On June 13, 2022, Sony did the thing with PlayStation Plus—this overhaul—or maybe it was a fusion, like when you mix two random slushie flavors. Anyway, it split into three tiers, now with extra goodies wrapped inside. It’s kinda like Netflix for gamers, sort of? You’ve got this Essential tier at $9.99/month doing its old PS Plus thing… online play, freebie games every month, you know. Discounts too because, well, who doesn’t love a sale?
Jump up to the Extra tier for $14.99/month, and you’re swimming in hundreds of PS4 and PS5 games. A game buffet, if you will. But wait, there’s more! The Premium tier at $17.99/month throws nostalgia at you with classic games from yesteryears. Ever miss those PS2 days? They’re back, like a bad 90s fashion trend. Oh, and there’s cloud stuff, at least in some places. Fancy.
Now, if you dive deep into Premium, you’re looking at over 700 games spanning two decades. It’s a bit like walking into a library where every book is a game—you could get lost forever. Skimming through it isn’t exactly user-friendly. A heads-up on what’s cool might be your saving grace before splashing the cash. And each month, new games march in like a parade. Mostly PS4 and PS5, but sometimes a surprise guest from the classics.
By June 2025, Mark Sammut updated the scene with PS Plus Extra and Premium’s June games—a quirky mix, really. Not scream-inducing must-haves, but hey, variety’s the spice of life. There’s this FBC: Firebreak game—a multiplayer shooter, Day 1 launch. Give it a whirl if co-op’s your jam.
So, Firebreak—what’s the deal? Too early to crown it king of anything, but it’s hanging out there, fresh and new. Plopped down on PS Plus Extra, Premium, and Game Pass with crossplay. So, you can duke it out with peeps across consoles. Now’s as good a time as any to test the waters.
Oh, and it’s more of a party affair—solo play is like attending a dance alone, not ideal. Grab some mates to form a squad because it’s really all about the trio action, kits, weapons, and missions with checkboxes to tick. Extraction shooter mixed with vibes similar to Deep Rock Galactic but not quite the same jazz.
Moving on to God Of War Ragnarok—continuing from the 2018 saga, with everything Norse and world-ending drama. You’re Kratos, fighting the gods while juggling potential Ragnarok. Combat’s still crunchy, just with some new stuff sprinkled in. The campaign’s long like a book you never finish, but packed with epic and personal beats. Oh, Valhalla mode—it’s like an epilogue, and frankly, a must if you’re a completionist.
The Last Of Us Part 1, a PS3 gem now on PS5 with a fresh paint job. Joel and Ellie’s apocalyptic road trip melds stealth, combat, and heart-wrenching tales into one. Newcomers, start here—the remake’s got all the classic feels with some updated flair.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt—love it or roll your eyes; it redefined what RPGs could be. If by some miracle you missed it, Geralt’s grand exit is waiting for you on PS Plus. Characters, world, combat—it’s a whole meal.
Cult Of The Lamb—a cute-but-dark roguelite involving weirdly charming cult management. Sacrifices, followers, the works. Roguelites can put some off, but this one’s balance of fun and darkness keeps it interesting.
TimeSplitters 2 and Future Perfect—old-school FPS classics making a return. Time travel shenanigans and solid gunplay for lovers of nostalgia. Future Perfect, especially, gives a slick if sometimes light storytelling experience.
Oh, Bloodborne! Dark, edgy, and very FromSoftware. It’s not easy, but overcoming its challenges is a gamer’s badge of honor. Many adore its gothic beauty and boss battles. Not for the faint of heart.
Celeste—a platformer that aims high with its challenge and story. Climb that mountain with Madeline, face the inner demons. It’s not just a game; it’s a journey, folks.
Lastly, Dave The Diver—a quirky blend of fishing and restaurant management. You’re catching fish by day, sushi chef by night. It shouldn’t work, but somehow, it all clicks together neatly.
Chivalry 2, if medieval warfare tickles your fancy—massive battles without too much fuss. Less intense than Mordhau but easier for new folks to jump into without a hitch. It’s chaos you can dip in and out of, and sometimes, that’s exactly what you need.
