PlayStation Plus subscribers face a longer wait for the July 2026 PS Plus Essentials line-up due to the calendar layout. The next batch of free PS5 games will be announced on July 1 at 4:30pm BST, with the games launching on July 7, the first Tuesday of the month. This gives players additional time to redeem the current June line-up, which includes Grounded Fully Yoked Edition, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.
When Will the PS Plus Games Be Announced for July 2026?
Fans hoping for an imminent reveal will be disappointed. Unless Sony holds a State of Play event or changes its schedule, the next wave of PS Plus Essentials will be announced on July 1 at 4:30pm BST. The delay stems from the games launching on the first Tuesday of July, which falls on July 7. This means subscribers have two more weeks before they can download and play the new titles.
Current PS Plus Games for June 2026
Subscribers can still grab the current batch of titles for June. The headline game is Grounded Fully Yoked Edition, a survival game where players are shrunk to the size of an ant and must survive the dangers of a backyard. It features co-op multiplayer for up to four players. Also included is Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, a Smash Bros-style fighting game featuring characters like Spongebob Squarepants and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Finally, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a co-op shooter against hordes of enemies.
