Sony’s lineup for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers in May 2024 has been officially revealed, with all titles going live on May 21st. PS4 players can look forward to the likes of Red Dead Redemption 2 and Watch Dogs, but they’ll also have access to Cat Quest 1 and 2, The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame, The Settlers: New Allies, and The Sims 4 City Living.

PS5 players can play these through backwards compatibility, but in terms of exclusives, there’s Crime Boss: Rockay City and Deceive Inc. Meanwhile, both platforms can play sci-fi survival title Stranded: Alien Dawn. As for Classic games, available exclusively for Premium subscribers, there’s 2Xtreme, G-Police, and Worms Pinball.

Originally released for PC in February, Ubisoft Blue Byte’s The Settlers: New Allies is available now for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Amazon Luna. It retails for $59.99, while the Deluxe Edition is $79.99 and includes the Explorer Pack, the Royal Items Sets pack, a digital art book and soundtrack, and more. Check out the launch trailer below.

The console versions support cross-play and cross-progression with each other and PC, and you can invite players from Ubisoft Connect. The controls have been adapted to consoles, with “no loss of functionality compared to traditional controls.” Xbox One, PS4, and Luna players can expect the same content on PC, including a Campaign with 12 missions, Skirmish for PvE and PvP (also with 13 maps) and Hardcore Mode.

Nintendo Switch players are limited to 250 unites in 4v4 Skirmish and can’t reconnect to multiplayer matches when dropped. There’s also no visible connection between building after Residences connect, but there’s no effect on gameplay. Head here for more details about the environments, how Landmarks work and more.
