June is here which means another batch of free games is on the way for PlayStation Plus subscribers. As per usual, three titles will be given away during the month of June for all PlayStation Plus members, regardless of the tier.
The free PS Plus games for June 2024 are SpongeBob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake, AEW Fight Forever, and Streets of Rage 4.
Inspired by the hit Nickelodeon animated series, SpongeBob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake is a 3D platformer that follows SpongeBob and Patrick on a journey across several distinctly themed worlds, known as "Wish Worlds," to save their friends and the town of Bikini Bottom. As you progress through the game, SpongeBob will learn new combat and traversal abilities. In addition to the main story, there is the challenge of finding all of the hidden collectibles.
AEW Fight Forever is the debut video game title for the American professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling. Developed by Yukes, AEW Fight Forever features arcade-style gameplay and supports a variety of match types, including singles match, tag team match, ladder match, Casino Battle Royale, and Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch. The game also features online play and intergender wrestling. AEW Fight Forever received mixed reviews upon release, with many praising the fun gameplay but lamenting the lack of true depth or meaningful features. The game has drawn comparisons to AKI's WWF No Mercy game from the early 2000s.
The third and final free game coming this month is Streets of Rage 4. Released in 2020, this side-scrolling beat 'em up from Dotemu is a continuation of Sega's Streets of Rage trilogy that was originally released for the Sega Genesis in the 1990s. If you were a fan of those side-scrolling classics, you'll love Streets of Rage 4 which manages to embrace the nostalgia while still adding its own modern improvements to the series. It's not the longest game, but it looks great and plays well, and even supports four players locally if you want to re-experience that couch co-op feeling from the old days. If you no longer have friends who are local, the game also supports two players online.
All three of these games will be available for all tiers of PS Plus starting on Tuesday, June 4. For Extra and Premium members, you can enjoy the following games that are coming or have already been added to the Game Catalogue:
