PlayStation Plus July games lineup & a thank you for 10 years of supporting PS Plus

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**

PlayStation Plus July games lineup & a thank you for 10 years of supporting PS Plus

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!

PS Plus 10th Anniversary

  • I am not renewing my membership, this is seriously not happening… not expected from sony giving these games on anniversary!!

  • Being not american I couldn’t care less about NBA let alone about NBA2K, with MLB the show it was a similar situation but at least that was a first party game. What’s next Madden the rest of the world just doesn’t care about US team sports. Btw that goes vice versa Fifa or PES shouldn’t on plus either those games just exclude too big territories.

  • Please Sony replace NBA2k with anything else …🙏 🙄

    • Agreed, even nothing is a better option than a toxic, gsmbling promoting piece of filth like nba2k.

  • Ok I usually don’t chime in on these articles. However, due to the anniversary of ps plus I feel I should. Playing online used to be free, and still should be, but the fact. That they consistently give away major titles time and time again, complaining about free games is petty and weak. Xbox used to never give games away and you still had to pay for a membership! So suck it up. They are trying to market to everyone. Acting like an elitist is sad, especially when no-one knows or cares who you are. Now I understand why, even if I don’t agree, they charge a premium. Server costs can get expensive. Someone has to pay for that. Weather its in the cost of games, or a subscription based pay to play model.

    • You know NOTHING of how minimal server costs are, especially if you hardly maintain them, as Sony barely does. How about instead of pretending like you’re smart, you take some time to do some research next time you want to type out a diatribe.

    • You know they get 30% of every game sold right?

    • Server costs aren’t actually expensive, but that’s irrelevant. Sony don’t pay for servers in non Sony games, or peer to peer games (which is basically all of them).

      When you play basically any game but Gran Turismo or Uncharted, Sony aren’t paying for the servers, or the hosting. When I play Monster Hunter, I use Capcom’s matchmaking server, and then host a game using my internet. I don’t pay Capcom, and none of the players pay me, but we all have to pay Sony. Because that’s fair.

      Oh and they’ve never “given away” anything. They run a profit driven service for money were you get game rentals. If it cost them anything, they wouldn’t bother.

  • Can wait to play Erica and the others.

  • How about Rugby 20 in August Sony? 😁😂 You know, a game that a few other countries enjoy…

  • Let’s see what we are offered in such a significant month. How will Sony thank those who have forced to pay for multiplayer for 10 years? They offer us a trash casino simulator with a mini-game of basketball that is no longer sold. They offer us a good adventure game, but which has been sold for a song for about six months and everyone who wanted to have already played it, so it is no longer sold. And a no-name movie that hardly ever sold. This is just spitting at everyone who chose your platform. Thank you, Sony, for making me regret choosing a playstation. I am tired of paying for multiplayer, which should be free, in the next generation I will buy a PC.

    • theking_of_dope

      What he said yall really been dropping the ball the pass few years

    • Boi then stop being poor kid just buy a 60$ Ps plus smh. But I do agree on the games tho they could have made them better

    • ibuy power has some decent, entry level pcs. I recently bought one for my wife.

      Now, the issue with that company is their graphics cards suck out of the box and alot of their pcs don’t have dvd drives so you need to buy an external.
      If you want something good, you might have to add an additional 500 to the price and pick up a 1080 or something. Spent about 1200 on something that’s going to last about 6 years.

      Oh and don’t buy graphics cards used these days. Too many people have been wearing them out and trying to sell them afterwards.

      My wife discovered the irony of having the power to play anything in the world.
      You just don’t feel like playing anything sometimes.

      Some people say don’t buy prebuilts, but not everyone has 2K laying around to buy each and every single little part and wire separately.

  • I didn’t know about the 10 year anniversary even though I remember Plus being announced at E3.I joined Plus on Janurary 2012 and never allowed ma Plus to run off…even with the bs $10 raise and the removal of PS3 and Vita games don’t plan to ever allow ma Plus to run off cuz it’s still a great service but geez Sony really?…freakin erica as the bonus game?…and NBA for the 10th anniversary?…that’s a bad joke right there,y’all ain’t even trying anymore.Should’ve left Battlefront 2 and CoD WW2 for july then…those would be fitting games for the anniversary then yes that excuse of game you call erica could be the irrelevant bonus game.

    At least give an avatar too with that icon…PSPlus 10th Anniversary.

  • Oh yes in the thumbnail of erica,it looks like the girl in the left is from Detroit with the circle on the side of her forehead lol.

  • I didn’t know about this place

  • I didn’t get to download rocket league but all the other games were awesome

  • I would hate to be PS Plus’ wife!
    Ps Plus: « Hi honey! Happy 10 year anniversary! Here is NBA 2K20! »
    Wife: «Ohhh, that’s awkward! Bought it for a couple of quid a couple of weeks ago, thanks….? »

  • In 10 years you guys went from 6 games to 2. Good job Sony.

