PS Plus Premium at £13.49 / €16.99 / $17.99 per month with added features like game demos and classic games.

Moreover, in an interesting development for PS5 users, consoles can now run Linux, allowing them to play thousands of PS3 games without needing a PlayStation Plus subscription. This capability opens new avenues for retro gaming enthusiasts.

As one expert noted, “Your patience is being rewarded,” reflecting the excitement around these new offerings in the gaming community. With gamers sharing footage of their experiences on social media platforms like X, the buzz surrounding these titles is palpable.
