Sony has revealed the lineup of free games for PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers for June 2025, offering a diverse selection that caters to sports fans, horror enthusiasts, and lovers of indie innovation.
This Month’s Lineup
From June 3 to June 30, PlayStation Plus members will be able to download and keep the following three titles:
NBA 2K25 (PS5, PS4)
The latest entry in the long-running basketball franchise headlines this month’s offerings. NBA 2K25 introduces refined gameplay mechanics, enhanced MyCareer mode features, and a deeper integration with the NBA’s real-world ecosystem. Whether you’re looking to guide your custom player to stardom or dominate online with your favorite team, this release brings both polish and substance to the court.
Alone in the Dark (PS5)
This modern reimagining of the survival horror classic returns players to Derceto Manor, blending psychological tension with eerie visuals and branching narratives. Featuring performances by Jodie Comer and David Harbour, Alone in the Dark emphasizes exploration, puzzle-solving, and atmospheric storytelling over pure jump scares, making it a must-play for fans of narrative-driven horror.
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk (PS5, PS4)
Inspired by the cult classic Jet Set Radio, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is a vibrant, cel-shaded skate-and-graffiti game that combines rhythm, exploration, and urban expression. Set in the futuristic city of New Amsterdam, players join crews to take control of different boroughs through stylish tricks and tagging missions. The game’s soundtrack, composed by Hideki Naganuma, adds to its nostalgic yet fresh energy.
Bonus: Destiny 2 – The Final Shape
Although not part of the core free game rotation, PlayStation users can also access Destiny 2: The Final Shape, the much-anticipated expansion to Bungie’s live-service shooter, starting May 28. This expansion concludes the game’s Light and Darkness saga, introducing new environments inside the Pale Heart of the Traveler, a new Prismatic subclass, and the return of the long-lost character Cayde-6.
A Well-Rounded Selection
June 2025’s PS Plus Essential lineup reflects Sony’s continued strategy of offering high-profile sports titles, genre-redefining indie games, and cinematic single-player experiences. The inclusion of Destiny 2: The Final Shape further boosts the month’s value, especially for players invested in the evolving narrative of one of gaming’s most enduring online worlds.
