PS Plus Essential July 2025 games revealed – Diablo 4 comes to the service
The PS Plus free games for July 2025 have been announced, with the likes of Diablo 4 and Jusant arriving on PS5 and PS4 in the next few weeks for Essential subscribers.
PS Plus has prematurely unveiled its new Essential games, announcing the addition of titles such as Diablo 4 and Jusant.
PS Plus has had a somewhat inconsistent year, despite recently surprising fans with a major drop during Days of Play and revealing that Remedy Entertainment's FBC: Firebreak would be part of its Extra and Premium June 2025 drop.
However, there have been enough disappointments to make players slightly wary. It can be frustrating for players to pay for online services, so the free games certainly help to sweeten the deal, particularly for Essential subscribers.
This month, however, those subscribers are in for a pleasant surprise. Our PS Plus Essential July 2025 predictions suggested we might see some exciting new indie titles, and we weren't far off. But it was unexpected that Sony would deliver a AAA title with dark themes this month. The latest games have been announced, and they're a real treat for players.
Here's what you need to know about the PS Plus Essential July 2025 games.
PS Plus Essential July 2025 games
The PS Plus Essential July 2025 games have been unveiled a tad early today, marking the 15th anniversary of PlayStation Plus. Sony has announced in a blog post that the new titles will be available to players from Tuesday, 1st July. Those games are:
Diablo 4
This means that the previous line-up of games is set to vanish. So, make sure you download Destiny 2: The Final Shape, NBA 2K25, Alone in the Dark 2024 and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk before they leave the service permanently and become paid titles.
It's an impressive array of games, particularly with Diablo 4 nearing its Season 8 end date, and Jusant offering a fantastic climbing experience that fully immerses players in its world. It's a lot of fun and will keep players thoroughly engaged. Dive in, and we'll see you at the summit.

As announced by Sony, Diablo 4 will be free for PlayStation Plus subscribers across all tiers on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 from Tuesday, July 1.

The King Of Fighters 15, an overlooked SNK fighter, will also be available across PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, along with the excellent climbing sim Jusant. All these games will be available to claim from July 1 to August 4, 2025.
