PS Plus May 2026: Star Wars Outlaws and RDR2 Join the Catalog

If you have been sitting on the fence about Star Wars Outlaws, PlayStation Plus just made the decision for you. Sony confirmed that Star Wars Outlaws and Red Dead Redemption 2 are both landing in the PS Plus Game Catalog on May 19, alongside six other titles. That is a stacked drop by any measure.

What Is Coming on May 19

Here is the full lineup of new additions hitting PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium next week:

  • Star Wars Outlaws — Ubisofts open-world Star Wars game finally finds its way to subscription
  • Red Dead Redemption 2 — Rockstars genre-defining western still holds up beautifully
  • Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn — A solid soulslike from A44 Games that flew under the radar at launch
  • Enotria: The Last Song — An Italian folklore-inspired action RPG with great art direction
  • Four additional titles to be revealed closer to the date

Why This Drop Matters

Star Wars Outlaws had a rough launch window back in 2024, but subsequent patches addressed most of the early criticism. Playing it now — especially for free as part of your existing sub — is genuinely the best time to jump in. The open-world design, stealth mechanics, and Star Wars atmosphere are all at their best in the current updated version.

Red Dead Redemption 2, meanwhile, needs no introduction. If you somehow missed Rockstars magnum opus, this is the version of events where you have zero excuses left. It is one of the best games ever made, full stop.

Games Leaving on May 19

The catalog refresh cuts both ways — eight titles are also leaving on the same date. Sony has not published the full removal list yet, so if anything in the current catalog has been on your backlog, now is the time to start. You have until May 18 at midnight.

Is This Enough to Justify PS Plus?

Monthly games come and go, but catalog drops like this are what separate PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium from the base tier. Getting a game like RDR2 into the subscription — years after launch, sure, but still — is exactly what makes the higher tiers worth the extra cost for heavy gamers.

Whether you are a PS Plus subscriber already or thinking about upgrading from the base tier, May 19 is a date worth circling. Star Wars Outlaws alone is worth a few evenings of your time.
