PlayStation Plus Free Games June 2023

Editorial Team

Sony has just announced their next batch of freebies for PlayStation Plus members, and it is quite a mix bag, from basketballs to dinosaurs. So, without further ado, here is the line-up of PlayStation Plus free games June 2023 which will be available for download on Tuesday, June 6.

First, for all those dino-fans, there is Jurassic World Evolution 2 for both the PS4 and PS5, the sequel to the 2018 Jurassic World Evolution. In this business simulation game, build your own Jurassic World from 75 prehistoric species, help them grow and keep them happy, and handle problems such as loose dinosaurs and sabotage from rivals.

Next, for those who prefer balls over dinosaurs, there is NBA 2K23, the latest in the NBA 2K series, available for both PS4 and PS5. The game reintroduces the Jordan Challenge, as well as the chance to warp back time to various 1980s and 1990s seasons in the MyNBA career.

Lastly, also for both PS4 and PS5, thereā€™s Trek to Yomi a side-scrolling action title developed by Flying Wild Hog and released last year. Taking place during the Edo era of feudal Japan, players control Hiroki, a young swordsman on a quest for vengeance.

All three PlayStation Plus free games June 2023 titles have a platinum trophy to unlock.

Among them, the platinum for Trek to Yomi is perhaps the quickest to obtain, requiring around 15-20 hours of gameplay. The game itself is not too long, but will require 2.5 playthroughs, one of which on Ronin (hard) mode, which can be tough.

For those of you who have already platinumed the 2018 Jurassic World Evolution, then completing Jurassic World Evolution 2 should not be too much of a problem. However, it has been reported that the platinum for this sequel is a little more challenging and time consuming than the previous installment.

The difficulty in obtaining the platinum for NBA 2K23 entirely depends on your previous experience with this basketball series. However, it should be noted that the serverā€™s closure has already been announced. After December 31st, 2024, the online trophies ā€“ and therefore the platinum ā€“ will become unobtainable.

Flowers are blooming, which means plenty of pollen which do wonders for our allergies. So why stay outdoors hacking and sneezing, when we can stay inside and play some games? Sony can help with that, as they have just announced their next line-up of freebies for PlayStation Plus free games May 2023 available for download on Tuesday, May 2.

First, for both the PS4 and PS5, thereā€™s Grid Legends, the racing game developed by Codemasters and released just last year. With over 130 tracks from both real circuits to various cities, and over 100 vehicles to choose from, players can engage in the story-focused career mode, or race with up to 22 players online.

Also, for both the PS4 and PS5, thereā€™s Chivalry 2, the sequel to the 2012 Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, developed by Torn Banner Studios. Select either first or third person view, chose your medieval melee weapon, and enter the multiplayer battle in this hack-and-slash video game.

Lastly, also for both PS4 and PS5, thereā€™s Descenders, the 2019 cycling game developed by RageSquid. Racers participate in downhill mountain biking in a range of different environments that are procedurally generated, while completing objectives such as performing tricks or finishing under a certain time.

All three PlayStation Plus free games May 2023 have a platinum trophy to unlock.

The platinum for Grid Legends is perhaps the easiest to obtain, as there are no online trophies to worry about, and the races can be played on easy. However, be warned that you will need around 60-70 hours of gameplay.

The platinum trophy for Chivalry 2 is of average difficulty. If boosting the online trophies, the platinum can be obtained in around 45 hours, though expect around 70-80 hours of unlocking trophies legitimately.

Lastly, Descenders has some tricky trophies which require excellent skills and near-perfect runs. While the platinum can technically be obtained in around 30 hours, expect far more depending on your skills and patience.

Happy St. Patrickā€™s Day! And to celebrate this Irish holiday, Sony is releasing a new set of freebies for PlayStation Plus members which have nothing to do with Ireland or St. Patrick. But hey, free games are free games, right? And so, here is the next line-up of PlayStation Plus free games April 2023 available for download on Tuesday, April 4.

