Souls-likes have become an increasingly prominent genre within the video games space, with developers from across the world offering their own take on the highly-popular gameplay design format made famous by FromSoftware. While far from the peak of the genre, 2025’s Wuchang: Fallen Feathers did make an impression upon its initial release. Despite the reported shuttering of its dev studio, Wuchang has continued to find new players, with the game having now surpassed 5 million in total.

Taking to the game’s Steam page to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, publisher 505 Games revealed that the souls-like has surpassed a major milestone, writing:

“On this very special day, we're also delighted to confirm that we've surpassed 5 million players. Thank you to every single person who has played, supported, shared, and believed in WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers. Reaching this incredible milestone has only been possible thanks to this amazing community.”

It’s worth mentioning that 5 million players does not equate to 5 million copies sold, especially given that the game was added to PlayStation Plus back in May – likely helping to boost overall player numbers.

As mentioned, the studio behind Wuchang: Fallen Feathers – Leenzee – reportedly shut down just a couple months ago following backlash from fans due to claims of ‘censorship’ made after the game’s initial release. While nothing has been confirmed, the blog post celebrating Wuchang’s anniversary shied away from making any reference to studio ‘Leenzee’ (with the only mention of the team being as part of some legalese at the bottom of some celebratory art work.)

Regardless, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is worth checking out by fans of the souls-like genre.

Each Month, Sony updates its PlayStation Plus Essential line-up with a solid 3 titles or so, available to claim by all those with a PS Plus subscription. As they announced previously, July’s line-up is now officially available to add to your library – including the 2D Action-RPG CrossCode and Sledgehammer Games’ underrated Call of Duty Modern Warfare III.

Available to add to your library from now until the end of the month, July’s PlayStation Plus line-up features the following:

• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (2023)
• CrossCode
• For the King II

The headliner for this month is of course Modern Warfare III. Developed by Sledgehammer Games, 2023’s COD entry suffered somewhat at launch due to a relatively poor campaign alongside additional baggage being carried over from 2022’s MWII.

That being said, Modern Warfare III is one of the best COD entries in years – in particular when it comes to the multiplayer side of things; featuring countless weapons, camos, maps, modes and much more. While atypical, MWIII also includes its own Zombies mode, with MWZ proving to be a popular alternative to the standard round-based mode.

CrossCode meanwhile is a retro-inspired 2D Action-RPG featuring 16bit graphics and a fleshed out physics system alongside fast-paced and satisfying combat. Relkieased back in 2018, CrossCode saw high and consistent praise from both critics and fans alike – described as “a near-perfect attempt at recapturing the charm and magic of action RPGs from the 16-bit era.”

Released in late 2024, For the King II is a co-op turn-based roguelite tabletop RPG. While the game includes a full on campaign with 5 chapters to complete, this sequel also introduces a new ‘Infinite Dungeon Mode’ for added replayability.

Modern Warfare III, CrossCode and For The King II are all available to add to your library from today.

Each month, Sony introduces a variety of new and returning titles to its PlayStation Plus Extra / Premium subscription service. Unfortunately, we likewise see a number of games taken away each month – with July’s departees now being officially announced.

In going to the ‘Last Chance to Play’ section on the PS5’s PlayStation Plus tab, users will find a list of a dozen titles which are set to be removed from the service (likely during the 3rd week of July).

Though far from the harshest of months when it comes to game departures, there are a great deal of notable indies which are worth checking out before they’re gone; with the full list being as follows:

• Risk of Rain 2
• Tropico 6
• Clash: Artifacts of Chaos
• Roki
• Source of Madness
• Cursed to Golf
• Hundred Days
• OneeChanbara Origin
• Get Even
• Bomber Crew
• Space Crew
• Infinite Minigolf

While each of these games are worth playing in their own right, one of the more disappointing departees is Risk of Rain 2. An excellent rogue-like in all respects, one could spend dozens or even hundreds of hours unlocking new characters; abilities; build-crafting or just seeing how far you and your friends can go.

Tropico of course is another great game, and one which you could equally spend hundreds of hours on managing your island state. That said, the likes of Roki; Source of Madness and Cursed to Golf can easily be completed between now and their inevitable removals sometime mid-July.

Each month, Sony updates its PlayStation Plus Extra / Premium line-ups with new (and sometimes returning) games. As expected, June’s titles have now been officially unveiled. In an interesting move by the console maker however, Sony announced that all future releases on PlayStation Plus will be added in a staggered manner – at least in the UK, US and Japan.

Taking to their blog to make the announcement, Sony officially unveiled the full list of titles which will be joining PlayStation Plus Extra / Premium’s library later this month. Curiously, the console maker is changing the way it releases games onto the service, now taking a more staggered approach in certain regions.

While globally all the games will go live on the 16th of June, users in the US, UK and Japan will seemingly be getting some earlier, while others later; with Sony noting that they are “exploring new ways to deliver PlayStation Plus Game Catalog titles in select markets.”

With that, the full list of upcoming inclusions and their regional release dates are as follows:

• Sonic X Shadow Generations | PS5, PS4 (Available today)
• Final Fantasy XVI | PS5 (16th of June)
• Kingdom Come: Deliverance | PS5, PS4 (23rd of June)
• Life is Strange: Double Exposure | PS5 (23rd of June)
• Farming Simulator 25 | PS5 (30th of June)
• Blades of Fire | PS5 (30th of June)
• Black Desert | PS5 (30th of June)
• [PS Plus Premium] Gitaroo Man (16th of June)

While a solid month overall, particularly with the inclusion of Final Fantasy XVI, Life is Strange: Double Exposure and Kingdom Come, PlayStation’s decision to spread their arrivals across multiple weeks in a small handful of regions does seem a bit odd.

That said, it is likely that this renewed version of the program will find its way to the rest of the world in due time. We will have to wait and see.

PlayStation has revealed its June 2026 batch of PS Plus Extra and Premium games, adding seven new games to the game catalog available to subscribers at the Extra tier, while Premium subscribers get an eighth game via the Classics catalog. On top of the three games already added for Essential subscribers, headlining this month's games is the 2023 epic, Final Fantasy XVI, which also enters the service alongside other deep narrative experiences. Just a few short months after it received an update for current-gen platforms, Kingdom Come: Deliverance rides into the PS Plus Extra game catalog alongside FFXVI. Those two […]

Each month, Sony offers 3 or so titles for ‘free’ as part of the console maker’s PlayStation Plus Essential subscription service. In an unexpected announcement, June’s line-up will include the previously-Xbox-exclusive first-party survival crafter ‘Grounded: Fully Yoked Edition’ alongside Warhammer 40K Darktide.

Making the announcement via their PlayStation Blog, Sony officially detailed June’s PS Plus Essential offerings. Available to claim from the 2nd of June, subscribers can look forward to the following:

• Grounded: Fully Yoked Edition [PS5 / PS4]
• Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl 2 [PS5 / PS4]
• Warhammer 40k: Darktide [PS5]

As mentioned, the headliner for the month is Grounded. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment, this co-op survival-crafter shrinks players down, forcing them to navigate a regular-sized garden a-la Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

Initially released in Early Access as an Xbox console exclusive, the full game would later be made available across all platforms. Still, the inclusion of a first-party Xbox title on PlayStation Plus is interesting to note, and opens up the doors for other Microsoft games later down the line.

Curiously, alongside the above offerings, PlayStation is also keeping one of May’s titles around for a couple more weeks, with EA Sports FC 26 remaining claimable up until the 16th of June.

Whether this is due to the recent price increase for PS Plus or not remains unknown. Either way, for those who missed out on May’s offerings, you’ll have a bit more time to add at least one of the games to your library.

With PlayStation announcing its annual Days of Play sale will kick off tomorrow, May 27, 2026, the platform has also revealed the PS Plus Essential games for June 2026, headlined by Grounded: Fully Yoked Edition for both PS5 and PS4. The self-described "ultimate" version of the survival game from Xbox Game Studios-owned Obsidian Entertainment joins the fray, but another game added last month stays on for the FIFA World Cup. That's EA Sports FC 26, unsurprisingly. If you didn't get a chance to download it or even just add it to your library for the month of May 2026 (which […]

Each month Sony updates its PlayStation Plus line-up with a selection of new or returning titles. Unfortunately, the console maker also removes games on a monthly basis. With May’s PlayStation Plus Extra / Premium offerings now available to play, Sony has detailed its list of 5 titles in total which are set to depart from the service next month.

In going to the last chance to play section on the PlayStation 5’s PS Plus tab, users can find a list of 5 titles in total which are set to leave the service next month. Though no exact date is given, subscribers can expect the following to be removed around the middle of June:

• We Love Katamari REROLL [PS5 / PS4]
• The Incredibles [PS4]
• Lawn Mowing Simulator [PS5 / PS4]
• Scott Pilgrim vs. the World [PS4]
• Red Dead Redemption [PS5 / PS4]

The most notable title leaving is of course Red Dead Redemption, with the PS4/5 remaster only joining the service late last year. That said, pretty much all of Rockstar’s games have operated in a similar manner – joining PlayStation Plus for roughly 6 months before being removed.

