3 excellent PS Plus games to try this weekend (May 31-June 2)

digitaltrends.com:

Hot off the heels of a new State of Play presentation, you’re probably itching to play some games on your PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 this weekend. If you’re a PlayStation Plus Extra or Premium subscriber, you certainly are spoiled for choice. As May turns into June and we continue the season of game reveals, there are three titles available on PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers that I want to highlight.

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 of Assassin’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 that Grand Theft Auto V has 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 of GTA V before, 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 is coming sometime in fall 2025.

The PS4 and PS5 versions of Grand Theft Auto V will be available through PS Plus Extra until
