Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration, NBA 2K20, and Erica are your games this month.
Hi everyone! Wow, it’s been 10 years since PlayStation Plus was first introduced to the world on June 29, 2010, and we truly want to thank all of you for supporting PS Plus over the past decade. It’s been a memorable journey over the years, bringing gamers together and providing access to compelling content and exclusive discounts for our members. We wouldn’t be here without all of you, so as a thank you, we wanted to make this upcoming monthly games announcement extra special by adding a bonus game to our incredible lineup.
Here are the games for PS Plus members, available July 7 until August 3.
NBA 2K20
NBA 2K has evolved into much more than a basketball simulation. With its immersive open-world Neighborhood, NBA 2K20 is a platform for gamers and ballers to come together* and create what’s next in basketball culture. Take your skills to the next level, featuring an upgraded motion engine with signature styles, advanced shooting controls, a new dribble size-up system, refined off-ball collisions, and a new read & react defensive game.
Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration
In Rise of the Tomb Raider, Lara uncovers an ancient mystery that places her in the crosshairs of a ruthless organization known as Trinity. As she races to find a powerful and sought-after artifact before Trinity, the trail leads to a myth about the Lost City of Kitezh. Lara knows she must reach the Lost City and its hidden secrets before Trinity as she sets out for Siberia on a thrilling expedition.
Erica**
This feature-length cinematic experience merges high-fidelity Hollywood production values with engaging, tactile gameplay. Become Erica, a brave young lady plagued with nightmares of your father’s murder. With the traumatic events that have haunted you as a child dragged back into the light of the present-day vis grisly new clues, it’s up to you to unearth the shocking truth behind this devastating tragedy. Every choice you make influences how the game develops, with multiple endings awaiting you at the finale of the emotional branching narrative.
We’ll be releasing a free PS4 theme later this week to celebrate 10 years of PS Plus. The theme will be available on PS Store for a limited time, so be on the lookout. For those of you who haven’t tried the online multiplayer benefit for PS Plus, we’ll also be hosting a free online multiplayer weekend starting July 4 at 12:01AM through July 5 at 11:59PM in your local time. (Online multiplayer game sold separately. Requires internet connection and PlayStation Network account.)
It’s great to see how much PS Plus has grown over the years – starting with the very first PS Plus game offered, WipeOut HD, to offering more than one thousand games to PS Plus members over the last ten years. As we walk down memory lane, we’ll leave you with a quick snapshot of PS Plus from this past decade. Thank you again for your continued support and we look forward to celebrating with you!
*Internet connection and PlayStation Plus membership required for online multiplayer.
**ERICA companion app, Wi-Fi connection, and compatible iOS (iOS 9.0 or later) or Android (4.1 and up) smartphone required.
NBA2K20 makes this a bit underwhelming. But glad your including Erica as a Bonus. Maybe you guys can give us 3 games going forwards from now on.
yeah considering it sold so badly and has so much dlc it was being sold for 2-3 quid on ps4/xbox and switch earlier this month its a very poor showing, and pretty underhand they would do it just before goes on ps plus too.
cant fault the other too though, ill just pretend nba is the other bonus game then wasnt expected lol
Did viceforce really have the nerve to ask that you have not even played half of the 1000 games for PS Plus you probably do not even have the hard drive space to begin with. You need to be thankful that you even have the games that you have because of PS Plus ungrateful.
Yup, I need more Vita games. 😁
How is a brand new game underwhelming? Do you want to cry about anything else or do you feel like you are owed something? Maybe you should stop complaining and enjoy what they give us and enjoy what you have it’s called being humble you should try it.
@CYLER08 Maybe because we pay for the subscription? Sony has already technically made the service less valuable as they’ve stopped giving out free games for PS3 and PSVita, so asking for better games on PS4 really isn’t that insane. And “crying” about it actually proves helpful considering a few months ago they were going to put out FIFA for free, but people didn’t like it so they switched it out for Detroit: Become Human.
It was PES not FIFA. I was in the minority who would have much preferred it over Detroit… so it wasn’t good news for everyone, especially as it’s since been delisted.
At least your getting a $60 game for free, 3 games valued at 120$
@Topov81 Yes it was, my mistake. But my point is when a majority wants something else, it’s proven that it can happen. Sorry the game you preferred was switched out btw :/
@antivire Yeah yoi pay $60 a year for 2 or more (a lot of times $60 each) games every month plus a lot of the time, massive discounts during sales. They don’t have to give out any free games at all, so yeah, some of the whiney comments are extremely ungrateful, especially when they are giving out an extra full game for free as a thank you gift. Crying because you personally don’t like all 3 out of 3 free games is just ridiculous.
