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.

  • I’ve been curious about how Cities Skylines would play on a console, so I’m looking forward to giving it a shot since I enjoyed playing it on PC. I’m also interested in giving Farming Simulator a shot since I probably wouldn’t have ever bought it on its own. Sometimes it’s nice to get free PS+ games that wouldn’t have gotten my attention otherwise.

  • No way. Do we have to go through this again? Terrible month.

  • this is a joke right ?

  • Well…..this is definitely a chance of pace, but it’s cool. Different, but cool 🤷🏾‍♂️

  • disappointing

  • these games are so bad, why are these games even a game?

  • What?!?

  • Another set of games that make me regret extending my ps+ subscription
    Shame on you Sony 👎

  • Once again, both games are already on playstation now. I cant remember the last time i was excited about a ps+ game, just constant disappointment from sony…

  • Worst PS+ lineup ever.

    Two building Sims?

  • This lineup of games sucks. I heard rumors that Dark Souls Remastered was gonna be one of the free games and I was hoping that it was gonna be that. However instead they give us trash for game. None of these games are even the slight bit interesting or fun.

  • PSN is disappointing us more and more, the platform games are much more expensive than PC games, we pay for psn plus and Unchaterd 4 comes (which certainly 90% of the players have played or had) and at play at home they give uncharted collection that we won 2 months ago (a great game but repeated) and now these 2 ridiculous games with the same style.
    I love having my ps4 but unfortunately we are not getting enough value from being fans of the platform. Change these games For the love……

  • Pero que mierdas de juegos enserio? Dos simuladores? Enserio? Se pasaron, creo que llevo 2 años de suscripción y nunca vi una seleccion mas horrible en ps plus, lo siento pero es verdad

    • Translation: what kind of **** games ate these? Two simulators? They crossed the line. I think i have 2 years as a psplus subscriber and I have never seen such a terrible selection. Im sorry but it’s true.

  • I believe these games are too similar and one of them should be switched out for dark souls remastered

  • I think its a bad idea, change at least one

  • Come on Sony, this has got to be the worst PS+ selection ever. You still have a week to go, you can make changes to the awful AWFUL selection for this month.

  • I don’t think that this is an offering that most gamers will be excited about. No story to experience, or excitement to be had. Just two games to grind at until June. I truly think Sony could have done better. It didn’t need to be as good as the fake leak, but it should certainly be better than this

  • For the first time I am disappointed with the games for the month. Many times the games are ones I already have and I understand that. this time they are two games I don’t care for. Well maybe next month and the months to come will be games I would like to play.

  • Dear Sony
    I’ve always been a Sony fanboy and I have never doubted you for a second but after seeing next months line up of PlayStation plus games I feel deceived and cheated on,have you even seen the comments on the YouTube videos covering the next ps plus games they legit are making jokes about the PES switch for Detroit and how’d they prefer one of these games be switched for PES because the line up for next month feels like a joke…a bloody April fools joke..please fix this..I don’t have anything to play for next month and I’m seriously doubting if I should ever buy PlayStation plus ever again because of May’s lineup..so please please I beg of you change the games and fix this whole mess since I know thousands of people feel the same way as me and they don’t want to feel like they are getting let down by a service that they pay for monthly or even yearly. I know you guys while fix the lineup and not disappoint us anymore and I’ll keep my faith in you.

  • With everyone at home on lockdown atm and we are getting 2 games that are practically the same type of sim. Rubbish to say the least. I don’t like these type of games but, if it was only 1 this months fair enough, but both. Not happy

  • oh wow great /s

    • What a massive letdown. With so many people worried about their mental health during a global crisis, stressing over two similar and generally unwelcome games is perhaps (let’s be honest) the last thing broke gamers need from the gaming company they have chosen to support. This looks like a big FU to your customers, Sony. Please note and make amends.

  • Just because we have to stay inside doesn’t mean we should be forced to play AWFUL games. These games #aretrash

  • Can we please try the get one free game, vote from three other games to be free and discount the losers?

    I really prefered that, more varity and even if what I was interested wasnt free I got a discount.

