Its the end of April so PS4 gamers on PlayStation Plus will be looking to see which games will be made available to them for free in May. Sony has just released the complete list of May’s PS Plus games. PS4 owners can look forward to downloading and playing Switch Galaxy Ultra, Tropico 5 and Table Top Racing: World Tour  free of charge from the 3rd of May.

If you haven’t played any of the three games mentioned above, now is as good a time as any, they are free after all! Find out more about them below:

Tropico 5

Tropico is is a city-builder and political simulator where players in the game will become the notorious and bearded protagonist, El Presidente.

In the critically acclaimed city builder sim from Kalypso Media, players will be tasked with taking charge of running Tropico, a banana republic situated in the Caribbean. The storyline will start off as you slowly build your city and transform it from a small village into a thriving city. With no limits to what type of establishment or building type you can choose, the fate of Tropico will be entirely in your hands!

But with great power comes great responsibility, and players will also have to ensure they pay attention to food production as well as the republic’s thriving Llama industry. In the midst of all the fun though, players will also have to keep a wary eye on the political scene.

As a leader there will be no shortage of those who will be unhappy at how you run the country, from the general public to environmental activists and business barons.

Switch Galaxy Ultra

Switch Galaxy Ultra is the stylish arcade-style racer from indie developers Atomicom. The game is one of the fastest reaction racers available on PS4 and has come a long way from its origins as small title on Android.
