Sony has officially announced the June lineup for PlayStation Plus, confirming a fresh wave of monthly games available to all subscribers beginning June 2. The selection includes a blend of survival, fighting, and shooter experiences, headlined by an unexpected addition from an Xbox-owned studio.
A surprising Xbox-developed title joins PS Plus
One of the most significant inclusions this month is Grounded: Fully Yoked Edition (PS5), developed by Obsidian Entertainment, a studio owned by Xbox Game Studios. The Honey, I Shrunk The Kids-inspired survival game originally introduced in early access on Xbox and PC before fully debuting in 2022, and later extended to additional platforms after Microsoft relaxed its first-party exclusivity approach. Its arrival on PlayStation Plus signifies another example of transitioning boundaries in platform exclusivity within the gaming industry.
Full June PS Plus Essential games lineup
Starting June 2, all PlayStation Plus Essential members will be able to claim:
- Grounded: Fully Yoked Edition (PS5)
- Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 (PS4, PS5) – a platform fighting game showcasing iconic Nickelodeon characters
- Warhammer 40,000: Darktide (PS5) – a first-person cooperative shooter set in the Warhammer universe, placed as a spiritual successor to the Vermintide series
Once redeemed, these games remain playable as long as the subscription stays active.
Final chance to claim May’s PS Plus games
Sony also reminded users that May’s lineup is still accessible for a limited period. Players have until June 2 to redeem titles such as Nine Sols and Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. Additionally, EA Sports FC 26 will remain available until June 16, extending its standard claim window. The title is also scheduled for a major update on June 4, introducing an international tournament mode with 48 national teams, upgraded stadiums, and expanded career features including Icons and Heroes within Player Career mode.
Extra content and bonus packs for subscribers
PlayStation Plus members are also getting several bonus in-game items at no additional cost, that includes:
- EA Sports FC 26 Icons Player Pack (available until June 16) with:

Game Catalog expansion and upcoming release timing
Sony also confirmed that Destiny 2: Legacy Collection will be included in the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on June 9 for Extra and Premium subscribers. The bundle will have expansions up to The Final Shape , but does not include the most recent expansions launched in 2025. This release aligns with Bungie’s final update for Destiny 2’s long-running content cycle as the studio transitions away from active extended development.
Days of Play sale returns with discounts
Sony has also revealed the upcoming Days of Play sale, from May 27 to June 10 across Europe and the Americas. The promotion has:
