From July 1 to August 4, all PlayStation Plus subscribers can claim three new games across all tiers:

1. Diablo IV (PS5, PS4):

This action role-playing game from Blizzard features a dark, open world where players can explore solo or team up in co-op mode (up to four players online or two locally). The game focuses on dungeon crawling, gathering loot, and combat using distinct character classes. The PlayStation Plus edition supports cross-play and cross-progression, allowing players to continue their progress on different platforms. The endgame includes large world bosses, trading areas, and skill customisation.

2. The King of Fighters XV (PS5, PS4):

The latest entry in SNK’s fighting game series brings back a 3-on-3 combat system with 39 fighters from its history. It offers online rollback netcode to improve online match stability and multiple game modes for solo or online play. Subscribers also get the “Classic Leona” costume as a bonus, recreating the character’s 1996 appearance.

3. Jusant (PS5):