First, for both the PS4 and PS5, thereā€™s Sackboy: A Big Adventure, the platformer developed by Sumo Digital, and a spinoff from the LittleBigPlanet series. Take control of Sackboy as he ventures through Craftworld on an adventure to stop the evil Vex from enslaving the Sackpeople. Unlike the 2.5D style of the LittleBigPlanet titles, Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a 3D platformer with plenty of abilities, moves, and even combos that Sackboy can perform.

Next, also for both the PS4 and PS5, thereā€™s Meet Your Maker, a new title by Behavior Interactive being first released as a PlayStation Plus free game. In this first-person shooter, enter a post-apocalyptic world where players must work together to construct an outpost while invading outposts of the other players.

Lastly, also for both PS4 and PS5, thereā€™s Tails of Iron developed by Odd Bug Studio. Players control a rat named Redgi who must save the kingdom from evil frogs in this side-scrolling RPG featuring storybook-like graphics.

All three titles in the PlayStation Plus free games April 2023 line-up have platinum trophies.

Among these, Tails of Iron is arguably the easiest platinum of the three, and only requires around 10-15 hours of gameplay.

The platinum for Meet Your Maker is of average difficulty, though will take around 50-60 hours of gameplay, due to fair amount of required grinding.

Obtaining the platinum for Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a little above average difficulty due to some tricky trophies, though requires only around 25-30 hours of gameplay, depending on your skills.

Happy Valentineā€™s Day! And to celebrate the romance in the air, Sony is releasing three very romantic games for their next batch of freebies. And by very romantic, we mean not at all. But still worth checking out! And so, here is the next line-up of PlayStation Plus free games March 2023 available for download on Tuesday, March 7.

First, for both the PS4 and PS5, thereā€™s Battlefield 2042, last yearā€™s title in the Battlefield series. As the twelfth main installment, Battlefield 2042 differs from previous titles in that the game is solely multiplayer. Use an arsenal of futuristic weapons as you take down enemies in first-person shooting combat with three main gameplay modes.

Also, for the PS4, thereā€™s Minecraft Dungeons. This spin-off from the Minecraft game was released in 2020. The game is a dungeon crawler with point-and-click hack and slash action which can be played solo or with a friend.

Lastly, for the PS4, thereā€™s Code Vein, the 2019 action-RPG developed by Bandai Namco Studios. Inspired by such titles as Dark Souls and God Eater 3, the game is set in a post-apocalyptic dystopian open-world, where human corpses are brought back to life to fight emerging monsters.

All three titles in the PlayStation Plus free games March 2023 line-up have Platinum trophies to unlock.

Among them, Minecraft Dungeons is by far the easiest Platinum. Not a particularly difficult game, the Platinum will take between 15-20 hours depending on whether you play co-op or take your time in solo.

Code Vein is also not a particularly difficult Platinum. However, due to obtaining the required multiple endings, as well as a there being a trophy which requires grinding, expect around 75 hours of gameplay for this one.

Lastly, as you might expect from a multiplayer first-person shooter, the Platinum trophy for Battlefield 2042 is not an easy one to acquire, and will take well over 100 hours of gameplay. Players have also reported that some modes are void of players, which makes unlocking trophies all the more difficult.

Have any of you set some New Yearā€™s Resolutions? Did those Resolutions happen to be related to trophy hunting? If so, Sony could help you with that, as they have just announced their next roll-out of PlayStation Plus free games February 2023 available for download on Tuesday, February 7.

First, for both the PS4 and PS5, thereā€™s the multiplayer survival horror Evil Dead: The Game.

Among the PlayStation Plus free games February 2023 line-up, Mafia: Definitive Edition, Evil Dead: The Game, and OlliOlli World each of a Platinum trophy to unlock. Also, it should be noted that the Destiny 2 expansion Beyond Light does not include any additional trophies.

Among these three Platinums, the easiest to acquire would be for Mafia: Definitive Edition. The Platinum for this title is of average difficulty, and only requires around 20 hours of gameplay.

Unlocking the Platinum for Evil Dead: The Game is not exactly difficult in itself, though it will require many hours of gameplay ā€“ well over 100 hours.
