Cities: Skylines and Farming Simulator 19 are your PlayStation Plus games for May

Build the metropolis of your dreams or get to tilling the land as you embrace an agricultural lifestyle

Two very different lifestyles will compete for your time thanks to next month’s PS Plus lineup. Challenge yourself to design, then maintain, your ultimate metropolis in city-building strategy sim Cities: Skylines. Want a break from the city life? Take in the country air as you turn your hand to agriculture in Farming Simulator 19.

Let’s take a closer look at both games.

Do you have what it takes to develop a small, bustling community into a sprawling megacity? In this acclaimed city builder sim by Paradox Interactive, you make the decisions that will see your city flourish or fail. You’ll need strategic smarts to keep your burgeoning ecosystem from collapse, ensuring your ever-growing populace stay happy and the industries that are the lifeblood of your expanding metropolis continue to thrive.

Note: this is the base edition of the game.

Stressed by the bustling city life and eager to tackle a more sedate livelihood? Rural escapism awaits with Farming Simulator 19! Developer GIANTS Software has packed in a wealth of agricultural pastimes to lose yourself in as you set out to maintain a homestead. Harvest crops, raise livestock, tackle forest, ride your own horses…or just jump behind the wheel of your John Deere tractor or one of over 300 authentic farming vehicles and go for a drive.

Both titles will be available to download from Tuesday, 5th May until Monday, 1st June.

As a reminder, you’ve still got until Monday, 4th May to download this month’s PS Plus games. Quick wits, fast fists and inventive use of weaponry are essential to survive the danger-filled, globe-trotting journey of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, while nerves of steel and precision driving are essential to roar to championship glory in racing sim DIRT Rally 2.0.
