🎮 PlayStation Plus Monthly Games – July 2025 (July 1 – August 4)
🔹 Diablo IV (PS5, PS4)
- Why it’s a standout: A flagship action RPG from Blizzard, Diablo IV delivers deep loot mechanics, intense combat, and a dark, atmospheric world. With its robust co-op and seasonal content, it’s a must-play for fans of ARPGs.
- PS Plus highlight: This is a premium title that typically sells for $69.99 — a massive value for members.
- Bonus: Full access to the base game and all current DLC (like Fate of the Mages and The Lord of the Mages), though full seasonal content may require additional purchases.
🔹 The King of Fighters XV (PS5, PS4)
- Why it’s a standout: SNK’s return to form in the legendary fighting series. KOF15 brings a modernized roster, refined mechanics, and a cinematic story mode. It’s also a nostalgic tribute to the golden era of 90s arcade fighters.

🔹 Jusant (PS5 only)
- Why it’s a standout: A beautifully crafted, atmospheric narrative-driven adventure from Don't Nod (creators of Life is Strange and Dare Devil). Jusant blends mystery, emotional storytelling, and a hauntingly poetic world where memories shape reality.
- Genre: Third-person narrative adventure with puzzle and exploration elements.
- Why it fits: Shows PS Plus’ commitment to supporting diverse, indie-driven experiences that stand out for emotional depth and artistry.
