PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for July: Borderlands 3, NHL 24, Among Us

All playable July 2.

July brings a billion guns, puck slapshots and the threat of sabotage to PlayStation Plus with the Monthly Games lineup. From July 2*, all PlayStation Plus members** can add the sci-fi looter shooter carnage of Borderlands 3, on-ice action of NHL 24 and the spaceship-set party game Among Us to their game libraries. In addition to those, there’s a Genshin Impact in-game reward bundle available July 16 which is exclusive to PlayStation Plus members. 

Let’s take a closer look at each game. 

Borderlands 3 | PS4, PS5 

Shoot and loot your way through a mayhem-fueled adventure. At the hard edge of the galaxy lies a group of planets ruthlessly exploited by militarized corporations, and brimming with loot and violence. This is your home – the Borderlands. Now, a crazed cult known as The Children of the Vault has emerged and is spreading like an interstellar plague. Only you have the allies and arsenal to take them down. Play as one of four all-new, deeply customizable Vault Hunters – the ultimate treasure-seeking badasses of the Borderlands. Customize your Vault Hunter with tons of personalization options, and use their distinct skill trees to tailor abilities to your preferred playstyle. Play with anyone at any time online or in split-screen co-op, regardless of your level or mission progress. Take down enemies and challenges as a team, but reap rewards that are yours alone – no one misses out on loot.

NHL 24 | PS4, PS5 

Feel the intensity of hockey, as EA Sports NHL 24 brings you closer to authentic on-ice action with a wealth of new game features and upgraded modes. The new Exhaust Engine recreates the rush and fatigue of high-pressure games, rewarding extended offensive play with game-changing effects. Refreshed Total Control Skill Moves and a revamped Vision Passing System broaden your moment-to-moment strategies and allow you to execute them with complete precision. Build your NHL 24 Ultimate Team and recreate moments from classic matches and recent highlights in HUT Moments, and explore the expanded World of Chel, which offers cross-play, a redesigned EASHL and much more.

Among Us | PS4, PS5

Use teamwork, persuasion and maybe even betrayal in this unique online party game… in space! Prepare for departure, but beware the Impostor! Complete tasks to hold your spaceship together and return to civilization, but keep an eye out as one or more random players among the crew are Impostors determined to sabotage the ship and kill everyone. It’s up to the remaining humans to finish their tasks and identify the Impostors to eject them into the abyss. But watch out! The Impostors will use every trick in the book to convince everyone they’re a crewmate, so don’t believe everything you hear. Get your alibi straight or else you might be the one wrongfully ejected!

  • “We who dont buy games and waiting FOR THEM FOR FREE
    we will always will be satisfied WITH PS PLUS ESSENTIAL AND EXTRAS”

    Are you ACTUALLY proud of that statement? Don’t be a gamer if you can’t afford it. “We who don’t buy games”, go get an Xbox then, you will fit right in even with the hardcore Xbox fans that will die on that game pass, not supporting games, hill.

    • download an emulator if you want free games. The PS Plus tiers cost too much to claim “free games”

    • Hah, Game Pass is incredibly successful as a business model. Quit pretending it’s not, you utter rube who probably buys everything at full price.

  • Not to be ude, but this is just another useless month. Borderlands 3 I owned for a couple of years… NHL is just another generic same as every year sports title I have no interest in and I’m pretty sure the Among us craze is over. I swear I keep ps+ just for a way to back up my saves and get a bit more discount on psn store. Not happy with this month at all. Sigh

  • They’re recycling games and not even sneaky about. I beat Borderlands 3 a few months ago because it was leaving PS Plus… only to have them re-announce it like it’s a big deal.

    This is what parents do with kids that got too many gifts for christmas…

  • rafal42-asienk28

    Syf się robi tyle co mam do powiedzenia…miałem GTA 5 zakupione w pakiecie extra i co znikło nie mam …gra była pobrana grałem nagle nie mam dostępu..śmieszni jesteście..jak tak dalej będzie zrezygnuje z subskrypcji tyle w temacie..nie pozdrawiam was

  • All these monthly games (announcements) used to be something to look forward to. Now it has become a guaranteed disappointment for most. Month after month.