  • No, no, nooooooo!!!
    Take it back!

  • Wow what a bunch of whiny ****. I for one am a sim fanatic. Already own fs19. I’ll enjoy both of them.

  • This game is for people who have a very particular fondness for farms, it is like truck simulator or train simulation, it is for very very particular audiences, but again, being very particular audiences, they may already have bought them.
    they have to think about more general games, within any genre.

    • added to that, they really are not the best options to play with a joystick, you can, but they are not the ones that really highlight the experience.

  • Too bad I already tried these games on PS Now. Not my cup of tea but seems these games are for a niche group of players.

  • This IS GARBAGE!!! I glad I didn’t renew my + membership for this GARBAGE!!

  • added to that, they really are not the best options to play with a joystick, you can, but they are not the ones that really highlight the experience.

  • naah

  • What kind of a psycho enjoys these sim games ?

  • Aaww.. I knew the leaks were too good to be true. Had a good run, gotta get to the bad (least picked up) games at least.

  • These both seem like mouse-optimized games rather than gamepad games. Rather play these on a PC.

  • 2 games and they’re both simulators?! Utterly terrible lineup.

  • It’s not really fair for PS Now subscribers that they don’t get any games this month on PS Plus. I vote for PlayStation fans to complain and make a petition to have these titles changed. They have already done it once, they can do it again.

  • Personally I feel that Sony should reconsider atleast Farming simulator. There are other good alternatives…I would love to see something that maybe hasn’t been out for very long. Regardless whatever Sony decides we’ll have to just sit with it. Which sucks

  • It’s been a nice run…
    Can they just add Vita games again?
    Gimme Vita deals por favor

  • I’m just here to read the angry/whining/upset comments lol

  • So sad right now. I was so excited about the new lineup of PS+ games for May, and then I see what we are getting and now all I can feel is I want June to come so that I can have hope again. These games are SO horrible. AVGN should do a video on them. They are Action 52 quality bad. Please have mercy on all of us and replace one or both with a game(s) that can help all of us in these trying times.

  • This is only my 3rd month of PS+ (and PS4 ownership), so it’s a disappointing month.

    So far:
    Shadow of the Colossus (played a little, just starting to get the hang of)
    Sonic (haven’t played it yet)
    Uncharted 4 (excellent game)
    Dirt Rally (haven’t played it yet)
    And now two sims in one month.

    I don’t expect to like or play all the free games, but I’m disappointed that it’s two of this genre in one month. But, God of War, Last of Us, and Horizon Zero Dawn were bundled with my PS4 and I got the Uncharted collection that they gave a way for free a few weeks ago for “Stay at Home”, so I’ve still got a good backlog of games without having had to spend a lot of extra money.

  • seriously, sony this is definitely going to be the worst month for ps plus ever made 😕

  • They could have at least given out that power rangers fighting game. I bought it and it’s not bad. Plus the online would be more full and the developers would make money off the dlc. Which is almost mandatory

  • haven’t been this disappointed in the ps+ game choices in a LOOOONG time. “hey everyone, we know you’re all stuck at home and bored and looking for something to do.. HERE’S FARMING SIMULATOR!”….

  • Definitely disappointing. Would’ve preferred the leaked games. These might be the first ones I don’t even both to add to my library. OTOH, at least Pistol Whip was announced for PSVR this summer, so some good news this week.

  • Wow 1st time in a very long time since i could say and really mean,,,,
    Id rather have my 12 bucks , thanks for the great reminder of outside in our current situation 👍👍

  • Wow! What a terrible lineup. Let’s hope they add a surprise title to lineup sometime next month.

  • Would have liked to see something of higher quality or variety due to the worlds current circumstances.

  • This is probably the worst lineup ever….. unbelievable.

  • It would be cool if they offered a choice, announcing 4 free games at the end of a month , give us a week to vote , then release the 2 most popular games ,,, safe to say there’s not many games they could offer along side these to that would change the outcome of both of these left behind

  • I seriously just took the time out of my day to log In to say this line up is trash,Ii rather play fallout 76, which actually got better…
