Sony has revealed the PS Plus Extra and Premium lineup for June 2026, headlined by Final Fantasy XVI and Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Eight games join the catalog, but a staggered release experiment in the US, UK, and Japan spreads them across four dates.
Sony has officially revealed the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium game catalog additions for June 2026, and it is one of the strongest monthly lineups in recent memory. Eight titles are joining the service, led by Square Enix’s action RPG Final Fantasy XVI and the historically grounded medieval RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance. The announcement also introduces a controversial new staggered delivery experiment in the US, UK, and Japan.
Complete List of PS Plus Extra and Premium Games for June 2026
Seven games join the Extra catalog, while Premium subscribers get one additional classic title. Here is the full lineup with platform details and regional availability:
| Game | Platform | US / UK / Japan | All Other Regions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Final Fantasy XVI | PS5 | June 16 | June 16 |
| Sonic X Shadow Generations | PS5, PS4 | June 10 (US/UK) / June 11 (JP) | June 16 |
| Kingdom Come: Deliverance | PS5, PS4 | June 23 | June 16 |

| Black Desert | PS5 | June 30 | June 16 |
| Gitaroo Man (Premium only) | PS5, PS4 | June 16 | June 16 |
Subscribers outside the US, UK, and Japan receive all eight games on a single date: June 16, 2026. This includes all of Europe, Australia, Canada, Latin America, and most of Asia.
Sony’s Staggered Release Experiment: What Changed?
For the first time in the current PS Plus era, Sony is spreading catalog additions across four separate dates in three key markets. Adam Michel, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Director of Content Acquisition and Operations, stated on the PlayStation Blog: “We’re exploring new ways to deliver PlayStation Plus Game Catalog titles in select markets.”
In the US, UK, and Japan, Sonic X Shadow Generations arrived first on June 10 (June 11 in Japan). Final Fantasy XVI and Gitaroo Man follow globally on June 16. Kingdom Come: Deliverance and Life is Strange: Double Exposure land in those three markets on June 23, with Farming Simulator 25, Blades of Fire, and Black Desert arriving last on June 30.
Push Square editor Sammy Barker suggested the rationale is engagement-driven: “If the new releases are spread out throughout the month, it increases the chance you’ll come back weekly to see what’s new.” Sony reportedly wants to monitor data from these three pilot markets before deciding on a wider rollout.
Final Fantasy XVI: The Headline Addition
Square Enix’s Final Fantasy XVI launched in June 2023 as a PS5 exclusive and marked the series’ full pivot to real-time action combat. The game received strong reviews for its fast, reflex-driven combat system and its emotionally driven narrative. The base game offers roughly 35 to 40 hours of story content, with side quests, an arcade mode, and a New Game Plus mode that raises the level cap and introduces new gear. The trophy list contains 50 trophies across the base game, with two paid DLC packs adding 19 more. These DLCs are not included in the PS Plus catalog version.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance Gets a Fresh Start on PS5
Warhorse Studios’ medieval RPG received a PS5 performance patch in February 2026 that unlocked a 60 FPS mode, bringing the game up to modern console standards. Set in 15th-century Bohemia, Kingdom Come: Deliverance stands apart from typical subscription catalog fare with its realistic melee combat, historically accurate world, and slow-burn storytelling. The game is available on both PS4 and PS5 but does not support cross-save between versions. It features 49 base trophies and five separate DLC packs, though DLC content is not included with the PS Plus version.
What Else Is in the June Catalog?
Sonic X Shadow Generations bundles a brand-new Shadow the Hedgehog campaign with a full remaster of the classic Sonic Generations, complete with upgraded visuals and bonus content. Available on PS4 and PS5, the game features 41 trophies and requires at least two playthroughs for the platinum. No trophies are missable.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure is the latest entry in the narrative adventure series, continuing the franchise’s focus on choice-driven storytelling and time mechanics. It is PS5 only and contains 35 trophies, with all non-story trophies obtainable through chapter select.
Blades of Fire is an action adventure game from MercurySteam, the studio behind Metroid Dread. Originally released in May 2025, the game received a substantial 2.0 update in May 2026 that added New Game Plus, a punishing Titanium difficulty tier, and new content. It requires completing the game on Steel difficulty for the platinum, which makes it a significant time commitment. PS5 only.
