June’s Free PS Plus Games are Borderlands: The Handsome Collection and Sonic Mania

Revisit Gearbox’s hit FPS series, or indulge in some vintage platforming action with June's PS Plus games

[Neonridr]

already got Sonic on my Switch but will definitely pick up Borderlands.

[darthv72]

I know that PS+ and GwG often cross paths so if Sonic mania is this month for + then it may be coming to GwG next or the one after.

[Neonridr]

not sure why I got disagrees for stating my own personal situation. Sonic is a great game, I implore everyone who doesn't own it to pick it up for their PS4. I already own it so I don't need it again.

Maybe Borderlands is a bad idea to pick up? I dunno.. Sometimes I wonder about this place, lol.

[zahdab]

rarely get the same games on gwg and ps+ not sure what you are referring too ... very few games were in common

[darthv72]

@zahdab, yeah... they do. it happened more often when + was giving away PS3 games but it does and has happened a few times.

[jsnyder82]

People here are not the brightest sometimes. But that's anywhere on the internet.

[Neonridr]

I mean I get that some people have an issue with me because I support Nintendo as well. But it was a pretty neutral comment to have that many disagrees with. Probably because I mentioned my Switch.

[RememberThe357]

I think people are just disappointed with the games Sony has been offering since they cut out PS3 and Vita games. They have been pretty weak offerings lately.

[Fluttershy77]

yeah you know... I find equally annoying people whining because they got dislikes: what do they care, -I say- is just a number on the right... Do they need to be loved by everyone? Is such a childish mentality:
"Ohhh people do not agree with me, they think I'm stupid, so my opinion doesn't have a value because they don't agree..."
Is just a number on the right part of your comment, that's it

[Neonridr]

no it's true. I was just curious why I guess. I mean I didn't make any outlandish statement. Just said I was going to pick up Borderlands. Was just a little strange I guess. It's one thing when I make a statement that I know I will get agrees or disagrees for.

[Sgt_Slaughter]

Oh no you mentioned a Nintendo system, time for the Sony army to dislike

[MajorLazer]

Very pleased with these offerings. Last few months have been mediocre to downright terrible

[ReVibe]

It's N4G man, the down arrow is simply a troll count.

[conanlifts]

"not sure why I got disagrees for stating my own personal situation"
You have been around long enough to know disagrees are common when you mention a different platform. Its the mentality here, you can only like and support one thing at a time (try being an xbox fan on here).
Not played either of these yet so I will get them on my ps4. Hopefully as darth says sonic will also come to GWG so my kids can play it on their console. Its a good month yet again.

[Teflon02]

I'm sure it's more of the fact saying you have Sonic on Switch means you won't add Sonic to your PS4 downloads which honestly is a head scratcher. I mean, On any platform, if I'm paying and getting free games I add it to my games library whether I own on another platform or not. The amount of games I got on Humble Bundle or Fanatical etc. That I already own on Switch or PS4 is pretty ridiculous to the point almost every multiplat I own that has a PC version I own on it. I own games on PS4 physical and still add the ps plus game to my downloads. Like I believe Gravity Rush 1 was given before? I own it physical on Vita. I have Ratchet PS4 on plus but own it as well. Same with LBP3. It's just a odd thing to say. Alot are probably not happy about mentioning you bought something on switch over PS4. But if I was going to like or dislike, I'd probably dislike because it didn't make sense to not "pick it up" as you don't own on ps4. Even if you never play that version

[Neonridr]

I mean sure.. I could get it on my PS4. But I am not exactly going to play it there. Fair enough, thanks for the thinking there.

[gangsta_red]

Meh...not a good month for PSplus

[Greg2801]

Maybe not for you. Great month for me tho

[RememberThe357]

You're actually excited for Sonic Mania? Handsome Jack collection is legit though, had a lot of fun with that one.

[Ghostbob]

Yes it is

[Razzer]

lol....come on dude. That is damn good month.

[gangsta_red]

Damn good month? Going to seriously disagree with that one.

But hey, different strokes and all.

