Summer Game Fest is over, and Sony had its State of Play showcase featuring some of the big games coming in the future, including God of War: Laufey. Topping off the news coming from the PlayStation maker, PS Plus subscribers will get the latest games from two major franchises with Final Fantasy 16 and Sonic X Shadow Generation. This comes just a few weeks after Sony increased the monthly price of the service for new customers.
PS Pluswhich is Sony’s version of Xbox Game Pass, offers a large, constantly expanding library of games. Subscribers can choose from the Essential, Extra and Premium tiers, each with unique perks and benefits. Starting at $10 a monththe plans give subscribers access to games and rewards, and each month, all subscribers can play a handful of new games at no additional charge.
If you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you can grab these games in June.
Final Fantasy 16
Final Fantasy 16 is the latest entry into the JRPG franchise, and the one that took a lot of risks. Combat was more action-focused, there were no allies in your party and the content was more mature than any of the previous games. Players take on the role of Clive Rosfield as he embarks on a quest for revenge that evolves into a battle over the fate of the world. The game’s massive Eikon battles deliver some of the most spectacular moments in the series, turning key story events into unforgettable set pieces. Between its fast-paced combat, emotional narrative and stunning world, Final Fantasy 16 offers a different take on the franchise while still capturing what makes the series special.
Final Fantasy 16 is available for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers starting June 16.
Sonic X Shadow Generations
For longtime fans of Sega’s mascot, this adventure serves as both a celebration of Sonic’s history and a showcase for one of the franchise’s most popular characters. Players race through iconic stages from across the series, switching between classic side-scrolling levels and modern high-speed 3D action. An all-new campaign starring Shadow introduces new powers and abilities, offering fresh ways to tackle challenges and explore familiar worlds. Whether revisiting favorite moments or experiencing Shadow’s story, there’s plenty of speed and spectacle throughout Sonic X Shadow Generations.
Sonic X Shadow Generations is available for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers starting June 10.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a different kind of RPG. Set in 15th-century Bohemia, this game trades fantasy monsters and magic for a grounded story inspired by real history. Players step into the shoes of Henry, a blacksmith’s son whose life is upended by war, setting him on a path filled with political intrigue, danger and personal growth. Combat emphasizes timing, skill and strategy, while choices made throughout the journey can influence how events unfold.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is available for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers starting June 23.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure
The return of Max Caulfield marks a new chapter for the Life Is Strange series, bringing players into a mystery that spans two parallel realities. When a close friend is found dead, Max discovers she can shift between timelines, allowing her to gather clues and piece together what happened. Every conversation and decision can influence the story, shaping relationships and the direction of the investigation. As the stakes grow higher, players will have to determine whether changing fate comes at too great a cost.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure is available for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers starting June 23.
Farming Simulator 25
Farming Simulator 25 puts players in charge of building and managing their own agricultural operation, from a modest family farm to a sprawling farming empire. Growing crops, raising livestock and maintaining a fleet of vehicles are all part of the experience as players work to expand their business. New maps, crops and equipment provide additional opportunities to customize and optimize a farm to suit different goals. Whether tending fields solo or teaming up with friends, there’s always more work to be done and new ways to grow.
Farming Simulator 25 is available for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers starting June 30.
Blades of Fire
A kingdom ruled by steel and tyranny serves as the backdrop for Blades of Fire. Players take on the role of Aran de Lira, a warrior who must forge powerful weapons and master them in battle against deadly enemies. Combat emphasizes precision and strategy, encouraging players to adapt their equipment and fighting style to different threats. Along the way, a larger mystery begins to unfold, revealing the forces shaping the fate of the realm in Blades of Fire.
Blades of Fire is available for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers starting June 30.
Black Desert
Black Desert drops players into a sprawling online fantasy world filled with battles, exploration and countless ways to carve out their own path. Fast-paced action combat sets it apart from many other MMORPGs, allowing players to chain together attacks and abilities in dynamic encounters. Beyond fighting monsters and completing quests, players can build businesses, trade goods, fish, craft and take part in large-scale battles with other adventurers. Whether chasing powerful gear or simply exploring the world, there’s no shortage of activities to keep players busy.
Black Desert is available for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers starting June 30.
Guitar Man
Before Guitar Hero and Rock Band, Gitaroo Man was the game to play if you wanted to feel like a rock star. First released on the PS2 in the US in 2002, the game follows a boy named U-1 who finds out that he’s been chosen to wield the powerful Last Gitaroo to become the legendary Gitaroo Man. U-1 battles against galactic foes in rhythm-based combat that creates some rocking songs.
