Each month, PlayStation Plus subscribers get to download three free games. As long as you’re PS Plus subscription is live and active, you’ll be able to play these games forever, for as long as you want. While the announcement of the following month’s games tends to come at the end of the previous month, that doesn’t mean we can’t make a few guesses. Here’s what we think could be the July 2021 PS Plus free games.
The free games are split between one PS5 title and two for PS4. As such, we’ve broken our predictions down in this way, so let’s dive right in.
The PS5 Game – A Plague Tale: Innocence
A Plague Tale: Innocence was one of the most interesting and unique games to release in 2019, and we received the fantastic news during the Microsoft and Bethesda E3 2021 showcase that a sequel is on the way, slated for 2022.
That in itself makes A Plague Tale a viable option for the PS Plus free game for July 2021, but what makes it even more likely is the fact that a PS5 version of the game was confirmed just yesterday, and it releases on July 6.
The PS5 version will run at 4K, 60 FPS with 3D audio, so you’re sure to find Amicia and Hugo’s escape from the English Army and what can only be described as a torrent of rats even more immersive than ever.
Given the free PS Plus games tend to go live on the first Wednesday of each month, A Plague Tale’s PS5 release is conveniently the day before.
While this doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed to come to PS Plus, it is very convenient timing, and Sony has been partnering with developers and publishers to bring a number of PS5 titles to the subscription service on release date. Bugsnax, Operation: Tango, and Destruction: All Stars are all examples.
Will we be right? Only time will tell.
