PS Plus Essential July 2026 free games for the month are now available, starting with Japan and Asia, where it’s Tuesday, July 7. Unlike the Extra and Premium tiers, Essential games aren’t region-specific, so players worldwide can access the lineup simultaneously when the PS Store updates at noon local time.
Complete List of PS Plus Essential July 2026 Games
This month, PS Plus members can download Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (PS5, PS4), Both the King II (PS5, PS4), and CrossCode (PS5, PS4).
If you haven’t grabbed June’s free games yet, now’s your last opportunity. That lineup includes: Grounded Fully Yoked Edition (PS5), Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 (PS5, PS4), and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide (PS5).
This month’s PS Plus announcement has been overshadowed by controversy surrounding Sony’s decision to discontinue disc production for PS5 games. As gamers process this news, social media is flooded with memes and criticism directed at Sony. Politicians are also weighing in on what this change might mean for consumers.
Adding to the buzz, there are indications that Sony may soon raise the price of PS Plus subscriptions once again to boost revenue from the service.
Unfortunately, at its current pricing, it’s hard to recommend any PS Plus tier, let alone the prospects of paying more for it.
