This past month saw Sony make some major changes to its PlayStation Plus subscription service by introducing three brand-new tiers for users to choose from: PS Plus Essential, PS Plus Extra, and PS Plus Premium. Regardless of which tier fans sign up for, though, they are all entitled to the free games that Sony gives away every month. This includes the free PlayStation Plus games for July 2022, which have now been officially confirmed.
The free PS Plus games for July 2022 were leaked ahead of time, but now fans have official confirmation of what games they can expect with next month's offerings, available from Tuesday, July 5 until August 1. The free PS Plus games for July 2022 are headlined by Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, with both the PS4 and PS5 versions of the game available. Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is the latest entry in the popular Crash Bandicoot platforming series, earning critical acclaim at the time of its original release in 2020.
Joining Crash Bandicoot 4 is The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan, a co-op horror game where player choice determines what happens in the story and the fates of the various playable characters. Man of Medan is the first entry in The Dark Pictures Anthology, a series of similar cinematic horror titles all developed by Supermassive Games, the studio behind the recently-released The Quarry.
Free PS Plus Games for July 2022
- Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time (PS4/PS5)
- The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan (PS4)
- Arcadegeddon (PS4/PS5)
And finally, Arcadegeddon rounds out the free PS Plus games for July 2022 lineup, with both the PS4 and PS5 versions available. What makes Arcadegeddon especially notable as a free PS Plus title is the fact that it's a brand-new, day one release. Arcadegeddon has been available on PC in early access for some time, but it's now making the jump to full release, and it's doing so as part of the PlayStation Plus lineup.
For those who may be unfamiliar with the game, Arcadegeddon is an online co-op shooter with both PvE and PvP elements. It's developed by IllFonic, a studio best known for its asymmetric multiplayer titles like Friday the 13th: The Game and Predator: Hunting Grounds.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan, and Arcadegeddon will all be available for PS Plus subscribers to claim beginning July 5, but in the meantime, fans still have time to claim the free PS Plus games for June 2022. The free PS Plus games for June 2022 include God of War, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker, and Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl.
