Sure, here’s a rewritten version with a more informal and human-like tone:
Okay, so picture this: June 13, 2022. Sony rolls out a revamped PlayStation Plus across North America. We’re talking three tiers here, and it’s kinda like a mash-up of the old PS Plus with PS Now. Depending on which level you pick, you get access to various games and services. That’s a lot, right?
Alrighty, here’s the breakdown:
-
PlayStation Plus Essential at $9.99/month. Pretty much the old PS Plus, with online play, free monthly games, and some discounts thrown in.
-
Then there’s PlayStation Plus Extra for $14.99/month. It gives you everything from the Essential tier, plus you get to dive into hundreds of PS4 and PS5 games. Not bad!
- Lastly, we’ve got PlayStation Plus Premium, setting you back $17.99/month. This beast includes all benefits from both Essential and Extra tiers, and adds a library of old-school goodies (think PS3, PS2, PSP, and PS1 games), game trials, and cloud streaming in some places.
So, the Premium pack comes loaded with over 700 games. Crazy, right? Spanning like two decades of PlayStation stuff. So it’s like standing in front of a massive, jam-packed buffet and you don’t know where to start. It’s hectic trying to find your way around the app, so here’s a little tip: know the highlights before you dive in and splash that cash. Sony does chuck in new games every month, mostly shiny new PS5 and PS4 ones, but sometimes they dust off some classics too.
Now, fast forward to June 17, 2025, and Mark Sammut updates us saying the June games for Extra and Premium tiers are out, with a pretty mixed bag of titles. None might scream "SUBSCRIBE NOW," but hey, they cover a bunch of genres, and there’s even a Day 1 drop—a multiplayer shooter. If co-op tickles your fancy, you might want to hop on FBC: Firebreak. Monster Hunter Rise got the chop though, so don’t go looking for that one there.
FBC: Firebreak – A Brand New Online Co-Op Adventure
Can’t say if FBC: Firebreak is gonna be the next big thing in online gaming, but take it from me, there’s no better time to jump aboard. It just hit PS Plus Extra/Premium and Game Pass together. Plus, crossplay! So folks from all corners can join in. If first-person shooters are your jam, give it a whirl. Why not, right?
You could try going solo, but honestly, this game’s built for 3-player co-op. It’s all about picking kits, grabbing weapons, and jumping into missions with a few objectives to tick off. Think Deep Rock Galactic vibes meets classic FPS action.
God Of War Ragnarok – Epic Console Exclusive
Now, if you dug the 2018 God of War, Ragnarok is your ticket to seeing how the Norse saga wraps up. We’re talking about the end times, realms possibly falling, gods duking it out. Kratos is trying to halt Ragnarok, but he’s also gearing up to face Odin, who’s eyeing Atreus to join him. The combat’s still brilliant—got that crunchy, satisfying feel—but if you weren’t a fan before, I doubt this one will reel you in.
The Last Of Us Part 1 – PS5 Remake of a Classic
Oh boy, let’s talk Naughty Dog’s masterpiece, The Last of Us. It was the swan song of PS3, and what a way to sign off. Ended up spawning a sequel, even a TV show. The PS4 remaster? Fantastic. PS5’s Part 1 remake? Stunning facelift. But if you’ve already played the story, maybe the remake won’t add much new. For newcomers though, it’s an immersive ride.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – RPG Royalty
Ah, The Witcher 3. This game, man. It redefined RPGs back in the day. All about deep storytelling, secondary quests that don’t feel like filler, and a world that just swallows you whole. So, maybe you’ve played it or at least heard of it considering how it feels like everyone and their grandma’s played it. But if, somehow, you haven’t? Dive in. Geralt’s waiting.
Cult Of The Lamb – A Weirdly Charming Cult Sim
Thinking about cult simulators? Yup, we have a contender for cutest in the darkly weird category. Cult of the Lamb’s a roguelite with personality! You’re a Lamb prepping for a god’s return, recruiting followers, beating big bads. Roguelikes can turn folks off at first glance, but roguelites like this strike a balance. The gameplay’s solid, the humor is there, and your cult-followers evolve, which is honestly quite fun to manage.
Classic TimeSplitters 2 And Future Perfect – Nostalgic FPS Fun
The PS Plus list also popped up with two classics from Free Radical Design: TimeSplitters 2 and Future Perfect. Now, it’s all about some good old fast, frantic gunplay. While TimeSplitters 2 nailed the core shooting experience, Future Perfect delivered with a more cohesive story.
Bloodborne – The FromSoftware Gothic Gem
Bloodborne’s not just any game; it’s like, an experience. You’re thrown into this dark, Gothic world, and it isn’t for the faint-hearted. Once you get past the initial difficulty, your reward is a truly immersive RPG. The atmosphere, storytelling, it’s all top-notch—even though you might struggle with the lower frames on the PS4.
Celeste – Emotional, Challenging Platformer
Celeste combines a gripping story with tight platforming. As Madeline, climbing that mountain isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, too. The game’s tough, yeah, but the journey is so worth it, with a soundtrack that’ll stay with you long after.
Dave The Diver – Where Management Meets Ocean Adventures
Dave the Diver swoops in with ocean-fishing-meets-restaurant-management gameplay. Spend your days diving, catching fish, and then serve them fresh at your restaurant come nightfall. It’s a quirky blend that works, and the fishing alone is enough to keep you hooked.
Chivalry 2 – Medieval Madness
Get ready to swing some swords! Chivalry 2 and Mordhau make sure PS Plus Extra users got their fix of multiplayer medieval action. Out of the pair, Chivalry 2 lets you jump into massive battles without sweating the small stuff. It’s pure medieval chaos, perfect if you’re just here for the laughs and the excitement!
And… I think I’ve rambled enough for now. Go on, pick a game and start an adventure!
