Cities: Skylines and Farming Simulator 19 are Your PlayStation Plus Games for May

Build the metropolis of your dreams or get to tilling the land as you embrace an agricultural lifestyle.

Two very different lifestyles will compete for your time thanks to next month’s PlayStation Plus lineup. Challenge yourself to design, then maintain, your ultimate metropolis in city-building strategy sim Cities: Skylines. Want a break from the city life? Take in the country air as you turn your hand to agriculture in Farming Simulator 19.  

Let’s take a closer look at both games. 

Cities: Skylines – PlayStation 4 Edition

Cities: Skylines and Farming Simulator 19 are Your PlayStation Plus Games for May

Do you have what it takes to develop a small, bustling community into a sprawling megacity? In Cities: Skylines, the acclaimed city builder sim by Paradox Interactive, you make the decisions that will see your city flourish or fail. You’ll need strategic smarts to keep your burgeoning ecosystem from collapse, ensuring your ever-growing populace stay happy and the industries that are the lifeblood of your expanding metropolis continue to thrive.   

Farming Simulator 19

Cities: Skylines and Farming Simulator 19 are Your PlayStation Plus Games for May

Stressed by the bustling city life and eager to tackle a more sedate livelihood? Rural escapism awaits with Farming Simulator 19! Developer GIANTS Software has packed in a wealth of agricultural pastimes to lose yourself in as you set out to maintain a homestead. Harvest crops, raise livestock, tackle forest, ride your own horses…or just jump behind the wheel of your John Deere tractor or one of over 300 authentic farming vehicles and go for a drive.  

Both titles will be available to download from Tuesday, May 5, until Monday, June 1.

Last Chance! Grab April’s PS Plus Games

As a reminder, you’ve still got until Monday, May 4, to download this month’s PS Plus games. Quick wits, fast fists and inventive use of weaponry are essential to survive the danger-filled, globe-trotting journey of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, while nerves of steel and precision driving are essential to roar to championship glory in racing sim DIRT Rally 2.0.

  • ***? Seriously? Is this a joke or are you really looking to **** off your subscribers? Think I’ll look at trading in and going back to xbox at least they have a better selection of games of the month most of the time.

  • PlayStation, I believe everyone agrees with me when I say that you should switch the May games, with something more.. story driven/better multiplayer, with COVID-19 and quarantine happening, everyone needs something to help them kill time, Farming Simulator and City Skylines is NOT a good example of that. Dying Light or maybe a game like SpeedRunners is a good example of that though. Please consider it. Thank you.

    • They are not Samaritans: they won’t switch anything for the greater good.
      The answer that you won’t receive is: do you want a videogame to get distracted from COVID? Then buy it.

  • BORING! Sim games sucked in the 2000’s and they are still boring today.. And this is what we get when people are stuck at home?..hmm… Maybe i will go outside for May…. Maybe even start working out again….. *Puts down the controller* i’m free….bye PlayStation…. I’m going outside….its been so long… I wonder what its like……

  • Hahahahahahaha good one sony but naw for real tell us the real games that we are going to get this month

  • Hahahahahahaha

  • underprivlidged

    I have had PS Plus since it first came out, and have seen quite a few months that just were not for me…

    But this? Oh my. Whoever decided on these two games must hate the Playstation brand to go and sabotage like this.

  • Very disappointing.You could do better than this.

  • This is just plain bad.

  • Can I please get Klank 2 instead of either of these even though I don’t live in China or Germany?

    I am serious.

  • Really?
    I’m sure you guys could have done much better than this, especially considering the nation is currently going through something that keeps a lot of people from being able to get out.
    2019 to now has been pretty dissapointing overall.
    Some good games, amid a majority of eh.

  • Garbages Games…

  • Honesty, I think I see what PlayStation is trying to do, Animal Crossing just came out and did really well, especially with people saying that it couldn’t have come out at a better time. IMO it seems like PlayStation is trying you capitalize on that success and is releasing similar games.

    On the other hand releasing two super niche games in similar genres might be a little over kill. If I were me I’d choose only one and go with something that the total opposite, like Doom 2016. Everyone seemed to love the idea of an Animal Crossing/Doom crossover. Also rather than Cities Skylines and/or Farming Simulator I’d probably go for something like Stardew Valley, as it’s gameplay is a little closer to Animal Crossing

  • How big of a library of games does the ps4 have and yet this is the best Sony can offer, loads of early ps4 titles they could offer but no.. also remember we don’t get any ps vita or ps3 offerings any more.

  • jordanakablackop

    Is dragon ball Kakarot going on sales again?

  • I knew this would happen lol. Just recently bought Farming Simulator 19. Great game.

  • Would love to get “This War of Mine” on PS Plus. I’ll probably just buy it though as I’d rather not wait, but it would be a great option.

  • Thanks! And not that’s not ironic :D.
    We got great adventure / action games lately so this be a nice change of pace. I like getting to try games that I would probably never have bought, even though I might enjoy them.

  • Sony, please be aware that giving the same games on PS Now to PS Plus subscribers essentially negates the value in subscribing to both services.
    I can guarantee that I will not renew my PS Now subscription if this keeps up. It’s an insult.

    • Sammy______Snake

      right? tbh I find it insulting when they give games away that other services and platforms have given away for free.

