The two other PS4 free games for PlayStation Plus members included in the May 2016 list are Table Top Racing: World Tour and Switch Galaxy Ultra.

Commenting on the game’s PS4 launch, Nick Burcombe, Playrise Digital CEO and Game Director of Table Top Racing said, “We’re delighted to finally release Table Top Racing: World Tour on PlayStation 4, it’s been an amazing adventure to get to this launch!” As posted on the official PlayRise Digital website, he added:
“We can’t wait to see what the players will think of our brand new game, it’s free for PS+ subscribers for one month, so we’re really looking forward to getting feedback and no doubt seeing some seriously competitive online racing when the game hits next week!”
On the other hand, the latter, Switch Ultra Galaxy, is a cross-buy title, which means gamers will also get the PS Vita version of the game. The “hyperkinetic arcade racer” was developed by Atomicom Limited, according to Gamespot, and it takes the players “on a top-speed adventure with the potential to be a welcome retro throwback.” The game offers high-quality audio and stunning visuals, according to Metacritic.
