Sony has announced June 2023’s PlayStation Plus Essential games

Sony Interactive Entertainment has revealed June 2023’s PlayStation Plus Essential games.

June’s first batch of PlayStation Plus games will be NBA 2K23 (PS5, PS4), Jurassic World Evolution 2 (PS5, PS4) and Trek to Yomi (PS5, PS4).

Subscribers will be able to claim the games from June 6 until July 3.

Essential is the entry-level PlayStation Plus membership tier, which offers subscribers access to a few ‘free’ games every month.

Players can continue to play these games even after they’re no longer available to claim at the end of the monthly period as long as they continue to subscribe to PlayStation Plus Essential (or a higher tier).

Once their membership ends, they’ll no longer be able to play these games unless they resubscribe.

May 2023’s PlayStation Plus Essential games are GRID Legends (PS5, PS4), Chivalry 2 (PS5, PS4) and Descenders (PS4). These titles can be claimed until June 6.

Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan said last week that 30% of PlayStation Plus users are subscribed to the more expensive Premium and Extra tiers, which were introduced last summer.

Sony’s Days of Play sale, which kicks off on June 2, will include discounts on PlayStation Plus subscriptions. For both new and current members, all 12-month plans (Essential, Extra, and Premium/Deluxe) will be offered at 25% off.

Current PlayStation Plus Essential and Extra members will also be able to get 25% off 1-month, 3-month, or 12-month memberships when upgrading to a higher tier.
