PlayStation Plus Free Games June 2026

Editorial Team

Depending on where you live, the temperatures outside are getting warmer. However, if you’re not yet ready for the coming heat, it might be a good idea to stay indoors and play some games. Sony has you covered for this, and so here is the PlayStation Plus free games June 2026 line-up which will be available for download on Tuesday, June 2.

First, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Grounded: Fully Yoked Edition, developed by Obsidian Entertainment. Although first released in 2022, PlayStation players had to wait another two years to play this survival crafting game. Players control one of four characters who find themselves shrunk in a backyard, where they must build bases, craft weapons, and fight against various insects, while trying to find a way to grow back to normal.

Next, for the PS5, there’s Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, the first-person action title set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, developed by Fatshark, first released about four years ago. Similar to its predecessor, up to four players can play cooperatively to defeat waves of enemies. Players are able to customize not only their chosen classes, but appearance as well.

Finally, for both the PS4 and PS5, there is Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, a crossover fighting game developed by Fair Play Labs and first released two years ago. Players select characters from various Nickelodeon franchises including Avatar: The Last Airbender, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Garfield, SpongeBob SquarePants, Ren & Stimpy, and many others.

Among the three PlayStation Plus free games June 2026 titles, all three of them have platinum trophies to unlock.

The easiest platinum, by far, goes to Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2. While the game itself is of average difficulty, depending on your 2D fighting skills, the platinum can be unlocked in under 15 hours of gameplay.

Next on the list is Grounded: Fully Yoked Edition. The difficulty of this game is also fairly average, though you can expect around 60 hours of gameplay, depending on how much time you spend exploring and base-building. Although the platinum requires a second playthrough on New Game+, all your bases and equipment will carry over, making the second playthrough a quick run through.

Finally, unlocking the platinum for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide can be a bit of a challenge. Also, since there is a lot of grinding involved, expect well over 100 hours of gameplay for this one.

Editorial Team

April showers are just about over. Yet, if you’re not interested in going outside just yet, there are some extra games to play. And so, here is the PlayStation Plus free games May 2026 line-up which will be available for download on Tuesday, May 5.

First, for the PS5, there’s Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, the action RPG released last year, developed by Leenzee and published by 505 Games. Set in an alternate history during the Ming dynasty, players take on the role of female pirate Bai Wuchang, exploring a war-ravaged land while facing supernatural horrors.

Next, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s EA Sports FC 26, the football (soccer) game developed by both EA Vancouver and EA Romania, coming just in time for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup. The game incorporates several innovations compared to its predecessor, including dribbling mechanics, improved AI, and allows players to select challenges to complete in Manager Career.

Finally, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Nine Sols, an action platformer developed by Red Candle Games. Set in a fantasy-futuristic world which combines Taoism with cyberpunk, players control Yi who is on a quest for revenge by defeating the Nine Sols.

Among the PlayStation Plus free games May 2026 titles, all three of them have platinum trophies to unlock. Unfortunately, none of them are particularly easy.

Arguably, obtaining the platinum for EA Sports FC 26 could be considered the easiest among the three. However, this entirely depends on your experience with playing other games in the series. Also, there are a few online trophies to worry about. Expect roughly around 40 hours of gameplay for the platinum, depending on  your EA Sports FC skills.

Next, unlocking the platinum for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers can be a little challenging, particularly since there are so many missable trophies. Be prepared to follow a guide while you play, for this one. Also, four full playthroughs are required. Expect around 50 hours of gameplay.

Finally, Nine Sols is quite a challenging game. You could get the platinum trophy in around 30 hours, however this is heavily skill dependent. Although the playtime required for the platinum is the shortest among the three games, Nine Sols is also arguably the most difficult.

PlayStation Plus Free Games April 2026

Editorial Team

While some of us may still be experiencing cold weather from this overly long winter, Sony has provided us with three great reasons to stay home and keep warm. And so, here is the PlayStation Plus free games April 2026 line-up which will be available for download on Tuesday, April 7.

First, for the PS5, there’s Lords of the Fallen, a successor to the 2014 game of the same name, developed by Hexworks and published by CI Games. In this third-person Souls-like action RPG, players use melee weapons and magic to battle enemies, as they try to stop the dark god’s return. Online play is available for both co-op as well as player-versus-player.

Next, for the PS5, there’s Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream, a co-op raid battle title based on the Sword Art Online franchise. The game includes over 20 playable characters across seasons 1 – 3 of the anime series, with both single-player and online multiplayer.

Lastly, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Tomb Raider I-III Remastered. This includes the three original Tomb Raider games first released on the PlayStation One back in the 1990’s. Take control of Lara Croft as you solve ancient mysteries and battle enemies. Players can swap between the new updated graphics, or the original polygon images.

Regarding the platinum situation for the PlayStation Plus free games April 2026 line-up, Lords of the Fallen and Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream each have a platinum trophy to unlock. In the case of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, this depends on which system you are downloading the game for. If you are playing the PS4 version (which can be downloaded onto the PS5) then there are three platinum trophies, one for each game. However, if you are playing the PS5 version, there is no platinum trophy and instead the games are lumped together in a bundle with bronze, silver, and gold trophies.

Obtaining the platinum for Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is average in terms of difficulty, although this depends on your fighting game skills. Expect over 100 hours of gameplay for this one.

Unlocking the platinum for Lords of the Fallen can be quite challenging. It has also been reported to be difficult in finding online players for unlocking the online trophies. Expect around 90 hours to unlock the platinum.

Lastly, if you are playing the PS4 version of the Tomb Raider Remastered series, then it could be said that the platinum for Tomb Raider I and II are each average in terms of difficulty. However, expect around 50 hours of gameplay for the first, and only around 30 hours for the second. The platinum for Tomb Raider III has the most challenging platinum among the three, and can take you anywhere between 30-50 hours, depending on your skills.

Excluding The Gold Road Collection, the three main titles in the PlayStation Plus free games March 2026 line-up all have platinum trophies to unlock.