      Because Sony are almost without fail, the last to give it away so it hold no weight and the publisher’s negotiated price has invariably bottomed out.

  • Is this a joke ? What **** this game is sont really you disapointed me … The King of switching to xbox for next gen

  • heard good things about Skyline, looking forward to it. Will even give Farm sim a try

  • I just realized how old I am when I am excited about the free games dropping in May. -oldest millennial ;)

  • Having these as us titles wouldn’t be the worst if they weren’t in the same month. Hopefully this goes the same way as it did when everyone lost their crap over two sports titles in the same month. You’d think they would learn their lesson. I guess this is the kind of effort you get when everyone is working from home lol

  • Wow.
    You know, art is subjective.
    Because one doesn’t enjoy a genre is nowhere near saying the genre is bad.
    Imagine all the games you like that you wouldn’t have for free if it weren’t GIVEN to you, every month. Multiple, free games. Every month.
    Spoilt ass children.

  • This lineup sucks

  • Had to log-on just to say this lineup is trash.. why two sims, when everyone in quarantine 👎👎

  • Please say this was a joke and you are not serious about these games, they are horrible, please change them!

  • CrayZeyes_YOSHI

    This is why I think we should get an option to replace 1 game each month or give us a choice out of 4 or 5. Even if they are lower budget games. I’d rather have a game I want to play or might play than a game I’m just going to add to my library just in case. I’d rather have ToeJam and Earl($3.74) and Guts and Glory($3.74) than those 2 sims. ( Both games are sale prices.

  • Hoping to see something else brought to the table in the Play at Home initiative for May.

  • Is this a late April Fool’s joke?

  • Be respectful in the comments lmao. You guys aren’t being respectful when you are sitting here giving us garbage. I don’t care if you gave everyone free games because of Corona. Don’t give me trash for the service I payed for. I already own one of the titles.

  • You cannot possibly tell me there aren’t games years older than these that you could have put on PS Plus for far cheaper. So it’s not even a monetary thing, it’s just being lazy.

  • Everyone is at home bored because of covid. How does watching plants grow digitally help this issue?

  • Everyone complaining, “FREE GAMES” THEY AREN’T FREE!, You get use of them as long as you pay the subscription. Not every month is catered to you specifically.

  • I’m sorry but these games don’t look very fun especially right now

  • Interesting line up, seen a few friends play farming sim and would like to give it a try, but releasing two sims is kind of slapping all of your player base in the face. Also if you own the game already why don’t you give the plus members store currency like 5 dollars or half the current sales price? You kind of been rude to those who been supporting you for years and owning almost every game just to release ones they most likely own already.

  • Hi, when can you download the new games? It says from Tuesday 5th May but guess what – 5th of May is now and farming simulator still costs money. What gives Sony? Thank you

  • Deception is the only word I’ve got for the games of May… This is a very good way to convince people to change platform…

  • Are those games really not going to change?

  • This is the first time I’ve ever wanted to hit a “Dislike” button on the blog (but it’s not an option). Please Sony, never offer two highly niche games on PS+ together like this ever again. This is absolutely horrible.

  • WOW, is this a joke?

  • TacotheBlackGuy

    This is by far the most disappointing month of free games since they first started this program. Usually Theres at least one game I’m willing to try but these are both just…..wack

  • N00bMaaster0069

    April Fools! Right? No? Oh…

  • WOW, the amount of entitled brats I see in this comments section is *through the roof*. These are free games, folks. FREE.
    And why not give one a shot? Both look pretty freakin’ sweet to my eyes. I used to play SimCity back in the day, this one looks like SimCity on LSD. And Farm Simulator? I’ve been wanting to start a farm for years now. This will give me pratice.

  • Honestly with the way Playstation has changed so much i’ve been thinking of switching over to xbox myself. First comes the shutdown of PS Home, that many…many people enjoyed. After it required playstation plus subscription with the new system (thanks to the hack that left many players without online interactions over 6 months) Then comes the tax system for most countries (which makes buying psn cards quite useless when ur trying to set a limit on a game you want to buy.) Now comes the crappy games that will probably last until the launch of the PS5. Not to mention, playstation is kinda lacking in the genre department. I mean anime games are out there, but not many of them lead to what some would expect. Its usually fighting (always) or shooting…nothing ordinary. But with these Simulator games like this…I’d say the Sims still top anything that’s not…THIS.

    • Sammy______Snake

      I’ve had both for quite a while and honestly xbox is so so so so much better, quality of life, features and services and they’re killing it with game pass and the constant offers.

      Download speed and not needing 2x the hard drive space just to download your updates alone is enough.

  • Como vocês são incompetentes e liberar 2(dois) jogos de bosta, desse jeito estão pedindo pra que nós usuários troquem de plataforma? Não assinarei mais esta merda🤬

  • Decepcionado com os lixos de jogos que vem ultimamente, inacreditável

  • These are the worst selection I have to see, you must change one, hear your clients, Im not the only dissapointed

  • Worst picks for this month

  • Why would you put both games up in the same month? this is really horrible i usually love the selections you give us playstation, even when i already own one or both of the games. Many times you have put a game i don’t like and one i never thought of trying so i at least grab one to play for a bit. but this is just freaking awful. Are you trying to jump on the hype of animal crossing? Terrible just terrible.

  • Sammy______Snake

    Are you trying to make us go outside Sony?
