PLAYSTATION fans are set to receive eight games worth £300 free of charge.
PlayStation Plus allows subscribers to its service the opportunity to try out exciting new games every month.

And throughout July, players have sweeping access to eight fresh releases.
These include Cyberpunk 2077 – an open-world, action-adventure role-playing game set in the dark future of Night City.
Abiotic Factor is also on the shortlist, where up to six players must join forces to survive the depths of an underground research facility.
RPG fans may prefer to opt for Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden where those who dare enter can spar with supernatural creatures.
For kids, Bluey: The Videogame is a welcome addition to the line up and is based on the popular children’s television series of the same name.
Other games on the July roster include management simulation game Planet Zoo, Risk of Rain 2, Tropico 6 and New World: Aeternum.
GAMES DISAPPEAR FROM SCREENS
The fresh releases will be welcome news to fans after it was revealed that six titles will vanish within days.
The games aren’t being deleted – you can still buy them outright if you want to keep playing.
But all six will be removed from the PS Plus catalogue across all tiers of the membership on July 15, 2025.
And it affects gamers playing on the PS5, PS4, PSVR 2, and PSVR.
The list of games is as follows:
- Remnant II
- Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII – Reunion
- Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong
- Dying Light 2: Stay Human
- Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord
- Job Simulator
Importantly, these games will become unplayable for PS Plus subscribers even if you’ve already downloaded them.
These aren’t “claim” games that you install and keep forever.
In a Reddit thread about the change, fans were panicked that they wouldn’t have time to play all of the games.
“Welp I’ve been putting off Dying Light 2 because I heard it isn’t great, but I guess it’s now or never,” wrote one gamer.
Another gamer replied: “Me too. I just gave it another shot after playing it for 30 mins a month ago and not feeling it. Starting to get into it now.
“Now I’m worried I may not have enough time.”
GLITCHY RELEASE
Elsewhere, PlayStation fans urged gamers to avoid a free title they say is glitchy – and not even worth playing.
Ark: Survival Ascended is one of the free games available to play with PlayStation Plus this month.
But some gamers say they’re having trouble with the action-adventure survival title on PlayStation consoles.
One player posting to Reddit said that they spent hours playing the game – only to lose all of their progress, as spotted by ComicBook.
“I love crafting survival games, so I was very excited when this was announced to be on PS Plus,” the user explained.
“I played it for about five hours. Save and close out, take a break.
“When I come back to it? Save file is gone completely.
