EA Sports FC 26, released in September 2025, is the latest entry in the former FIFA franchise. It features familiar modes such as Ultimate Team and a refreshed Rivals and Champs experience. Players can also claim the new EA Sports FC 26 PlayStation Plus Icons Pack throughout May, adding exclusive content for subscribers.
In IGN's review, which scored the game a 7/10, they noted that while the “on-pitch gameplay is the best it's been in a long time, its overly aggressive Season Pass is also EA at its most money-hungry yet.” This highlights the mixed reception surrounding the title, particularly concerning its monetization practices.
For fans of the Souls genre, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers offers a unique experience. Set in China's Ming Dynasty, players take on the role of pirate warrior Wuchang as they explore a world plagued by monstrous mutations. IGN described it as featuring excellent combat, wonderful level design, and an incredible skill tree, earning it an 8/10 score despite some difficulty spikes.
Finally, Nine Sols rounds out the lineup as a hand-drawn 2D action-platformer inspired by Sekiro's combat mechanics. Released in 2024, it has received positive reviews and adds to the variety of titles available this month.
As a reminder, players have until May 4 to add April's selection, which includes Lords of the Fallen, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, and Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream, to their game library.
