July’s PlayStation Plus Essential games have been revealed

July 2022’s free PlayStation Plus Essential games have been revealed by their usual leaker.

Dealabs user billbil-kun, who has been accurately leaking the PS Plus line-ups almost every month since September 2021, has revealed what they claim to be the new titles coming to the service in July.

The new batch of games reportedly includes Crash Bandicoot 4 and Man of Medan, the first game in The Dark Pictures anthology.

UPDATE 29/06/22: Sony Interactive Entertainment has officially announced July 2022’s PlayStation Plus games.

ORIGINAL STORY CONTINUES: According to billbil-kun, the three games available from July 5 to August 2 will be:

• Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time (PS5/PS4)
• The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan (PS4)
• Arcadegeddon (PS5/PS4)

PlayStation Plus Essential is the new name for the base PS Plus subscription service, where players get access to a few ‘free’ games every month.

Players can continue to play these games even after they’re no longer available to claim at the end of the monthly period, as long as they continue to subscribe to PlayStation Plus Essential (or a higher tier).

Once their subscription ends, they’ll no longer be able to play these games until they re-subscribe.

June’s PlayStation Plus games are still available to claim until July 4. These are God of War (2018), Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker and Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl.
