Global PlayStation Store Update – May 20, 2025

Okay, so… every week, Sony throws a bunch of stuff at PlayStation players. It’s like a digital treasure chest or something. PS4, PS5, PSVR, plus all that PlayStation Plus jazz. Updates, ya know? I mean, every Tuesday, you get all this new stuff, and it’s kind of exciting. Sort of like a weekly digital Christmas. Maybe.

North American Update

May’s PlayStation Plus Essential Lineup

Alright, so here’s what’s on the menu this month. And yes, you can imagine a literal menu or something if that helps. We’ve got:

• Balatro (PS4/PS5)
• Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun (PS4/PS5)

PSVR Games
