And throughout July, players have sweeping access to eight fresh releases.
These include Cyberpunk 2077 - an open-world, action-adventure role-playing game set in the dark future of Night City.
Abiotic Factor is also on the shortlist, where up to six players must join forces to survive the depths of an underground research facility.
RPG fans may prefer to opt for Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden where those who dare enter can spar with supernatural creatures.
For kids, Bluey: The Videogame is a welcome addition to the line up and is based on the popular children's television series of the same name.
Other games on the July roster include management simulation game Planet Zoo, Risk of Rain 2, Tropico 6 and New World: Aeternum.
GAMES DISAPPEAR FROM SCREENS
The fresh releases will be welcome news to fans after it was revealed that six titles will vanish within days.
The games aren't being deleted – you can still buy them outright if you want to keep playing.
But all six will be removed from the PS Plus catalogue across all tiers of the membership on July 15, 2025.
And it affects gamers playing on the PS5, PS4, PSVR 2, and PSVR.

The list of games is as follows:
Remnant II
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII – Reunion
Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong
Dying Light 2: Stay Human
Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord
Job Simulator
Importantly, these games will become unplayable for PS Plus subscribers even if you've already downloaded them.
These aren't "claim" games that you install and keep forever.
In a Reddit thread about the change, fans were panicked that they wouldn't have time to play all of the games.
"Welp I've been putting off Dying Light 2 because I heard it isn't great, but I guess it's now or never," wrote one gamer.
Another gamer replied: "Me too. I just gave it another shot after playing it for 30 mins a month ago and not feeling it. Starting to get into it now.
"Now I'm worried I may not have enough time."
GLITCHY RELEASE
Elsewhere, PlayStation fans urged gamers to avoid a free title they say is glitchy – and not even worth playing.
Ark: Survival Ascended is one of the free games available to play with PlayStation Plus this month.
But some gamers say they're having trouble with the action-adventure survival title on PlayStation consoles.
One player posting to Reddit said that they spent hours playing the game – only to lose all of their progress, as spotted by ComicBook.
"I love crafting survival games, so I was very excited when this was announced to be on PS Plus," the user explained.
"I played it for about five hours. Save and close out, take a break.
"When I come back to it? Save file is gone completely.

'I want to name my baby after bread but people say I'm making a mistake'
A mum has been urged to rethink her child's name after she confessed she wants to name her baby after a type of bread - as people think she's making a big mistake When it comes to choosing a baby name, it's important to remember that you can't please everyone. No matter whether you choose a unique name or something more common, there will always be people who judge your choice simply because it's not a moniker they would have chosen themselves. Usually, the advice is to ignore the critics and go with your gut instincts, but one mum has been left questioning her choices after people online told her to reconsider her baby's name. The mum shared her potential name in a post on Reddit, and was told to go back to the drawing board because of one glaring issue. In her post, the woman confessed she wanted to use the name Rye as a middle name for her child, but was concerned people would react negatively because the word is also a popular type of bread made from rye grain. She wrote: "Thoughts on Rye as a middle name (Gabriel Rye)? At first, my associations were all positive (Catcher in the Rye, and a town I've passed by in upstate New York), but then I remembered rye bread. Is that all I would hear from people?" Commenters on the woman's post were quick to point out that although the name might sound elegant because of its connections to the classic book, Catcher in the Rye, the "rye" in the book title refers to rye grain - the same thing that rye bread is made out of. One person said: "Catcher in the Rye refers to the grain, and Rye, New York, is named after a city in England. I really don't think it works as a given name." Another added: "I mean Catcher in the Rye literally refers to standing in a field of rye." A third also shared: "I just think of a girl I know whose dogs are named Whiskey and Rye. Which leads me to the song. But yeah, I also think of the grain/bread." Several other commenters argued that the name was "fine" as the mum wants to use it as a middle name instead of her child's first name, but insisted they would never consider it as a given name. One stated: "I don't think it would make a good first name, but I think it's fine for a middle name." Someone else posted: "I think it's fine in the context. If I heard it as a middle name, I'd probably assume it was a family name, like the mother's maiden name or something." Another bluntly remarked: "It's fine as a middle name, but I did immediately think of bread." While a fourth thought it was more suitable as a dog's name, stating: "Fine as a middle name, I'd assume anyone with Rye as a forename was a pet." This mum isn't the only person who recently considered naming their baby after a food item. One mum recently said her top choice of baby name was a popular dairy product - but her husband shut it down.

