PS Plus Essential July 2025 games release time, when you can download them
PS Plus Essential subscribers have been treated to an impressive line-up of games this month, with Diablo 4 set to be available to download for free very soon
More PS Plus games are on the horizon for Essential subscribers, with Diablo 4 leading the pack for a fresh dose of dark adventure.
A new batch of PS Plus games has been officially announced. It's welcome news for subscribers, particularly as this month's lineup is notably robust for Essential subscribers.
The early unveiling of the PS Plus Essential July 2025 games was quite a surprise, with Diablo 4 being revealed as the service's main attraction, arriving just as the Season 8 end date appears and ushers in a new wave of live service content.
The game will be featured alongside The King of Fighters 9 and rising indie title Jusant, making for an impressive month of complimentary games for subscribers. This should help soften the blow for players who must continue to pay for their online services, while PC gamers largely avoid this cost.
The timing is also fortuitous, especially given that excitement for FBC: Firebreak from the PS Plus Extra and Premium June 2025 games waned disappointingly quickly upon its release, despite its distinct Remedy feel. Fortunately, players now have a new online title to delve into with their mates. However, before we can dive into the new games, they need to be released. It's important to remember that this will push out the previous games from the service, so there's a collection of games to grab before they disappear.
Here's what you need to know about the PS Plus Essential July 2025 games release time.
