PLAYTIME'S OVER

It's part of Sony 's monthly cull that will see the titles vanish from loads of consoles around the world in weeks.

That's because these six titles are being removed from PlayStation Plus.
PS Plus is the popular membership scheme for PlayStation consoles that lets you enjoy online multiplayer.
But it also gets you access to a rolling library of free titles to enjoy.
Now Sony has confirmed that at least six titles are leaving this roster in mid-June, including Monster Hunter Rise.
The list of games vanishing now classified as "Last Chance to Play" titles includes:
After Us
Avicii Invector
Inscryption
Kayak VR: Mirage
Monster Hunter Rise
Rogue Legacy 2
These six games will disappear on June 17, 2025.
These are PS Plus library games – and not free downloads.
That means you don't get to keep them once they're off PS Plus, even if you've downloaded them already.
Once they're out of the PS Plus library, you'll be locked out from playing them.
The only way to get around it would be to actually buy the games at full retail cost.
DON'T MISS IT!
Fans on Reddit were quick to react to the news of the removals.
One wrote: "Highly recommend people dig into Inscryption if they haven't yet. Very addictive and great fun. Don't read up about it before playing."
Another said: "Inscryption is 10/10. Not really into roguelikes or card games, but damn this game is sick. Vibes, loop, puzzles, endgame?! Whole game changes and evolves wtf don't miss out."

One noted: "Finally a month where I'll play every game I wanted to play before the games leave – time to finally give Inscryption a go!
And another added: "Guess I'm buying Rogue Legacy 2 next month, then."
TIME TO PLAY
Of course, a fresh selection of titles will be added to PS Plus in June for gamers to enjoy.
Several titles were added in May 2025 too, including one free download that gamers were warned to avoid.

Karate Kid villain denies sexually harassing woman on set amid ongoing shock biting scandal

Cobra Kai actor Martin Kove last year faced a sexual harassment probe from Sony for his conduct on his set of The Karate Kid adaptation, after a female extra said he made her uncomfortable with his behavior. 'It wasn't true then, and it isn't true now,' the Brooklyn, New York City-born actor, 78, told Deadline on Thursday of the complaints made against him more than a year ago. Sources told the outlet that the extra complained Kove had been 'leering' and 'verbally overt' toward her on the Atlanta set of the adapted film franchise. The woman subsequently complained to producers he was making her feel uncomfortable, and Sony launched a probe into the incident. Reports of the Sony investigation into the actor come after Kove admittedly bit costar Alicia Hannah-Kim at a fan event on June 22 in Puyallup, Washington, claiming he was immersed in their respective roles on the series. Daily Mail has reached out to Kove's reps for further details on the incident. Kove - who portrayed the role of villainous karate instructor John Kreese in the first three Karate Kid film in the 1980s - told the outlet that he didn't do anything wrong. Kove, who has reprised his role of Kreese on 57 episodes of Cobra Kai since 2018, said that he was honest when questioned about his behavior by Sony officials looking into the 2024 claim. 'If there was something to confess, I would be the first to say it,' Kove said. He added: 'Sony did ask me about the alleged incident, and I was completely transparent.' The veteran actor, who has been active in Tinseltown for more that five decades, said the timing of the news going public was suspect. 'This is so bizarre,' he said, 'as it was in April of last year.' According to the outlet, the initial complaint had enough merit to pursue further investigation. A source told Deadline the actor 'was read the riot act' by producers and executives who met with him to discuss the issue as the show filmed its final season. The actor ultimately was 'encouraged by Sony and producers to stay in his trailer' as the situation was sorted out, but that he was never asked to leave the set, insiders told the outlet. Studio officials and producers told Kove he should say sorry to the person who complained about his actions, the outlet reported, adding that it was 'unclear' if he took them up on the suggestion. Kove did not suffer 'any precise consequences' as result of the incident, sources told the outlet, and Kove 'declined to answer questions or confirm details' beyond his earlier remarks. Kove did issue a statement about the June 22 biting incident to the outlet, expressing remorse and regret toward the way he behaved toward Hannah-Kim at the Summer Con event. 'I deeply regret and apologize for my actions regarding the incident with Alicia, a genuinely kind and wonderful person who didn't deserve to be put in this position,' Kove told the outlet. 'I've always respected her and considered her a highly professional and talented co-worker on Cobra Kai. 'I was being playful in the moment but went too far and there is absolutely no excuse for my behavior. I regret my actions for which I take full responsibility for what I did, and again I apologize to her and her husband.' He wrapped up in saying, 'I'm committed to learning from this and it will never happen again.' Cobra Kai, starring Ralph Macchio, William Zabka, Courtney Henggeler, Xolo Maridueña, Tanner Buchanan and Mary Mouser,ran a total of six seasons. The series - was created by Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossber - dropped its last five episodes February 13.

