Sony has unveiled the PlayStation Plus (PS Plus) games for June, with a notable inclusion of an Xbox-owned title taking the spotlight. Subscribers across all tiers (Essential, Extra, Premium) can look forward to diving into the following games starting June 2nd:
June PS Plus Game Lineup
The lineup is headlined by Grounded Fully Yoked Edition, an Xbox and PC original that made its way to PlayStation in 2024 with enhanced content. Joining it are Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide (exclusive to PS5), and a temporary extension of EA Sports FC 26 until June 16th.
Grounded Fully Yoked Edition** (PS5, PS4) combines the whimsy of being shrunk, akin to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, with the spine-tingling terror of giant spiders, reminiscent of Eight-Legged Freaks. Originally launched on Xbox and PC, its PlayStation iteration, released in 2024, boasts new gear, quests, and formidable bosses. Vikki Blake praised the game in a review, noting, "A delightful mix of harsh survival and warm-hearted design."
A Deep Dive into the Headliners
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide** (PS5), released in 2022, offers a stark contrast with its dark, action-packed universe. Despite its many small issues, as highlighted by Chris Tapsell in a review, "stupendous atmosphere and vicious action just about prevails,"
making it a recommended title. This Xbox-owned game's inclusion as a headliner for PS Plus is a notable cross-platform move.
The diversity of the June lineup caters to a broad range of tastes, from the family-friendly fun of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 to the intense survival of Grounded and the grim darkness of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. EA Sports FC 26's extended availability until June 16th is a bonus for sports enthusiasts.
