Sony announced PlayStation Plus's May monthly games lineup today. The subscription service adds Nine Sols to its catalog, a 2D action-platformer that earned critical acclaim for its challenging combat and hand-drawn art style. Nine Sols released on other platforms last year and delivers solid value for PS Plus subscribers at no extra cost.
The announcement confirms what many expected. Nine Sols represents a respectable addition to PS Plus's rotating catalog, though Sony withheld details on the remaining May titles at publication. The company typically reveals the full slate across all subscription tiers (Essential, Extra, Premium) within days.
Nine Sols alone justifies checking this month's offerings. The game demands skill and patience, rewarding players who master its intricate combat system. It's exactly the type of quality indie release that makes PS Plus subscriptions worthwhile beyond the major AAA releases.
Subscribers should claim these games once they go live. PlayStation Plus's monthly rotation moves fast, and missing a month means losing access to that title forever unless you own it separately.