[pwnmaster3000]

Yeah I’m pretty glad borderland is there. I always wanted to try borderlands again, hopefully the player count goes up. I don’t remember. Is there matchmaking for this game? I usually played with a friend.

[2pacalypsenow]

Huh?

What you expect Death Stranding and The last of us 2?

Borderlands is a good game for PS+

[gangsta_red]

"What you expect Death Stranding and The last of us 2?"

I was actually expecting God of War 6 and Agent 2 with a bonus of Deep Down 4.
So much for expectations, what a let down

[dumahim]

And not just one Borderlands game, two of them with ALL the DLC.

[NarutoFox]

@Gangsta_red
Microsoft has been letting us down this whole generation. You should use your red ranger powers to make them step up their game.

[gangsta_red]

@naruto

Oh no! The dreaded "Quick, talk about Microsoft" genjutsu!!

Lucky I can counter that with my "tryharder" ninjutsu.

[NarutoFox]

"tryharder"

@Gangsta_red

Tell that to Microsoft. I'll help you out if you like.

[Dirtnapstor]

Good month. But you probably own both already. Been there too.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I already got Border Lands on PC, and I was going to get Sonic Mania for Nintendo Switch, but I'll take these as well anyway.

[uth11]

Yeah i know! i was hoping for Anthem and Fallout 76 myself.

[Pennywise138]

Well they did already give both borderlands 1 and 2 back on the ps3 for ps plus so it is a bit of a double dip. That was back when borderlands 2 was relatively new and ps plus had like 12 games at a time available for download and they were almost all bangers.

[blackblades]

Wtf get your stupid gangsta red as out of here. These are good games that I actually was going to buy. Its freaking sonic dude, not that 06 crap.

[lellkay]

You must be nuts.

[1nsomniac]

I agree Borderlands is a shower of shite, but I'll give Sonic a go!

[MrSec84]

Nonsense!!

This is a phenomenal month, all great!!!

[ILostMyMind]

Maybe PS+ is not working well on your XBO.

[TheSaint]

Borderlands 2 is one of the biggest and most played games of recent times, just because you're not a fan doesn't make it 'bad'.

[Inzo]

Down voted to break the 99 down vote mark to give 100....you're welcome.

[Eonjay]

I'm actually more excited this month than last.

[Smokehouse]

Wow great month. I was just thinking about picking up borderlands again on sale. I’m glad I didn’t

[Old McGroin]

Yup, only played Borderlands 2 and was thinking of picking up the Handsome Collection in preparation for B3, great timing! Sonic is cool too.

[rainslacker]

Does borderlands have a SP campaign? I'm not much into the MP stuff, but I always like the art and feel of the series. Also liked Tales from the Borderlands, which is obviously a different style of game.

Sonic Mania is one I'm happy to get though.

[Old McGroin]

Yeah, you can play solo if you want. Co-op is brilliant in Borderlands though, if you pick it up you should give it a shot.

[Smokehouse]

Yup. It’s better with a couple buddies though. I’m hyped because it’s free and they don’t have an excuse not to try it lol. I pulled back on buying it because I didn’t want to play it alone but it’s fully playable on your own.

[rainslacker]

Cool. I'll download it and try it then. I probably already knew that, but I forgot about it among other games over the years. I'll try out some MP. Sometimes I come to like it in some games.

[Abnor_Mal]

Already have he Handsome Collection, wondering if Sonic Mania is any good.

[Eidolon]

It's back to the classic style and had good reviews. I have the Borderlands collection too, paid 14 bucks 3 years ago, so I ain't mad, gotta lot of games to play anyway. I'll try put Sonic for sure

[Abnor_Mal]

Cool, thanks for the info. Yea I also have a lot of games in my backlog. So if anything from what you've said then Sonic may be worth adding to my library.

[rob-GP]

Can't wait to try out Sonic. Already got Borderlands though.

[sprinterboy]

Will give borderlands another try

[YourSixStudios_YT]

The handsome collection is a great value!

[Stanjara]

Great month for me!

[XxSPIDEYxX]

Kind of happy that I missed the Borderlands sale now. Sonic Mania is a great game, cant wait.

