Top PlayStation Plus Games for June 2025

On June whatever-it-was, 2022, Sony dropped the "new and improved" PlayStation Plus in North America, splitting it into three tiers. It’s a mash-up of the old PS Plus with PS Now. How they divvied it up? Pretty simple. You pick a tier, and based on that, you get access to some games and services.

Okay, let’s break it down:

• PlayStation Plus Essential ($9.99/month): It’s basically the same as the old PS Plus. You get online access, monthly free games, and discounts. Like, nothing to write home about, but it does the job.

• PlayStation Plus Extra ($14.99/month): You get everything from Essential, plus a truckload of PS4 and PS5 games. Cooler, but you’re shelling out a little more cash.

• PlayStation Plus Premium ($17.99/month): This tops it off with classics from PS1, PS2, PSP, and PS3, trials, and cloud streaming, but only in some places. Sounds fancy, but whatever works for you.

Now, PS Plus Premium lets you dive into over 700 games. It’s like a history lesson in PlayStation form, but man, the app could use some work—it’s kind of a headache to navigate. Each month, you get fresh meat. Generally, PS5 and PS4 stuff, but occasionally a vintage gem. Before you throw your money at it, let’s hit some highlights.

Updated in June 2025 by Mark Sammut (thanks, dude). What’s new in PS Plus Extra and Premium? The games this time are a wild mix. Not exactly selling points, but hey, variety’s nice. There’s even a game fresh out of the box—a multiplayer shooter. Give “FBC: Firebreak” a whirl if co-op stuff is your jam.

Monster Hunter Rise? Yeah, that’s history, not available anymore. Moving on.

FBC: Firebreak

So, "FBC: Firebreak," we aren’t sure yet if it’s legendary material, time’ll tell. But really, if there’s ever a time to try it, it’s now. Remedy’s Control spin-off, folks. Dropped on both PS Plus Extra/Premium and Game Pass. Plus, it’s packing crossplay, so you’re likely to find people playing it. Go shoot stuff.

Yeah, you could technically play it solo, but why would you? It screams 3-player online co-op. It’s this extraction shooter—think “Deep Rock Galactic,” but more like your usual FPS. Kits, weapons, objectives, the lot.

God Of War Ragnarok

This bad boy follows the 2018 God of War saga. Wraps up the Norse theme—at least, I think so? Ragnarok looms, realms are on the brink, Kratos is trying to stop it while also beefing with Odin. Meanwhile, Mr. All-Father is courting Atreus. Sticky.

Fights are crunchy and familiar if you played the last one, but they’ve thrown in some new tricks. It’s long, ambitious, and blends intimate character vibes with grand epicness. There’s Valhalla, an extra mode that’s all kinds of fun.

The Last Of Us Part 1

Naughty Dog nailed it with The Last of Us. Closed the PS3 era strong, inspiring sequels and a TV show even. The original isn’t on PS Plus Premium, but there’s a fine PS4 remaster. PS5 folks can jump into the Part 1 remake from 2022. If you’ve seen the story before, it’s mostly the same, but newbies? Dive right in.

Joel and Ellie trek across a post-apocalyptic USA, aiming to cure something with Ellie’s immunity to this nasty fungus. It’s stealthy, brutal, and not easy. But the tale and personalities? Top-tier PlayStation.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

A real milestone for RPGs, redefining storytelling, the works. Even though it’s been a decade (ouch), this game’s influence is everywhere. For many, it’s old news, but for those newbies on PS Plus, now’s the chance.

It’s a sprawling RPG world with characters you’ll care about, quests, and a quirky combat system. If you haven’t walked Geralt’s path, grab this.

Cult Of The Lamb

The cutest cult sim you’ll ever see! This one’s a dark roguelite where a Lamb (yeah, seriously) sets up a god’s return. Bishops to beat, followers to gather, sacrifices… you know, cult stuff.

Roguelites strike a balance between endless replay and narrative, and this game nails it. You’ll hack through dungeons and run a cult-town with quirky followers. Dark, hilarious, and solid gameplay.

TimeSplitters 2 And Future Perfect

These are PS2 classics now on PS4 and PS5. They show their age but are the best of old-school console FPS games. TimeSplitters 2? Pure gunplay excellence. Story is thin, basically levels you beat. Co-op available, too.

Future Perfect spins a more cohesive tale—a blockbuster feel, less intense gunplay than its predecessor, but still good fun.

The original TimeSplitters? Fun, but the sequels steal the spotlight.

Bloodborne

Love Gothic vibes and aggressive slasher combat? Bloodborne delivers. FromSoftware crafted a masterpiece, challenging yet rewarding. A feast for the senses, but not easy—stick with it.

It’s glitchy here and there, but honestly, the grim world and adrenaline-pumping fights are worth it.

Celeste

A side-scroller with soul-crushing difficulty and a deep narrative. Madeline scales Celeste mountain, facing impossible odds and foes. Not just a climb, it’s an emotional self-discovery trek.

The story hits hard, while gameplay demands precision. The music? Brilliant.

Dave The Diver

Okay, odd one out. Dave the Diver—since 2023—landed on PlayStation in 2024. Worth the wait? Heck yes. It’s this cool blend of restaurant management and fishing. Uniquely familiar. Dave’s got fish to catch by day for his sushi biz at night.

Fishing is key, though nights managing the restaurant are awesome too. A quirky venture, fun through and through.

Chivalry 2

Think epic medieval battles on grand scales. More approachable than its deeper sibling Mordhau. Quick to learn, focused on fun and chaos. If sprawling medieval warfare excites you, give it a swing.

All right. That’s about it. Dive into whichever sounds intriguing and watch your backlog grow.
