PlayStation has announced the PS Plus games for June via the PlayStation Blog. These games are available to claim for every tier of online service subscribers, from the basic Essential tier, which allows online play, to Extra and Premium tiers that come with a library of free games. There are numerous great options in these online libraries, but unlike Xbox Game Pass, PS Plus rarely includes first-party PlayStation titles on the day of release. However, some great free games have been available as part of the monthly service recently. Game of the Year nominee Balatro from May is still available until June 1st, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard was available back in March.
June’s free PS Plus games include Destiny 2: The Final Shape and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
Starting June 3rd, PS Plus subscribers will have four new games available to claim. They will only be available until July 1st, so there’s plenty of time, but no consequences to claiming while you can. As usual, this month features two smaller titles, one major triple-A game, and an add-on to an existing live-service title as a bonus.
First, subscribers will be able to claim NBA 2K25, the annual basketball series published by 2K. The 2025 edition of the popular series was released in September 2024, with the 2K26 version planned for release in September as well. For fans of the series, they have probably been playing already or are already looking forward to 2K26. But for anyone who’s been interested but avoided making the full purchase so far, here’s your chance. While this game might be free, be wary of the microtransactions.
Similarly, for anyone who’s lapsed from playing a lot of Destiny 2 in the past, this month, PS Plus subscribers will gain access to the last major DLC, Destiny 2: The Final Shape. It may have “Final” in the title, but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of Bungie’s long-running live service title. Earlier this month, Bungie revealed a two-year roadmap for Destiny 2. This marks the beginning of a new DLC strategy, in which the game will receive two smaller annual updates instead of one large update. The Edge of Fate, the first of this year’s updates, launches in July, so now is a great time to get caught up on the story so far.
Next up is 2023’s Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, widely seen as a spiritual successor to the 2000 action game, Jet Set Radio. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is a futuristic 3D action platformer full of cyberpunk aesthetics, skateboarding, and spray paint. Battle other graffiti crews for control of the five boroughs of New Amsterdam.
Finally, the last game on June’s PS Plus free games is last year’s Alone in the Dark. You may remember this thanks to the notable celebrity cast, both David Harbour (Stranger Things, Thunderbolts) and Jodie Comer (Free Guy, Killing Eve) star in this remake of the 1992 survival horror game. While the reviews are not as positive as you might hope for, the free price tag can always help ease that hesitation. Even if you never play it, at least you didn’t pay for it.