    Of course there will always be people that already bought/played some of the games. So at the absolute least for this month include the dlc for borderlands 3. There’s a big group that played the game but not the dlc. That would have actually made me download it again and make me excited. But ofcourse instead of making that group of people happy you would rather have the people that haven’t (or have) played borderlands 3 pay for the dlc. It’s always all about the money.

    There’s also quite a lot of somewhat newer higher quality games that easily could go to playstation plus right now that would make a pretty large group satisfied. But every month (twice a month, for playstation plus Essential and Extra) it baffles me to not even see one. Truly disappointed.

    And I understand that Playstation Plus (Extra) isn’t and can’t be like Game Pass. But at this point, after around two years of the new Playstation Plus format, I just expected a little more.

  • Sports games that are released yearly do not actually count as games. Stop using them as a crutch just because you want to be an amazingly cheap company, thank you.

  • Another Solid S++ good month for me.
    I don’t have any of those!!
    MORE GAMES IN MY LIBRARY!
    So i am actually Excited. :)

    Thank you Adam and Sony Team!!
    Have amazing days out there, ! you guys!!

  • I think this might actually be one of the worst offerings in a long time, and I am normally VERY forgiving of a bad month here or there.

    But to give us Among Us is honestly an insult, especially after the price increases last year to “improve the quality of the games offered”. So we are paying higher prices, for a £3 game that’s out of popularity? I also happen to think the other two aren’t great either, considering Borderlands 3 has already been on Ps Plus, and sports games are very niche, but I can almost forgive these as they are whole full priced games.

    This is the first time in all my years subscribed that I am seriously re considering my subscription, I don’t play online often enough to be actively ripped off like this. I feel like this move has lost a lot of good faith that I had in the company to supply a level of quality that is not being reflected at all in this months choices. I really hope this is remedied.

  • Well — nothing for me this month, but a couple of worthwhile titles.
    BL3 is alright. Its the last decent Borderlands type game. The story is dumb, & the characters are annoying but its still got that BL gameplay which is good. I actually like the traveling on a space ship to different planets, aspect. Its a good offering if you dont own it…but most of us own it, right? Would have been cool to get the DLC tho. Oh well.

    Among Us is an old multiplayer game that never interested me, and its way past its “sell by” date — I think this is a bad choice for PS+.

    NHL 24 is supposedly a quality game. Im not a hockey game fan anymore, but ive heard good things about the NHL franchise. I understand them offering a sports game once in a while.

    Its a fine month. It always sucks to realize nothing excites you personally, but we are so blessed to be able to play and even own so many games, and have so many choices…its easy to take it for granted.
    Anyway….if these games dont interest you, i hope you find something that keeps you having fun in July.
    See you all next month for August’s PS Plus announcement.
    Cheers & God Bless gamers!

  • Already have among us, might try NHL 24 for my Nashville predators, have no interest in borderlands 3

  • With borderlands 3 being free this month they need to fix the crashing issue when your trying play with friends. Other than that I love all the borderlands games.

  • Waiting for something in the middle of that day geezers celebrate the 31st and of-course Resident Evil. But been waiting bit for this stuff that runs on Apple and PlayStation..

  • While I’m glad to get NHL 24 on ps plus, I think it’s very telling for the franchise. I think it might be time for Sega or just someone else to take the reigns. I am sure there is some kind of exclusivity contract in place for the sport and/or maybe just the NHL license, but it just needs to happen to grow the sport in any kind of meaningful way.

  • Would like to see more racing games and more puzzle games on the playstation plus.

  • Well everyone paying for premium does not benefit with this, NHL 24 the best out of the freebies is already on there

  • metyouyourmatch

    Not a great “Free game” line up again.

  • Sadly another month where I either already own the game or don’t like them. At least there is still some interesting stuff being added to the PS extra catalogue.

  • shadowdragon772

    This is too mee just like the start!! that start that will never ends!!!

    SEE YOU THERE PS = Be peace upon You!!!

  • everestthahusky

    It’s the 2nd what are they waiting for an invitation?

