5 Must-Play Games of June 2021

Looking at the game releases for June 2021, there is a little something for everyone, including a twitchy first-person shooter, the return of a beloved Playstation duo, and some new titles that’ll tickle the interest of ambitious gamers. Here are our picks for the most-anticipated games of June 2021:

Necromunda: Hired Gun

Release date: 1 June 2021 (Xbox Series X|S | PS5 | Xbox One | PS4 | PC) – Find the best price here.

Set in the Warhammer 40K universe, Necromunda: Hired Gun will appeal to Doom fans thanks to its fast-paced FPS gunplay and level design. You play as a mercenary who’s been hired to scour the Necromunda for some high-value targets, comprising of outlaws, mutants, and whatever else you’re paid to take out. There are a bunch of weapons (all of which are upgradable) along with a wall-run ability and grappling hook to get players around the massive, industrial environments of the Underhive.

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2

The shamefully overlooked Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts is getting a sequel this June, this time set in the desert landscapes of the Middle East. Once again, you play as a mercenary who has to eliminate some valuable targets, either using long-range stealth or going in guns blazing – the choice is yours. The gear has been revamped too, allowing you to customise every aspect of your rifle and loadout, and the visuals have seen a bit beefing-up from Contracts too, with the slow-mo bullet-cam getting some extra gory attention.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

Release date: 11 June 2021 (Xbox Series X|S | PS5 | Xbox One | PS4 | PC) – Find the best price here.

The Ratchet & Clank series’ brilliant 2016 reboot is set for a follow-up with Rift Apart. Playing on the idea of multiple-dimensions, the game will incorporate portals and dimension-jumps into the already-whacky action/platforming gameplay. In addition to the zany levels, weapons, and puzzle-solving the franchise is known for, you’ll also get to play as Ratchet’s interdimensional counterpart, Rivet.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade

Release date: 10 June 2021 (PS5)

Final Fantasy VII Remake released on PS4 last year, but it is coming to PS5 this June, along with a few enhancements. The PS5 upgrade includes enhanced visuals, a photo mode, and haptic feedback through the DualSense controller. It also includes the option to switch between “Graphics Mode” that prioritises 4K visuals and “Performance Mode” that prioritises 60 frames per second.
