PlayStation Plus members can’t miss a free game made available in May, described by other players as an “emotional rollercoaster,” and they’re right. It’s been a busy month for Sony’s subscription service. The company has announced a major price increase for PS Plus moving forward, though the service is receiving a few remarkable games for free in the catalog, some of which are unmissable. In June, for instance, members are getting Grounded Fully Yoked Edition as part of the Essential freebies.
Before moving on to the next month, however, it’s imperative that you check out one of the games added to the Extra and Premium catalog, at least according to other subscribers. The user Fickle_Acanthaceae17 on Reddit made a post recommending that other members of the service check out one of the latest additions to the catalog in May, calling it an “emotional rollercoaster.” They also say that it’s “one of the best games I’ve played for free in a long time.”
The game in question is called Bramble: The Mountain King, and it’s one of the big additions to PS Plus in May 2026. The user who made the post also says that it tackles “deep and dark subjects” and that it is “very good.” They aren’t the only ones who have a similar opinion on the matter. User Effloresce mentioned they enjoyed the game, highlighting that it mixes “the art style of Unravel with the gameplay of Little Nightmares.”
The availability of Bramble: The Mountain King on PS Plus has hooked players. User PurplMaster says it’s an “incredible game” and that “I played it on Game Pass a couple years ago, but plan to double dip, it was really great.” The game has been praised by PS Plus members, but it does have a remarkable reputation. On Steam, Bramble has a 94% approval rate, giving it a Very Positive status on the platform.
May is proving to be one of the best months for the service this year. In addition to the aforementioned Bramble: The Mountain King, PS Plus got one of the best games of the decade, Red Dead Redemption 2. The service also saw the addition of Star Wars Outlaws in the Extra and Premium catalog.
There are tons of exciting games to check out in the catalog, in spite of the price hike, and Bramble: The Mountain King is one that you can’t miss. Of course, if its darker themes and vibe don’t appeal to you, there are still several other games that you can play for free on PlayStation Plus.
