Sony Staggers 8 PS Plus June Releases in US, UK and Japan

2 articles · Updated · Push Square · Jun 10

Summary

  • June 16 remains the global PS Plus Extra update date, but Sony will now drip-feed several titles in the US, UK and Japan through June 30 instead of releasing them all at once.
  • Sonic X Shadow Generations arrives first—June 10 in the US and UK, June 11 in Japan—while Final Fantasy 16 and Gitaroo Man still launch globally on June 16.
  • The staggered rollout then continues with Kingdom Come: Deliverance and Life Is Strange: Double Exposure on June 23, followed by Farming Simulator 25, Blades of Fire and Black Desert on June 30 in those three markets.
  • Sony said only that it is "exploring new ways" to deliver PS Plus Extra additions, offering no reason for the regional change and leaving its biggest territories as a test case for a different release cadence.
