The official PlayStation team has this week launched the free PlayStation Now games for June 2021, making available the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Virtua Fighter 5, and Slay the Spire. Adam Michel, Senior Manager of Game Services Content at SIE, explains more as well as celebrating the 30th anniversary of Sonic The Hedgehog.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Game of the Year Edition
“PlayStation Now’s June lineup features open world adventuring, 30th anniversary celebrations, the return of a fighting icon, and a compelling combination of roguelike and card building. Starting tomorrow, June 1, you can hunt monsters in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Game of the Year Edition (also known as the Complete Edition), celebrate Sonic’s birthday with a trio of fantastic titles starring the blue hedgehog, battle friends locally or online in Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown, and attempt to Slay the Spire.”
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an action role-playing game developed by CD Projekt Red. The Game of the Year Edition includes the base game, along with its two massive expansions: Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. Players take on the role of Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter known as a Witcher, as he searches for his adopted daughter, who is on the run from the Wild Hunt. The game is renowned for its deep narrative, complex characters, and expansive open world. With over 200 hours of content, it offers an immersive experience that has won numerous Game of the Year awards.
Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown
Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown is a remastered version of the classic fighting game, originally developed by Sega AM2. This edition brings updated graphics and new online features, making it a must-play for fans of the genre. The game retains its deep combat system, which requires skill and strategy to master. Players can choose from a diverse roster of fighters, each with their own unique fighting style. Whether you prefer to play solo or challenge friends online, Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown offers endless hours of competitive fun.
Slay the Spire
Slay the Spire is a unique blend of roguelike gameplay and deck-building mechanics. Developed by MegaCrit, the game challenges players to ascend a spire filled with dangerous enemies and powerful relics. Each run is different, thanks to the game’s procedurally generated levels and the vast array of cards and relics available. Players must carefully build their deck and make strategic decisions to overcome the spire’s challenges. With its addictive gameplay and high replayability, Slay the Spire has become a favorite among indie game enthusiasts.
Celebrating Sonic’s 30th Anniversary
In addition to these exciting titles, PlayStation Now is also celebrating the 30th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog. Fans can enjoy a trio of classic Sonic games, including Sonic Mania, Sonic Forces, and Team Sonic Racing. Sonic Mania is a love letter to the original 2D Sonic games, featuring beautifully crafted levels and fast-paced gameplay. Sonic Forces offers a more modern take on the franchise, with 3D platforming and an engaging story. Team Sonic Racing combines the thrill of kart racing with the iconic characters and vibrant worlds of the Sonic universe.
These additions to PlayStation Now provide a diverse range of gaming experiences, from epic adventures and intense battles to strategic challenges and nostalgic celebrations. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to these titles, June’s lineup offers something for everyone.
