June 2023’s PlayStation Plus Essential games announced

Each month, those subscribed to PlayStation Plus’ Essential tier are able to get their hands on a small selection of PlayStation 4 and PS5 titles. For the month of June, regardless of whether you have a current-gen machine or not, Sony has you covered as all the games being offered are cross-gen releases.

Making the announcement on the PlayStation Blog, Adam Michel, the Director for Content Acquisition and Operations at SIE revealed the full list of games those who are subscribed to PS Plus’ Essential tier will be able to get their hands on come the 6th of June:

• NBA 2K23 | PS4, PS5
• Jurassic World Evolution 2 | PS4, PS5
• Trek to Yomi | PS4, PS5

In most prior months we have seen the Essential offerings include a mix of PS4 titles (playable on PS5 through backwards compatibility) as well as some cross-gen releases – with the occasional PS5 exclusive thrown into the mix. It is therefore rather exciting to see that regardless of whether you have upgraded to a PS5 or not, all of the games on offer will be playable (with PS5 owners benefiting from bespoke current-gen versions).

If you have yet to pick up May’s offerings (GRID Legends, Chivalry 2 and Descenders), you still have a few more days to do so as June’s PS Plus Essential titles will be available to add to your library from the 6th of June until the 3rd of July.
