June is right around the corner, which means we’re on the cusp of another PlayStation Plus update of free goodies for subscribers. This coming update looks like a doozy too, as we’re finally getting PS2 games added to the subscription service, along with a bunch of other titles to celebrate Sony’s Days of Play event.
The PS2 games in question include Tomb Raider Legend, Star Wars: The Clone Wars and most important of all, Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus. Though what state these games are in hasn’t been confirmed at the time of this news post, if it’s anything like the PS1 titles currently on the PlayStation Plus catalogue we can expect save states, rewind functionality, upscaled textures and trophy support. Fingers crossed.
It’s worth noting, you’ll only be able to access these as part of your subscription if you’re signed up for the Premium tier, otherwise all three titles should be available at a reasonably affordable rate to purchase separately on the PlayStation store.
Streets of Sponge: Forever
The remainder of the free titles for June include the very good Streets of Rage 4, the reasonably good AEW: Fight Forever and I guess SpongeBob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake. There’s also some welcome additions for those of us (myself included) who are PSVR2 owners, with Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord and Before Your Eyes leading a pack of VR specific titles headed to the Premium tier.
Extra tier subscribers won’t be left out of the fun either, with indie darling Dredge, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition, Cricket 24 and Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 all headed to the service in the coming days.
You can find the full list of available titles this June via the PlayStation Blog, along with a number of Days of Play events happening across June. Any games take your fancy? Are you downloading Sly Cooper straight away like I am? Let me know in the comments below and on our socials.
