Unlocking the Future of Gaming: Sony's June PlayStation Plus Bonanza

Sony Sets the Stage with PlayStation Plus Innovations

This June, Sony slays the style of gaming as we know it. With a coup de grâce of a nod to all past iterations of gaming and a glorious, next-gen future for PlayStation Plus members, this month’s list of free games is a powerful testament to the immense range of gaming strategies.

Revolutionizing Entertainment with PS VR2 Titles

For the first time, PlayStation Plus members – those who have the premium membership – will be able to take their PlayStation experiences into the mind-blowing realm of PS VR2. Starting on 6 June, premium players who own PS VR2 headsets will be able to access Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord, Walkabout Mini Golf, Synth Riders, Before Your Eyes or The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapters 1 & 2 and, with a click of a button, transform their living rooms into wonderlands.

A Treasure Trove of Gaming for All Tiers

Sony’s wider PlayStation Plus community won’t be left out either – as of 4 June, all tiers of subscribers from around the world can enter the colourful cartoon world of SpongeBob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake, fight their way through the neon streets of Streets of Rage 4 or take part in the AEW Fight Forever all-star wrestling competition. As a result, there’s a palpable sense of richness and variety in terms of the games offered, which are unlikely to be removed even if you do cancel your PlayStation Plus membership.

An Ever-Growing PlayStation Plus Catalog

Sony’s titles this June are just the beginning. It has promised to add more games every week for both PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers. Those can range from the intriguing indie Dredge to the Lego Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 or rock-hard Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition.

Days of Play: A Festival of Savings

Sony’s Days of Play sale, starting on 29 May, promises two weeks of fantastic deals. For PlayStation fans, you’ll only need a mere 20 bucks to get your hands on a PlayStation 5, along with 2 for a PS VR2, plus two-month free trials for PS Plus plans for newcomers, to be enjoyed until 9 June. If you’ve been waiting for a moment to beef up that digital catalogue, you’ve got a choice of 64 deals on games with 24-hour flash sales substituting throughout.

A Hint at More to Come

Interestingly, Sony picked a random Tuesday morning to make the announcements after the usual Wednesday reveal and the gaming community is catching on to the fact that this isn’t just your standard midweek news. As such, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see some more PlayStation announcements rolling out later this week, possibly pointing to a surprise PlayStation Showcase or a new chapter in the PlayStation universe.

Understanding Sony

And thanks to Sony, fans can get excited about what each month’s PlayStation Plus offerings mean for the future of entertainment technology. While it may feel like this is Sony completely owning gamer nostalgia, it’s important to remember that what Sony is marketing here is their legacy of innovation. The very best games in history, for example, the ones that are completely untouchable by modern gaming, are being immortalised in VR so that a new generation can experience the glory of gaming’s most cherished classics. Sony is firmly committed to being the leader of entertainment technology for generations to come.

SONY'S PROMISE

June’s PlayStation Plus lineup wasn’t just a collection of titles – it was an artistic statement. A declaration that Sony was the company helping shape an industry that offered a wide range of gaming experiences to all types of fans. In the past year, Sony has proven its ability to take players on amazing excursions far into the future and far into the past with PS VR2 and PS2 games. With more surprises likely on the way, it seems to me that the future’s brighter than ever before, and Sony is leading the way.
