PS Plus games for July includes one of the best dungeon crawlers ever
There's been no shortage of great role-playing games over the past few years between Baldur's Gate 3 and Metaphor: ReFantazio, but one of the best is set to land on PlayStation Plus next month.
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. While it was already a great game when it launched in June 2023, it has only improved following all the updates developer Blizzard has rolled out since.
Next month's line-up is strong in general. 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. As always, if you want to play them down the line, you can add them to your library within this window and download them later, as long as you have an active PlayStation Plus subscription. More Trending
Next month sees Sony celebrate the 15th anniversary of PlayStation Plus with various special offers as well. These include free trials for WWE 2K25 and Monster Hunter Wilds for premium subscribers, special discounts on Sniper Elite: Resistance, Civilization 7, and Star Wars Outlaws, a free Valorant pack, and special tournaments.

For anyone who isn't subscribed to PlayStation Plus, a free online multiplayer weekend is taking place from Saturday June 28 at 12.01am BST to Sunday June 29 at 11.59pm BST. So it's a great time to test out any multiplayer games you've been hanging onto.
You still have time to pick up last month's PlayStation Plus Essential games, with NBA 2K25, Alone In The Dark, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and Destiny 2: The Final Shape all available until June 30.
Earlier this year, Sony announced it will stop offering PlayStation 4 games on the monthly PlayStation Plus line-up from January 2026.

I swapped my AirPods for these bargain Sony headphones - and I'm never going back
A top-quality pair of headphones is a must-have travel accessory, turning every journey into a personalised audio experience. Whether it's soaking up the sun on a golden beach or making a lengthy flight more enjoyable, high-end headphones are essential for me, allowing me to immerse myself in my favourite music, podcasts or audiobooks without disturbance. I'm rather partial to my Airpods - their sleek design, immersive sound and futuristic charging case are all attractive features - however, I do have a habit of misplacing them. After saying farewell to yet another solitary Airpod, lost somewhere between my house and the gym, I decided that perhaps they're just not the right choice for me. In search of an alternative, I stumbled upon the Sony WH-CH520 Wireless Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones on Amazon. Currently reduced to £33.99 from their original price of £45, these wireless headphones are durable, stylish and frankly, a real bargain. On-ear headphones may not have the trendy appeal of Airpods, but that doesn't bother me at all. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here These affordable Sony headphones deliver a rich, resonant sound complete with deep bass, providing a truly enveloping auditory experience. While they may not offer high-end features such as noise-cancelling technology like some more expensive models, the sound quality is so outstanding you wouldn't even notice the difference, reports Birmingham Live. According to Amazon, these headphones feature Sony's Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) which enhances compressed music files for a clearer, more detailed sound. Additionally, there's the Sony Connect app that allows me to fine-tune the sound quality using the 5-band EQ, which is straightforward even for someone not tech-savvy like myself. The sound quality is impressive - it feels immersive while also being clear and sharp. The bass really comes into its own when I'm hitting the treadmill with some classic house tunes, and the enhanced audio is dynamic enough for enjoying podcasts and audiobooks on the move. Unlike older models, these headphones are incredibly lightweight and comfortable to wear. The padding on each earpiece is soft and, thankfully, doesn't cause any discomfort or sweating, and they're available in a variety of stylish colours, including the blue pair that I opted for. Perhaps the standout feature of these headphones for me is the exceptional battery life, offering up to 50 hours of use on a single charge. Incredibly practical, I can go an entire week without needing to recharge them, which is a significant improvement from the daily charging my previous Airpods required. I would highly recommend these, but other affordable yet high-quality alternatives include the JBL Tune 770NC Over-Ear Wireless Headphones, currently priced at £59 on Argos. With adaptive noise cancelling and clear audio, customers have praised them as 'great for daily use'. Alternatively, the Sennheiser ACCENTUM Wireless Bluetooth Headphones deliver premium quality audio for £99. Audio enthusiasts adore the integrated 5 Band EQ and customisable sound modes, describing them as 'the finest headphones for the money'. Bargain seekers who have secured the £32 Sony Wireless Headphones have given them an outstanding 4.5 out of five stars from an remarkable total of over 31,000 reviews. One delighted buyer commented "These headphones are a dream - lightweight, comfy on the ears, and surprisingly powerful for the price. "I bought them for everyday use (think housework, focus time, and a bit of escapism while hiding from the chaos), and they absolutely deliver." Another purchaser lauded them as "Shockingly good for the price," adding: "I didn't expect much if I'm honest but these headphones blew me away - sound is clear, bass is nice without being all muddy and the battery lasts well - comfortable too - even after hours, ears don't feel wrecked. "Bluetooth connects straight away. For the price, amazing value - would buy again in a heartbeat." Yet another simply declared: "A hit! The sound quality is excellent - clear highs, deep bass - and they're super comfortable for long listening sessions." However, not all feedback was positive concerning the affordable Sony headphones, with one customer noting: " Uncomfortable for long duration use, fine for shorter uses." They added: "Sound quality is average for Sony, this head set feels and looks cheap unfortunately." Overall, an impressive 74% of Amazon shoppers have given the Sony Wireless Headphones a five-star rating. One delighted purchaser commented: "I absolutely love these headphones - they are the best wireless headphones I've owned. "I have charged them twice and used them to watch films, listen to music and for phone calls. They are brilliant, the battery is just incredible. "The quality of the sound is also brilliant - plus you can change sound settings in the app. Also you can connect to two devices! They are very comfortable too."

