PS Plus Monthly Games for June 2026
Sony confirmed the June 2026 PlayStation Plus Monthly Games on May 26. The lineup includes three titles: Grounded (Fully Yoked Edition), Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. All three are available to Essential, Extra, and Premium members during the June availability window.
Grounded is the standout pick here. Obsidian's survival game drops you into a backyard shrunk to insect scale, and the Fully Yoked Edition brings the complete post-launch content. It works equally well as a focused solo experience or a co-op game for up to four players — the kind of title that fits naturally across different session lengths. Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 is a platform fighter built around licensed characters, best suited for local multiplayer sessions. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a meaty co-op first-person shooter set in the 40K universe, with class progression and mission variety that rewards repeated play. If you missed it at launch, this is a genuinely worthwhile month to dig in.
One additional note from Sony's announcement: EA SPORTS FC 26, which was included in the May Monthly Games lineup, has an extended claim window through June 16, 2026. If you haven't added it to your library yet, that deadline matters. Our EA SPORTS FC 26 guide covers the PS5-specific features and esports schedule if you want context before claiming.
Days of Play 2026 Begins May 27
Sony's annual Days of Play promotional window opened on May 27, 2026 and runs through June 10. The promotion typically brings discounts on PlayStation Store titles, PlayStation Plus subscription offers, and various community rewards. If you've been considering extending your PS Plus subscription or picking up games from your wishlist, this is historically one of the better windows to act on those decisions.
The promotion runs alongside the June Monthly Games window, which means PS Plus members have both new games to claim and sale pricing active at the same time. Check your regional PlayStation Store directly for current offers, as pricing and availability vary by country. The PS Gaming news hub will carry updates as specific deals and limited-time offers are confirmed during the window.
Myst and Riven Remakes Launch on PS5 and PS VR2
The modern remakes of Myst and Riven launched on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR2 on May 19, 2026. Both titles are puzzle-exploration games with island environments and environmental storytelling — genres that benefit significantly from the PS VR2's immersive presentation. The VR2 versions allow you to explore the iconic puzzle worlds at a scale and depth that the original releases, from the 1990s, couldn't approach.
For players without PS VR2, the flat PS5 versions retain the visual remakes and modern controls. Myst is a good starting point if you're new to either game; Riven is the more ambitious of the two but rewards patience. Both are available now from the PlayStation Store.
State of Play — May 2026
Sony held a State of Play in May 2026, with the official hub updated to reflect that broadcast. While the detailed announcement breakdown sits on the PlayStation Blog, the event is worth revisiting if you follow the upcoming PS5 games pipeline — State of Play presentations in mid-year typically surface concrete release windows for titles targeting the holiday season. With Grand Theft Auto VI arriving November 19 and Sony monitoring memory costs as it plans its next platform, the games pipeline for PS5 remains active through the end of 2026.
What to Do Right Now
Three things have active deadlines worth acting on this week. First, claim EA SPORTS FC 26 before June 16 if you haven't already — it won't return to the monthly lineup and the extended window is an unusual courtesy. Second, add the June Monthly Games to your library as soon as they become available, especially Grounded, which is large enough that early installation planning helps. Third, check the Days of Play sale in your regional store before June 10 closes the window.
For broader PS5 planning context, our PS6 next-gen update from May 8 confirms the PS5 remains Sony's active platform with no next-gen release window announced — which means the current lineup of games and services is exactly where your attention belongs.
Claim windows summary: EA SPORTS FC 26 extended through June 16. June Monthly Games available through early July. Days of Play sale runs through June 10. All dates subject to regional variation — check your PlayStation Store for local availability.
