PlayStation Plus users will be losing out on 12 games in June, and one of them is a must-play if you’re a fan of open-world action adventures from 2013.

Grand Theft Auto 5 is widely considered to be one of the most iconic games all time, and it’s definitely the best Grand Theft Auto game. It’s also easy to play on nearly any platform (minus Nintendo Switch, of course). It even received a next-gen upgrade for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2022. That said, if you have a PlayStation Plus subscription and wanted to play it at some point — or just wanted to get a session or two in before Grand Theft Auto 6 — you’ll have until June 12 to do so.

This is just one of 12 PS5 and PS4 games leaving the service in June from the PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium tiers. Here’s the full list.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (PS4)
DC League of Super-Pets: The Adventures of Krypto and Ace (PS4)
Dodgeball Academia (PS4)
Grand Theft Auto V (PS5, PS4)
Indivisible (PS4)
Monster Jam Steel Titans (PS4)
MotoGP 23 (PS5, PS4)
SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated (PS4)
The Talos Principle: Deluxe Edition (PS4)
The Wild at Heart (PS4)
Unturned (PS4)

PS Plus Premium

Baja: Edge of Control HD (PS4)

Grand Theft Auto 5 is the biggest, most recognizable game on this list, but Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, a game also coincidentally released in 2013, is also leaving in June. This puzzle game is known for its unique mechanics, which involve controlling two brothers separately to solve puzzles. A remake was released back in February. Or why not check out The Wild at Heart, an overlooked indie gem from 2021?

PlayStation State of Play returns this week, will feature 14 PS5 games

Three colorful PS5s float together in a line.

PlayStation will kick off the summer of digital video game reveal streams this week with a State of Play broadcast. The stream will take place at 3 p.m. PT on Thursday, May 30.

State of Play is one of Sony's primary livestream presentation formats. It tends to be slightly shorter than the company's flagship stream, the PlayStation Showcase. This State of Play is a significant one, though, as Sony's slate of first-party games for 2024 is entirely unknown at this stage. This stream should shed some light on what's coming later this year.

PS Plus is is adding more games than usual to its game library in June. The service will get 14 games, with some rolling out on June 4. That list includes AEW Fight Forever, Tomb Raider: Legend, and five PlayStation VR2 games.

Sony's PS Plus subscription service has been hit-or-miss since its rebrand a few years back. Though its struggled to put out consistent content, especially retro games, its June lineup shows Sony making its biggest push yet to court subscribers. And its bringing some heavy hitters along to help with that.

3 new PS Plus games to play this Memorial Day weekend (May 24-27)

Memorial Day is coming up, so you're probably wondering what games you should play on your PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 over the holiday weekend. Lucky for you, a new batch of games were added to the PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra game catalog earlier this week, and it brought plenty of games well worth your time. Three in particular stand out to me; download them today and try them out over the next few days.

The first is a Western from Rockstar Games that needs little introduction and is a must-play if you haven't experienced it yet. The next is an open-world game that kick-started a new series for Ubisoft and turns 10 next week. Finally, a retro PlayStation 1 game that just came to PlayStation Plus Premium offers up a good time if you enjoy sports or racing games.
