Update: Sony has officially announced the free PS Plus games for July 2021. While A Plague Tale: Innocence is part of the lineup, the other two games are completely different than what was "leaked" online.

Original story follows.

Every month, Sony gives away free PlayStation Plus games to those subscribed to its service. Since the PlayStation 5 launched last year, the free PS Plus games have consisted of two PS4 titles and one PS5 title, allowing subscribers to grow their collection of games considerably.

Usually, Sony keeps a pretty tight lid on the free PS Plus offerings, though there are times when the lineup leaks ahead of time. It seems that at least one PS Plus game for July 2021 has leaked, but there have been "leaks" about the other two games coming, though they're less believable. Sony will announce the free PS Plus games for July 2021 on Wednesday, June 30, and so fans shouldn't have to wait too much longer to find out one way or another at least.

Here are the leaked PS Plus games for July 2021. Please keep in mind that the real games could wind up being something completely different, and so PS Plus subscribers should certainly take this information with a grain of salt.

A Plague Tale: Innocence

Out of all the leaked PS Plus games for July 2021, the one that seems the most likely to be legitimate is A Plague Tale: Innocence. Prior to E3 2021, Resetera user Deluxera claimed that the event would see the announcement of A Plague Tale: Requiem, in addition to a next-gen remaster of A Plague Tale: InnocenceA Plague Tale: Requiem was announced at the Xbox E3 2021 event, and the leaked remaster was announced at Xbox's follow-up event, proving two of Deluxera's claims to be correct.

However, Deluxera also said that A Plague Tale: Innocence would be one of the free PS Plus games for July 2021, with the next-gen remaster specifically being the free PS5 game for the month. Since Deluxera was correct about their other two predictions, it's much easier to believe that they are right about A Plague Tale: Innocence coming to PlayStation Plus as well. And now that we know A Plague Tale: Innocence's next-gen release date, it seems even likelier that it will indeed be one of the free PS Plus games for July 2021.

A Plague Tale: Innocence is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X on Tuesday, July 6. This is significant because July 6 is the first Tuesday of the month, and Sony always releases the new free PS Plus games on the first Tuesday of each month. Not only that, but most of the free PS5 games on PS Plus have been brand new releases, and so A Plague Tale: Innocence would fit that bill as well.

As for what the game actually is, A Plague Tale: Innocence is an action-adventure game with stealth and survival-horror elements. Players have to avoid swarms of deadly rats that are carrying the black plague, taking on the role of Amicia de Rune as she tries to keep both herself and her younger brother Hugo alive. A Plague Tale: Innocence reviews were mostly positive at the time of the game's release, with the game even nabbing some awards as well.

With A Plague Tale: Requiem on the horizon, it would make sense for A Plague Tale: Innocence to hit PS Plus. This way, those who missed out on the game when it first launched in 2019 will get the chance to play it, potentially creating a bigger audience for the sequel in the process.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

German site MyDealz reportedly leaked Uncharted: The Lost Legacy as one of the free PS Plus games for July 2021, though there is some debate as to whether or not the leak is accurate. As it stands, PS Plus subscribers should take this with a massive grain of salt. While there's a lot more evidence suggesting that A Plague Tale: Innocence is one of the free PS Plus games for July 2021, there's far less proving that Uncharted: The Lost Legacy will be part of the lineup.

For those wondering what exactly Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is, it's a standalone expansion to Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. Unlike most of the Uncharted games, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy doesn't feature Nathan Drake as the main playable protagonist. Instead the game focuses on Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross, while still delivering an authentic, though smaller-scale, Uncharted experience.

In Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, players are still completing puzzles and platforming sections while mowing down enemies in third-person shooter segments. There's plenty of witty banter between the various characters, as one would expect from an Uncharted game, and with it being a Naughty Dog title, the production values are off the charts. The game earned critical acclaim when it first launched in 2017 and would undoubtedly be a strong addition to the PS Plus lineup, but fans shouldn't hold their breath. It's entirely possible that Sony has other PS4 games in mind for the free PS Plus games for July 2021 instead.

WRC 9

The other PS4 game rumored for the free PS Plus games for July 2021 lineup is a racing game called WRC 9. Having launched just last year, WRC 9 would be the newest game in the lineup, if the leaks are accurate. It flew under the radar for those who aren't big racing fans, but it still earned mostly positive reviews and would be yet another strong addition to the PS Plus lineup, rounding out an impressive month for the service - assuming the leaks are accurate, that is.

The WRC 9 PS Plus leak comes from the same source as the Uncharted: The Lost Legacy leak, German site MyDealz, and many think that leak was faked. Luckily, fans don't have to wait too much longer to find out if the leak was legitimate or not. Sony almost always announces the free PS Plus games on the last Wednesday of each month, meaning the free PS Plus games for July 2021 will likely be announced as early as Wednesday, June 30, so fans should stay tuned.
