GTA3 is coming to PlayStation Plus in big June update

Grand Theft Auto 3
Rockstar Games

June is just around the corner, and that means new PlayStation Plus freebies and even more games added to the catalog and classics collection — including Grand Theft Auto 3. The news comes on the heels of the PlayStation 5 Pro’s first-ever discount, as well as more price cuts for the Days of Play 2025 sale.

The upcoming free titles include:

  • NBA 2K25 on PlayStation 4 and 5 (June 3)
  • Alone in the Dark (2024) for PlayStation 5 (June 3)
  • Bomb Rush Cyberfunk on PlayStation 4 and 5 (June 3)
  • Destiny 2: The Final Shape on PlayStation 4 and 5 (May 28)

Following those four titles, the PlayStation Plus catalog is also receiving some new additions:

  • Another Crab’s Treasure for PlayStation 5 (May 29)
  • Skull and Bones for PlayStation 5 (June 2)
  • Destiny 2: Legacy Collection for PlayStation 4 and 5 (June 4)
  • Grand Theft Auto III for PlayStation 4 and 5 (June 10)

Fans of the recently-released Blue Prince also have something to look forward to in the form of Riven and Myst, both classic puzzlers, and both new additions coming to the classics catalog on June 5.

Two new game trials will be added on May 28, as well. PlayStation 5 players can try out Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, while Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is coming to both PlayStation 4 and 5.

The lineup is nothing to scoff at and has enough to keep gamers across the board entertained for a long while to come. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is a spiritual successor to the cult-classic Jet Set Radio Future, while Skull and Bones is the long-promised ship-based combat game. This month also presents gamers with a fantastic opportunity to try out Destiny 2, with both the Legacy Collection and another expansion making their way to the service.

And if you’re interested in topping off your PlayStation Plus subscription, 12-month plans are going for as much as 33% off during the Days of Play sale.

3 PlayStation Plus games to play this weekend (May 16-19)

The middle of the month is always a bit of an awkward spot when it comes to PlayStation Plus games. Plenty of us will be ripping through Doom: The Dark Ages this weekend, but that kind of gory, heavy metal FPS game isn't for everyone. There's also the sad news we got a few weeks ago about Lost Soul Aside being delayed out of this month, leaving a big hole for us PlayStation gamers. Not to worry, though, because I haven't forgotten my duty of finding the best games in the PlayStation Plus catalogue to make sure you have something amazing to play each and every weekend. For this weekend, I've found an alternative FPS, an overlooked open world adventure, and a more cozy experience. Let's check them out.

3 new PlayStation Plus games to play this weekend (May 9-11)
A list of Jokers stacked together from Balatro.

Our favorite thing about the start of a new month is getting our hands on a fresh batch of PlayStation Plus Essential games. While we only get three new entries per month, whereas the Extra and Premium subscribers get sometimes a dozen games added to the catalog, they are ours to "keep" so long as our subscriptions are active. They also tend to be of higher quality, with this month being a standout in our eyes. For this upcoming weekend, we know you won't have trouble finding something in our list to have fun with but might struggle to decide which of these games you want to dedicate your time to. That's a good problem to have while we wait for Doom: The Dark Ages, but also have a little extra time with Lost Soul Aside getting delayed to the end of August.
