This powerful lineup caters to fans of action RPGs, competitive fighting games, and meditative puzzle experiences, making it one of the most diverse offerings in recent months.
Why Is This Month Special for PlayStation Plus Members?
July 2025 isn’t just about the new games — it also marks the 15th anniversary of PlayStation Plus. The service first launched on June 29, 2010, and over the past decade and a half, it has evolved into a key part of the PlayStation ecosystem.
To mark this occasion, Nick Maguire, VP of Global Services, Global Sales and Business Operations at Sony Interactive Entertainment, expressed gratitude to the global PlayStation community.
“From all of us at Sony Interactive Entertainment, we want to send out a huge thank you to all our fans for your support throughout these years,” Maguire shared in the official PlayStation Blog.
What Makes Diablo IV a Must-Play for PS Plus Members?
Diablo IV, developed by Blizzard Entertainment, is widely considered a benchmark in the action RPG genre. This next-generation installment features an expansive dark fantasy world, intense combat, and endless loot opportunities.
Players can embark on the gripping solo campaign or team up with friends in two-player local co-op or four-player online multiplayer. With cross-play and cross-progression enabled, PlayStation users can seamlessly team up with players across different platforms.
The game also offers a rich End Game experience, with world bosses, trading hubs, and deep character customization options that keep the gameplay engaging long after the main story is complete.
What’s New in The King of Fighters XV for PlayStation Plus Members?
The legendary fighting franchise, The King of Fighters (KoF), returns in its most refined form yet with KoF XV. Developed by SNK, the game continues the series’ signature 3-on-3 team battle system, now enhanced with rollback netcode for smoother online play.
The PlayStation Plus version comes with a special bonus — the “Classic Leona” DLC costume, allowing players to dress the iconic character Leona in her nostalgic KoF ’96 outfit.
With 39 characters, both familiar faces and new challengers, and a variety of game modes, KoF XV delivers both competitive depth and fan-service in equal measure.
What Is Jusant and Why Is It Worth Your Time?
For those looking for a more tranquil and introspective experience, Jusant by Don’t Nod offers a unique climbing and puzzle-solving adventure. Set in a beautifully designed, towering structure, players are invited to ascend at their own pace, uncovering the secrets of a long-lost civilization.
The gameplay revolves around mastering climbing mechanics, utilizing tools, and managing stamina as you explore alternative paths and solve environmental challenges. It’s a perfect title for players seeking a slower, more meditative journey within the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games lineup.
