A big sports game signed Electronic Artsusually billed for nearly €80, is currently playable at no extra cost on PS5 for millions of subscribers PlayStation Plus. But this window is extremely limited: in a few days, the title will disappear from the Extra and Premium catalog and return to full price.
In April 2026, EA Sports PGA Tour lives its last hours on the service before its withdrawal on April 21. The golf game, launched in 2023 on PS5, PC and Xbox, joined PS Plus Extra in April 2025. It remains to be seen who can really benefit from it, how to quickly add it to their library, and above all if it is worth your playing time.
EA Sports PGA Tour free on PS5: what is this €79.99 game offered in April?
EA Sports PGA Tour is the latest golf simulation from EA Tiburonbilled as the “home of the Majors”. Concretely, the game aligns the major official tournaments (Masters, PGA Championship, US Open, etc.) and around thirty courses modeled with the Frostbite engine, with a very simulation approach rather than arcade.
On the PlayStation Store French, the title is sold for €79.99, while it costs $70 (around €65) in North America. In the meantime, Sony has included it in the catalog PS Plus Extra And Premiumwhich makes it “free” for subscribers, as long as it remains in the service. On the critical side, the game is around 72 to 76 on Metacritica decent score for a sports game. On the other hand, the user rating on the PS Store is more severe, around 2.96 out of 5 after more than 4,500 reviews, as noted by ComicBook.com.
This gap is partly explained by the PlayStation Plus effect: when a game becomes easily accessible, many curious people who are not the target audience test it and rate it, which pulls the average down.
How to enjoy EA Sports PGA Tour with your PS Plus subscription?
Important detail: EA Sports PGA Tour only exists on PS5 PlayStation side. No porting PS4 is not offered on the Store. To access it, you must be a subscriber PS Plus Extra Or Premium. The Essential tier is not affected by the current offer, even if the game has already been offered for one month to Essential subscribers in the past.
On PS5, the procedure is quick: open the PlayStation Plus tab, go to “Games catalog”, then to the “Last chance to play” section. EA Sports PGA Tour appears among the titles on departure. Add it to your library and start downloading. Premium subscribers can also use cloud gaming to avoid saturating the SSD.
For players exclusively on PS4bad news: you cannot directly install the game on your console. On the other hand, if a PS5 exists in the home, it remains possible to play on TV or Remote Play. As for April content, the PS4 is not abandoned, with other multi-gen titles offered in the month’s offers.
How long will EA Sports PGA Tour be playable for free, and should you get started?
EA Sports PGA Tour will leave the PS Plus Extra and Premium catalogs on April 21, 2026. From this date, even if you have already downloaded it, you will no longer be able to play it via subscription: you will have to purchase it at full price on the PlayStation Store to continue your games.
If you like golf or advanced sports simulations, this is clearly an opportunity to seize: a few evenings are enough to test the career mode, tame the swing and decide whether or not the game deserves the €79.99. For players with little interest in sports games, the priority will undoubtedly remain the other big titles of the month on PS Plus, but as long as the EA game is included in your package, even just an 18-hole trial seems difficult to regret.
