PS Plus Confirms 5 Surprise Games, Including a Day One Release Coming August 19

Summary

  • PlayStation Plus surprises subscribers with bonus games across all tiers.
  • Premium tier adds Deus Ex: The Conspiracy and upcoming classic games.
  • Exciting day one games like Sword of the Sea and FBC: Firebreak coming soon.

At the recent PlayStation State of Play broadcast, some thrilling updates were unveiled for PlayStation Plus members. Typically, such updates are revealed at only two distinct moments in each month – midway and towards its conclusion. However, Sony has been treating their subscribers to unexpected announcements as well.

The initial unexpected reveal about PlayStation Plus came during the ongoing Days of Play celebration. Games have been incorporated into the fundamental, expanded, and premium levels of the service, with Essential members receiving access to titles like Destiny 2: The Final Shape, and Extra and Premium subscribers gaining access to games such as Another Crab’s Treasure. More additions are on the way as part of the Days of Play PS Plus bonus games, making the service even more enticing for subscribers in the days ahead.

During the recent State of Play broadcast, it was announced that starting June 17, the PS2 title “Deux Ex: The Conspiracy” will become available for PlayStation Plus Premium members. Additionally, on July 15, PS Plus Premium users can anticipate playing both “Twisted Metal 3” and “Twisted Metal 4”. As for the summer season, the classic PS1 games “Resident Evil 2” and “Resident Evil 3” will be joining the lineup. Moreover, starting August 19, subscribers of both PS Plus Extra and Premium tiers can enjoy the day-one release of the game titled “Sword of the Sea”. In summary, PlayStation Plus subscribers have a lot to look forward to over the next few months!

Upcoming PS Plus Games

  • Deus Ex: The Conspiracy – June 17 (Premium)
  • FBC: Firebreak – June 17
  • Twisted Metal 3 – July 15 (Premium)
  • Twisted Metal 4 – July 15 (Premium)
  • Sword of the Sea – August 19
  • Resident Evil 2 – Summer 2025 (Premium)
  • Resident Evil 3 – Summer 2025 (Premium)

For those yet unfamiliar, “Sword of the Sea” is the latest creation from the artist behind games such as “Abzu“, “The Pathless“, and the renowned “Journey“. Unlike these titles where movement is primarily on foot or with animals, in “Sword of the Sea“, players navigate the environment using a sword instead. This action-adventure/platformer game pays homage to classic skateboarding games like the “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater” series, but replaces the skateboards with swords for travel. The visuals in “Sword of the Sea” are breathtakingly beautiful and promises to be a valuable addition to the PS Plus Extra library upon its release on August 19th.

Apart from “Sword of the Sea,” there are more exciting games coming to PlayStation Plus on June 17. This day also marks the addition of “Deus Ex: The Conspiracy” to the Premium tier. In addition to that, subscribers can enjoy playing “FBC: Firebreak” as a day one game. Hailing from Remedy Entertainment, the creators of “Alan Wake” and “Control,” this co-op FPS is set in the same universe as those games. Alongside “Sword of the Sea” and the classic games joining PS Plus Premium, this summer promises to be a fantastic time for PlayStation gamers!
