Last month we gave all PlayStation Plus members an Instant Game Collection that included 12 full PS3 and PSN games, and it’s been a resounding hit with gamers everywhere! This month, we’re continuing the free game goodness by bringing three new titles to your collection in PlayStation Plus.
Break out the fireworks for the July 3rd PlayStation Store update, where PlayStation Plus members will be able to download Gotham City Impostors, Pac-Man Championship Edition DX, and Renegade Ops for FREE!
July 3rd PlayStation Plus Update

Gotham City Impostors: Previously announced as 50% off in Plus as part of the PSN Summer Sale, we’ve got a surprise for Plus members as Gotham City Impostors will be free for the month of July! Hatched from the twisted minds at Monolith Productions, Gotham City Impostors is a download-only multiplayer FPS that pits violent vigilantes (dressed up like Batman) against craven criminals (dressed up as the Joker) in open warfare on the streets of Gotham City. Since its release, there have been a ton of new additions to the game, including more customization options, thousands of player unlocks and upgrades, and more. Check out Giant Bomb’s review praising its gameplay and outstanding humor. Add this phenomenal multiplayer FPS to your collection this July – free with your PlayStation Plus membership.

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX: This edition of one of gaming’s most beloved franchises takes the series in a bold, and incredibly addictive direction. With fast-paced gameplay, countless twists on the classic Pac-Man experience, awesome head-bumping music, and crazy-good leaderboard integration, Pac-Man Championship Edition DX is a title that no gamer should miss — IGN gave it a 10 out 10! And now, with your PlayStation Plus membership, you won’t have to!

Renegade Ops: Last year’s PSN PLAY promotion introduced 4 amazing PSN games to heat up the last days of summer. Renegade Ops was one of those titles and deservedly so. The critically-acclaimed PSN game boasts 4 player co-op, destructible environments (using the Just Cause 2 engine), addictive gameplay, and lots of fun add-ons. This title will spice up your PlayStation Plus game collection with firepower on the back of co-op gameplay, and is a true must-download for all members. Check out 1up.com’s Renegade Ops review, where it scored a perfect “A” grade.

(Please note that Virtua Fighter 5, Hard Corp: Uprising, and Zombie Apocalypse will be rotated out of the PlayStation Plus catalog on 7/3. However, you can still download them prior to the 7/3 PlayStation Store Update hits, and will be able to keep them in your collection as long as you are a PlayStation Plus member – so if you haven’t added these awesome games to your queue then we suggest you do so now! )
It look long enough for you guys to post this for plus members. I don’t like waiting until the day before. I know renegade ops is good since I have it on my 360. Does it come with the DLC ???
Hopefully Gotham city and Pac man are also great games I cant wait until tomorrow.
i was just about to buy Gotham City Imposters too! I don’t own any of these 3 games so that’s great for me. Can’t wait for Rainbow Moon though.
@morgan Great discounts on anticipated new releases you say…. If your talking about Quantum Conundrum I’m in!
I see I had every reason to be worried about the new Plus. I’m sorry but this sucks. Only 3 games a month now, no psone classics or minis, and the 3 games aren’t even big AAA titles to make up for the loss. Well if things don’t change by the time my sub runs out then you just lost a sub. I’m sure I am not alone on that either. Old PS Plus was far superior. This instant game collection thing is a sham to sucker people in with that first month wave of games only to set themselves up for disappointment.
Awesome! I showed a friend the benefits of Plus and he was sold. Now there’s even more reasons.
Please look into a way to sort games by adding tags, just like on the right of this blog. With so many games in overlapping categories, I’d like to find them in multiple folders when I sort by tags like “local multi player”, “retro remake”, or “zombies”.
Answering your questions:
#1 I think that by doing a steady feed you can please everyone easier and make it more refreshing on the PSN Store. Its hard to go through everything at once when its provided as the PSN store is updated every week with new content.
#2 I would rate the current instant game collection a 6. There are a few games that are currently up there that i really enjoy like Saints Row 2, Contra, Infamous 2, LBP2, and others. However I feel that you guys should try to get a lot of the games like Assassin’s Creed or other games that you have offered as free trial into the instant game collection as well. This might be cool. I wouldn’t mind having Darksiders in the instant game collection. So thats just something to think about.
As for this weeks PSN+ update?
I have to give it a 7 out of ten. Gotham City imposters is fun, Pac-Man and Renegade Ops show a lot of promise and their free which no one should be complaining about since you have the PSN+ to get the games. I think if you were able a mixture of some more recent and well received first and third party games that might be better.
I hope you get the chance to read this and respond, Thanks for the Update!
Wish I had not purchased 2 out of 3 of the new ones on XBLA right now!!
i wish you hadn’t too!
