PlayStation has revealed the Game Catalog lineup for May which includes a number of great games, including the PS5 launch title Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and the criminally underrated Watch Dogs: Legion. The Game Catalog lineup will be available for download from May 16 and will be available to all Extra and Premium/Deluxe subscribers. In addition to the Game Catalog, Premium/Deluxe subscribers will also have access to the Classics Catalog, which sees new games this month such as Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, Pursuit Force, and more.
The Game Catalog also gets a Day 1 launch, Humanity. The game puts players in control of a Shiba Inu as they navigate a dystopia in command of a massive crow as they jump, turn, float, shoot, and climb their way to salvation.

The May lineup for the Classics and Game Catalog looks incredibly strong with a good combination of AAA blockbusters and indie gems. Highlights for this month include Watch Dogs: Legion, Humanity, and Lake.
While Watch Dogs: Legion didn't exactly set the world alight on launch, it was still one of Ubisoft's most creatively ambitious titles that attempted to buck the trend and break the mould in a big way. The result is a uniquely creative AAA affair that takes the best part of Watch Dogs' signature gameplay and meshes it with the silliness of the open-world "play as anyone" gimmick.
All these games will be available to download on May 16. To add these games to your library, simply head to the PlayStation Plus section on your PS4/PS5 and select the games you wish to add. Once in the library, players can begin the download immediately or save it for a later date. The games will remain in the players' library as long as they have an active PS Plus subscription.
