Leak shows 'Life is Strange' among free PlayStation Plus games for June

June is just around the corner, but Sony has still not revealed the list of free games that will be available to PlayStation Plus subscribers. However, a now-deleted tweet from PlayStation Turkey appears to shed light on a few of next month’s freebies.

Spotted by popular gaming forum NeoGAF, the PlayStation 4 free games for June appear to be Life is Strange and Killing Floor 2. Life is Strange originally released as an episodic title in 2015, which each episode costing $5 — the full season could be purchased at a discount for $20. The game has already sold more than 3 million copies, and developer Dontnod has begun work on a second season, though it’s not clear if it will follow any of the same characters from the original.

Killing Floor 2 is more surprising. The game is only about six months old, and has drawn attention for its ultraviolent gunplay and extremely detailed gore effects. It received a moderately positive critical response, with its core shooting mechanics and multiplayer features earning praise. The game’s lack of modes was criticized, however.

These leaked titles are only the PlayStation 4 freebies that PlayStation Plus subscribers should expect next month. Sony also offers two PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita games, as well, though the games haven’t been as impressive in recent months. May saw the PS3’s Blood Knights and the Vita’s Laser Disco Defenders offered for free. April, meanwhile, offered Invizimals: The Lost Kingdom, a Pokémon-like hated by reviewers and consumers alike.

Should Sony’s other free games match the quality (and price) of its PlayStation 4 offerings, it could give June’s Xbox Games With Gold list a run for its money. Xbox players will have free access to the original Watch Dogs, Assassin’s Creed, Speedrunners, and Dragon Age: Origins next month.

It's Black Friday weekend, so you might have found a good deal on a PlayStation 5, PlayStation VR2, or PS Plus Premium or Extra subscription. If you got that last one, then you're probably looking at the vast catalog of Sony's video game subscription service and wondering where you should start. To help with that, I want to spotlight three great games that came to the higher tiers of PS Plus earlier this month. Download any of these, and that discount you got a PS Plus subscription with will start to feel like a steal.
Dying Light 2

Techland's Dying Light titles are some of the best zombie video games out there. They not only feature some extremely satisfying and brutal combat, but they also have fun open worlds to explore thanks to an intricate parkour system. Dying Light 2: Stay Human goes bigger, giving players more gameplay options, like a paraglider for traversal and the power to change the world and story with certain choices. While we're nearly a month past Halloween at this point, this zombie game is still well worth your time.

Despite modern consoles like the Nintendo Switch continuing to rise in the charts, the PlayStation 2 is still the highest-selling video game console of all time, with new numbers confirmed Tuesday for the first time.

Sony published a console history on the PlayStation website in celebration of PlayStation's 30th anniversary, and it includes a new sales number for the PS2. This brings the total sales up to 160 million. While Nintendo always seems to be nipping at Sony's heels with the Nintendo DS and Switch, the DS still remains the second-highest-selling console at around 154 million followed immediately by the Switch at around 146 million, according to Nintendo's website.

This week, we finally got a massive batch of new games added to the PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra game catalogs. It's a fantastic bunch of titles, thanks to the inclusion of some AAA heavy hitters like Grand Theft Auto V, as well as great retro classics, and even some standout indies. As there's a wealth of games to choose from, you might be having some trouble deciding which ones to check out first. I'd start with any of these three titles, which are all among the best games on PS Plus.
Grand Theft Auto V

Grand Theft Auto V needs little introduction, as it's one of the most iconic and bestselling video games ever. If you haven't played it before, know that this is one of the most entertaining open-world games ever made, with a strong main story about three men drawn back into a life of crime. On top of that, there's its nearly infinite online mode. Whether you're concerned with actually completing missions or just want to drive around and mess with the citizens of Los Santos, GTA V offers some of the most fun sandbox gaming available. Grand Theft Auto VI is poised to release sometime in 2025, so now is the perfect time to revisit the last GTA title to better understand the high bar GTA 6 and every other future release from Rockstar Games will need to live up to.
