Diablo 4 Season 9 Sins of the Horadrim release time with new features and powers
The upcoming season of Diablo 4 is just around the corner, introducing seasonal content (yes, more powers) as well as alterations to dungeons.
Diablo 4 Season 8 is drawing to a close, with Season 9: Sins of the Horadrim poised to launch and unveil a host of new content including a fresh seasonal questline, and permanent changes to Nightmare Dungeons in both the Seasonal and Eternal Realms. We're all set for new seasonal powers with Horadric spells that link to your skills and that can be further tailored using the new mechanics.
Diablo 4 Season 9 also presents an ideal entry point given that the game is free on Xbox Game Pass and over on PlayStation consoles, you can grab it as part of the PS Plus July Essential drop which is available to subscribers right now. If you're a newbie, remember that you need to complete the campaign before you can delve into the seasonal content, and that's with at least one character on either the Seasonal or Eternal Realms.
Don't be deterred by the new powers either; every season we receive a new one to supersede last season's gimmick, so you'll be in the same situation as everyone else. Diablo 4 Season 9's battle passes (dubbed Reliquaries) has both free and premium content for players, with the complimentary Sins of the Horadrim Reliquary offering the Eventine Mount, Nightslayer's Barding Mount Armor, and the Door of the Iron Demon Town Portal.
If you fancy splashing out on the Premium Battle Pass Bundle for the Reliquaries for Weapons, Beasts, and Armour, it will cost you 1,000 Platinum which equates to £8.39 / $9.99 / AU$14.95 in real money. Do keep in mind that if you buy any of the three premium battle passes separately, the bundle will no longer be available and you'll have to purchase them individually thereafter.
For those seeking some extra sparkle, you can splash out on the Deluxe Battle Pass Bundle for 2,800 Platinum (£20.99 / $24.99 / AU$37.45) that grants you access to the Weapons, Beasts, and Armour Reliquaries as well as the following:
With all that sorted, here's precisely when Diablo 4 Season 9 kicks off.
Diablo 4 Season 9 release time
Diablo 4 Season 9 releases at 6pm BST / 1pm EDT / 10am PDT today, Tuesday July 1. There's no downtime so you can simply download and install the update as soon as it appears on your platform, and then you can dive right in. As for the new content, here's a summary from the official blog post detailing what you can look forward to:
In addition to the seasonal content, players can test their skills in a new permanent endgame activity named Escalating Nightmares. As the name implies, when you enter a Nightmare Dungeon, things will intensify, as you battle through a series of three dungeons, with their affixes stacking onto the next one.
Each level is referred to as a Torment Tier, with the prizes escalating in tandem with the challenge. If you manage to conquer all three tiers, you'll confront the Exalted version of Astaroth, ensuring there's ample to occupy you once Diablo 4 Season 9 kicks off later today.

Mecha Break release time and when you can pilot your very first Striker
Mecha Break is about to launch, bringing a new fast-paced multiplayer mech shooter to the table with five classes of Striker to choose from – here's everything you need to know The release of Mecha Break is just around the corner, introducing a significant new contender in the mech shooter genre with five fresh Striker classes to select from. Mecha Break is poised to make its debut soon, and with a bit of luck, it could spark a revival for mech games. We've had some good fortune recently, with Armoured Core 6: Fires of Rubicon standing out as a stellar example that not only demonstrates the allure of piloting a massive armed robot but also how enjoyable it can be. However, as a single-player game, it left many fans who typically enjoy multiplayer games craving something different. So, it's welcome news that Mecha Break is set to burst onto the scene with high-speed, heavy-duty, strafe-filled gameplay that sets mech against mech. The game's array of Strikers offers players a fantastic opportunity to discover their ideal playstyle while at the helm, and if it manages to make a mark, then Mecha Break could become the shining new exemplar of shooter titles, especially those that put you in control of a giant robot. The game has a lot to demonstrate when it enters the fray, especially with the commencement of Diablo 4 Season 9 and the latest Capcom Spotlight showcase flaunting an impressive Monster Hunter Wilds update. However, players have much to look forward to as Twitch Summer Drops Fest 2025 will offer a range of items for pilots when the game launches, ensuring they step onto the battlefield in the most stylish gear. We must wait for the Mecha Break release time before we get too carried away, but luckily, it's just around the corner. Here's all you need to know about the Mecha Break release time.

This release time was confirmed by a recent tweet from the game's developers. The opportunity to obliterate your enemies is tantalisingly close now. Whether or not Mecha Break can dominate the multiplayer shooter world remains to be seen, but there's no doubt that mech enthusiasts will be thrilled when they climb into their first Striker.

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. READ MORE: Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded release time – when you can play the latest maps PS Plus Essential July 2025 games release time The PS Plus Essential July 2025 games are set to launch at 2am PDT / 5am EDT / 10am BST on Tuesday, July 1. This is the standard release time for new games each month, as stated on the PS Plus page of your PlayStation menu. The preceding games will leave the service an hour earlier, at 1am PDT / 4am EDT / 9am BST, giving you until then to add Destiny 2: The Final Shape, NBA 2K25, Alone in the Dark 2024 and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk to your library before they permanently become paid games. Don't miss this opportunity to enjoy some fantastic games for free, before another batch of great games becomes available for free play.
