This July will mark the 15th anniversary of PlayStation Plus, and the company is celebrating this milestone with a plethora of games offered in the subscription tiers. Cyberpunk 2077 has been the center of attraction, returning to the PlayStation Plus Game catalog after a roller-coaster debut on the platform. 

Yet there is so much more than just Night City. Here’s a deep dive into what’s available and when.

Cyberpunk 2077: PlayStation Plus’ Major Highlight

Release Date: July 9

Always an open-world RPG, CD Projekt Red’s creation has returned to service almost five years after having been removed from the PlayStation Store in December 2020 as a consequence of performance problems.

Better late than never, it rejoins the subscriber library following extensive improvements. The game now offers a smoother and more reliable experience.

Bonus Offer: PS Plus members can get a 30% discount on Phantom Liberty until July 23.

Abiotic Factor

Coming July 22 to the PS5, this sci-fi co-op survival game allows six players to navigate through an underground research facility filled with paranormal threats.

Crafting, anomaly investigation, and frantic multiplayer are all of which make it a must-play for the PS Plus Extra population.

Why July’s PlayStation Plus Lineup Stands Out

AAA Comeback

Cyberpunk 2077’s return is more than just an exercise in nostalgia. Through heavy bug-fixing and updates, this version is the strongest and most stable yet, offering a compelling experience for subscribers.

Genres

From heavy RPGs (Banishers), relaxing sims (Planet Zoo), competitive roguelikes (Risk of Rain 2), to family-oriented (Bluey), there should be something for every mood.

Classics

Fans from way back should appreciate the return of Twisted Metal 3 and 4 to enhance the Classics tier further.

What’s Launching This Month?

  • July 9: Launch night for Cyberpunk 2077; discount on Phantom Liberty.

  • July 15: Entry of the majority of the lineup into Extra and Premium.

  • July 22: Abiotic Factor PS5 day-one launch.

  • July 23: Last chance for the discount on Cyberpunk DLC.

Final Thoughts - What’s the Verdict on This Month’s Lineup?

July’s PlayStation Plus offerings offer a spectacular star-studded selection with Cyberpunk 2077. New launches like Abiotic Factor and a plethora of titles across genres await your attention. Deep narrative, chaotic coop, creative sim, or kids play, the month delivers on every front.

Are you grabbing Cyberpunk once again, descending into subterranean terrors with Abiotic Factor, or ruling your zoo with flair? What’s your favorite pick from this month’s lineup?
