For publisher 2K, getting this one on PS Plus, and trying to attract as many new players as possible, is probably a sound business strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Next up, we&#8217;ve got the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/alone_in_the_dark\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alone in the Dark<\/a> reboot, which reviewed reasonably well \u2014 although it did suffer from performance woes on PS5 at launch. It&#8217;s joined by something completely different in madcap <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps3\/jet_set_radio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jet Set Radio<\/a> successor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/bomb_rush_cyberfunk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bomb Rush Cyberfunk<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, we&#8217;ve got <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/destiny_2_the_final_shape\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Destiny 2: The Final Shape<\/a>. An undeniably hard sell for anyone who isn&#8217;t already familiar with Bungie&#8217;s ongoing shooter, the expansion was at least well received when it launched last year.<\/p>\n<p>So, what do you think of June 2025&#8217;s PS Plus Essential games?