We have to accept the Nintendo Switch 2 is not for hardcore gamers

A reader examines the pros and cons of the Nintendo Switch 2 launch and argues the 2025 line-up is perfect for casual gamers, even if other fans are disappointed. I think a lot of people are starting to realise that the Nintendo Switch 2 launch has been a bit of a let-down. Only one good game and no clue as to what is happening with most of the big franchises. Literally no clue, because how do you follow up the Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom or Super Smash Bros. Ultimate? The formula has already been perfected, so either you reinvent it again or… you do what Nintendo is doing with this year's line-up. I know some fans are holding out for a secret big Christmas game, but I would bet anything there's not going to be one. The games scheduled for this year may look minor and uninteresting to long-time Nintendo fans but I think the truth is they've been very carefully and cleverly chosen. Hardcore fans might be upset at the Switch 2 at the moment, but Nintendo isn't, not with it being the fastest selling console ever, and ordinary people aren't going to be either. Whatever problems you and I might have with Mario Kart World (I'm assuming anyone reading this is at least a relatively hardcore gamer) ordinary people don't see a problem at all. I think that Nintendo might have learned a little to well from Sony and the PlayStation 5. What is the big take away for this generation, from Sony's point of view? That the less you do and say the more you get rewarded. Sony has no competition from Xbox now, so the PlayStation 5 is really the only console to buy. They don't have to do anything to earn people's support, except make less of a mess of things than Xbox, which is not difficult. Nintendo hasn't had any direct competition since the Switch started. If it wasn't for the Wii U you could say they've been untouchable since the Wii in 2006. Nintendo has a captive audience, that likes their stuff and most people are, for good reasons, very happy with how the Switch 1 turned out. So, I really don't see any eventuality where the Switch 2 isn't a massive success or, I should say, doesn't continue to be a massive success. The Switch 2 could probably go its whole generation just being the Mario Kart machine, which the Switch 1 pretty much did. Obviously, there will be other games, they've got Donkey Kong in just a few weeks, but Mario Kart and whatever Mario game they release to tie into the new movie next year is going to keep Nintendo execs in unicorn pâté for a long time to come. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. What I'm saying, is that we need to calm down a bit with wild expectations and then getting upset because those, completely made-up, expectations don't come true. Nintendo's in no hurry with any of this. They don't want to cannibalise sales of the games they've got out this year, which include a Donkey Kong game (that seems close to being a 3D Mario), a Zelda game, a Pokémon game, a Kirby game, and a new Metroid Prime. The Zelda and Pokémon ones are spin-offs, that might not be that great, and I'm not sure anyone cares about Kirby, but on top of that you've got new content for Super Mario Party Jamboree and Kirby And The Forgotten Land this year. That really is all the big hitters, in some form or another, and while hardcore gamers can pick problems with all of them (even Metroid Prime 4, in the sense that it's still basically a Switch 1 game) that is not going to matter to casual gamers. Your average parent looking to see whether the Switch 2 is worth getting their kids for Christmas is going to see it has all these major franchises represented right from the start and they're going to think it's a worthwhile investment. They're not going to complain about the screen not being OLED or whether Game-Key Cards are a good idea, they're going to care that it has all the games their kids like and, despite what they've heard, none of them are £80. More Trending It may not seem that way to the likes of you and me, but I'm afraid to say the Nintendo Switch 2 launch was almost perfect, even if I'm not all that happy with it myself.
