For Games with Gold, Star Wars Episode I: Racer will be available from May 1 to May 31, while Hoa will occupy the mid-month slot from May 16 to June 15.

On Sony's side, GRID Legends, Chivalry 2 and Descenders will be free starting on May 2. This means that your last chance to get April's games - Meet Your Maker, Sackboy: A Big Adventure and Tails of Iron - is May 1.

Star Wars Episode I Racer

Climb on and strap in for some old-school “Star Wars Episode I” podracing action. Play as young Anakin Skywalker or any of the over twenty-one podracers. Fire up your two massive jet engines and rev up to 600 MPH as you race by and over flaming methane lakes, through meteor showers, past Tusken Raiders, and more. May the Force be with you!

Hoa

Travel through the beautiful, mythologically inspired world of Hoa. Play as the titular fairy returning to her homeland to reinvigorate the terrain and its inhabitants. This is a soothing, meditative puzzle-platformer which will utterly charm you with hand-painted art and a beautiful score. Lose yourself in the little wonders.

Worst month for Sony

Every month being worst for over a year now.

PS5 as bad a buy as Xbox one was. PS4 was good.

 

[pivix]

This month looks really bad.

I remember when PS+ was actually worth it, right after it launched.

I can't wait for Descenders!! Always been my dream to play it

But being serious here, when the PS4 first launched I was stucked with "No starve" and other shitty games, in fact I cannot remember any good game that 1st year.

Xbox Games for Gold hasn't been good either. They seem to give us cheap games. Sony needs to bring back giving us PS Vita and PS3 games as well.
