Sony Interactive Entertainment has officially revealed the PlayStation Plus Essential lineup for June 2026. Starting Tuesday, June 2, subscribers can add Grounded Fully Yoked Edition, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide to their digital libraries. The announcement arrives as part of Sony’s broader seasonal updates.
Here is a breakdown of the titles joining the service this coming month:
Grounded: Fully Yoked Edition
Obsidian Entertainment’s survival adventure shrinks players down to the size of insects, thrusting them into a perilous backyard environment. Whether navigating the wilderness solo or teaming up with three friends, you’ll spend your time scavenging for materials, constructing robust bases, and crafting specialized gear to fend off gargantuan threats. The “Fully Yoked Edition” serves as the definitive version of the title following its 2024 content expansion, which introduced daunting ant queens and intricate New Game Plus mechanics. The game is playable on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2
This vibrant platform fighter brings together an iconic cast of Nickelodeon characters for high-octane combat. Building upon its predecessor, the sequel introduces full voice acting, cross-platform play, and a polished visual suite. Newcomers to the roster, including Squidward Tentacles and Jimmy Neutron, join the fray alongside a roguelike story campaign and various party-style minigames. Note that the game is available for PS4 and PS5; however, please be aware that this title is not currently offered via PlayStation Plus in Korea.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide
From the developers behind Vermintide 2 comes this intense, cooperative first-person shooter set in the gritty Warhammer 40,000 universe. You and your squad are deployed on hazardous missions for the Imperium, tasked with purging Nurgle-infested hordes. Between brutal skirmishes, you’ll return to your central hub, The Mourningstar, to upgrade your equipment and prepare for the next bloody assignment. This title is available specifically for the PlayStation 5.
Subscribers still have a brief window to claim the May 2026 offerings—EA Sports FC 26, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, and Nine Sols—before they rotate out on June 1. Please note that EA Sports FC 26 will remain accessible as a monthly bonus until June 16.
As a reminder, the PlayStation Plus Essential tier serves as the foundation of Sony’s subscription service, granting access to online multiplayer, monthly game downloads, cloud storage, and exclusive store discounts. Following recent adjustments, the annual membership is priced at $79.99, with three-month and monthly options available at $27.99 and $10.99, respectively.
