July brings classics, chaos and a whole new energy
PlayStation Plus kicks off the summer with an update that surprises with its variety. In addition to fresh games for tactics and building enthusiasts, two chaotic PS1 cult titles return with Twisted Metal 3 and 4 . With convenient functions such as rewind feature and image filters that catapult the retro feeling into the year 2025. The new editions will be available to download from July 15.
Also on offer in July. The surreal survival game Abiotic Factor, the charming children’s adventure Bluey: The Videogame as well as the island building simulator Tropico 6, the zoo management game Planet Zoo, the roguelike Risk of Rain 2 and the brand new MMO New World: Aeternum, which is already being made available to PS Plus subscribers with the console launch in October. The catalog is growing noticeably – and with it the variety.
But the real star of the month has been in the spotlight since July 9: Cyberpunk 2077, for the first time playable for PS Plus members at no extra cost. And thanks to an accompanying 30% discount on the acclaimed expansion Phantom Liberty now also particularly attractive in terms of price.
Cyberpunk 2077 on PS Plus – better than ever before
The sci-fi role-playing giant from CD Projekt Red has finally come into its own after four years What was still considered a technical failure in 2020 has developed into one of the strongest open-world games of recent years through numerous patches, system modifications and the DLC expansion Phantom Liberty . Those who now return to Night City will find a vibrant, stable and narratively gripping game world – with Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba in the virtual luggage.
The second season of the Netflix series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners has been officially confirmed. Once again produced by Studio Trigger, the new season will tell a completely independent story. Darker, more dramatic and without regard for happy endings. The franchise thus continues to grow – with a game, series and even an announced sequel (Project Orion), which is currently in development at CD Projekt .
