Sony has unveiled the PlayStation Plus Essential games lineup for July 2024, including Borderlands 3, NHL 24, and Among Us. Starting from July 2, all three titles will be available for download at no additional cost for PS Plus subscribers. Here are the details.
PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for July
Borderlands 3 (PS5, PS4)
The highlight of July’s Essential lineup is Gearbox’s Borderlands 3, the latest entry in the popular looter-shooter series. Players can explore Pandora solo or cooperatively, battling eccentric foes. The story revolves around The Children of the Vault cult, family drama, and billions of guns.
While the main storyline has mixed reviews, the four DLC expansions provide richer narratives, even bringing back the villainous Handsome Jack. The addition of Borderlands 3 to the PS Plus lineup coincides with the upcoming release of the live-action Borderlands movie, set to hit theatres in August.
NHL 24 (PS4, PS5)
NHL 24, the latest instalment in EA Sports’ long-running hockey franchise, arrives just as the NFL season concludes, offering a seamless transition for sports fans. This iteration boasts a comprehensive gameplay overhaul compared to NHL 23.
This version introduces several new features and upgraded modes, including total control skill moves, an Exhaust Engine for more authentic ice experiences, goalie fatigue, an improved passing system, and physics-based contact.
Among Us (PS4, PS5)
Rounding out the lineup is the viral deception game Among Us. Set in space-themed environments, players become colourful, armless cartoon astronauts, with most acting as Crewmates completing tasks, while a few are Impostors trying to eliminate them.
The game became a massive hit during the COVID-19 pandemic and remains popular due to its frequent updates and engaging gameplay.
Apart from unveiling the free games for PS Plus users, Sony also announced a PlayStation Plus bundle pack for Genshin Impact players containing in-game resources like 160 Primogems, four Fragile Resin, 20 Hero’s Wit, 30 Mystic Enhancement Ore, and 150,000 Mora. The bundle will be downloaded from PS Store on July 16.
Players can still download June monthly games until July 1, which include Streets of Rage 4, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake, and AEW Fight Forever.