Such is the case with the studio’s 2018 sequel/prequel Red Dead Redemption 2, which recently joined PS Plus for the 3rd time since 2024.

Regardless, you should have enough time to complete all of the listed titles before they are removed in roughly 3 weeks’ time, with the likes of Katamari and Scott Pilgrim being short-yet-sweet experiences.

The full list of titles which were recently added to PlayStation Plus Extra / Premium can be found HERE.

While Microsoft has been rather reactive when it comes to altering its Xbox Game Pass prices, Sony’s PlayStation Plus has remained relatively static in recent years. Finally however, Sony has made the unfortunate announcement that they will be raising the price for PS Plus starting from tomorrow – albeit only for new subscribers.

Making the surprise announcement on Twitter, the official PlayStation page wrote the following: “Starting May 20, PlayStation Plus prices for new customers will increase in select regions. Due to ongoing market conditions, prices will start at $10.99 USD / €9.99 EUR / £7.99 GBP [previously £6.99] for 1-month subscriptions and $27.99 USD / €27.99 EUR / £21.99 GBP [was £19.99] for 3-month subscriptions.”

While disappointing to see, Sony made sure to note that this increase does not apply to current subscribers. That said, if you do let your PS Plus subscription lapse, then you will be put on the higher pricing tier should you wish to return.

Additionally, Sony’s most cost-effective tier – their 12 month subscription – appears to be unaltered, meaning you should still be able to subscribe to the service for £59.99 (or roughly £5 a month).

Regardless, it is disappointing to see PlayStation Plus go up in price, especially as the service itself does not appear to be changing in any material way for the better.

For those who are subscribed to PS Plus, May’s Extras offerings are available to play from today, including the likes of Star Wars: Outlaws, Red Dead Redemption 2 among others. The full list can be found HERE.

Well, it's happened again. PlayStation has announced a price increase for its PS Plus subscription service, but this time it's only impacting new customers, with current subscribers mostly unaffected, unless you live in Turkey or India. In those countries, even current subscribers will see their subscription payments go up. Announced in a short post on the official PlayStation X (formerly Twitter) account, PlayStation confirmed that beginning in just two days on May 20, 2026, new customers will see PS Plus subscriptions start at $10.99 USD/month instead of the previous $9.99/month. Three-month subscriptions will go up to $27.99 USD/three months from […]

PlayStation has revealed May's batch of PS Plus Extra and Premium games joining the Games Catalog and the Classic's Catalog, and it's a pretty solid list of seven games joining the service, headlined by Star Wars Outlaws and Red Dead Redemption 2, with an eighth title joining the Classic's library. This batch is arguably a better offering than what we had last month, especially considering that one of the bigger titles from April's PS Plus Extra games, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, was a game that was previously available in the PS Plus Extra library, only to be removed and then […]

Each month, Sony updates its PlayStation Plus offerings, giving subscribers to its platform a collection of games for ‘free’. With April nearing its end, Sony have now officially detailed May’s PS Plus Essential offerings – including the souls-like Wuchang: Fallen Feathers alongside the newest entry in EA’s Sports FC series.

Making the announcement via the PlayStation Blog, Adam Michel – the Director of Content Acquisition & Operations at SIE – officially unveiled the full line-up of PlayStation Plus Essential offerings for next month. Going live from the 5th of May, subscribers can look forward to:

• EA Sports FC 26 | PS5, PS4 
• Wuchang: Fallen Feathers | PS5
• Nine Sols| PS5, PS4

EA Sports FC is a known quantity at this point, with you either being a fan of the football franchise, or have little-to-no-interest. Still, its addition to PS Plus Essential is a pretty big deal, with this marking the most recent entry in the evergreen football franchise.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers meanwhile is a souls-like which released last year. Developed by the now-shuttered Leenzee and published by 505 Games, the title was met with a somewhat mixed reaction owing to its steep learning curve and optimisation issues (both of which were addressed during its post-launch support period). While certainly not for everyone, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is worth giving a go for fans of the genre.

As mentioned, all three titles will be available to acquire from the 5th of May, meaning you have until then to claim April’s offerings if you have yet to do so. Full details on April’s PS Plus Essential line-up can be found HERE.

PlayStation has revealed the three games that'll be made available for free to PS Plus subscribers at the PS Plus Essential tier for the month of May 2026. While April's games included one title that can be connected to the action games sub-genre of Soulslikes, May's entries include two popular Soulslikes on top of another annual sports title in EA Sports FC 26. The big headliner game for subscribers to kick off April 2026 was Lords of the Fallen, which is the aforementioned Soulslike game for this month. May, on the other hand, has two popular Soulslike titles: WUCHANG: Fallen […]

With the latest additions to Sony’s PlayStation Plus Extra / Premium game subscription service now available, the console maker has also informed fans on what titles are set to be removed soon – with a total of 7 games getting ready to depart including Control and The Dark Pictures Anthology.

