PlayStation Plus Games for May: Ark, Balatro, and Warhammer 40,000

Get ready for three exciting games from PlayStation Plus’ monthly lineup. Starting May 6, members can download Ark: Survival Ascended, a survival sim with taming dinosaurs and building, as well as Balatro, a poker-inspired roguelike deck builder. Completing the trio is Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, a frenetic FPS game set in the Warhammer universe.

In Ark: Survival Ascended, players can explore, craft, and build their way to survival on an island paradise, with high-end graphics and advanced physics systems. The game also features public online multiplayer for up to 70 players, private-session multiplayer for up to 8 players, and local split-screen for 2 players.

Balatro is a roguelike deck builder that challenges players to create powerful synergies and win big in poker-inspired gameplay. With unique joker cards and varied builds, players must earn enough chips to beat devious blinds and uncover hidden bonus hands.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun takes inspiration from classic retro shooters, delivering fast-paced action with the stylish visuals of Warhammer 40,000. Players take on the role of a battle-hardened Space Marine, battling against Chaos forces across the galaxy.

All three games will be available until June 2, giving members ample time to enjoy these exciting titles. Additionally, PlayStation Plus members have until May 5 to download April’s lineup: RoboCop: Rogue City, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory.
