PlayStation Celebrates 15 Years of PS Plus with Free July 2025 Games

PlayStation has a huge milestone to celebrate this summer: the 15th anniversary of PS Plus. Launched on June 29, 2010, PS Plus has evolved into a cornerstone of Sony’s gaming ecosystem, providing subscribers with free games, discounts, and online multiplayer access.

To mark this incredible achievement, PlayStation is rolling out a new selection of free games for PS Plus Essential subscribers, including the highly anticipated Diablo IV, Jusant, and The King of Fighters XV for July 2025.

These titles are part of PlayStation’s monthly offerings, but this particular selection comes as part of a celebration of the 15 years since PS Plus was first introduced. Nick Maguire, vice president of global services at Sony Interactive Entertainment, shared in a PlayStation Blog post: ‘We hope you can join us for a number of celebratory activities we have planned this summer to commemorate this incredible milestone.’

The new PS Plus offerings will be available starting on July 1, and players can add them to their libraries for free with an active PS Plus subscription. Along with these games, the celebrations include some additional perks. For instance, there will be another free online multiplayer weekend from June 28-29, allowing everyone, whether they’re subscribed to PS Plus or not, to enjoy online gaming with friends.

PS Plus Premium subscribers can also enjoy extra perks, such as a 15% discount on films through the Sony Pictures Core app, along with a Monster Hunter Wilds game trial and a WWE 2K25 trial. All PS Plus members will have access to a weekend of exclusive discounts on the PlayStation Store and can download a special Valorant PS Plus Pack, which includes some cool cosmetics to flaunt in-game.

While this is just the beginning of the month’s celebrations, Maguire promised more announcements to come, including updates on the PS Plus Extra and Premium-tier game offerings. He also directed players to the PlayStation Plus section of the official website for further details about the anniversary events. Looking back, he added: ‘In the last 15 years, we have focused on providing access to quality game experiences through PlayStation Plus, along with key benefits such as exclusive PlayStation Store discounts, online multiplayer access, Cloud Game Streaming, and more. Over 500 monthly games have been offered since the launch of the Monthly Games benefit, formerly known as Instant Game Collection.’

Here’s to another 15 years of great gaming experiences with PS Plus. Stay tuned for more exciting updates as PlayStation continues to celebrate its legacy!