In going to the Last Chance to Play section on the PlayStation 5’s PS Plus page, users will find a total of 7 titles set to leave PlayStation Plus Extra / Premium’s service. Though no exact date was given, expect the following to be removed come sometime mid-May:

• MotoGP 25
• Sand Land
• Soul Hackers 2
• Mortal Shell
• Control Ultimate Edition
• The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan
• The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope

Compared to most months, May’s departees are rather notable across the board, with Mortal Shell being a competent souls-like; Soul Hackers 2 coming from the much-loved ATLUS; The Dark Pictures Anthology serving your B-Movie needs and last but not least Control – offering a highly fun, unique and intriguing 3rd-person shooter experience from Remedy Entertainment.

While there is unlikely to be enough time for you to complete all of these titles before they’re gone, subscribers might want to make sure to check out Control before its removal, especially with its sequel set to launch some time this year.

PlayStation's long-running subscription service, PlayStation Plus (or PS Plus for short) has been through a lot of iterations since it was first introduced all the way back during the PlayStation 3 era. Certain things have stayed the same, like subscribers getting a few games a month added to their library with the price of their subscription, but most of it has changed, and this hub is designed to keep track of those changes. Below, you'll find lists of every game available at each tier of PS Plus subscription, including breakdowns of the different tiers and their prices. We'll also keep […]

Last week, a report from the ever-reliable Billbil-kun at Dealabs claimed that the PS Plus Essential games for April 2026 would be headlined by Lords of the Fallen (2023). Unsurprisingly, Billbil-kun was, as they have been several times before, exactly right, proven by today's official reveal that CI Games' 2023 reboot will indeed headline this month's titles ahead of Lords of the Fallen 2 releasing later this year. Alongside the Soulslike action RPG is a collection of three games rolled into one, with Tomb Raider I-III Remastered as one of the three titles available to all PS Plus subscribers, rounded […]

As we near the end of a month and the beginning of another, we also get closer to the time when PlayStation will reveal the next batch of PS Plus Essential games to kick off a new month. And, as we've come to expect, reliable leaker Billbil-kun at Dealabs already knows which title is headlining that new batch of games. We've noted this previously, but it's worth repeating that you should always take unconfirmed rumors, no matter their source, with a grain of salt.

Yesterday, the ever-reliable leaker Billbil-kun at Dealabs leaked six of the games that would be included in the March 2026 batch of PS Plus Extra and Premium games. Today, as expected, PlayStation revealed the official announcement of this month's new catalog entries, confirming all previously leaked titles and adding a seventh game to boot in Blasphemous 2. Those six titles leaked titles, as a reminder, are: Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, Metal Eden, Persona 5 Royal, Madden NFL 26, Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, and Astroneer. The PS Plus Premium title that is getting added to the Classics […]

A couple weeks into each month, Sony announces and releases its line-up of PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium titles. As with most months however, leakers have uncovered Sony’s plans early – revealing a pretty meaty month for PS Plus Extra including but not limited to Persona 5 royal and Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2.

As reported by Billbil-kun via dealabs (who has accurately leaked tons of previous monthly line-ups), PlayStation Plus Extra / Premium subscribers are set to receive a strong selection of titles next week. While things could of course change, as it stands Sony is set to bring half a dozen titles to the service on the 17th of March, namely:

• Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (PS5)
• Persona 5 Royal (PS5 | PS4)
• Madden NFL 26 (PS5)
• Metal Eden (PS5)
• The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria (PS5)
• Astroneer (PS4)

For many, the headliners for the month are Persona 5 Royal and Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2.

Of course, Persona 5 Royal is the expanded/complete version of ATLUS’ 2016 JRPG. Released in 2019 (2020 in the West) the title introduced new characters; confidants; a 3rd semester and more. If you’ve not played Persona 5 in any capacity, Royal will have you sorted out for the next 100-150 hours or so.

Space Marine 2 on the other hand released in 2024 – a decade on from its first entry. The wait was worth it however, with the action-heavy 3rd-person shooter going on to sell millions of copies. Since launch, the title has only continued to improve, with the game receiving a ton of major updates, adding all sorts from new weapons to modes and much more; meaning now (well, next week) is as good a time as any to get stuck in.

Of course, Sony have yet to make the announcement themselves, and so we will have to wait and see, but Billbil’s track record when it comes to PlayStation Plus has been pretty much spotless and so expect the above to be your PS Plus Extra titles for the month of March.
