3 new PS Plus games to play this Memorial Day weekend (May 24-27) | Digital Trends

As Memorial Day approaches, I'm sure you're curious about which games to play on your PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 over the long weekend. Well, you're in luck! A fresh batch of games has been added to the PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra game catalog, and let me tell you, they are definitely worth your time. I want to highlight three games in particular that I think you should download right away and give a try during the holiday.

First up is the iconic Western game from Rockstar Games, Red Dead Redemption 2. If you haven't experienced this masterpiece yet, now is the perfect time. It's a must-play with its immersive open-world and captivating storyline. Although there isn't a PS5 update for it like Grand Theft Auto V, the game still looks fantastic. Get ready to dive into the final years of the Wild West and witness the downfall of a group of outlaws. You can play it offline as Arthur Morgan or team up with friends in Red Dead Online. If you haven't already played Red Dead Redemption 2, you have no excuse now!

Next, we have Watch Dogs. This game kick-started an amazing series from Ubisoft and celebrates its 10th anniversary next week. Set in Chicago, it may not be geographically accurate, but it captures the city's vibe perfectly. This game introduced the cool concept of hacking open-world elements and delving into the data of non-playable characters. It's time to revisit where it all began and appreciate the roots of this beloved game series.

Lastly, we have 2Xtreme, a blast from the past. This PlayStation 1 game oozes '90s nostalgia and brings back memories of simpler times. With a mix of sports and racing, including biking, snowboarding, skateboarding, and rollerblading, it's a fun and quirky experience. While it may not hold up to modern standards, there's something charming about its simplicity and unique visuals. It's great to see old classics like 2Xtreme finding new life on modern platforms.

So, whether it's the Wild West, hacking in Chicago, or a throwback to the '90s, these games are sure to keep you entertained during the holiday weekend. Don't miss out on the opportunity to play them for free with your PlayStation Plus subscription.

Enjoy your gaming sessions and have a fantastic Memorial Day weekend!
