PlayStation Plus June 2026: Every Game Joining Extra, Premium, and Essential This Month

June 2026 is a pivotal month for PlayStation Plus, delivering one of the strongest Game Catalog lineups in recent memory alongside the first full month of the service's updated pricing structure. Subscribers can now claim their Essential monthly games, and a major wave of Extra and Premium titles begins rolling out on a staggered schedule for the first time.

This guide breaks down every title joining the Extra and Premium Game Catalog, the Essential monthly games, what's leaving the service, and the new subscription costs that took effect in May.

PS Plus Extra and Premium: The June 2026 Game Catalog

Sony announced the June Game Catalog lineup on June 10, introducing a significant change: subscribers in the U.S., UK, and Japan will now see games added on a staggered basis rather than all at once, similar to the Xbox Game Pass model . In all other regions, the full lineup arrives on June 16 .

Headlining the month is Final Fantasy XVI, Square Enix's dark fantasy action-RPG that originally launched as a PS5 exclusive in 2023 . The game follows Clive Rosfield through the war-torn land of Valisthea, featuring real-time combat powered by towering Eikon battles. It will be available to Extra and Premium members globally on June 16 .

Sonic X Shadow Generations arrives first in the staggered schedule, launching June 10 in the U.S. and UK, and June 11 in Japan . The package includes a completely new standalone campaign following Shadow the Hedgehog's backstory alongside a remastered version of the 2011 platformer Sonic Generations with upgraded visuals and bonus content .

Two major titles follow on June 23 in the staggered regions: Kingdom Come: Deliverance brings its gritty open-world medieval RPG to the catalog, with the PS5 version featuring 4K resolution and improved textures, while Life is Strange: Double Exposure lets players investigate a mystery across two parallel realities in the latest narrative adventure from Deck Nine . Outside the U.S., UK, and Japan, both games arrive on June 16 .

The final wave on June 30 adds Farming Simulator 25, Blades of Fire, and the MMORPG Black Desert . Additionally, Destiny 2: Legacy Collection 2025 is available now for Extra and Premium members, granting access to multiple years of expansions ahead of the main June rollout .

For Premium subscribers, the lone Classics addition is Gitaroo Man, the cult-classic PS2 rhythm game arriving globally on June 16, where players transform into a guitar-wielding hero battling through music .

PS Plus Essential: June 2026 Monthly Games

The Essential tier lineup went live on June 2 and remains claimable until July 6 :

• Grounded: Fully Yoked Edition (PS5, PS4) — Obsidian Entertainment's cooperative survival game makes a surprising appearance as an Xbox Game Studios title on PlayStation Plus. Shrunk to insect size, players must build, craft, and survive in a hostile backyard. The Fully Yoked Edition bundles all post-launch updates .

As a bonus, EA Sports FC 26 remains available to claim through June 16, receiving a major "The World's Game" update on June 4 that coincides with the summer soccer tournament .

Leaving PS Plus On June 16

Five titles will leave the Extra and Premium Game Catalog on June 16 :

PlayStation Plus Pricing After the May 2026 Increase

Sony raised subscription prices for new customers on May 20, 2026, citing "ongoing market conditions" . The increase affects one-month and three-month plans across all tiers, while existing subscribers keep their current rates unless they change plans or let their subscription lapse .

Initially announced for the Essential tier only, Sony confirmed days later that Extra and Premium were also affected . Annual 12-month plans appear unchanged for now .

New monthly pricing for U.S. subscribers:

Tier	1-Month Price (New)
Essential	$10.99
Extra	$16.99
Premium	$19.99

Monthly Essential pricing in Europe now starts at €9.99/£7.99, with three-month plans at €27.99/£21.99 . Existing subscribers in most regions are shielded from the increase, though users in Turkey and India saw the change applied universally .
