  • Overall, July's lineup is a significant improvement, offering something for fans of Final Fantasy, challenging gameplay, and silly action.

PlayStation Plus' July offerings are here and subscribers are in for a treat as the service is adding one of the most under-appreciated Final Fantasy games alongside a fantastic 2023 shooter. Following a few months of hit-and-miss additions to the platform, many s were hoping that July would at least provide some decent new games to play following the disappointing inclusion of older titles like Among Us and Borderlands 3 early in the month. Fortunately, the rest of July is looking like it will be a significant improvement.

Announced on the official PlayStation blog, July's PlayStation Plus additions include:

  • Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core Reunion
  • Remnant II
  • Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Enhanced Edition
  • Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
  • No More Heroes 3
  • Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes Complete Edition

The biggest hit included in the selection is undoubtedly Crisis Core Reunion, a remake of the cult-classic PSP game that serves as a prequel to Final Fantasy 7. While the original release may have been divisive amongst fans and critics, Reunion managed to tweak enough aspects to appeal to franchise veterans while retaining a unique gameplay loop.
