What games are available? In general, it can be said that Sony often puts together a bundle for PS Plus consisting of a strong title and two weaker games. So far, no official information has been released, so we have to rely on the speculations of fans, YouTubers, and insiders. The final lineup could still change.

For our selection, we compared various opinions and identified the most frequently mentioned titles.

EA Sports FC 26

EA Sports FC 26 is a football simulation from Electronic Arts, where players compete on the virtual pitch with licensed clubs and real professionals from around the world. As a continuous successor to the earlier FIFA series, the title places great emphasis on a realistic representation of the sport, supported by modern animation technologies and complex tactical systems for detailed player roles on the field.

The game offers various core modes for solo and multiplayer, including the traditional career mode where you manage a club as a coach or pursue a career as an individual pro. In the heavily focused Ultimate Team mode, players build their own dream team for online competitions by collecting cards featuring current stars and legends. The offering is complemented by cooperative online modes like Clubs and faster small-field variants that allow for quick, action-packed matches with fewer players on the pitch.

Street Fighter 6

Street Fighter 6 is a fighting game from Capcom, where players battle each other in 2D fights with a selection of well-known series veterans and new characters. The core gameplay is enhanced by the so-called “Drive System,” a mechanic that requires resource management for various attack and defense maneuvers. Visually and musically, the title is strongly influenced by an urban street culture aesthetic.

The game is divided into three main areas: classic versus and arcade modes, the interactive online meeting place “Battle Hub,” and the single-player campaign “World Tour.” In this RPG-like mode, players create their own avatar, explore freely accessible urban areas, and gradually learn the abilities of well-known characters like Ryu or Chun-Li. Additionally, the game features an optional simplified control system to facilitate newcomers’ entry into the mechanics.

Hades

In the action roguelike Hades from Supergiant Games, you take on the role of Zagreus, the rebellious son of the god of the underworld, and fight your way through the Greek underworld to escape. Your journey takes you through randomly generated levels full of mythical monsters and challenging bosses, while family members from Olympus regularly support you with powerful blessings and unique abilities.

The title stands out with a masterful combination of fast-paced tactical combat and a profound story that is closely intertwined with the cycle of death and rebirth. Even if an escape attempt fails, the narrative continues: with each new attempt, you unlock not only permanent upgrades but also experience fresh dialogues and deepen relationships with the many fascinating characters from Greek mythology.
