Sony is back with another strong set of games for July 2025’s PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers, and the offering is stronger than ever. From AAA blockbusters to indie sleepers, the new additions have a little something to appeal to every type of gamer — whether that’s breakneck action, introspective narrative-driven experiences, or retro goodness.
What’s New This Month?
July’s PS Plus Game Catalog is packed with highly demanded fan favorites and next-gen hits. Some of the standouts for July include:
- Final Fantasy XVI (PS5) – A significant addition for PS Plus Extra subscribers, this dark fantasy epic combines frenetic combat with the storytelling weight the series is renowned for.
- Stray 2 (PS5/PS4) – The cat’s back! Explore a cyberpunk city from a feline perspective again in this sequel to the award-winning indie adventure.
- Back 4 Blood: Complete Edition (PS5/PS4) – Gather your squad and fend off hordes of infected in this co-op shooter from the creators of Left 4 Dead.
- Tunic (PS5/PS4) – A mysterious isometric action-adventure that combines Zelda-like exploration with Soulslike difficulty. A must-play for puzzle lovers.
- Sly Cooper: Legacy Collection (PS4) – PS Premium subscribers get all three of the original Sly Cooper games, remastered for modern consoles.
Note:
Some games might not be available in all regions. Check the PlayStation Store for local listings.
Monthly Game Rotation Reminder
Keep in mind that some titles will also be leaving the catalog this month. Sony tends to remove older titles when they add new ones, so it’s a good practice to look over your library and download what you don’t want to lose.
Why It Matters
The PlayStation Plus Game Catalog is slowly becoming Sony’s Xbox Game Pass counterpart, and this month’s additions further cement that aspiration. With premium-quality games, day-one releases, and remastered staples, Sony is clearly trying to add long-term value for subscribers.
Also, with rumor on the street of a potential price increase later in the year, most gamers are watching each announcement to see if the subscription is still value for money.
GameScope Take
Sony is bringing its A-game to the subscription fight — and July’s lineup is proof. Between returning to a classic like Sly Cooper and visiting the world of Final Fantasy XVI, this month has incredible range and replay potential. If you’re not already a subscriber to PS Plus Extra or Premium, this might be the month to sign up.
