PS Plus Essential July 2025 games reveal time, and when you can download the PS5 and PS4 titles

It's nearly time for a fresh batch of complimentary games for PS Plus subscribers, so make sure to download this month's offerings before they revert to their usual price.

PS Plus continues to have a lot to prove as it oscillates between stellar lineups and disappointing letdowns. The Days of Play event took gamers by surprise when the service unveiled an impressive array of bonus PS Plus games, including new and classic Destiny 2 expansions.

However, since then, the future seems less certain. FBC: Firebreak was a promising addition, but the PS Plus Extra and Premium June 2025 release failed to impress, with Battlefield 2042 landing on the service after being largely abandoned by shooter enthusiasts. The service has plenty in its arsenal for Extra and Premium subscribers either way, so players will be content with their already extensive backlogs, but Essential players could do with more.

This unpredictable pattern has made the service feel like a bit of a gamble. It's even more frustrating for players who feel somewhat trapped, given that they're paying for PlayStation's online service anyway. But there's always hope. The upcoming PS Plus Essential drop could be a game-changer if we're extremely fortunate.

Our PS Plus Essential July 2025 predictions suggested that we might see some viral classics and indie treasures that fans of high-speed shooters will love. However, we won't know for sure until Sony reveals the games, and subsequently drops them in the laps of players everywhere.

So, when can we expect the PS Plus Essential July 2025 reveal? Here's what you need to know about the forthcoming drop.

PS Plus Essential July 2025 reveal time

The PS Plus Essential July 2025 reveal time is scheduled for 8.30am PDT / 11.30am EDT / 4.30pm BST on Wednesday, June 25. This is because the PS Plus Essential games are always unveiled on the last Wednesday of the month before being made available to players on the following Tuesday, which in this case is Tuesday, July 1.

These new games will replace the current PS Plus Essential games, which include Destiny 2: The Final Shape, NBA 2K25, Alone in the Dark 2024 and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. Be sure to download them before they return to their full price, which as we all know, can be a real pain.
