PS Plus Free Game for June 2024: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twicecoming to PS Plus as a free game might be a lot to ask, but it is far past its due for being added to the service. Firstly, Shift Up’sStellar Bladehas been rightfully compared toSekiro, due to its focus on parrying as a core combat mechanic. Additionally,Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC launches in June, so it might be time to finally featureSekiroas one of PS Plus Essential’s free games.
