Sony’s PlayStation Plus lineup for July 2025 is now live. It features three strong titles: Diablo IV, The King of Fighters XV, and Jusant. These games are available to claim from July 1 to August 4. The release also marks the 15th anniversary of the PS Plus service.

While the selection has been praised for its value, the rollout hasn’t been smooth. Many users are facing issues claiming Diablo IV through the PlayStation App. The glitches have dampened the excitement for some.

Which Free PS Plus Game Will You Choose?

  • Diablo IV (PS5/PS4): The critically lauded dark-action RPG returns to Plus with its phenomenal loot systems, character-building flexibility, and cross-platform progression. It has indeed managed to remain a beacon, scoring an 88 on average in the review sphere. 

  • The King of Fighters XV (PS5/PS4): Retaining the original team battles of 3 on 3 and featuring effective rollback netcode, it went on to become one of the most loved fighting games of the year 2022, earning an 80 on average with the media. 

  • Jusant (PS5): A calm platformer-puzzler-climber, meditative tower exploration, and stamina-based tactics for those who want to relax a bit.

Why Won’t Diablo IV Download via App?

Despite the rich lineup, numerous users report problems downloading Diablo IV via the PlayStation App. It shows as included, but upon selecting download, an error message appears stating: "Not available for purchase," and this seems to be happening even to eligible subscribers.

On Reddit, a frustrated user from India noted:  "Diablo IV says `not available for purchase.' Can't even roll out the games properly." 

Another one added: "Same here... Sony really need to sort out how they manage PS Store licenses." 

A simple workaround has been found. Go directly to the PS Plus tile on a PS5, not the app. From there, choose the PS Plus version of Diablo IV from the dropdown menu. This lets users claim the game. It's not ideal for those who prefer mobile access.

Push Square notes beta users may see an ‘already own’ error. A fix is expected soon.

  • This month also features 15th anniversary celebrations such as WWE 2K25 trials and Monster Hunter Wilds trials for Premium subscribers, and exclusive PlayStation Store discounts.

  • Plus, a Valorant PS Plus Pack is available for all members, including Radianite Points and cosmetic items.

What’s Sony Doing to Fix This Issue?

The July PlayStation Plus lineup delivers great value, especially with Diablo IV, but early rollout issues via the PS App have stirred frustration among users. While Sony is expected to resolve the problem soon, those eager to claim the game must currently use a workaround by accessing it directly through a PS5 console.
