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.

  • What a disappointing offering. No interest in either at all.

  • BOTH of these games are on PS Now.

    What a great slap in the face for those of us who subscribe to it.

    Complete garbage.

    • Sammy______Snake

      Sony have gone from the moral platform, free gaming and proving that choice and taking the moral high ground

      To the absolute dirtbags. Merging two services that nobody wanted merged and massacring them both.

      They just don’t give a *** anymore. All about the $ and they aren’t even good at that, they’re going to lose all their customers

  • Playstation, por favor no saquen estos juegos de ps plus para abril por de primera son una mierda, es un insulto para nosotros (los jugadores que pagan ps plus) recibir estos juegos “de regalo” y peor nos viene para la cuarentena, lo hicieron muy bien con uncharter collection, otlast, etc. Pero en mi experiencia como jugador de playstation esta es la peor noticia de ps plus que e vivido.
    Pd: algunos juegos a publicar serían god of war, automata, etc.

  • Sony this is very disappointing.

  • This games are trash. How come after some many months with so many great games released, this is mays lineup?

  • Boooooooooooo

  • Yikes… I’ve loved the free PS+ games for a good while, and I’d remiss to look a gift horse in the mouth. However, this is just…lame…what terrible choices. Oh well, always next month.

  • I think people at Sony should sit down a bit and see the massacre they’ve been causing for quite some times now. As if everything is randomly generated from game release dates to monthly games in both services…

    The console war counters will reset back to zero in few months and using this kind of philosophy won’t grant you the same success.

  • trash for the past year the games has been trash I know the games are free but the subscription is $60 2sim games I am dissapointed in Sony don’t they are giving garbage away I will not be renewing PS plus it’s becoming not worth it and I don’t play online it’s not worth $60 PS plus is becoming low grade like ps now I hope Sony sees this cause I am disappointed I have been a Sony supporter for years but I’m not giving away $60 for crappy games and a bunch of discounts for more crappy games so if they don’t wanna lose customers they need the change at least one of these games SONY I AM DISSAPOINTED

    • Sammy______Snake

      honestly don’t know why anyone would have subbed for the last 2 years or so if you don’t play online.

      Especially when the cut the vita support and the extra games.. I would have killed my sub then as a statement

  • Well PSN dropped the ball this month. We wanted Dying Light not Farming Simulator. Lol

  • This has to be the worst ps+ line up yet! Terrible. I’m actually lost for words with these choices. Losing interest in playstation. Your gonna lose a lot of die hard fans soon too Xbox series x if you don’t watch it!

  • Seriously…these games are on PS NOW! And 2019?! It’s 2020!!!! New games please!!!!

  • Ps + games are so bad it not like a can go to work right now and earn money to buy something good like god of war 3 are some that’s a at lest half decent

  • I am done with ps4 I am going to sell this and buy and Xbox

  • Little late for April Fools.

  • Pretty underhanded to give out games that are already available on psnow.

  • I am never going to complain about free games but I won’t bother even downloading these two games 😢

  • The fake leak didn’t really bother me as I already had both DS and Dying Light, but man this months lineup really sucks. Releasing two games of the same genre is always going to be polarising. You will always annoy at least a small percentage of gamers who maybe don’t like shooters or sports games etc, but builder sits are a niche genre and I have to say neither of these two games excite me at all. I get that they released a few titles for the coronavirus lockdown, and that is a fantastic gesture, but this stings.

  • Wow, this
    This is horrible

  • These games only have little fanbase on console I would of rather had far cry primal or something as bad

  • -Did you see new ps plus games?
    Farming SIMULATOR and cities skylines.
    -but they are not game
    come on this joke is not funny
    -really! watering lettuce is realy enjoyable

  • Worst month ever!

  • Disappointing wow come on Sony try and look at a gamers point of view how can you play games like this with your friends and with a lockdown cov 19 give players a good mmorpg or something sorry Sony 100% not downloading or even adding to my library sorry Nope. Some players will like most will not a big 👎 from me

  • So i pay every month for a service, if you are going to give us two games a month, can you please not give us the worst freaking game in your library? I would pay more every month to be sure you guys don’t scam us with garbage. I thought xbox games of this months were crap, lucky me i have a ps4 eh?

    • Sammy______Snake

      you’d pay more?

      I’m at breaking point already.. It’s already incredibly overpriced.

  • I thought April Fools was at the start of the month

  • you hit a new low on ps plus games i hope they change like the month we got detroit become human instead of pes19

  • i don’t have FS19, so I’m happy with this month.

