One of the many benefits of subscribing to PlayStation Plus is receiving free games each month. Sony made it a priority to stack its selection of monthly freebies with games that people really want to play. In 2021 alone, Sony gave away Control, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Battlefield V, and Star Wars: Squadrons. But can the growing collection of free PS Plus games be as impressive in 2022?
In June 2022, PS Plus members can grab God of War, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker, and Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl on PS4. There’s also a PS5 version of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl if you managed to snag one of the next-generation consoles.
