FIFA 22 ‘is FREE for PS5 players in May’ – but there’s a catch

FIFA 22 could be coming to PS Plus as a freebie next month.

The hit footie game is rumored to be the headline title for May 2022.

PS Plus is a monthly subscription service for PS5 and PS4 players.

You get free games to play every month as well as a host of other benefits.

Now French gaming site deal abs claims to have unveiled the lineup of free titles for April.

It reportedly includes Fifa 22, Tribes of Midgard, and Curse of the Dead Gods.

The website was very accurate when it came to PS Plus leaks.

Unfortunately, it’s impossible to say for sure if this leak is accurate.

We won’t find out for sure until late April or early May when we expect the new PS Plus roster to be announced.

And the other catch is that you have to be a PS Plus member to take advantage of the freebie.

Fifa 22 would be a huge win for PS Plus subscribers.

And the two indie games along with him would only sweeten the deal.

New PS Plus system revealed

Whatever the case, everything changes for PS Plus players.

Sony is expected to completely change how the PS Plus system works later this year.

The service will be enhanced and merged with game streaming app PlayStation Now on June 1st in the US and June 22nd in Europe.

Sony says there will be more than 700 games on the platform, offering “more value than ever”.

There are three different PlayStation membership plans to choose from.

These include PS Plus Essential, Extra and Premium.

Essential costs $9.99/£6.99 per month and is similar to the current membership.

That means you get two monthly downloadable games, exclusive discounts, cloud storage to save, and access to online multiplayer.

Extra costs $14.99/£10.99 per month and adds a catalog of up to 400 popular PS4 and PS5 games.

Then there’s Premium, which costs $17.99/£13.49 per month.

That adds another 340 games to the list, including PS3 games (via cloud streaming) and a backlog of classic PlayStation, PS2, and PSP titles.

You also get cloud streaming access for original PlayStation games in the Extra and Premium tiers.

Finally, you get time-limited trials to try out titles before actually paying for them.

“The newly enhanced PlayStation Plus will allow our fans to discover and engage with more content than ever before,” said Sony President and CEO.

“And deepen their connection with the PlayStation community through shared experiences.”
