The May 2024 PS Plus Extra releases will hurt with the removal of many excellent games. Among them, the departure of a huge PS4 & PS5 exclusion raises many questions. A big surprise coming?
The selection of new PS Plus Essential games for May 2024 has been rarely seen. Starting next Wednesday, May 7, Sony will offer its subscribers Destiny 2 Eclipse, Tunic, Ghostrunner and EA Sports FC 24. On the other hand, we can expect dozens of releases for PlayStation Plus Extra. These have already been announced, but there is an unexpected piece of news on the subject that is giving rise to significant speculation. Has Sony Interactive Entertainment inadvertently confirmed one of its secret projects?
An unexpected release of PS Plus Extra from May 2024
The May 2024 PS Plus Extra releases are carnage. As of May 21, 25 games are leaving the service. This includes independent titles, some of which are greatly appreciated, but also the cult RPG Final Fantasy license. By the end of the month, seven episodes of the franchise will be removed. The announcement was made officially recently, but Sony Interactive Entertainment decided that it was to withdraw a twenty-sixth software. The exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition, which includes the base game and the Frozen Wilds DLC, will soon no longer be available in PS Plus Extra. Here’s what we can read on the PS Store page.
« Subscribe to PlayStation Plus Extra to access this game [Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition] and hundreds of others from the games catalog. End of offer: 05/21/2024 ». A strange departure? For some, yes, and a theory is emerging. Some Internet users see confirmation of the rumor of the PS5 remake of Horizon Zero Dawn in this removal of the PS Plus Extra.
Horizon Zero Dawn Remake soon announced on PS5?
This hallway noise is blurry, but Horizon Zero Dawn Remake could have an improved lighting system, textures, animations and draw distance. And since we are on PlayStation 5, DualSense would be taken into account to offer greater immersion.
The gameplay would also be reworked to be closer to Horizon Forbidden West, and accessibility would be much more pronounced with a host of options for disabled players. A credible rumor? It’s been a long time since we heard about it, but with the upcoming Netflix series Horizon 2074, it could make sense. We remind you that this is what happened with The Last of Us Part 1. While waiting to see things more clearly, know that Horizon Zero Dawn is living its last days on the PS Plus Extra. So you don’t have much time left to discover Aloy’s adventure.
