3 new PlayStation Plus games to play this weekend (June 6-8)
We're fully in showcase season with SGF 2025 starting today and a surprise State of Play happening earlier this week with tons of upcoming PS5 games shown off. Oh, and there's a little console called the Nintendo Switch 2 that just came out as well. But if you're a PlayStation faithful, you will need some games to play this weekend between showcases and while waiting for Death Stranding 2. Last week we got an early drop of PlayStation Plus games, but there's even more that just hit the service this week you might've forgotten about. I've picked out a fresh batch of brand new games you can get lost in over the weekend, so let's get to it.
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
If you have any fond memories of Jet Set Radio, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk was made for you. If you weren't around or missed out on that game, this is more than just a nostalgia play. This is a hip-hop-infused skating and graffiti game that looks and sounds like nothing else. You can choose to play on skates, BMX bikes, and skateboards but none of them are meant to be mechanically challenging. Instead, the game is more focused on style, tagging, and chaining together long strings of insane tricks. The maps might be a little too big and confusing later on, but it has a cool story, fantastic locations, and style all its own.

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and PC.
Alone in the Dark
I hope you read my recommendations last week, where I said it was the perfect time to play Alone in the Dark 2. If not, I'm hurt, but it's okay. Alone in the Dark is a reimagining of the 1992 original so you're totally safe starting here. You can pick between two protagonists: Emily Hartwood, played by Jodie Comer, or Edward Carnby, played by David Harbour. This is a classic third-person horror game with slightly altered events depending on your character. Sadly, the game was met with mixed reviews and stiff competition at the time it came out and developer Pieces Interactive was closed down afterward. While not the best survival horror game I've played, it is still one worth trying for fans of the genre.
Alone in the Dark is available now on PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Myst
There was no predicting Myst and Riven would show up in the Classics catalogue, but that's why I love it so much. These two classic adventure games are the perfect games to go to next if you got hooked on Blue Prince earlier this year. These are first-person puzzle games with very little in the way of instructions, meaning you will need to use your own smarts to overcome the roadblocks. Because these games are on the older side, some of these puzzles are a bit unfair compared to what you might be used to now, so don't feel bad referring to a guide here and there. But, if you want that same satisfaction of working out a devious puzzle with nothing but your own brain power, these two games are exactly what you need.
Myst is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Mobile, and PC.

Wanda Sykes Urges Hollywood to ‘Protect Our Trans Brothers and Sisters' at Critics Choice LGBTQ+ Celebration: ‘That's Our Next Movement'
Comedian Wanda Sykes has a rallying cry for the entertainment industry and beyond: 'Protect our trans brothers and sisters… that's our next movement.' Sykes, who was honored with the Career Achievement Award Tuesday at the Critics Choice Association's 2nd Annual Celebration of LGBTQ+ Cinema & Television, said, 'I believe that's what our community does, we take care of each other… I know that love is stronger than hate… We gotta be prouder, we gotta be louder.' More from Variety Chad Stahelski on the 'John Wick' Franchise's Insane Body Count and Keanu Reeves' Fifth Movie: 'Still Working on It' Chuck Lorre Family Foundation Donates $350,000 to Van Ness Recovery House (EXCLUSIVE) 'Ballerina' Star Ana de Armas Says Tom Cruise 'Supports Every Movie' and 'Really Wants' Audiences to 'Go to the Theaters': 'We Are Working Together' The celebration honored achievements from LGBTQ+ creators and talent within the entertainment industry, showcasing emerging and established talent. Sykes, who is currently on the European leg of her 'Wanda Sykes Please and Thank You' tour, flew in for the event. Accepting the award from 'Wanda Does It' co-star Tim Bagley, Sykes said, 'I can't think of a community that's more loving than who we are. We are just trying to love and exist, and then when you have people from the outside that's attacking you for that, I think that's what makes us stronger.' She added, 'Any adversity makes you stronger, and that's who we are.' Other honorees from the night included Bowen Yang (Comedy Award; 'Saturday Night Live'), Bridget Everett (Ensemble Award; 'Somebody Somewhere'), Eric d'Arbeloff (Industry Leadership Award; Co-President of Roadside Attractions), the Queens of 'RuPaul's Drag Race' (Reality TV Award; 'RuPaul's Drag Race' Season 17), Niecy Nash-Betts (Groundbreaker Award; 'Grotesquerie') and Tramell Tillman (Supporting Performance Award – Drama Series; 'Severance'). Nash-Betts praised the LGBTQ+ community for its support. She said, 'When I was five years old, I said, 'I want to be Black, fabulous and on TV…' and here we are. I want to thank the Critics Choice Association for seeing me, not just for what I play on screen, but for who I am when the cameras stop rolling. You keep going, not for the applause – but for the impact.' She concluded her speech by urging the audience to 'keep breaking ground together until there's not one closet left to hide in.' Yang, who was honored with the Comedy Award, praised his fellow honorees and said, 'While I'm very honored to be receiving this, I do think a Comedy Award is the closest thing that queer people have to a participation trophy. We're all funny. I mean, I've never met a non-funny queer person. It's the way that we relate to each other in a world that's inhospitable at times.' The event took place at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Century City and was hosted by Sherry Cola.
