Sony Releases 3 Final PS Plus Extra June Games in US, UK, Japan After 2-Week Delay

3 articles · Updated · Push Square · Jun 30

Summary

  • Three PS5 titles — Black Desert, Blades of Fire and Farming Simulator 25 — became available on June 30 in the US, UK and Japan, completing PS Plus Extra's June 2026 lineup there.
  • Sony's new staggered-release experiment split PS5, PS4 and Classic additions across multiple drops in those regions, leaving subscribers waiting up to two weeks after other markets got the same games.
  • Blades of Fire stands out in the final batch because members had flagged it as a key draw; the game recently received a 2.0 patch adding Photo Mode, New Game+ and another difficulty option.
  • The trial also disrupts PS Plus' usual monthly rhythm, with June's final Extra drop landing just one day before Sony is due to announce July 2026's PS Plus Essential games.