I'm 19 and my sister hasn't invited me to her 'child-free' wedding but STILL expects a gift. Am I wrong for being furious?
A bride has been blasted online for expecting a wedding gift from her 19-year-old half sister - even though she banned her from the big day. The bitter family feud was laid bare in a now-viral Reddit post, where the younger sibling revealed she'd been left off the invite list for her sister's wedding because she's a teen. She later received an unsolicited link to the bride's lavish gift registry. Confused by the unexpected message, the teen messaged her asking if it was in fact her registry link. 'What else could it possibly be?' her older sister responded curtly. When the younger woman asked why it was sent to her, the bride replied: '??? You're my sister'. That's when her sibling pointed out the obvious - that she wasn't invited to the wedding. The bride, undeterred, claimed that it is common for people who can't make a wedding to still give the happy couple a gift. A bride has been blasted online for expecting a wedding gift from her 19-year-old half sister - even though she banned her from the big day The college student, who did not name herself didn't hold back. 'Can't make it =/= not invited,' she wrote. As it transpired, the real reason for the older sister had left her off the invite list was because it was a 'child-free wedding'. 'I'm a fully grown adult,' her sister argued. A defence for the argument, with both based in America, could be the view that the 19-year-old is a minor in regard to the country-wide drinking law of over 21. To which the younger sibling then pointed out the irony of the situation, writing that they were having a dry wedding - so it really shouldn't matter. Things quickly spiralled with the bride dismissing the argument altogether. Still standing her ground, the teen reiterated that she was an adult. And like many sibling quarrels, the exchange got rather petty with each trying to have the last word But the bride doubled down. 'It's my wedding and you're a teenager. It's clear by your reaction to my own wedding you are not mature enough to attend adult events or exist in adult spaces,' she said. Naturally, the exchange sparked a frenzy online, with thousands rushing to the teen's defence and labelling the bride 'entitled' and 'completely out of touch'. 'It's customary if you can't make it - not if you aren't invited at all. Your sister is delusional,' one Reddit user declared. 'And children aren't expected to give gifts at a wedding, regardless of whether they're invited.' 'This is the perfect response,' one said of the teen's blunt messages. 'And yes, OP needs to drag the parents into this too. Bridezilla is their creation.' Others were equally savage. 'Sis is being a child, who needs an etiquette lesson,' one wrote. 'Who begs a college kid for a gift and throws a hissy fit when she gets a reasonable no?' 'This is one of the craziest things I've ever seen. Older teens aren't children regarding being invited to a wedding - and mine was child free,' one more added. While the bride may have been expecting an air fryer or a fancy blender, it seems all she received was a viral roasting and a lesson in wedding etiquette. More hilariously, it was all courtesy of a Gen Z sibling who doesn't suffer fools (or unsolicited registries) lightly. And like many sibling quarrels, the exchange got rather petty with each trying to have the last word. 'It's my money. Not getting a gift. And begging for expensive crap from a broke college student is cringe as hell,' the younger sister wrote. 'You're being immature and unsupportive,' the bride replied. The final reply was perhaps the pettiest of all. '*Fart noises*,' the youngest wrote. 'My point stands,' the eldest concluded.

I bought a children's toy, but the instructions were in Chinese...can you figure out what it is supposed to be?
Doctor's kits, construction tools, and kitchen sets are often very common items in the toy aisle. But as the years go on, they seem to get more and more intricate, and without an instruction manual it can be difficult to discern what exactly your child is playing with. That's the problem a parent on Reddit ran into before uploading a photo to the site's 'What is this thing' thread. FlakyPhilosophy5103 posted the picture in hopes of getting to the bottom of a toy box mystery that had been bothering them for months. Along with a picture of two colorful children's toys, the poster wrote: 'Is anyone able to help me know what these things are supposed to be please? It has been bugging me for months. 'The kit was in Chinese so I am none the wiser.' They described the small plastic items as a 'scraper' and a 'round item' which came in a child's doctor kit. Fortunately, parents flocked to the comment section to help the parent identify exactly which fictitious procedures their child would be performing with the mysterious plastic tools. At first, there were a couple of well-meaning, but totally off-base guesses. One user commented: 'Could the blue thing be one of those reflex hammers?' Another theorized: 'Maybe the blue thing is a strange tongue depressor? Like, with a funky angle to get the large handle out of the line of sight, from before disposables?' A third said: 'The pink thing looks like the eye test where the doc switches out lenses.' One person even though the pink round object and blue plastic toy could be a dental X-ray machine and tooth guard. But the overwhelming consensus took the right answer in a different direction. Comparing the items to play doctor's kits online and toys of their own, as always, Reddit commenters were able to get to the bottom of it. 'I think the blue thing is supposed to be a scalpel,' said one answer. The commenters confirmed that the pink toy was supposed to be a doctor's light 'It's a surgery light and a scalpel, we have the same kit,' said another. People uploaded photos of similar kits which labeled the items as a scalpel and a spotlight, confirming their theories. The original asker posted a response, confirming that the solution had been found: 'Solved! Thanks all. It seems scalpel and surgery light is the answer. Maybe I can listen properly next time she is playing rather than wondering!'
