Sony Is Giving Away Some Great Games For PS Plus Subscribers In July
PS Plus games for July 2025 Sony is celebrating the 15th anniversary of PlayStation Plus with something of a twist: The entire PS Plus Essential lineup is quite good in July. There are no bad games in this list, and one is a pretty major title. The lineup was revealed Wednesday morning and the new games will be available for PS Plus subscribers on Tuesday, July 1st. Be sure to download the current month's titles before that date. Here's what's coming in July. This classic 3v3 fighting game franchise has been around a long time. King Of Fighters debuted back in 1994! Players can choose from 39 different characters in local or online matches. This one came out back in 2022 and has a 79/100 Metacritic score on PS5. Definitely a fun game to play with friends, whether you're a skilled fighting game champion or a button-masher. It's crazy to think that Diablo IV has been around for two years and change. The PS Plus release of the game coincides with the release of Season 9, which adds new questlines, items, gameplay mechanics and more to the ARPG. Sins of the Horadrim also adds new quests and rewards. If you haven't gotten into this one yet (it's been available on Xbox Game Pass but not free on PlayStation) July will be a good time to go slay demons and loot. Fighting games too stressful? Tired of slaying demons? If you feel like something a little more chill and a little less intense, check out Jusant, a brilliant puzzle-climber about climbing a tall tower in the middle of a post-apocalyptic wasteland. From Life Is Strange studio DON'T NOD, Jusant is a visually stunning, often quite challenging game that's filled with whimsy. Definitely give it a shot if you're looking for something a little different. All told, this is a very strong lineup with lots of variety. Both Diablo IV and KOF15 can be played with friends, and Jusant is a great single-player title that you can take at a much slower pace. If only PS Plus was this good every month! On top of this, Sony is offering some other 15th Anniversary perks. PS Plus Premium members can play the WWE 2K25 demo or take Monster Hunter Wilds for a spin in a demo that launches June 30th. A PS Plus sale is also happening June 27th-29th. A new Valorant PS Plus pack is available today, celebrating that game's new season.
