One is a fun sandbox crime game and one of the most popular video games of all time, but it’s leaving PS Plus soon. The next is the complete version of an excellent samurai action game that is worth playing in the wake ofAssassin’s Creed Shadows’ announcement. Finally, you can play through a narrative adventure horror game that’s getting a remake later this year.
Grand Theft Auto V
Considering thatGrand Theft Auto Vhas sold over 200 million copies, you’ve probably already played this game. If you haven’t, you need to check it out through PS Plus before it leaves the service on June 18. It’s one of the best games ever made, and it sports a gripping crime-drama narrative, a vast sandbox to drive around and mess with people in, and a deep online mode that has over a decade of updates to sift through if you haven’t touched it yet.
While you’ve probably played a version ofGTA Vbefore, don’t take its soon-to-end availability through PS Plus for granted. The PS5 version of the game is included in the service, so you should check that out if you haven’t seen what the current-gen version of the game looks like yet. GTA V is also worth a playthrough ahead of its long-awaited sequel, which we have finally learned iscoming sometime in fall 2025.
The PS4 and PS5 versions ofGrand Theft Auto Vwill be available through PS Plus Extra until June 18. It’s also available on PS3, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut
Sucker Punch Productions’Ghost of Tsushimais a gorgeous-looking open-world action game about a samurai trying to defend his island from a Mongol invasion by any means necessary. The game essentially played like an Assassin’s Creed game set in Japan over four years before thatbecame a reality. It features intense combat and well-done stealth mechanics, although the narrative and visuals are what truly stand out about its adventure.
A sequel has not yet been confirmed and is still likely years out. That said,Ghost of Tsushimais becoming relevant again because the completeDirector’s Cutversion of the gamejust got a PC port. You might be feeling left out if you never had a chance to play the complete version of the game or try it at all, butGhost of Tsushima: Director’s Cutfor PS5 is also available through PS Plus Extra and likely never at risk of leaving because it’s a first-party console exclusive.
Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cutis available on PS5 through PS Plus. The base version of the game is also available on PS4, while theDirector’s Cutis available on PC.
Until Dawn
One of the standouts of the May 30 State of Play was a remake ofUntil Dawn. If you just can’t wait for that game to release later this year, though, the original version of the game is available via PS Plus Extra. If you’re unfamiliar with this game,Until Dawnis essentially a playable horror movie where you determine the choices that characters make, which makes each playthrough feel unique as different characters can live or die.
The game features a tense horror-film-like setup with a remote cabin setting and a scary killer on the loose.Until Dawnalso features a stacked cast of actors, such as Rami Malek, Hayden Panettiere, and Brett Dalton. It’s exciting that this game is getting remade for PS5 and PC, but the original holds up and is still worth playing in 2024.