[theshredded]

Oh ma goodness thank you PlayStation, I'm sure people are pleasedthis time. I'm lucky I only played Borderlands 2 and not the other 2 extra games.

[bluefox755]

Nice, I've wanted to pick up both of these.

[bangoskank]

With the announcement of Borderlands 3 I was already considering picking up The Handsome Collection. Thank you, Sony.

[CP_Company]

and we get even new DLC for Borderlands 2.

[Relientk77]

Wow what a great month. Excited to try Sonic Mania, already own The Handsome Collection

[OneEyedSteve]

Crazy how people moan at this months games and praise next months... Next months are both cheap games, BL is on sale all the time and most who wanted it will have it. Poor value again.

[modsrhypocrite]

Craaaap, just bought the Handsome collection earlier in the month off of Amazon 😅😅 Ah well, great offering for those that don't have it~ lol

[rainslacker]

Eh, download it anyways, then you won't have to put the disc in. Unless you got the digital copy off Amazon.

I add everything from plus. Even if I don't want it. Never know if I might decide I want it one day. Doesn't hurt me having it available to download on a whim.

[modsrhypocrite]

Same and agree. Just whining about the spent money, not to having an additional free copy. I always buy physical, but not against having digital copies. Especially free ones.

[Silly gameAr]

Not a big Borderlands fan, but It's it awhile since I've played. Maybe my opinion will change with time.

[autobotdan]

Good month. Gotta go fast. Gotta go faster

[Jls1]

yes so glad I waited on Sonic Mania

[Imortus_san]

Good games next month.

[monkey602]

Most will have bought the Borderlands handsome collection on one of the 2 million & 4 times it's been on sale recently I would imagine

[sushimama]

Nice. Great month.

[akaFullMetal]

Awesome month for me, love the games. Can't wait to get back into borderlands!

[Hardiman]

Got BL but not Mania so that's cool!

[FallenAngel1984]

Best month this year

[phoenixwing]

Havent bought either and its definitely a good month

[porkChop]

That's a pretty great month. I don't have Sonic Mania, and I've never played The Pre-Sequel.

[Bigman4k]

Wow that some good games for ps plus of june

[BoneMagnus]

Phew! Amazon had the Handsome Collection for $14.99 - I almost bought it - glad I didn’t!

[ReVibe]

An excuse for me to sit down to a Sonic game in 2019.....
Aight.

[Matrix6]

Awesome PS+ month!
I already have both physical and digital. I wonder if Sonic Mania will include the DLC?

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

Wow, this is a really great month!

[Fluke_Skywalker]

Bastard! I just bought the Handsome collection last week, DOH!

[PhoenixUp]

This is the first time in a long while that we saw the PS+ lineup before we saw the GWG lineup for a month. It’s usually been the other way around

[Outlawzz]

So does borderlands 1 not have anything to do with handsome jack ? Just want to know wt to play before 3 story wise. Even though I know borderlands isn't really story heavy anyways

[PhoenixUp]

Handsome Jack himself doesn’t appear in Borderlands 1 but he is retrocactively involved due to being behind the unsealing of the first Vault

[ApolloTheBoss]

MAAAAANNNNN I bought the collection it when it went on sale I wish I waited.

[Phoenix76]

Haha I brought borderlands 2 VR only last month. Now they do this to me 😂 just my luck

[Realms]

This month is just ok to me nothing special since I already own the Borderlands collection, I will give Sonic Mania a try though. Good month for those that don't already own these games.

[william_cade]

This may be good for some, but value wise it's a shit deal.

[BLow]

No complaints here. More games is never a bad thing. As always, some people will not be happy with these games. Same story different month....

[Bronxs15]

Oh nice I really wanted that sonic game. Is this for us tho or eu only?

[Nineball2112]

Are you kidding me?? LOL! I just bought the Handsome Jack collection a few weeks ago. Maaaaaaaaaaaan. LOL

Well, congrats to everyone else who doesn't have it. Make sure to pick it up.

[MasterCornholio]

Awww

:(

But at least it isn't a bad selection of games.

:)
