Last year\u2019s July PS Plus lineup included<\/a>:<\/p>\n Diablo IVKing of Fighters XVJusant<\/p>\n Definitely give the puzzle-climbing \/ post-apocalyptic game Jusant a try if you get a chance. It\u2019s really good.<\/p>\n What Is PlayStation Plus And How Much Does It Cost?<\/p>\n PS Plus is Sony\u2019s monthly membership program that grants access to online gaming. You don\u2019t need it for streaming movies or TV shows on Netflix and other services, or for free-to-play games like Warzone or Fortnite. Any paid online games, however, require a subscription.<\/p>\n There are three PS Plus tiers\u2014Essential, Extra and Premium. Premium grants the most benefits, including the largest game catalog and classic games from older consoles like PS2, PS3 and PS4. PS Plus Essential costs $10.99\/month or $79.99\/year; PS Plus Extra costs $16.99\/month or $134.99\/year; PS Plus Premium costs $19.99\/month or $159.99\/year.<\/p>\n For the purposes of this post, we\u2019ll only be discussing the three free monthly titles coming to PS Plus Essential in July. The Extra and Premium titles are revealed midway through the month they release. Essential releases are free for all tiers.<\/p>\n When Will Sony Reveal Next Month\u2019s PS Plus Games?<\/p>\n Neon White<\/p>\n Credit: Annapurna<\/p>\n Sony typically reveals the following month\u2019s games on the last Wednesday of the month, though this isn\u2019t always the case. The actual rule of thumb is that the new lineup (almost) always releases on the first Tuesday of the month and the games are revealed the previous Wednesday. <\/p>\n That means we\u2019ll learn about July\u2019s games on Wednesday July 1 and the games themselves will be available on Tuesday July 7. You have until then to download this month\u2019s free titles.<\/p>\n PS Plus July 2026 Leaks, Rumors And Predictions<\/p>\n Lords of the Fallen<\/p>\n Credit: CI Games<\/p>\n So far there have been no reliable leaks for July\u2019s PS Plus lineup, and none of the new releases coming out on July 7 look like they\u2019d be included, either, unless Sony gives away the \u201cRevelations\u201d expansion for DOOM: The Dark Ages, which I doubt. No rumors, leaks or safe bets to go off of, though I\u2019ll update this post if that changes. For now we\u2019ll move on to predictions and the wish list.<\/p>\n PS Plus July 2026 PS Plus Predictions & Wishlist Games<\/p>\n Kingdom Come Deliverance II<\/p>\n Credit: Warhorse<\/p>\n Some of these are more likely candidates than others and some of these are quite obviously just wishful thinking. Most of these remain from past prediction lists, since they haven\u2019t been picked yet!<\/p>\n Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered \u2014 This is a modern classic open-world adventure game about fighting giant robotic dinosaurs in a post-apocalyptic future. It seems like the perfect candidate for a PS Plus title, since the remaster came out two years ago. <\/p>\n Atomfall \u2014 The first-person survival-action game set in an alternate-history 1960s Britain after a nuclear disaster is a top pick for a lot PS Plus hopefuls. It only released in early 2025, however, so it\u2019s pretty new for a PS Plus inclusion. Then again, we\u2019ve seen quicker turnarounds (Dragon Age: The Veilguard <\/a>for instance).<\/p>\n Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition \u2014 Two reasons for this. One, there\u2019s an Anniversary Edition out and the second season of Amazon\u2019s excellent Fallout series is currently streaming. Some kind of Fallout release makes sense.<\/p>\n
