PS Plus June 2020: Strong month for shooter fans – Grab 2 top titles

Starting now, the entire PS Plus lineup for June 2020 is finally available for download in the PS Store. As free monthly PS Plus games for PS4, all PS Plus subscribers get 2 high-profile AAA shooters this time. Especially fans of Star Wars and the “Call of Duty” series will be pleased.

These are the new monthly free games from PS Plus in June 2020: In June, the following 2 free PS Plus games for PlayStation 4 await all PS Plus members:

  • Call of Duty: WW II
  • Star Wars Battlefront II

Both titles had already been anticipated or hinted at.

PlayStation itself officially announced CoD: WW II as one of the new monthly free games ahead of time on May 25. Additionally, a seemingly official video leaked, showing Star Wars Battlefront II as the second free game alongside CoD. And as it turned out, this leak was correct.

Contrary to some speculation, CoD was not a bonus title announced early, and there will only be these two games in June.

When can you grab the new PS Plus games in the PlayStation Store? This time it works a bit differently. Call of Duty: WW II was not only announced early – the game has been available for download in the PS Store for all members since May 26. So you can grab it already.

But now, Star Wars Battlefront II is finally available as a free download for all PS Plus subscribers. Both games will be available until July 7 as part of PS Plus – even though CoD started earlier.

Call of Duty: WW II

What’s in Call of Duty: WW II?  Call of Duty: WW II is a first-person shooter from Sledgehammer Games and was released in 2017.

The shooter features a single-player campaign, but the focus of the series clearly lies on the fast-paced multiplayer part. However, fans of the popular Zombie mode among many players will also find enjoyment in WW II.

The game tells the fictional story of a US soldier in World War II, who lands in Normandy on D-Day in 1944 and fights through iconic locations on the Western front with his team all the way to Germany.

In multiplayer, you can expect fast-paced, action-packed yet grounded battles in the traditional style of the CoD series. There, you can compete in various formats and modes against others.

Who’s it worth for Call of Duty: WW II? Basically, for all fans of the Call of Duty series who have missed this installment so far, and for players who generally enjoy fast, solid shooter combat in first-person perspective.

CoD WW II offers numerous multiplayer modes and a variety of maps for every taste. Whether you like team deathmatches, objective-based variants, or cooperative zombie hunting – there’s something for every multiplayer fan.

In short: If you enjoy FPS shooters and can live with the World War II setting, you can’t go wrong with this game – especially not for free.

By the way, if you downloaded CoD: WW II in time, you could benefit from it – even if you can’t really get into the game itself: PS Plus gives points for CoD MW & Warzone, but only if you were fast enough.

There's a new report from Electronic Arts regarding Viking, which was supposed to be the 3rd game in the Star Wars franchise still in development. Viking was expected to be released in autumn 2020. It's the 3rd Star Wars game that has been canceled during development. How did this information come about? The US site Kotaku reports it has spoken with 6 people who have information about EA's internal matters. However, the individuals remain anonymous because they do not have permission to speak to the press about canceled projects. Viking was supposed to be a spinoff of Star Wars: Battlefront. What game is dead? The game was called

The game features an extensive multiplayer with various modes for up to 40 players. There, you can engage in spectacular sci-fi battles on numerous iconic locations of the Star Wars saga, either on foot or as a space pilot.

A single-player campaign is also included, offering a cohesive story that even belongs to the official Star Wars canon. In it, you play as the commander of an imperial special unit but also occasionally take on the roles of Star Wars icons such as Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, or Princess Leia.

Who’s it worth for Star Wars Battlefront II? In short: If you enjoy shooter action and your heart beats for Star Wars, you can’t go wrong with Battlefront II.

You get an authentic backdrop in great visuals, an excellent soundtrack, and a polished gaming experience with well-staged battles. Just recently, SWBF II received its latest update, which has now fulfilled the developers’ vision.

The microtransactions (loot boxes), which once caused so much trouble and frustration and represented the main criticism for many, have been completely overhauled and are now regarded as fair by most players.

It’s definitely worth stopping by this shooter now – especially if you have missed the game so far.
