June 2022 is shaping up to be a landmark month for PS Plus and the overall PlayStation brand. A State of Play is scheduled to take place on June 2, showcasing new third-party PS4 and PS5 games, as well as new titles for PS VR2. On June 7, the three free games for PS Plus will release, and on June 13, the PS Plus Extra and Premium tiers will launch in North America too.
Luckily, Sony has now confirmed what those three games are. Sony’s PS Plus free games for June 2022 lineup previously leaked from the website Areajugones, which was then supported by Dealabs users Billbil-Kun. As many may know by now, Billbil-Kun has leaked accurately leaked the PS Plus games for quite some time now, skipping only a month or two. Leaks should always be taken with a grain of salt, but Sony has now confirmed that PS Plus lineup.
PS Plus will receive three new games on June 7, which will then be available until July 5. These include God of War, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker, and Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. Releasing God of War when many are heavily anticipating its sequel, God of War: Ragnarok, is a smart move. It’s a strong lead-in ahead of the PS Plus Extra and Premium tiers as well.
Meanwhile, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is an online multiplayer game based on the beloved anime, featuring 4v4 battles. It’s the first Naruto game to allow character creation and takes place during the Chunin Exams when Naruto is Hokage. Overall, it should be noted that the game has a “weak” OpenCritic rating, with a top critic average of 64.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is another multiplayer game, this time in a closer vein to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It features characters from several shows like SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Loud House, Invader Zim, Danny Phantom, and Avatar: The Last Airbender. It features a similar rating to Naruto to Boruto, with a top critic average of 65 on OpenCritic.
Of course, if anyone has yet to claim the PS Plus free games for May 2022, they will have until the new games release to do so. The PS Plus free games for May 2022 include FIFA 22, Tribes of Midgard, and Curse of the Dead Gods. It remains to be seen how June ultimately compares to May and is received by fans, but no matter what, PlayStation fans expect a ton of reveals next month.
PS Plus Premium launches on June 13.