All-electric Range Rover Evoque lookalike for just £27,505
New Chinese brand Jaecoo has taken the UK by storm in 2025 delivering over 10,000 of its new Jaecoo 7 SUVs already this year. The Range Rover Velar lookalike has gone down a storm with buyers who have fallen for its good looks, efficient plug-in hybrid powertrain and – most of all – its value for money. Next up in the UK this October is the smaller, all-electric Jaecoo E5 that promises more of the same. First shown at the Shanghai Motor Show in April this year, the E5 follows the same styling themes with more than a hint of Range Rover Evoque about it. Although smaller than the Jaecoo 7, the E5 offers even better value. Just £27,505 gets you the entry Pure model with a six-speaker Sony audio system, adaptive cruise control, a panoramic camera system and a 13.2-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and 'Hi Jaecoo' voice control. Moving up to Luxury costs you a still very reasonable £30,505 and adds a panoramic sunroof, wireless mobile phone charging, heated and ventilated electrically adjustable front seats, multi-coloured ambient lighting, and an eight-speaker Sony stereo. Both models are powered by a 61.1kWh battery feeding a 204bhp electric motor, getting the E5 from 0 to 62mph in 7.7 seconds. Jaecoo claims a maximum range for the E5 of 248 miles, while charging at speeds up to 80kW might not be class leading these days, but it still means a 30 to 80 per cent charge should take around 27 minutes. Both models also get V2L (Vehicle to Load) capability, meaning you can power household appliances from the car via a three-pin plug. Jaecoo also says there are 35 interior storage spaces, while the boot is an impressive 480 litres that can grow to 1,180 litres with the seats down. The E5 is dog friendly, too, with a 'Pet Mode' that keeps the cabin cool for pets when the car is parked, while there is also a range of Jaecoo-branded pet accessories available. Jaecoo also claims that the E5 has been developed specifically for UK roads, hopefully answering some of the criticisms levelled at the E5's sister car, the Omoda E5, with which it shares many of its EV components. Jaecoo, along with Omoda, is owned by Chinese car maker Chery, which has also decided to bring its own-brand cars to the UK starting with the cheerily-named Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8. And like those cars, the Jaecoo E5 will come with a standard seven-year warranty with eight years cover for the battery. As with the Jaecoo 7, a petrol Jaecoo 5 model will follow the electrified model in due course.
