PlayStation Plus: 9 New Free Games Drop on June 17 – Including a AAA and Day One Title
Sony rolls out the red carpet for PlayStation Plus subscribers this June, with an impressive wave of games set to expand the Extra and Premium tiers. From Day One releases to cult classics and recent blockbusters, players will be spoiled for choice.
Alongside the Days of Play, Sony had already surprised Essential tier subscribers with four free games instead of the usual three. During the Summer Game Fest 2025, the Japanese giant doubled down by revealing more titles coming to the Premium catalog, including a Day One launch of Sword of the Sea, as well as classics like Twisted Metal 3, Twisted Metal 4, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3. But that was just the beginning: Sony has now unveiled eight more titles coming to the Extra tier, plus an added bonus for Premium members.

Deus Ex Returns for Premium Members
And finally, a treat for retro gaming enthusiasts. The legendary Deus Ex: The Conspiracy, originally released on PlayStation 2 in 2000, is making a comeback via the Classics Catalog and will be available through emulation on PS4 and PS5.
Widely regarded as one of the most influential games of its time, Deus Ex blends stealth, RPG mechanics, and dystopian cyberpunk storytelling. Its re-release in the Premium offering will give a new generation the chance to rediscover this video game milestone in its original form.