  • Sony really needs to make sure the games offered with PS Plus aren’t already available on PS Now. At least, not the stuff that seems destined to be on the service forever.

  • Wow so glad I just forked over the cash for a yearly subscription. If these are the games I think we all deserve a free month

  • Playstation games are “good” to pass the time but they are not games to come on Playstation Plus! had leaked that it would be Dark soul and Dying Light and that made us very happy but with these two games being one of farm and the other of city building it seems that it is a joke of April 1 because we had expectations and they were broken now, please rethink the games and show us that this subscription is worth paying for!

  • What a spit in the face to anyone who owns ps now

  • Interesting month. Makes a change to try something completely different to what I’d usually play. Theres been way too much complaining about the Plus offerings this past year (as there is every year), even though they have had a bunch of good quality titles – especially when you consider most people are buying a yearly plus for $40/$45 on black friday. They give us Bioshock – people moan, they give us action games like Uncharted Collection and Uncharted 4 etc – people moan. They give sports titles – people moan. They give simulators – people moan. Oh well, ya please everyone I guess.

  • Hahaha good april fools day prank….WAIT today is not april fools day. Please give me dark souls

  • Today is not april fools day. Please learn the date. Umm is not a april fools prank? Okey, a really bad games. Give me dark souls remastered

  • Just terrible

  • Can we go with the rumour instead as everyone was way more excited and on board

  • I’d much rather have nothing….wtf were they thinking.

  • I have to wonder what the thinking is about releasing to Sim games at the same time. Maybe Sony would like to comment on how they are approaching these decisions to allow some transparency with its community.

  • Sony..sony..sony…why must you torture us so with lame games…

  • If ps ploos games are also in psnow, sony should stop ‘giving’ games and cut the price for like 15dls for online play only.

    • Sammy______Snake

      more like, cut the price to $15… or better yet. Free liked it used to be.. they would have so few plus subs overnight :’)

  • I really like Cities: Skylines and Farming Simulator is a good way to pass the time because it’s so detailed. My nephew likes to turn it on and just drive around. I get that these games have a small audience but it’s nice to see something different every once in a while. I’m not into sci-fi/fantasy type stuff so getting sims, racing games and sports games is fine by me.

  • umm what….why double down on sims if someone is not into one they will most likely not be in to the other such a sill decision.

  • Well, they can’t all be winners. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • Little late on the “April Fool’s” joke, guys…
    I mean Cahhh’mon!!! This is the worst sack of poop you’ve ever tried to serve as Ice Cream. 😓

  • Great joke guys!

  • HAHAHA PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS AN APRIL’S FOOL JOKE !!

  • The person who decided that these two games should be may’s ps plus free games needs to be fired

  • Normally I say “Meh, not for me but good for others”, but this time, it’s a major BRUH moment, Come on Sony, THIS is what you’re offering to keep people entertained, especially during this Virus crap?, You can do far better than this, More and more you make me regret giving you PS+ money, I’ll be going back to Animal Crossing and awaiting Project Diva Megamix’s release, THOSE will keep me entertained for May, Let’s se if you do better come June, I doubt it.

  • I am usually not one to complain about the PS+ selections, but this is one of the dumbest lineups in a long time. I mean, one of them technically isn’t even a game… Two building/management simulators. Wow, that’s a very narrow demographic that’s gonna cover. Both games that would be better on PC too. Who the heck thought this was a good idea during the coronavirus, when people are desperately bored and need something… SOMETHING. Or maybe that’s the logic, this is the ONLY time these games would be able to work; when people are so bored out of their minds that they have no choice but to actually sink some time into freaking Farming Simulator…

    • Sammy______Snake

      implying the average person doesn’t have a much more interesting backlog than these two titles. And like you say, if it’s a city builder game or rts.. I’m going to play it on my PC

  • So… Let me get this straight. PSPlus price went up from 50 to 60 usd, they removed the other platform games and they give us these two AWFUL games that a rough 1% of the gamers like.
    Its like they are giving us the finger haha.
    And don’t start with that nonsense that these games are free THEY ARE NOT FREE! Its a PAID service. Do you know anyone that pays for Netflix say: oh look at this month’s new free movies and shows we got…. OMFG SONY WTF???? WTFFFFF?????

    • Well put, these are certainly not FREE. The actual free games for the stay at home initiative are much better then these sim games which a handful of people will be interested in.

      Please whoever is in-charge, change one game i.e. “Farming Simulator” with a game that customers actually want to play.