Farming Simulator 25 brings the latest iteration of the farm management simulation to PS5 subscribers. Black Desert, Pearl Abyss’s long-running MMORPG, joins in its PS5 version only, which features a completely different and shorter trophy list than the discontinued PS4 version. Expect approximately 100 to 150 hours for full trophy completion.
Gitaroo Man: The Premium Classic
Premium subscribers get one additional title this month: Gitaroo Man, a cult rhythm game originally developed by iNiS and published by Koei for the PlayStation 2 in 2001. The game follows a bullied boy who discovers a guitar that transforms him into a legendary warrior. It is playable on both PS5 and PS4. This marks the second consecutive month where the Premium Classics catalog receives only a single game, a pattern that may concern top-tier subscribers expecting more depth from the highest-priced plan.
Bonus Addition: Destiny 2 Legacy Collection
Ahead of the main catalog refresh, Sony added Destiny 2: Legacy Collection (2025) to the Extra and Premium catalog on June 9 as a Days of Play bonus. The collection includes The Final Shape, Lightfall, The Witch Queen, Beyond Light Pack, Shadowkeep Pack, Forsaken Pack, the 30th Anniversary Pack, and several dungeon keys. This arrived just days after Bungie’s Monument of Triumph update, confirmed as Destiny 2’s final live-service content drop.
PS Plus Essential June 2026 Games
The monthly Essential games, available since June 2, are separate from the catalog update and accessible to all PS Plus tiers:
- Grounded: Fully Yoked Edition (PS5, PS4): Obsidian’s co-op survival game where players shrink to insect size and survive in a backyard.
- Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 (PS5, PS4): A platform fighter featuring Nickelodeon characters with roguelike campaign mode.
- Warhammer 40,000: Darktide (PS5): A 4-player co-op FPS set in the Warhammer 40K universe, from the Vermintide developers.
These three games are redeemable until July 6. Additionally, EA Sports FC 26 remains available as an extended Essential offering until June 16.
Games Leaving PS Plus Extra in June 2026
Five titles depart the catalog on June 16, 2026:
- Red Dead Redemption (PS5, PS4)
- Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game – Complete Edition (PS4)
- LEGO The Incredibles (PS4)
- We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie (PS5, PS4)
- Lawn Mowing Simulator (PS5, PS4)
The departure of Red Dead Redemption is the most notable loss. If you have been working through any of these titles, June 16 is your hard deadline to finish or at least add them to your library.
Is PS Plus Extra Worth It This Month?
PS Plus Extra costs $17.99 per month in the US. This month alone adds Final Fantasy XVI and Kingdom Come: Deliverance, two AAA games that would each cost real money individually. Final Fantasy XVI currently retails at $19.99 on the US PlayStation Store (with a limited-time 60% discount that ended June 11). Combined with Sonic X Shadow Generations, Life is Strange: Double Exposure, and the Destiny 2 Legacy Collection bonus, the June 2026 catalog represents substantial value for anyone who has not played these titles yet.
Premium subscribers should weigh whether the single Classics addition of Gitaroo Man justifies the price difference over Extra. The Premium tier continues to lag behind Extra in terms of monthly volume, with only one classic game per month becoming the established pattern.
Things Worth Knowing Before You Download
When do PS Plus Extra games go live in June 2026?
For subscribers in most of Europe, Australia, Canada, and other regions outside the US, UK, and Japan, all eight catalog games arrive on June 16. US, UK, and Japan subscribers receive games across four dates: June 10/11, June 16, June 23, and June 30.
Are Final Fantasy XVI DLCs included?
No. Only the base game is available through PS Plus Extra. Both DLC packs require separate purchase, though they are occasionally discounted on the PlayStation Store.
Do I need PS Plus Premium for Final Fantasy XVI?
No. Final Fantasy XVI is an Extra catalog title, accessible to both Extra and Premium subscribers. Premium is only required for Gitaroo Man.
Will the staggered release schedule become permanent?
Sony has described the June 2026 rollout as an experiment in the US, UK, and Japan. No decision on a wider rollout has been announced. Subscribers outside those three markets are unaffected.
What happens to games I have already added from the catalog?
Once you add a catalog game to your library, it remains accessible as long as your PS Plus Extra or Premium subscription is active. If a game later leaves the catalog, you lose access unless you purchase it separately.
