FIFA 22 ‘to be 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 smash-hit footie game is rumoured to be the headline title for May 2022.

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

It gets you free games to play each month, plus a host of other benefits.

Now French gaming site claims to have revealed the free title line-up for April.

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

The website has been highly accurate when it comes to PS Plus leaks.

Sadly, it’s impossible to say for sure whether this leak is accurate.

We won’t find out for sure until the very end of April or the beginning of May, when we’d expect the new PS Plus roster to be announced.

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

Fifa 22 would be an enormous win for PS Plus subscribers.

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

New PS Plus system revealed

Whatever the case, it’s all change for PS Plus players.

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

The service will be tweaked – as well as merged with game-streaming app PlayStation Now – on June 1 in the US and June 22 in Europe.

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

There will be three different PlayStation membership plans to choose from.

This includes PS Plus Essential, Extra and Premium.

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

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

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

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

This adds an additional 340 games to the roster, 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 game trials to check out titles before you actually pay for them.

“The newly enhanced PlayStation Plus will enable 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.”