  • After years of plus member, terminated my subscription. So far not missed at all! Sony stopped respecting is subscribers and the result can be worse if it goes likes this further. I am really sorry.

  • theking_of_dope

    I wanna call yall names but ima just say this 2k is a bs game to give away you know how many mfs already have this game let alone how many people dont care for it smh re7 would’ve been greatly appreciated hell MK10 would’ve been better…

  • 2k20 was junk give us better games for plus

  • To be honest i was extremely disappointed with the May games especially because they were all released on my birthday (a video game character having the same birthday as me was more exciting as those games lol) and this only disappoints me on a similar level because the all ages game that was picked is a genre of game that i hate. Knowing myself though I’ll take it because it’s free lol

  • Awesome line up this month NBA 2k20 cant wait to play it

  • In my opinion (others may vary), last month was better than this month. What really would have been cool for a 10 year anniversary would have been to open the pool of all previous PS4 games offered and let people choose one of the games that they missed and then offer a Exclusive PS game not previously offered. That would have been the ultimate Anniversary offer but what do I know.

  • After reading through the comments, an looking back on the last ten years, it’s been fun.

    IV been a PlayStation player since PlayStation one came out. IV enjoyed many games in general, some I tried on my own I thought would be cool an different an some through ps plus.

    I can however say one thing though in regards to ps plus, maybe not negative exactly, just something I believe they could improve on overall in the future.

    I browse the entirety of the ps store alot in a monthly basis, an see lots of different types of games of all categories in general.

    I also enjoy playing all types of games in general. I like everything from sports, to RPGs, to shooters, to puzzle games, platformers, endless runners, simulators, scary games, Indies, pretty much all kinds, including, kids games.

    An that’s were I see the main thing I could point out about ps plus, I fill like ps plus in general cators more to all other types of games over kids games in general, overall.

    More often then not we get games that are more targeted to a older age group in general, while it’s true we did recently get some sonic games an Portola knights within the last year, ps plus overall through out the last ten years cators less to the younger demographic with games designed specificly for them an more so for all others.

    Just a observation, nothing negative really, like I said I myself enjoy all kinds of games, I just believe this is something they could work more on going forward.

    I am aware there’s the switch out there with great kids games in it.

    However I’m also aware, the PS4 also has lots of great kids games on it to, that hardly ever get a second look through ps plus.

    In my humble opinion, if there motto is truly gonna be an I quote ” for the players” or ” were greatness waits” then I believe that should include all player’s on a regular basis within there programs they offer through their hardware.

    I mean they offer the playroom as a free option from them, even offering a free game on launch of the ps5, clearly targeted towards the young an young at heart here.

    They also cover all other catagories of games on ps plus pretty well overall. From sports to puzzles to shooters an everything in between.

    Kinda surprising really, we got pan mascots like crash, spryo, Yuka laylee which if didn’t know is the predessaor to Bango kazooie, tons of mega man games, super bomber man, just to name a few there are others I could name off easily but I dont wanna make a long list lol.

    Point is there’s plenty of kid focused games I fill they could of, probably should of have pulled from by now through out the PS4 life cycle to date that they just choose not to for whatever reason an that’s something I believe they could do better in in the future.

    Again just my opinion, from looking at ps plus overall throughout the last ten years an comparing the ps 3 ps plus run to the current ps 4 ps plus offerings to date.

    • Read this guys post.
      This is a post of someone who remembers back when the Paystation had variety.

      Variety is what made the playstation so damn good. On one system, you could get every genre of game and then some.

      Now, on modern playstation? It’s literally the same thing you can get elsewhere.

      Now speaking personally, what happened to the exclusives sony?
      There used to be something for everyone.
      Now there’s only something for people who only like four genres.

  • While NBA 2K20 is a bad game that I will never touch, Rise of the Tomb Raider is a great choice to play and Erica since I dont Own those two. But NBA 2K20 I will never play.

  • Can u guy just release them please

  • Yeah fr playstation there something really wrong with u fr nba 2k20 and tomb rider come on

  • I find it hilarious that people are legit disappointed because they featured 2K20. “People who like sports games own an Xbox.” You are completely out of touch. See you next month!

    • Most are disappointed because NBA2k is a poisonous gambling simulator with a basketball mini-game tacked on, it’s nothing more than a scam to fleece cash from unfortunates who should really know better.

  • First, It’s been 10 years already? How does the time fly?

    Second, Christ. PSN+ has gotten a lot worse since the PS3 days.
    When PSN+ was optional, there was an excellent variety of games. It was a subscription service worth having.
    When PSN+ is mandatory, the selection of games is garbage and the only reason you download them is because you’re forced to have it anyway.

  • definitely a disappointing month. more and more every month i feel like the games are either nothing ppl want or things people really want and already bought with the exception of a couple. and for a 10 year anniversary its really rather disappointing.