  • It’s 1:40 PM local time, July 2, as I type this. Any particular reason these haven’t been updated? On my console, I go into PS Plus>Monthly Games, it says “This content can’t be found.”

    And here I was, hoping to get my digital hockey fix without putting my money directly in EA’s pocket. 😣 (Stamkos to Nashville… *grumble*)

  • Hmm, I am definitely going to try out NHL 24. Maybe it is released this month due to Stanley Cup Finals just ending and hockey fans can enjoy it? Doesn’t Borderlands have couch co-op? If the story is not too weird I will give that a go also, and well Among Us, I can maybe enjoy with my kid and niece since they play it from time to time. I am also looking ahead and HOPE that the PS Premium and Extra titles middle of this month will have a surprising great line up (lol) since well these titles here are not too exciting and they make up for it in a couple of weeks!

  • Disappointing to see some comments moderated out of existence, even when comment guidelines are followed. So I’ll say it again. For those who find themselves unhappy with what Sony’s offering, vote with your wallets. Consumers have power, and if enough people do so, Sony will take notice and adjust accordingly. Don’t just complain and keep paying. If you’re unsatisfied, send a message they will hear.

    In my opinion, mostly meh month on the Essential offerings. Borderlands 3 has been $10 or less both physically and digitally for awhile, Among Us even cheaper, and NHL24 was probably picked up cheaper given it’s a sports title on the back end of its yearly release. When players were told last year that having to pay the 33% hike in PS+ prices would lead to better content offerings, I’m pretty sure players did so hoping for more than what they’ve been offered this month.

    I guess I’ll hold off on some of the remainder of my original comment, since I’m guessing that probably played a part in its moderation, but it boggles the mind that we’re halfway through the PS5’s life and Sony’s software engineers still offer players no ability to back up PS5 saves to a USB drive. Without PS+ and its paywalled cloud storage, players’ save data is locked to the console. If the HD corrupts, the data is lost. I think that choice is intentional in pushing players into the PS+ service, of offering things as a perk that ought to be part of the consoles base functionality.

    So yeah, long story short, if you’re unhappy with what Sony is doing/offering, vote with your wallets. At the same time, if you’re happy with what they’re doing, then by all means, keep paying them.

  • What a shocker another terrible month… :(

  • First time actually logging in to comment because I usually just read all the complaints.lol

    Personally I’m very happy with this selection. Been wanting to try an NHL game for a long time and as a native Las Vegan it’s perfect time to play with our Golden Knights!!!
    Played Borderlands 2 and liked it, looking forward to co-op of Borderlands 3. Not a fan of the Among US but it is what it is.

    Just my opinion but I don’t understand why so many complaints all the time. Hasn’t done any good before that I’ve seen. At the end of the day if you are a gamer chances are you already own or at least played the free games. They can’t satisfy everyone. Some don’t like sports games some don’t like FPS games, some don’t like RPGs etc. I’m happy with it and I look at it as the games are free because I would willingly be paying for the yearly service whether they gave me these games or not. Some months I don’t take any of the games they offer, this month I’ll take 2 out of 3. Good month!!!

  • Among Us is a free mobile game. Borderlands 3 is mid and it goes on sale for ten or less constantly. NHL might be good if you find yourself in the tiny slice of the Venn diagram between gamers and hockey fans.

    Bandwidth costs almost nothing these days, yet the price to connect to Sony’s storefront keeps going up. If you’re able to do so, make the jump to PC gaming, where you don’t pay twice for your internet connection.

  • threearmedmonk84

    Maybe they’ll start doing like all the complainers want and put brand new triple A games on! Cause that makes sense, yanno from a business standpoint.

  • Solid games.
    After several terrible months these are pretty solid.

  • I could of sworn, that among us is a Free 2 play game?
    Why is this even a ps plus offering?

  • great new collection of free games!
    also, your playstation plus service kinda feels like someone is hosting every session, while you are allowed to have bits and pieces of “old” or “new” games.
    is this some trail game testing ground or do you really monitor all plus users on behaviour in-game to provide “new” suitable content?
