There are big changes for PS Plus subscribers affecting July's free PS5 games – but you'll love the headliner, for sure
Sony is making PS Plus more like Xbox Game Pass from this month
Quick Summary
The latest games coming to the PS Plus game catalogue will be released on different dates in the UK, US and Japan.
They include Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, which will arrive on 21 July.
Sony has announced the latest lineup of games coming to the PS Plus game catalogue and, in a break from the norm, they will be staggered over the next couple of weeks in the UK, US and Japan.
That's a release strategy more akin to Xbox Game Pass than PS Plus in the past, but we're sure PS5 fans won't be whinging as the excellent Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will be leading the way.
It'll be available for PS Plus Extra and Premium members from 21 July in all regions, and is one of the best first-person action adventure games I've played in many a year. It's also arguably one of the best movie tie-ins ever made.
The other games being added might be available a little sooner or later, with the dates jumping around a bit depending on where you live.
Rise of the Ronin, for example, is available for PS5 in the UK, US and Japan now, but in other regions from 21 July.
Firefighting Simulator: Ignite, also PS5-only, will be available everywhere from 21 July, while Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind will be added for PS5 and PS4 from 28 July in UK, US and Japan, 21 July everywhere else.
That's the same day another of my favourite first-person games arrives, too. Dying Light (the PS4 version) will be joined by Citizen Sleep 2: Starward Vector (PS5), as well as Snow Bros. Wonderland.
Things are a bit more regular when it comes to the new (old) games being added to the classic catalogue for PS Premium members. Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy and Indigo Prophecy (AKA Fahrenheit in the UK) will be available globally on 21 July.
