There&#8217;s a very interesting name in the mix this time in the shape of Grounded (PS4 and PS5), which is from the Xbox-owned studio Obsidian Entertainment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Honey, I\u00a0Shrunk The Kids-esque survival title \u2014 which left early access on Xbox and PC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/grounded-release-date-september-2022-184840842.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">in fall 2022<\/a> \u2014 hit PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/former-xbox-exclusive-pentiment-is-coming-to-switch-on-february-22-143345195.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">in April 2024<\/a> after Microsoft loosened its grip on first-party game exclusivity. The Xbox division&#8217;s new leadership team is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/917657\/microsoft-xbox-exclusive-games-windowing-comments-asha-sharma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said to be reassessing<\/a> that strategy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The other two PS Plus Monthly games for June are Nickelodeon All Star Brawl 2 (PS4 and PS5) and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide (PS5). The former is a platform fighting game that features a mix of Nickelodeon characters. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a first-person shooter that&#8217;s billed as a spiritual successor to the Warhammer: Vermintide series.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">All three games will be available for PS Plus users to claim starting on June 2. You&#8217;ll still have until then to snag two of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2160452\/may-playstation-plus-lineup-nine-sols-ea-fc-26-wuchang\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">May&#8217;s games<\/a>, Nine Sols and Wuchang: Fallen Feathers.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The other PS Plus Monthly game from May, EA Sports FC 26, is remaining in the mix a bit longer than usual. You have until June 16 to claim that one. Sony notes EA Sports FC 26 is getting an update on June 4 that will add an international tournament mode featuring 48 national teams. A cynic might be inclined to believe EA is looking to capitalize on a certain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/fifa-23-ea-sports-fc-branding-170729395.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">FIFA-branded<\/a> international soccer tournament that&#8217;s coming up.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Sony also <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/2026\/05\/26\/days-of-play-2026-begins-may-27\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">revealed<\/a> the first June addition to the PS Plus Game Catalog for Extra and Premium subscribers. Destiny 2: Legacy Collection will be available on June 9 \u2014 the same day that Bungie will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2178883\/bungie-will-end-active-development-of-destiny-2-on-june-9\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">release the final update<\/a> for the long-running game as it winds down active development. While the base version of Destiny 2 is free-to-play, this bundle includes all the expansions up until 2024&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/destiny-2s-main-storyline-comes-to-an-end-with-the-final-shape-on-february-27th-165616802.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Final Shape<\/a>, which wrapped up the main storyline. The final two expansions from last year, The Edge of Fate and Renegades, are not included in the Legacy Collection.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Meanwhile, Sony announced the latest Days of Play sale will start on May 27 and run through June 10. It will feature discounts on accessories (such as $100 off a PlayStation VR2 headset) and games including Ghost of Y\u014dtei, Helldivers 2, Death Stranding 2 and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered. There are also discounts on PS Plus memberships for new subscribers and those upgrading to a higher tier. However, it seems like consoles aren&#8217;t included in the sale this time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/gaming\/playstation\/the-ps5-is-getting-more-expensive-again-133141514.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">following the recent price hike<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Destiny 2 collection will join the Game Catalog for Extra and Premium subscribers on June 9. &#13;&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":695166,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[49,48,61],"class_list":["post-695165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/695165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=695165"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/695165\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/695166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=695165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=695165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=695165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
