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.

TV tonight: a hilarious and heart-tugging finale for Big Boys
10pm, Channel 4 Jack Rooke's semi-fictional comedy drama is a joyride of great gags, but at the heart of it have always been the heavier themes of mental health and grief. So prepare for the closing double-bill finale, as Danny (Jon Pointing) grapples with the end of university and thoughts of the future. Pointing, along with Dylan Llewellyn, who plays his best mate Jack, has been spectacular in telling this story – and it gets a fittingly poignant (but still hilarious) ending. Hollie Richardson 7pm, Sky Nature Planet Weird has set itself a UFC-worthy challenge this week: to show us the most gruesome and bizarre forms of wildlife combat. Fortunately, there's no shortage of that in the animal kingdom. Standouts include neck-wrestling giraffes, a spider who dominates then devours their prey, and even the unassuming koala … who is not so cuddly, after all. Ellen E Jones 8.05pm, BBC One Another week, another set of quietly subversive goings-on at Nonnatus House. Joyce (Renee Bailey) anxiously awaits her disciplinary hearing – when, in fact, she is the one who has been the victim of vile racist abuse. Meanwhile, a young couple who have struggled with addiction prepare for the arrival of their second child. Hannah J Davies 9pm, ITV1 This hardy cold-case perennial has looked its age at various points during its sixth series but its climax over the next two nights should still be gripping. In this penultimate episode, arrests are made – but with lies abounding, hardly anyone seems to believe that's the end of the matter. Meanwhile, Jess and Steve prepare for a showdown. Phil Harrison 9pm, BBC Four As with most of his pieces, Edward Elgar hid a riddle in Enigma Variations – and it is yet to be conclusively solved! The masterpiece is performed here by the BBC Philharmonic at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall, in a programme that is completed by Arvo Pärt's Swansong. HR 9.05pm, BBC One A weepy but uplifting end to the drama inspired by Jane Austen's sister Cassandra, who in real life burned the author's private letters. As Cassandra (Keeley Hawes) remembers Jane's (Patsy Ferran) final years of ill health, in the present she sets out on a mission to find their niece a new home – and it involves some good old Austen-esque matchmaking. HR Premier League Football: Newcastle v Nottingham Forest, 1pm, Sky Sports Main Event Man City v Liverpool is at 4pm. Super League Rugby: Leigh v Huddersfield, 2.15pm, BBC Two At Leigh Sports Village.
