PlayStation Plus rolls out the big guns for its free July games

Diablo IV
Activision Blizzard

PlayStation Plus just announced the latest free titles coming in July, and the service also announced its 15-year anniversary (and that doesn’t make us feel old at all, not even a little). July is bringing three more games to the mix, along with new game trials for PlayStation Plus members and multiple special offers to mark the occasion.

If you’re looking for something to keep you entertained while hiding away from the too-hot sun, check out these picks.

Diablo IV — PS5, PS4

Diablo IV first released in summer 2023, and now it’s available for free for gamers who want to explore somewhere even hotter than the outdoors. Players can dive into the campaign solo or play with up to four others online (and two people in local co-op), and the game only gets better after you’ve finished the main story. The end game is where the Diablo franchise shines, with challenging bosses, tons of loot, and loads of activities to take part in.

The King of Fighters XV — PS5, PS4

If battling the demons of hell isn’t your vibe, maybe duking it out with other skilled opponents is. The King of Fighters XV brings the series’ 3v3 battles to your living room, along with 39 different characters to choose from. Rollback netcode means you can play online without worrying about lag (to some extent, at least). The PlayStation Plus version includes exclusive DLC, too, so you can equip certain characters with classic costumes from previous games.

Jusant — PS5

Jusant offers a more chill vibe than the other two options this month. You’re tasked with reach the top of an ancient tower and discovering its history, balancing your climbing tools and stamina meter along the way. There are plenty of secrets to be found, so exploring alternative pathways is a great option. And unlike real life, if you fall off, you can always reload.

In addition to these three free games, PlayStation Plus Premium members can try out a game trial of WWE 2K25 starting today, with a trial of Monster Hunter Wilds arriving on June 30. PlayStation Plus members will also have access to exclusive savings in the PlayStation Store from June 27-29.

Other offers are up for grabs, too, including a pack of in-game goodies for Valorant, discounts on more than 2,000 movies across the PlayStation Store, and two free days of multiplayer gaming, even for users without PlayStation Plus.

Faux getting huge air in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.

We're fully in showcase season with SGF 2025 starting today and a surprise State of Play happening earlier this week with tons of upcoming PS5 games shown off. Oh, and there's a little console called the Nintendo Switch 2 that just came out as well. But if you're a PlayStation faithful, you will need some games to play this weekend between showcases and while waiting for Death Stranding 2. Last week we got an early drop of PlayStation Plus games, but there's even more that just hit the service this week you might've forgotten about. I've picked out a fresh batch of brand new games you can get lost in over the weekend, so let's get to it.

Arc System Works and Marvel are tag-teaming a new fighting game
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls

Watching Captain America and Iron Man duke it out is nothing new, but they're not usually speaking Japanese. At Wednesday's State of Play, Arc System Works debuted a brand-new Marvel fighting game called Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. Arc is known for its excellent fighting entries, and this game looks to be more of the same, featuring fan-favorite characters with a distinctive anime-like flair.

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is a four-versus-four tag team fighter that's reminiscent of games like Marvel vs Capcom, with colorful characters, over-the-top abilities, and bouts set against vibrant stage backgrounds. While there aren't a lot of details yet, PlayStation Studios announced the game will release on PlayStation 5 and PC in 2026.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles drops on PlayStation 5 this fall
Final Fantasy Tactics

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is coming to PlayStation 5 on September 30, 2025, and contains both the 1997 version of the game and a new, remastered edition. It's available for preorder starting today.

Final Fantasy Tactics is arguably one of the greatest tactical RPGs ever made, and is still a fan favorite nearly three decades after its release. The Classic version of the game "unites the graphics and gameplay of the original with the renowned War of the Lions translations," while the Enhanced edition provides a more modern interface, "extensive" additions to the game — though no word on what, exactly, that means — and fully voiced dialogue.
