PlayStation Plus welcomes the iconic Western game Red Dead Redemption 2 back to its May lineup, ready for players to immerse themselves in the expansive wild west adventure starting May 21. The critically acclaimed title from Rockstar Games joins other interesting games like Cat Quest 2, The Sims 4 expansion City Living, and the star-studded Crime Boss: Rockay City. The latter features performances from accomplished actors such as Michael Madsen, Danny Trejo, and even Chuck Norris. Classic games like 2Xtreme and Worms Pinball will also be available for Premium subscribers, enhancing the already rich PlayStation Plus catalog. However, players should note that the beloved hit Horizon Zero Dawn will leave the Game Catalog on the same day.

What other games are included in the PlayStation Plus May lineup?

Aside from Red Dead Redemption 2, other additions to the PlayStation Plus May lineup include Cat Quest 2, Crime Boss: Rockay City, Deceive Inc., The Sims 4 City Living for PS4, Stranded: Alien Dawn, The Settlers: New Allies, Cat Quest, The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame, and Watch Dogs. PlayStation Premium Classics for this month feature 2Xtreme, G-Police, and Worms Pinball for PS4 and PS5.

Released by Rockstar Games in October 2018, Red Dead Redemption 2 received widespread acclaim for its story, characters, and its incredibly detailed open world. The narrative follows Arthur Morgan, a member of the Van der Linde gang, as he confronts the decline of the Wild West whilst trying to survive against government forces, rival gangs, and other adversaries. The game is a prequel to 2010's Red Dead Redemption and the third entry in the Red Dead series. With its blend of story missions, multiplayer content, and dynamic encounters, Red Dead Redemption 2 stands as a modern classic in the action-adventure genre, offering players countless hours of immersive gameplay in a meticulously crafted representation of the American frontier.
