Update (31/5/22): Yesterday saw a relatively unknown source come to the surface with a leak of next month’s PS Plus game. Today, the trio of games on their way to the service have now been confirmed by none other than Dealabs – the French retailer that routinely reveals the games early.
So God of War, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker and the Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl are almost confirmed at this point. Again, the retail side has successfully leaked the PS Plus series many, many times before, so with the backup of the previous source, it’s basically a lock.
Original story: Another month, another PS Plus leakage – or so it seems. This latest leak does not come from the usual source – it is actually the Spanish site Areajugones that has scooped, and they have been correct with at least one PS Plus leak in the past (funnily enough, it was the games for June 2021).
So without further ado, here are the three games we are supposed to get for June 2022:
A bit of a strange month, if true, is not it? God of War is clearly the heavy hitter here, but at this point, who has not played through Kratos’ highly esteemed rebirth? It is also set to be a part of PS Plus Extra tier and is already included in PS Plus collection on PS5, which of course lowers its perceived value. But maybe it’s the timing that counts. The expected sequel God of War Ragnarok is still scheduled to launch this year, so Sony power try to get more people on board the hype train. maybe is there a confirmed release date? Hmmm.
Elsewhere, Naruto to Boruto is largely a multiplayer-focused title, with two teams of ninjas fighting for it across anime-infused stages. It’s a solid enough game in our experience, but we’m not sure mainstream subscribers will appreciate its inclusion.
And the same could probably be said about the Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. A decent Smash Bros.-like fighter player by all accounts, but it struggled to maintain any kind of momentum after its release last October. It’s the kind of plateaued, multiplayer-focused title that we see quite a bit of on PS Plus these days.
