The PlayStation Plus Game Catalog is getting some nice additions this month, starting on May 21. While it is a re-release, Red Dead Redemption 2 (PlayStation 4) headlines this month’s lineup. The game includes Red Dead Online, the multiplayer experience set in the Red Dead Redemption 2 world. If you have somehow missed this masterpiece from Rockstar Games, the creators of Grand Theft Auto V, you’ll want to try it when it’s added to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog.
Next up is Deceive Inc. (PlayStation 5), a multiplayer game of social stealth and subterfuge. Featuring a roster of diverse agents, Deceive Inc. appeals to different playstyles, as you’ll have to use every trick available to extract the package before the competition takes it. The next addition is exciting only if you own The Sims 4, as The Sims 4 City Living is being added to the library. The expansion pack centers around apartment living and helping your sims work up to the penthouse of their dreams.
Last year’s Crime Boss: Rockay City (PlayStation 5) is next on the list, allowing you to play as a rising underworld star, Travis Baker, played by Michael Madsen. Featuring a solo-player roguelike campaign, players need to take on heists and claim turf from rival gang leaders while trying to avoid getting captured by Sheriff Norris, played by none other than Chuck Norris. While the game does have a star-studded cast, don’t get too excited—it’s sitting at a 52 on Metacritic. Since it’s part of the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, it might be worth checking out, even if just to sate your morbid curiosity.
Those looking for a strategy game can try The Settlers: New Allies (PlayStation 4). The game features three factions: the Elari, the Maru, and the Jorn, each with its own unique playstyle. Play online with up to eight players or experience the story-driven campaign in this real-time strategy game. Survival game enthusiasts can check out Stranded: Alien Dawn (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5). It’s a planet survival sim where players must make decisions to protect their survivors from starvation, disease, extreme weather, and alien creatures.
Both Cat Quest (PlayStation 4) and Cat Quest II (PlayStation 4) will also join the lineup, getting everyone excited about the release of Cat Quest III in August. Both games are open-world RPGs set in a fantasy realm of cats and dogs. If you’re done with those games and want even more lighthearted and fun content, The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame (PlayStation 4) will be waiting. Join Emmet and other heroic characters as they set out to go beyond their world and save their friends from the strange inhabitants of the Systar System. Lastly, the original Watch Dogs (PlayStation 4) returns to PlayStation Plus.
