If there’s one thing PlayStation knows how to do well, besides dropping controller-melting exclusives, it’s curating monthly games that make your subscription actually worth it. And this June 2025? It’s not just good. It’s chef’s kiss good.
From high-speed graffiti mayhem to survival horror throwbacks and sports dynasties, PlayStation Plus is showing off. Whether you’re rocking the Essential, Extra, or Premium tier, Sony’s latest offerings bring nostalgia, adrenaline, and deep storytelling to keep you glued to your screen until summer ends. Let’s break down the Top 5 PlayStation Plus Games for June 2025.
1. NBA 2K25
Available: June 3 – July 1
Platform: PS4, PS5
Tier: All PS Plus Subscribers
NBA 2K25 could’ve just been a roster update, but it’s so much more. Visual Concepts took things up a notch with the addition of ProPLAY 2.0—a motion engine that captures real player movements in uncanny detail. You’ll feel it in the footwork, see it in the passes, and curse it when the AI drops a dagger three in overtime.
MyCAREER is deeper than ever, with social media scandals, trade politics, and that emotional teammate story arc we won’t spoil here. If you’re into:
- Deep customizations
- Streetball-to-NBA grind
- Fantasy-style team building (MyTEAM)
Then you’ll eat this one up. Even if you’re not a hoops fan, NBA 2K25’s career storytelling and customization are just that good.
Pro Tip: Get into the season early. Online modes will be hot all month and you’ll have a better chance to build your stats before the sweats take over.

2. Alone in the Dark (2024 Reboot)
Available: June 3 – July 1
Platform: PS5
Tier: All PS Plus Subscribers
Welcome to 1920s Louisiana. Swamps, secrets, and shadows await you.
Alone in the Dark has returned with striking confidence, not as a simple remake, but as a complete homage to old-school horror, drenched in a dark, brooding mood and rough, noir-style tones. You can play as Edward Carnby (voiced by David Harbour) or Emily Hartwood (played by Jodie Comer), both trapped in a haunted Southern mansion full of twisted puzzles and psychological terror.
This isn’t your typical gorefest.
- Slow, creeping dread
- Mind-bending puzzles
- Classic survival horror mechanics
Oh, and don’t sleep on the dialogue. The acting’s top-notch, and the narrative is thick with Southern Gothic vibes.
Perfect for:
- Horror genre lovers
- Fans of classic Resident Evil or Silent Hill
- Players craving something story-heavy
Don’t Miss: There are two storylines—one for each character. Replay value? Absolutely.
3. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
Available: June 3 – July 1
Platform: PS4, PS5
Tier: All PS Plus Subscribers
If you’re a die-hard fan of Jet Set Radio, prepare to be obsessed with Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. The visuals are stylish, the soundtrack absolutely bangs, and the gameplay is all about slick moves, wall tags, evading cops, and vibing to a retro-futuristic funk beat that hits harder than bad karaoke on heartbreak night.
Gameplay is pure style:
- Tony Hawk meets Jet Set Radio
- Unlockable tricks and gear
- City-wide exploration with verticality and challenges
It’s fun, fast, and dripping with attitude. Play it when you’re burned out on intense shooters or gritty RPGs and just want to feel cool.
Hot Tip: Play with headphones. Trust us, that soundtrack deserves your ears.
4. Destiny 2: The Final Shape
Available: May 28 – June 30
Platform: PS4, PS5
Tier: All PS Plus Subscribers
Destiny 2: The Final Shape is the culmination of a ten-year narrative that’s been teasing, building, and sometimes confusing everyone since 2014. But now? It’s all out in the open.
The Witness, the Traveler, the Guardians—it all comes to a head in a story expansion packed with:
- New sub-classes
- Massive new raid
- Campaign that answers big questions
- Legendary weapons and gear
Even if you dropped off Destiny years ago, this expansion is the perfect jump-back-in point. It’s designed to onboard returning players with streamlined quests and a revamped tutorial.
Good for:
- Sci-fi lovers
- FPS + RPG fans
- Anyone craving cooperative raids with friends
Pro Tip: Play with friends. Or find a clan. The Final Shape’s best moments shine in coordinated fireteams.
5. Grand Theft Auto III: Remastered
Available: From June 10
Platform: PS4, PS5
Tier: PS Plus Extra & Premium
The OG sandbox crime sim is making a comeback. GTA III Remastered, released as part of PlayStation’s “Days of Play” celebration, brings that gritty Liberty City chaos into sharper resolution without losing the charm of the early 2000s.
They didn’t just polish the visuals—they fixed old bugs, improved the lighting, and reworked the controls for modern sensibilities. It’s smoother, tighter, and perfect for a nostalgia trip with some updated flair.
Why it still rocks:
- That iconic radio soundtrack
- Free to roam, raise chaos, or just dive into the main plot—your call.
- Introduced the formula every GTA game followed
Worth Knowing: This is the start of a summer wave. Rockstar legends like Vice City and San Andreas could land in the later part of the year, so keeping your subscription going might pay off.
