The selection of PS Plus Extra games for June 2023 offers something for everyone, with a few standout titles that garnered favorable reviews upon their release. Notably, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided received mostly positive feedback, along with games like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge and The Talos Principle: Deluxe Edition. Furthermore, Inscryption, a new addition to the PS Plus Extra lineup for June 2023, has also received rave reviews and promises to be a fantastic addition this month.
The highly anticipated games taking the spotlight are undoubtedly Far Cry 6 and Rogue Legacy 2. Far Cry 6, the latest addition to Ubisoft's renowned open world FPS Far Cry series, features Giancarlo Esposito as the game's primary antagonist and delivers the familiar and beloved gameplay style that fans of the franchise have grown accustomed to. Upon its initial release, Far Cry 6 garnered positive feedback from both fans and critics, although its critical reception fell slightly short compared to the groundbreaking Far Cry 3 and the widely popular Far Cry 4.
Rogue Legacy 2, on the other hand, has garnered high praise as one of the top-rated games of 2022. Notably, it stands out as a rare inclusion in the day one lineup of PS Plus Extra games. While previously accessible on other platforms, Rogue Legacy 2 is now making its debut on PlayStation through the PS Plus Extra program. PlayStation enthusiasts now have the opportunity to personally experience Rogue Legacy 2 and discover why it received widespread acclaim upon its release last year.
Furthermore, all the new games added to the PS Plus Extra lineup for June 2023 will also be accessible to those subscribed to the PS Plus Premium tier. In addition to the benefits offered by the base version of PlayStation Plus, PS Plus Premium provides access to exclusive features like classic games, free trials, and much more.
New PS Plus Premium Games for June 2023
Coded Soul
Herc's Adventures
Killzone: Liberation
Worms
In addition to the 25 PS Plus Extra games included in the June 2023 update, Premium subscribers also have exclusive access to four titles. The newly added PS Plus Premium games for June 2023 consist of Coded Soul, a PSP game, Herc's Adventures, a PS1 game, as well as Worms and Killzone: Liberation, both available on PSP. One common criticism towards the PS Plus Premium lineup has been the lack of PSP games, but the June 2023 update aims to please fans of Sony's popular handheld device.
There are still numerous notable PSP games that have yet to be featured in the PS Plus Premium collection. Hopefully, future updates will bring a wider selection of PSP games to the service. Apart from the inclusion of classic games, another advantage of the PS Plus Premium tier is the opportunity to try out free game trials. Sony consistently introduces new PS Plus Premium game trials for fans to explore. As of June 20, players will have the chance to experience a free trial of WWE 2K23, the latest installment in the long-standing wrestling game series, which has received exceptional reviews.
PS Plus Anniversary Celebration
In addition to the exciting new games coming to the PS Plus Extra and Premium tiers, PlayStation Plus subscribers have even more to anticipate on June 20. This month not only marks the anniversary of Sony's PS Plus revamp, but also the introduction of the PS Plus Essential, PS Plus Extra, and PS Plus Premium tiers, replacing PlayStation Now.
To commemorate this occasion, Sony has revealed a range of extras for PS Plus subscribers, set to kick off on June 20. These perks include free avatars and wallpapers, a special PlayStation Stars campaign, and an enticing contest offering gamers the chance to win a PlayStation 5 console and PlayStation VR2 headset.
Other PS Plus Events in June 2023
In addition to the highly anticipated June 20 release, PS Plus subscribers have another exciting event to look forward to later in the month. From June 24 to June 25, PlayStation gamers can enjoy a free multiplayer weekend. Typically, accessing online multiplayer on PlayStation requires a PS Plus Essential subscription. However, this special event allows fans to experience the benefits of PS Plus without any cost.
The upcoming event hosted by Sony will feature another exciting challenge for Sackboy: A Big Adventure speedrun enthusiasts. Participants will have the opportunity to win complimentary subscriptions to PlayStation Plus Premium. The fortunate winners will be rewarded with a three-month membership to PS Plus Premium. It is important to note that Sackboy: A Big Adventure is included in the PS Plus Extra games lineup, therefore, individuals must either be subscribed to that tier or own the game in order to be eligible for the contest.
