Game Breakdown
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide — The Standout Pick
Darktide is the clear highlight of this month's lineup.
Developed by Fatshark (the studio behind the Warhammer: Vermintide series), Darktide is a first-person co-op action game set in the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40,000. Up to four players fight through hordes of heretics and mutants aboard a massive city-ship called Tertium.
Why now is the perfect time:
- ▶Darktide launched on PC in 2022 to a mixed reception but has received consistent updates since, transforming it into a well-regarded co-op experience
- ▶Four distinct classes with deep build customization: Veteran Sharpshooter, Zealot Preacher, Psyker Psykinetic, and Ogryn Skullbreaker
- ▶A new Skitarii class arrives June 23 — PS Plus timing is ideal for getting in before the expansion
- ▶The Warhammer 40,000 atmosphere is faithfully recreated with oppressive, high-detail environments and punishing enemy density
Best for: Fans of Left 4 Dead, Vermintide, co-op action games, and Warhammer lore.
Grounded: Fully Yoked Edition — Xbox Game on PlayStation
Grounded, developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Xbox Game Studios, coming to PS Plus represents an unusual moment in the current subscription landscape.
The survival game shrinks players down to insect size in a backyard environment. You build bases from blades of grass, craft weapons from pebble shards, and contend with spiders, ants, and beetles that are now the size of monsters.
Fully Yoked Edition is the complete version including all updates and DLC released since the game's 1.0 launch.
- ▶Up to 4-player co-op or full solo experience
- ▶Built-in Arachnophobia Mode that simplifies spider graphics — a genuine accessibility feature
- ▶A Microsoft-published game appearing in PS Plus is historically uncommon
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2
A platform fighter featuring a roster of Nickelodeon characters including SpongeBob, Aang, Reptar, and more. Plays similarly to Smash Bros with accessible mechanics, making it a strong pick for family gaming sessions or players new to the genre.
Extra & Premium Bonus (June 9)
PS Plus Extra and Premium members get an additional title on June 9:
| Title | Tier | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Destiny 2: Legacy Collection (2025) | Extra / Premium | June 9 |
The Legacy Collection (2025) includes The Final Shape expansion — arriving precisely as Bungie releases the game's final major update, Monument of Triumph, on the same day. A fitting way to experience the end of the Destiny 2 era.
PS Plus Pricing (Post-June 2026 Increase)
This is the first lineup drop following Sony's price hike. The new prices apply to new subscribers — existing subscribers are unaffected unless their subscription lapses or changes.
| Tier | Monthly | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | $10.99 | +$1.00 |
| Extra | $16.99 | +$2.00 |
| Premium | $19.99 | +$2.00 |
The 12-month subscription option remains unchanged — Sony's apparent nudge toward annual commitment.
Don't Miss: May Games Expire Today
Today is the last day to add May's free games to your library:
- ▶Wuchang: Fallen Feathers — Chinese soulslike action RPG, one of 2026's breakout releases
- ▶Nine Sols — Metroidvania with Taoist mythology, a standout indie title
Add them to your library before midnight tonight — even if you don't play them immediately, they remain in your library as long as your PS Plus subscription is active.
Value Comparison
| Service | June Highlight | Monthly Cost |
|---|---|---|
| PS Plus Essential | Darktide + Grounded + NASB2 | $10.99 |
| Xbox Game Pass Core | Separate lineup | $9.99 |
| Xbox Game Pass Ultimate | Grounded already included | $19.99 |
| Nintendo Switch Online | Retro library | $3.99 |
GamePeak Verdict
Darktide alone justifies this month's Essential subscription. The game has improved significantly since its rough 2022 launch, and getting into it now — ahead of the June 23 Skitarii class drop — is ideal timing for new players.
Grounded is a bonus for families and solo survival fans, particularly notable as a Microsoft title crossing into PlayStation's subscription service.
Best action: Add everything to your library now, even if you plan to play later.
