Metacritic Score: 87
Indika (PS5)
Indika is a surreal narrative-driven exploration game in an alternate 19th-century Russia. It is a sequel to a young nun story in a strange world of religious visions, ethical questions, and dark humor. It integrates exploration, platforming, and narrative choice, airing the theme of faith, doubt, and identity, in an offbeat, visually striking experience.
Metacritic Score: 82
Harold Halibut (PS5)
Harold Halibut is a crafted, stop-motion influenced narrative adventure in a ship city stuck in the belly of an alien ocean.
Players follow Harold, a lab worker, as he searches for a way off the planet. The game combines exploration, conversational decisions, and genuine storytelling, and brings them all with a one-of-a-kind claymation style.
Metacritic Score: 69
Coral Island (PS5)
Coral Island
is a vibrant farming and life-simulation game where players can grow crops, raise animals, fish, and dive to restore coral reefs. Set in a tropical island community, it emphasizes sustainability, relationship-building, and environmental conservation, blending the charm of classic farm sims with a modern ecological message.
Metacritic Score: 82
PS Plus Premium classics include:
Resident Evil 2
The classic survival horror game from Capcom, released in 1998, follows Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield during a zombie outbreak in Raccoon City. With fixed camera angles, too-tight resource management, and puzzles to solve, it's got a reputation for atmosphere, branching story arms, and how it paved the way for the horror genre.
Metacritic Score: 91
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
This sequel came out in 1999 and revolves around the experience of Jill Valentine fleeing Raccoon City, who is persistently hunted by the powerful Nemesis monster. It achieves its reputation as an action game with dynamic enemy interactions and free choices, and branching paths through combat to match its tension as a survival horror game.
Metacritic Score: 79

How can PS5 players earn an exclusive skin in Battlefield 6 Beta?

But besides all of these, Battlefield 6 has so much to offer to every player. For instance, PS5 players can claim an exclusive Soldier skin, that too without spending a single penny. However, the catch is that PS5 players need to have any kind of active PlayStation Plus subscription in order to avail this deal. Along with the skin, PS Plus members will also grant themselves double XP as well, which will indeed help them in leveling up faster. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Doorstep Car Pickup and Instant Payment Cars24 - Sell Your Car Sell Now Undo Players having an active subscription will instantly become eligible for this offer, as there is no separate process to claim them. PlayStation players already need an active PS Plus subscription to play the multiplayer modes of Battlefield 6. So, it means they have already availed these two rewards for themselves. However, players need to keep in mind that the Soldier Skin will be given away on the day of BF 6's full release, that means on October 10, 2025. But the double XP benefit can be claimed instantly. PS5 players should hurry if they haven't yet logged in to Battlefield 6 yet, because these offers will be available until the second weekend of the open beta phase, which is concluding on August 17, 2025, at 4 AM ET.
