Sony announced the three new titles that will join the PlayStation Plus Essential catalog from Tuesday, May 5th. Subscribers will be able to redeem EA Sports FC 26, Nine Sols and Wuchang: Fallen Feathers at no additional cost. The games will remain available until Tuesday, June 2, when they will be removed from the platform to make way for new monthly additions.

EA Sports FC 26 features two distinct game modes

EA Sports FC 26 comes to PlayStation Plus in versions for PS4 and PS5, bringing the Electronic Arts football experience with a revamped formula based on player feedback. The title divides its gameplay into two specific modes, each aimed at a different type of experience.

The Competitivo mode was developed for online matches, prioritizing increased speed, improved responsiveness and a focus on individual player skill. Já and Realista mode offers simulation close to real football, with slower pace, realistic physics and greater emphasis on team strategy and tactical characteristics of teams.

Nine Sols combines technical action with exploration Metroidvania

Nine Sols integrates the PlayStation Plus catalog for PS4 and PS5. The game is an Metroidvania-style action platformer set in a world that fuses Taoist mythology with Eastern science fiction. The player controls Yi, a warrior awakened after centuries of dormancy, who seeks revenge against the Nove Sóis, ancient rulers responsible for the downfall of his people.

The experience combines technical combat based on parrying blows, exploration on an interconnected map typical of the genre and visually striking hand-drawn aesthetics. The narrative follows a civilization in decline, trapped between mystical rituals, forbidden technology and ancient secrets that reveal truths about the world.
