June is almost upon us, which means PS Plus Essential tier subscribers will have a new short-list of free games to try out. Sports fans are in for a treat this time around as the excellent NBA 2K23 is the headliner in June (check out my 9 out of 10 review of the game here). Other additions include Jurassic World Evolution 2 and Trek to Yomi.
Here’s a bit more information about the latest PS Plus Essential titles, which will be available to play on June 3…
NBA 2K23 | PS4, PS5
From Wccftech’s review – “NBA 2K23 builds on last year’s rock-solid entry with some well-considered on-court changes, a deeper, more satisfying career mode, and an array of accessible nostalgia-tweaking content. Most refreshingly, almost none of these additions are designed to push extra spending. If Visual Concepts stays hungry, NBA 2K23 could be the beginning of a new dynasty that would do its cover star proud.”
Jurassic World Evolution 2 | PS4, PS5
From Wccftech’s review – “Jurassic World Evolution 2 expands its prehistoric playground with more dinosaurs, modes, and unique franchise flavor, but it’s all built on a flawed and often frustrating foundation of unbalanced and unpolished mechanics. Jurassic World Evolution 2 is a better game than its predecessor, but it feels like a glorified expansion. Those looking for a more substantial sequel may want to spare the expense this time.”
Trek to Yomi | PS4, PS5
“Trek to Yomi is an ultra-stylised cinematic action-adventure that follows an enthralling story of Hiroki during his fall against the forces of evil. Experience his heroic return to make good on his failed promise to save the people he swore to protect. As a vow to his dying Master, the young swordsman is sworn to protect his town and the people he loves against all threats. Faced with tragedy and bound to duty, the lone samurai must voyage beyond life and death to confront himself and decide his path forward.”
Sony now offers three tiers of PS Plus – Essential for $10 a month, Extra for $15 a month, and Premium for $18 a month. You can explore the games available via each tier and sign up here.
What do you think about June’s PS Plus Essential lineup? If you have even a passing interest in basketball NBA 2K23 is worth a look, but I think I’m going to give Trek to Yomi a spin.
