As games added to the base tier of the PS Plus subscription service, you will be able to keep playing them for as long as you maintain an active membership. Unlike the two more expensive options, you do not lose access to the games if you continue to pay.

The latest Blizzard game Diablo 4 is your headlining title for July 2025, bringing its hellish action to PS5 and PS4. In our Diablo4 PS5 review, we awarded a 9/10 score and said: "Diablo 4 is the true successor to the bad old days of action RPGs and oozes quality in its frenetic combat and deep, engaging character development." Since release, it's been constantly updated with new content as well as a full expansion.

The King of Fighters XV, meanwhile, is a solid fighting game that could fill the upcoming quieter summer months for you. "Fighting game fans can't really go wrong with King of Fighters XV — a sequel that doesn't shy away from the technical depth of its predecessors," we said in a 7/10-rated review.

Jusant closes out the lineup for PS Plus Essential, which is all about climbing up a tower with a stylish art style. "Despite one or two missteps, Jusant hangs together thanks to a well-realised, unique location and, more importantly, a fun and engaging way to interact with it. The climbing at its core is wonderfully tactile and finds a balance between complexity and accessibility."
