Sony has announced the PlayStation Plus Essential Tier games for July 2024: 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 available at no extra cost to PlayStation Plus subscribers starting July 2. Additionally, Genshin Impact players will 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 the standout game in July’s lineup, as the latest installment in Gearbox’s popular looter shooter franchise. Players explore the world of Pandora solo or with friends, facing various enemies and teaming up with quirky allies.
In its 9/10 review, GamerSandy said: “Borderlands 3 sticks to its guns and outdoes itself with an amazing arsenal of weapons, humor, and missions.”
Perfectly timed with the NHL season heating, fans can keep the excitement going with NHL 24, the latest entry 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,” GamerSandy noted in its 7/10 review.
Finally, the PlayStation version of the viral deception game Among Us will be available at no extra cost to PlayStation Plus subscribers. Players work with crewmates to prepare a spaceship for departure, but not everyone is trustworthy.
“Among Us successfully transfers the devious gameplay of in-person cloak-and-dagger games to video game form,” GamerSandy remarked 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 at no extra cost until August 6, 2024. Those who haven’t yet added 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.