  • A casino game? Really?
    I would ask if people know what “free” means.

  • A ‘sports game’ (gambling simulator) nobody outside America cares about, a mediocre Tomb Raider game I already wasted time and money on and a visual novel I cannot play as I don’t have a compatible phone, gee thanks.Third terrible month in a row. Combined with your bias shilling for Naughty Dog I think I’m out Sony.

  • So it’s July 2. Are the July PS+ games coming out in August orrrrrrrr? I’m actually looking forward to nba2k20. I’ve been playing 18 on psnow but literally all the extra stuff is locked out on 18. Sony, just release the games on time!!! You literally just hit a button on a website to make it go live. How hard is that?

  • For 10 year “celebration” this is bad. No discount for PS Plus, no significant game selection. Ever since Sony moved the PS headquarters to California the brand has gone to hell. Hopefully they move it back where it belongs.

  • don’t mind erica and tomb raider but c’mon NBA? it was on sale too for 5$ give us a decent game. And plus NBA id filled with microtransactions.

  • Can y’all just chill and be thankful we even get free games? Personally, this is a great lineup. But no, all these ungrateful rumor believing people are filling the community with toxicity, spreading lies about how psplus is a scam. They need money to make sure they don’t get shut down for running loads of servers to let us enjoy gaming, so what is it, $60 a month and free games or a 100% offline modernized brick? Your choice.

    • $60 a year*

    • godf4th3r_s8tan

      I.agree with you

    • 1. There has never been a free plus game. People pay money, which makes it not free.

      2. Thanking a corporation for running a service is all kinds of silly. They do it because it makes them profit, with money as the only goal, not as a charity. If it made them no money they’d shut it down tomorrow.

      3. Sony don’t pay for servers other than Sony games hosted on dedicated servers (so not anything p2p, like most games). So basically they don’t actually pay for any game servers at all.

      4. Sony have closed servers for loads of their own games (Gravity Rush 2, Driveclub, etc. etc. etc.) and do so all the time. They don’t host games for others either, it’s down the the individual companies (and no, Sony doesn’t pay them).

      5. Games have had free online since the 80s. Companies pay for servers to make their game more tempting. Companies still pay for their own servers on the PS4, we just have to then pay Sony to access them.

      Basically there is ZERO reason to pay Sony as they actually have very, very little to do with the online in games. There is also ZERO reason to thank a corporation for making money. Companies like to have this kind of feeling, and make you feel like you owe them, but don’t be so easily fooled.

  • Boring

  • Thank you for the generous offers! However, wouldn’t a more international sporting game make more sense? Like FIFA.

    Football is really popular in Europe, Central and South America. Its basically a religion!

  • Nba2k20 should of been free to begin with since it has predatory mircotransactions like a free to play game, and 2k21 is apparently going to be 70 next gen, better not become the norm for all games if cut and resold as dlc content keeps happening along with mircotransactions

  • I’m happy for 2k I just wish I got something else that tomb raider I was think of buying 2k but now I don’t have too I wish the 3rd game was a PlayStation exclusive

  • NBA2K20 😒😒😒 ….

  • godf4th3r_s8tan

    I can’t wait for the PS5 it’s gonna be awesome!!!

  • speakingspoon56

    Don’t make us pay to play online for games we already bought and a console we bought also make ps plus only something special for discounts and monthly games and let us who don’t buy ps plus play our games

  • I am a bit dissatisfied with the line up aside from tomb raider simply because it does not scream anniversary of PS plus. I am not a sports guy nor a visual novelist. I barely play adventure games. I have ps plus simply for the online features in many of my rpg favorites. Though if I saw at least one solid rpg in the mix or even a few games from the yester year collections (ps2 on ps4 or a few ps3 port overs) that defined what PlayStation was and is. I could have respected the line up more then this.

  • I guess the don’t be a jerk thing fell on def ears

  • FalseCracMedEvac

    **** I like the drop this month

  • how come it is not showing July games only June games !!!!!

  • For us who are actually subscribed to EA 2K NBA is already free, which means we have 2 games to choose from.

  • Do we know what time today (UK time) the games will be available to download?

  • Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration was just for sale in the store. Why would you sell it right before giving it away? And basketball? Appealing only to USA audience? After the simulator games as well. PS Plus is not turning out memorable At All.

  • dominican_flaco2

    WhAt time

  • The Rise of the Tomb Raider is korean/chinese version only, no english version. How can we play it if we dont understand it. Do you need us to learn korean & chinese language just to play this? This is bull….

  • oaktown510reyder

    Won’t let me download the NBA 2k20. Message saying “content unavailable at this time”. I have way more than enough space on my console. Anyone else having this issue?

  • This is just sad. It feels like Sony said ‘We are throwing the biggest celebration ever, but everyone who is invited needs to foot the bill for the festivities.” Why even bother doing it at all.
