Sony has announced the PlayStation Plus Essential Tier games for July 2024 are Borderlands 3 (PS4 and PS5), NHL 24 (PS4 and PS5), and Among Us (PS4 and PS5).
Revealed on the PlayStation Blog, all three games will be made available at no extra cost to PlayStation Plus subscribers on July 2. Genshin Impact players will also gain access to the PlayStation Plus Pack on July 16 which includes 160 Primogems, four Fragile Resin, 20 Hero’s Wit, 30 Mystic Enhancement Ore, and 150,000 Mora.
Borderlands 3 is perhaps the biggest game in July’s line-up as the latest game in Gearbox’s beloved looter shooter franchise. Players explore the world of Pandora either solo or with friends, taking on all manner of over the top baddies and teaming up with just as many wacky allies.
In our 9/10 review, IGN said: “Borderlands 3 sticks to its guns and outdoes itself with an amazing arsenal of weapons, humor, and missions.”
Perfectly timed with the NFL season wrapping up, fans can keep the excitement going with NHL 24, the latest in EA Sports’ hockey franchise.
“NHL 24’s new gameplay features reinvigorate the on-ice action, but its collection of unimproved game modes has grown increasingly boring with each passing year,” IGN said in our 7/10 review.
Finally, the PlayStation version of viral deception game Among Us will be available at no extra cost to PlayStation Plus subscribers. Players must work together with a team of crewmates to prepare a spaceship for departure, but not everyone will play nice.
“Among Us successfully transfers the devious gameplay of in-person cloak-and-dagger games to video game form,” IGN said in another 9/10 review. “Murder and deception on a whimsical cartoony spaceship is so much fun that the only real question is what took it so long to catch on?”
Borderlands 3, NHL 24, and Among Us will be available be available at no extra cost until August 6, 2024. Those who’ve yet to add June 2024’s PlayStation Plus games to their library — SpongeBob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake, AEW Fight Forever, and Streets of Rage 4 — have until July 1 to do so.
