Sony announced the PlayStation Plus Essential games for June 2026, featuring Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, Grounded Fully Yoked Edition, and Nickelodeon All Star Brawl 2, available for subscribers starting June 2.
Sony has revealed the PlayStation Plus Essential games for June 2026, and the upcoming monthly drop leans heavily into cooperative multiplayer. Subscribers across PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 will be able to claim Obsidian Entertainment's backyard survival adventure Grounded Fully Yoked Edition, the platform fighting sequel Nickelodeon All Star Brawl 2, and Fatshark's intense cooperative shooter Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. Players can add these three titles to their digital libraries starting Tuesday, June 2.
The inclusion of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide brings high-stakes, Left 4 Dead style squad combat to PS5 owners looking for a reliable game night staple with friends. Meanwhile, Grounded offers both solo exploration and four-player online survival building, bolstered by the content updates included in its Fully Yoked version. Nickelodeon All Star Brawl 2 rounds out the selection with full cross-play, a dedicated roguelike campaign, and a roster featuring iconic cartoon characters. Subscribers have until June 1 to grab the current May lineup, though EA Sports FC 26 will remain claimable through June 16.
This monthly drop arrives against the backdrop of recent subscription price increases across all tiers of the service, bringing the Essential tier to $79.99 annually. As subscription services continue to adjust their pricing models, the value proposition of these monthly game drops becomes a central focus for players managing their gaming budgets.
