Reporting from 3 sources: 4Gamer.net, Denfaminicogamer, Game Spark.
Sony Interactive Entertainment announced a new lineup for the PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog during the June 3 State of Play broadcast. The rhythm action game Gitaroo Man, originally released for the PS2 in 2001 and known for character designs by illustrator 326, will join the catalog in June. July will bring the third-person shooter Psi-Ops: Psychic Operation (also referred to as Psi-Ops: The Mind Gate Conspiracy) and Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, according to different sources. August will see the addition of New Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams, the fourth entry in the Onimusha series starring Hideyasu Yuki. The open-world survival game RuneScape: DragonWilds is also scheduled for a day-one release in the Game Catalog in fall 2026. All Classics Catalog titles were originally released for the PlayStation 2.
The announcements came during the State of Play broadcast on June 3, 2026. Sources agree on the core lineup but differ on one July title: 4Gamer.net lists Psi-Ops: Psychic Operation, while Game Spark lists Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror alongside it. Denfaminicogamer also mentions Psi-Ops: The Mind Gate Conspiracy. All three sources confirm Gitaroo Man for June, New Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams for August, and RuneScape: DragonWilds for a fall 2026 Game Catalog release. Gitaroo Man is a rhythm game where players battle opponents through musical duels, and its character designs by 326 have given it a lasting cult following. New Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams is the fourth mainline game in the Onimusha series, following the story of Hideyasu Yuki, known as the Ashen Oni. The Classics Catalog is available exclusively to PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers.
