PS Plus Announces July Free Games: What We Know So Far

To coincide with the tenth anniversary of PlayStation Plus, the free games for the month of July on PlayStation Plus have been revealed to be “NBA 2K20” and “Rise of the Tomb Raider” and one extra game in “Erica.”

PlayStation Plus was first introduced to the world on June 29, 2010, and the PlayStation Blog said, “It’s been a memorable journey over the years, bringing gamers together and providing access to compelling content and exclusive discounts for our members.”

On top of the usual two free games for PS Plus members for the period of July 7 until August 5, a bonus game has been added “as a thank you” for the decade of support.

In “NBA 2K20,” an upgraded motion engine with signature styles, advanced shooting controls, a new dribble size-up system, refined off-ball collisions, and a new read and react defensive game are on tap. Basketball games have definitely come a long way, and just as the NBA prepares to return to finish their season, it’s as good a time as any to immerse yourself in “NBA 2K20.”

The action-adventure game “Rise of the Tomb Raider” once again places adventurer Lara Croft front and center as she uncovers an ancient mystery that places her in the crosshairs of a ruthless organization known as Trinity. Lara races to find a powerful artifact leading to the Lost City of Kitezh ahead of Trinity taking her all the way to an exhibition in Siberia.

“Erica” is a feature-length cinematic experience that merges high-fidelity Hollywood production values with engaging, tactile gameplay. Players become the title character, whose father was murdered when she was a child, leaving her plagued with nightmares. Multiple endings await in this game where every choice you make influences how the game develops.

In addition, Sony will release a free PS4 theme later this week to celebrate a decade of PS Plus that will be available on PS Store for a limited time.

Further promoting the online multiplayer benefit for PS Plus, the PlayStation Blog says that they will also be hosting a free online multiplayer weekend starting July 4 at 12:01 a.m. through July 5 at 11:59 p.m. in player’s local time.
