Sony reveals June’s PS Plus games led by Grounded: Fully Yoked Edition for PS5/PS4, joined by Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, and EA Sports FC 26 (PS5/PS4); Grounded launches June 2, while Wuchang: Fallen Feathers and Nine Sols leave the library in about a week.
Sony has revealed June 2026 PS Plus Essential games—Grounded Fully Yoked Edition (PS5/PS4), Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 (PS5/PS4), and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide (PS5)—available from June 2; Destiny 2: Legacy Collection leads the Extra lineup with more titles to be announced next month.
Sony has emailed PS5/PS4 owners a survey to gather feedback on PS Plus after confirming price hikes across all tiers (Essential, Extra, Premium). The questionnaire asks about satisfaction with features like game library access, online multiplayer, discounts, Share Play, and cloud saves, as well as how likely users are to renew and what would make the service more rewarding. It follows reports that price increases have affected all tiers and invites comments on overall value and future improvements.
Sony’s price increases for PlayStation Plus now cover Extra and Premium; with the changes live, Extra starts at $16.99/month and Premium at $19.99/month, following the earlier Essential tier hike.
Sony has increased PS Plus prices for Extra and Premium in multiple regions (new 1-month and 3-month rates), while the 12-month option largely remains unchanged; Australia shows increases even for 12-month. The rollout followed Sony's note about Essential price hikes and has drawn criticism, with many users shifting to annual subscriptions to avoid monthly increases.
Sony announced eight new games joining the PlayStation Plus Game Catalogue for May 2026, headlined by Red Dead Redemption 2 and Star Wars Outlaws for Extra and Premium subscribers, along with Bramble: The Mountain King, The Thaumaturge, Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, Broken Sword – Shadows of the Templar: Reforged, Enotria: The Last Song, and Time Crisis (Premium only).
Sony announced the PS Plus Essential May 2026 lineup: Wuchang: Fallen Feathers (PS5), EA Sports FC 26 (PS5/PS4), and Nine Sols (PS5/PS4). They become available on May 5 and can be claimed through June 1; as with Essential, these games are yours to keep while your membership remains active. The slate is notable for its surprise inclusion of Wuchang, a title released less than a year ago, and continues the trend of a May lineup that includes only one PS4 game.
Opinion piece argues Sony’s caution on day-one, all-you-can-play subscriptions was prescient. It cites Microsoft’s Game Pass price hikes and the COD inclusion as signs the model is financially fragile, while Sony’s PS Plus Extra is valuable without day-one exclusives—despite Horizon joining later. The author suggests the Netflix-for-games idea is fading, MS may pivot, and Sony’s approach appears more sustainable for long-term profitability.
Sony’s PS Plus lineup for April 2026 rolls out starting in Japan/Asia on April 21, with Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered (PS5) and Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition (PS4) headlining a batch that also includes The Crew Motorfest, Football Manager 26 Console, Warriors: Abyss, Squirrel with a Gun, The Casting of Frank Stone, Monster Train (PS5/PS4), plus Wild Arms 4 for Premium. Regions outside Asia will see the rest around local noon on the 21st. The release has drawn mixed reactions, and Sony continues adding only one classic title per month.
You can claim Graveyard Keeper for free on the PS Store without a PS Plus subscription, available until April 13 and yours to keep forever; the promo promotes the upcoming PS5 sequel, and the original game remains popular with DLC discounts available.
Eurogamer reports that a leak suggests Sony's April PlayStation Plus Essential lineup will include Lords of the Fallen as the headliner and Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream as a second title, with an official announcement expected soon and replacing March's offerings (PGA Tour 2K25, Monster Hunter Rise, Slime Rancher 2, and The Elder Scrolls Online Collection: Gold Road).
Six PS Plus Extra games will depart the service on April 21, 2026 (EA Sports PGA Tour, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, Dave the Diver, Spitlings, TowerFall Ascension, Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories); access ends after removal, so you'll need to purchase them if you want to keep playing.
PlayStation players get a blockbuster week with 20+ new PS5/PS4 releases from March 16 to 22, led by Crimson Desert and big titles The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin and MLB The Show 26, plus a solid batch of PS Plus drops including Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 and Persona 5 Royal.
With RAM costs rising, Sony is reportedly weighing expanded monetization of PS5 users, potentially through PS Plus price hikes and broader live-service strategies, as part of a broader push to protect margins amid industry-wide price pressures.
Sony’s PS Plus February 2026 rollout brings a strong Extra lineup headlined by Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 along with Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, Neva, Season: A Letter to the Future, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, Monster Hunter Stories, Venba, Echoes of the End: Enhanced Edition, Rugby 25, and Disney Pixar Wall-E; Premium/Deluxe members get a single classic this month, with PSP Tekken: Dark Resurrection and PS1’s Time Crisis slated for March and May, respectively, and regional release times varying as the update rolls out.
