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.

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.
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.
