Sony Revamps PlayStation Plus with Exciting New Releases for June

After a mixed response to its initial PS Plus Extra and Premium line-up, Sony is taking action to win back the hearts of subscribers. Following what many deemed an "embarrassing" selection of games, the company is preparing to unveil exciting additions for its PlayStation Plus service. As part of the upcoming Days of Play event, gamers will welcome new titles to both PS Plus Extra and Premium in the next few weeks. Here’s what you can expect.

New Titles Coming Soon

A Colorful Undertow: Another Crab’s Treasure

Kicking off this impressive line-up is Another Crab’s Treasure, available on May 29. This game brings a refreshing take on the Soulslike genre, often compared to an underwater version of SpongeBob SquarePants meets Dark Souls. Players will navigate through an underwater society where trash is transformed into invaluable resources. Its charming graphics and unique premise are sure to captivate gamers looking for a fresh experience.

Ubisoft’s Pirates Ahoy: Skull and Bones

Next up, on June 2, the long-awaited Skull and Bones will join the ranks of PS Plus Extra. Developed by Ubisoft, this game invites players to experience the life of a pirate on the high seas. Whether you’re battling rival crews or embarking on daring treasure hunts, Skull and Bones promises to be an exhilarating addition to the catalog.

Destiny Awaits: Legacy Collection

Mark your calendars for June 4, as Destiny 2: Legacy Collection makes its debut. This collection encompasses some of the most engrossing content from the Destiny universe, catering to both new players and long-time fans. With its rich lore and captivating gameplay, it’s an opportunity that many won’t want to miss.

A Classic Returns: Grand Theft Auto III

Finally, on June 10, Grand Theft Auto III: The Definitive Edition will arrive. This title is not just iconic; it revolutionized the open-world gaming landscape. Set in the gritty underbelly of Liberty City, players will follow Claude, a small-time crook trying to climb the criminal ladder. Its engaging storyline and immersive world continue to influence countless games that followed.

Enhancements for PlayStation Plus Premium Subscribers

While PS Plus Extra subscribers will enjoy the four new titles, the situation has been a bit lackluster for PlayStation Plus Premium members. Initially, the new classics catalog featured only one game: Battle Engine Aquila. However, Sony has heeded subscribers’ concerns and plans to add two classic titles on June 5.

The Return of Myst

The beloved atmospheric puzzle game, Myst, will be revived. Originating in the 1990s, this first-person adventure has gone through various ports over the years, from the original PlayStation to virtual reality devices like the Meta Quest. Its intricate puzzles and immersive environment continue to attract new players.

Riven: The Sequel to Myst

Adding to this nostalgia, Riven, the sequel to Myst, will also be joining the Classics catalog. With its compelling storyline and complex puzzles, it cemented itself as a classic in gaming history, making it a fitting addition for fans of adventure games.

More to Look Forward To

In addition to the games announced for PS Plus Extra and Premium, Sony will also refresh the PS Plus Essentials line-up for June. Titles including NBA 2K25, Alone in the Dark, and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk will be available. Plus, fans can look forward to Destiny: The Final Shape, which will be offered as a free addition on May 28.

Conclusion: A Promising Turnaround

With this new slate of games, Sony is making substantial efforts to revitalize its subscription service. Gamers can appreciate the thoughtful additions made to both PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium offerings. As these titles hit the shelves, it’s clear that Sony is committed to providing more engaging content for its players. Whether you’re diving into the depths of Another Crab’s Treasure or reliving your adventures in Grand Theft Auto III, there’s much to be excited about in the coming weeks.
