PS5 and PS4 Releases: Week of June 16 to 22 Brings Variety

The week of June 16-22, 2025 in the PlayStation universe presents a diverse release schedule, covering titles for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and an addition for PlayStation VR2. Although the list is extensive, most of the titles fall into the independent or niche segment, with some surprises for PS Plus subscribers.

Among the most notable releases this week are:

• Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army (June 19 for PS5, PS4): A re-release that may attract fans of RPG and the Shin Megami Tensei franchise.
• Rematch (June 19 for PS5): A title that deserves attention for its proposal.
• FBC: Firebreak (June 17 for PS5): A shooter that will also make its debut on the PS Plus Extra catalog, offering immediate access to subscribers.
• Gex Trilogy (June 16 for PS5, PS4): The collection of the classic character, which may evoke nostalgia in veteran players.
   

In addition to these, the week reserves a series of other releases for PlayStation platforms:

Despite the volume of independent and niche releases, the absence of major AAA titles in direct retail is noticeable, with Sony seeming to focus its major announcements for PS Plus.

New Additions to PS Plus Extra and Premium Reinforce Catalog

Sony also expands the PS Plus Extra and Premium catalog with several additions starting from June 17, 2025, providing significant additional value for subscribers. Among the games coming to the service are:

• FBC: Firebreak (PS5)
• Battlefield 2042 (PS5, PS4)
• Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2 (PS5)
• theHunter: Call of the Wild (PS4)
• We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie (PS5, PS4)
• Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (PS5, PS4)
• Train Sim World 5 (PS5, PS4)
• Endless Dungeon (PS5, PS4)
• Deus Ex (PS2)
   

The inclusion of Battlefield 2042 may attract a considerable audience, offering a large-scale shooter. For horror fans, Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2 is a relevant addition. The highlight for PS Plus Premium subscribers is the arrival of Deus Ex, a classic from the PlayStation 2, which reinforces the retro game library and provides the opportunity for new players to experience an influential title in the history of games.

The strategy of releasing some games directly on PS Plus, such as FBC: Firebreak, demonstrates Sony's continuity in using the subscription service as a central pillar for content distribution and user retention. While the week may not be rich in high-budget titles outside of the service, the additions to PS Plus ensure that players have new options to explore at no additional cost. This model has proven effective in keeping the user base engaged, although the absence of major retail releases may be felt by those expecting significant news outside of subscriptions.
