During the State of Play showcase, Sony revealed three classic PS2 games coming to PlayStation Plus Premium over the next three months, as well as a day one Game Catalog title for PlayStation 5.
Gitaroo Man hits the Premium tier on June 16, Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy on July 28, and Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams on August 25. Meanwhile, Sony has picked up Jagex’s Runescape: Dragonwilds as a day one Game Catalog release (Premium and Extra) in the fall, marking the RuneScape IP’s debut on console.
PlayStation Plus Premium PS2 Classics for summer 2026:
Gitaroo Man is a beloved cult-classic rhythm video game originally released for the PS2 in 2001 by Koei and iNiS. You play as U-1, a clumsy, shy boy who transforms into the legendary rock-god Gitaroo Man, using his magical “Gitaroo” instrument to battle bizarre cosmic enemies and save the universe.
Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy is a 2004 action-adventure, third-person shooter developed by Midway Games. Players control Nick Scryer, an elite, brainwashed psychic soldier tasked with infiltrating a terrorist cult known as The Movement.
And Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams is a 2006 action game developed and published by Capcom that serves as the fourth main canonical installment in the classic Onimusha demon-slaying series. The addition of Dawn of Dreams is well-timed, given it comes a month before the release of the next big game in the franchise, Onimusha: Way of the Sword.
It’s worth noting that Sony recently hiked the price of the PS Plus subscription service. Here are the new prices for new customers:
PlayStation Plus May 2026 price rises:
1-Month:
- Premium $19.99 (up from $17.99)
- Extra $16.99 (up from $14.99)
- Essential $10.99 (up from $9.99)
3-Months:
- Premium $54.99 (up from $49.99)
- Extra $43.99 (up from $39.99)
- Essential $27.99 (up from $24.99)
As Sony had announced, these price changes do not apply to current subscribers (except in Turkey and India) unless the existing subscription changes or lapses. The 12-month subscription option remains unchanged.
We’re expecting the full Game Catalog lineup for PS Plus in June 2026 any day now. In the meantime, here’s everything announced at State of Play June 2026 if you need a catch up on what PlayStation has in store.
