After months of disappointing PlayStation Plus updates, the drought is finally over! While the new PS Plus refresh doesn’t feature any major new AAA titles, it’s packed with underrated gems. Here are the best games featured in the PlayStation Plus June 2025 library.
PlayStation Plus Catalog in June 2025
Our PS Plus Game Recommendations
So yeah, this is the first PlayStation Plus month that I genuinely think has been good in over half a year. It’s definitely a massive improvement over last month’s weak PS Plus catalog. It also doesn’t help that Xbox Game Pass has been on fire lately. They literally had Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and DOOM: The Dark Ages back-to-back. That said, PlayStation Plus in June 2025 has some really great games worth checking out.
‘Destiny 2: The Final Shape’
While I know Bungie has been in hot water lately due to Marathon controversies, I still can’t recommend Destiny 2 enough. Even if you don’t plan on playing the online multiplayer full time, it’s worth experiencing the shooter’s incredible gameplay and story dungeons at least once. This is also the perfect time for relapsed players to return to “finish the fight” and see how the game’s main story comes to an end.
Destiny 2: The Final Shape is also just a genuinely incredible campaign that is worth playing just for the story. If you are a new player, PlayStation Plus will also feature Destiny 2: Legacy Collection on June 4. This will give you a pretty solid crash course on everything leading up to the The Final Shape expansion. Again I know even the Destiny 2 community is a bit burnt out on the game, but this is a great get for PS Plus subscribers.
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
The next game I want to shout out is Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. If you’re a fan of SEGA’s Jet Set Radio, this is basically a spiritual successor to the 2000s game. I still remember playing JSR for the first time on my OG Xbox console, so I can confirm that Bomb Rush Cyberfunk totally scratches that nostalgic itch—and it’s also a really great game.
The final title I want to personally recommend is Another Crab’s Treasure. When I first heard that an indie studio had made a Dark Souls-style game with underwater sea creatures, I scoffed. But the game is a legitimate Soulslike. Except it’s both challenging and charming. The entire ‘shell system,’ where your crab swaps out various items on its back to power up its stats, is actually genius. That said, I do warn that the game is deceptively challenging, especially given its cutesy graphics.
And of course, there’s also NBA 2K25. I’m not a sports guy by any means, but I know these games are always pushing the boundaries of graphics on the PS5. I imagine most sports fans probably already own the game, but it’s still a pretty big title for Sony to include in their subscription service. Plus, if you’ve picked up the newly discounted PS5 Pro console, it’s the perfect game to show off those HDR graphics!
