PS Plus Essential June 2023 release time and free games confirmed, including NBA 2K23

The PS Plus Essential June 2023 lineup launches today for subscribers, here's when you can get your hands on the three titles available this month.

It's the first Tuesday of the month, which means a new selection of PS5 and PS4 titles will be available for PS Plus Essential subscribers today. The three games joining the service this month were announced last Wednesday and includes the dinosaur management sim Jurassic World Evolution 2 which features many of the cast members from the iconic film franchise. There's also and the Akira Kurosawa -inspired indie action game Trek to Yomi which comes courtesy of Shadow Warrior and Evil West developers Flying Wild Hog.

The latest NBA game in the long-running NBA 2K series, NBA 2K23 is also available this month. The newest title in the series retells the story of Michael Jordan's rise through the NBA, and is a solid time as far as sports games go, even if it is laden with microtransactions like the majority of 2K Sports titles seem to be. It's a great game to dig into over the summer if you're not struggling to find time between the bombardment of huge AAA releases releasing on PS5 this month like Street Fighter 6, Diablo 4, and Final Fantasy 16.

PS Plus Essential June 2023 free games release time.

PS Plus titles typically release at 10am BST / 5am EDT / 2am PDT on the first Tuesday of every month which lands on Tuesday, June 6 this month (which is today!). Sometimes the PS Plus section on the PlayStation website is a bit slow however, but the titles should be available to download for free if you search for them and go to the store page.