@antivire Yeah, you do pay for a subscription, and how much does it cost a year? How much are the games they give away every month worth?
What is ridiculous is people like you kovacsjournal38,The fact that we have to pay 60 dollars a year for the subscription gives us the right to say something about it, those games are not even worth their retail price anymore, how tf are we being ungrateful if we have to pay for a service that should be free like it was on ps3, dude people need to stop glorifying this bs.
I agree it’s very underwhelming.
It’s a very odd game for PlayStation to be celebrating with.
First of all, most gamers don’t play sport games, most of the people who buy and play sports games are people who actually enjoy playing them in real life.
Most of those people are on Xbox not PlayStation.
Not to mention that game has some really bad reviews.
I wouldn’t say that game was ever worth $60. Personally it’s a game I’d never play, even if I’m getting it for free.
It’s not necessarily because it’s a bad game or anything like that, (although it does have some pretty bad reviews) but really it’s just not the type of game I enjoy.
Fantastic month, two AAAs and a solid story based game.
Maybe the ppl complaining should switch to Xbox. PS+ has gotten 4 AAA games the past 2 months while Xbox GwG has received none.
PS+ the past 2 months: CoD WWII, Battlefront 2, 2K20, Tomb Raider.
XB GwG past 2 months: Coffee Talk, Shantae, WRC, Dunk Lords.
This month should suit everyone. A current AAA sports title with strong multiplayer, an action game with VR content, a story based choose your adventure game with mobile connectivity.
I just added another year to my sub for $30, through CDKeys. You might want to check if the deal is still going on, it was when I wrote this.
P.S. I’m not a bot, I just think $30 is a really good deal.
Fully agree with July’s ps+ games but tbh its was expected as Sony did get sued for £3.5 million for their lying about the returns policy Google it ACCC set them up and Sony tries to lie by say it was down to the games company when in fact it falls on Sony , so yeah ten years of lies and this is what we get , well Sony sadly when your ps5 drops , I drop with it and so do many of my friends and family , it’s been fun but with you always highering your prices is beyond a joke and paying for a service which is ten years old but still has more down time then my controller is a joke and for modders and hackers still on your service with no really explanation to it either , and companies who never update their game as come on I have been InTouch with slhg and Activision and nothing gets sorted for the latency in the ww2 is so unreal it beyond a joke like you get hit markers but they lag or the game does but yeah still by the DLC’s for money but no update since when ? It falls on you Sony to make sure your games your giving out on plus gets updates as why buy into it if the latency which is wrong , fix up Sony as you still have trillions to burn so use it tell them we need a update ffs
At least it’s better than what Xbox gave out
You know you can’t really say a game is worth 60 dollars if it’s almost constantly on sale for 20. I mean you can, but logically you are wrong.
It cracks me up every time I see someone saying they are giving you games for free, they are not! And I dont mean it’s part of the subscription either. The games are tied to the subscription, its more or less just a free rental, you dont “own” any of those “free” games. Yeah they dont have to do it and I dont care if they do or not. I only have have PS+ because Sony is forcing us to if we want to play games online.
@kovacsjournal38 lol.. suck butt much do ya? Of course they have to give out games, that one of the reasons people suscribe, and if they don’t they lose user base. did you think they did it out of the kindness of their hearts..? Also, they NEVER give out $60 games… games are long costing much cheaper (to you as end user) when they do, and almost nothing to them…
@Exceleron
They’d still sell the subcriptions, people will pay it to play online still lol.
Guess ill install erica to see what that is all about, but yes, very poor this month
@antivire
Hey genius….the Free games they give you are NOT what the subscription service is charging you for. It is the thank you they give you for doing it. SO stop bitching about free gifts. WHat you are paying for is to play online and to get massive discounts on games all year long. People need to stop feeling like they are owed something extra just because they pay for something and getting exactly what has been said they would get.
Ok read a thing in this thread of comments the games are worth $120
Nba2k20 got a few months back $2
Tomb raider £12.99
Erika last sale or one before £3
Total about 25 bucks
All the kids shouting “you should be humble and grateful for what they give you” like the corporation is doing us a favour: That’s late capitalism zoomers for ya. (Everyone that thinks people should pay hard earned money for a product and be “humble & grateful” obviously is underage and only has games thanks to their parent’s money.)
The type of games they keep giving us aren’t even worth 15 bucks. All of these are the kind you can find in the bargain bin.
Well I don’t really care but they are giving us free games if we have ps plus and a ps4 game, just for one game cost 60$
@iamtylerdurden1 Heck I’d take Shantae over thoes games any day honestly. I don’t care much about AAA games but a free game is a free game. I’ll take em
