July 2025’s PlayStation Plus Essential Games
Diablo IV delivers fast-paced dungeon crawling and loot-chasing action across a dark open world. You can go it alone or join up to three others online for co-op battles, boss hunts, and endgame content. The PS Plus version includes full cross-play and cross-progression support.
The King of Fighters XV brings back 3-on-3 team battles with 39 fighters. It also includes the “Classic Leona” costume as a bonus for subscribers. Online matches run smoother thanks to rollback netcode, and you can tweak the battle setup to suit your style.
Jusant is a solo climbing adventure where every path tells a story. You’ll scale a mysterious tower, learn to manage your stamina, and explore ruins from an old civilization. It’s a quiet and thoughtful addition to this month’s action-heavy mix. We reviewed Jusant. Here’s our full review for a deeper look.
All three games are available to anyone with an active PlayStation Plus membership on either the Essential, Extra, or Premium tiers.
