These three new PlayStation Plus games will dominate your weekend (July 18-20)
If you're a PlayStation player worried that Nintendo Switch 2 fans are having all the fun this weekend with Donkey Kong Bananza, fear not because I have an entire lineup of new games coming to the service to recommend for this hot July weekend. Even after we got the surprise drop of Cyberpunk 2077 last week, the new slate of games available now is certainly not a downgrade. This weekend, you can choose to go back in time for a paranormal action adventure, engross yourself in a deep action MMORPG, or enjoy a nice throwback to a classic PlayStation franchise. Whatever you're in the mood for, I have the best games on PlayStation Plus you should play this weekend, so let's dive in. Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden was largely overlooked when it came out in early 2024, when it launched next to some bigger-profile games. However, this story-driven game from DON'T NOD is a special one that you don't have any excuse to ignore anymore. If you love a lovingly crafted world, rich characters, and a unique twist on traditional mechanics, this game has it all. You will play as both Red and Antea, a married pair of Banishers who act as spirit hunters in 1695. Only Antea has been killed and is turned into a spirit. Each choice you make impacts your relationship with each other as well as the people in New Eden. Recommended Videos Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. New World: Aeternum Originally launched as simply New World, New World Aeternum is the brand-new console port of the hit PC MMORPG. Unlike traditional MMOs, New World doesn't rely on auto-attacks and rotating skills on cooldown. Instead, the action feels much closer to a classic action RPG. Another unique aspect that keeps the combat engaging is in how enemies scale their behavior, not just stats, to your level. As you get stronger, they will employ more tactics and strategies to counter you, forcing you to fully master your character's build. Since the game originally came out in 2021, there is a ton of content ready to go now that it has hit PS5, so jump in and see if this world grabs you. New World: Aeternum is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Twisted Metal 3 If you've been reading my recommendations every week (and you have, haven't you?), then you're fully prepared to jump into Twisted Metal 3 this weekend. I've been building you up through the series not only to prepare for the third and fourth game to come to the service this month, but also the return of the show. Even if you're not interested in tuning in, these last two entries in the car combat series are still a blast to play for some quick, mindless fun this weekend. They're not huge leaps above the original two, but steamline the experience and smooth over some of the edges. Twisted Metal 3 is available now on PS4 and PS5.

Games DELETED from millions of PlayStation and Xbox consoles in days – last chance to download them free
GAMERS have until midnight tonight to download a series of titles as stores continue with their sweep of closures. Tomorrow is going to be a super busy day for the PlayStation Plus subscription service. 1 That is when new games – including Cyberpunk 2077 – are going to be added. At the same time, a handful of titles such as Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong are getting the boot. The new PS Plus Extra and Premium Games coming on July 15 include: Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden Bluey: The Videogame New World: Aeternum Planet Zoo Risk of Rain 2 Tropico 6 Twisted Metal 3 (Premium only) Twisted Metal 4 (Premium only) It comes after it was revealed Microsoft took three months to remove a game that was an edited emulation of a PlayStation title. The PlayStation Plus July 2025 Extra and Premium tier updates have been handled a little differently than usual. Instead of all the new games coming on the same day, PS Plus subscribers have been treated to one in advance. Cyberpunk 2077 has been added to the Extra tier of PlayStation Plus as part of the subscription service's 15th anniversary celebration. Huge addition It is seen as a huge addition to PS Plus and should ensure that Extra tier subscribers get more value from their subscription. Additionally, Abiotic Factor is coming to PlayStation Plus on July 22, a full week after the usual update. Abiotic Factor is a day one release and should make for an exciting addition to the lineup. Get an inside look at the new PS5 30th anniversary edition At least six games are leaving PS Plus Extra and Premium on July 15, including some rather heavy hitters. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion is getting the boot, as is Dying Light 2: Stay Human. PS Plus subscribers also have to say farewell to Job Simulator, Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord, Remnant 2, and Vampire: The Masquerade - Swan Song. Out of these, Crisis Core, Dying Light 2, and Remnant 2 will probably sting the most, though PlayStation VR owners will likely be sad to see Job Simulator go as well. Ripped off In other tech news, it was recently discovered that the Xbox storefront was playing host to an edited version of a PlayStation title being run via emulation. The game, which has since been removed by Microsoft, was sold and passed off as a legitimate game, according to The Gamer. As first spotted by TrueAchievements, and as reported on originally by Digital Foundry, Anti-Gravity Racing WipEout was originally released in April and sold for $14.99 but was not an original game. This isn't the first time that a PlayStation title was seemingly ripped off and ported to Xbox. Back in 2022, a God of War clone was available, featuring a near-identical version of Kratos. It was promptly removed.
