Sony has completed 15 years of its PlayStation Plus service and is observing the occasion by introducing several updates, game releases, and special benefits for subscribers across all membership tiers. The company launched PlayStation Plus on June 29, 2010, and since then, the service has grown from offering simple add-ons to including multi-tiered options with cloud streaming, classic games, and a wide-ranging catalogue.
New Games for Subscribers (July)
From July 1 to August 4, all PlayStation Plus subscribers can claim three new games across all tiers:
1. Diablo IV (PS5, PS4):
This action role-playing game from Blizzard features a dark, open world where players can explore solo or team up in co-op mode (up to four players online or two locally). The game focuses on dungeon crawling, gathering loot, and combat using distinct character classes. The PlayStation Plus edition supports cross-play and cross-progression, allowing players to continue their progress on different platforms. The endgame includes large world bosses, trading areas, and skill customisation.

2. The King of Fighters XV (PS5, PS4):
The latest entry in SNK’s fighting game series brings back a 3-on-3 combat system with 39 fighters from its history. It offers online rollback netcode to improve online match stability and multiple game modes for solo or online play. Subscribers also get the “Classic Leona” costume as a bonus, recreating the character’s 1996 appearance.
3. Jusant (PS5):
This game provides a different experience with a focus on climbing and puzzle-solving. Players ascend a vast, abandoned tower using ropes and climbing gear while managing stamina. It does not include combat but highlights exploration and piecing together the story of a forgotten world.
