PS Plus subscribers are often found waiting for the end of the month to learn about the latest free games coming their way. PlayStation’s counter to Xbox Game Pass offers access to hundreds of titles through its game catalogue, plus a bespoke selection of new games added every month. To help keep you in the loop, we have put together a comprehensive guide on all the monthly PlayStation Plus free games, including the latest July 2026 titles.
Free PlayStation Plus Monthly Games in July 2026
Sony has officially revealed the free PlayStation Plus games lineup for July 2026. Check out the new games coming to PS Plus this month below:
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
- For the King 2
- Cross Code
PlayStation Plus subscribers can start playing these three titles on July 7, 2026.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
- Release Date: November 10, 2023
- Platforms: PS5 Pro, PS5, and PS4
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, one of the mainline entries in the COD franchise, will finally be available to play as a free PlayStation Plus monthly game this month. In case you didn’t know, COD: MW3 is a direct sequel to the popular MW2 and follows Captain Price and his Task Force 141 going on a hunt for the ultranationalist war criminal Vladimir Makarov.
In addition to the main story campaign, PS Plus subscribers can also enjoy the co-op zombies and multiplayer modes. So, it is the perfect time for players to replay COD: MW3 and gear up for the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, releasing on October 23, 2026.
For the King 2
- Release Date: November 2, 2023
- Platform: PS5 Pro and PS5
We have yet another sequel game in the PlayStation Plus monthly games July line-up, and it’s none other than For the King 2 from IronOak Games. It is a turn-based tactical roguelite RPG, not a roguelike. For the King, released in 2018, was a hit, and IronOak expanded on the roguelite foundation laid by the predecessor game in the sequel.
The original Queen from the first game unexpectedly becomes evil in For the King 2. Thus, a party of adventurers embarks on a journey to slay the tyrannical ruler and restore the peace in the kingdom. If turn-based tactical RPGs are your jam, For the King 2 is right up your alley and comes with a rogue-lite twist.
Cross Code
- Release Date: September 20, 2018
- Platforms: PS5 Pro, PS5, and PS4
Well, if you are tired of playing AAA games and looking for something fresh, let me introduce you to Cross Code. Radical Fish Games released the ARPG title in 2018, and it took three more years for Cross Code to arrive on PS5. Now, Cross Code is finally available to play for free in the PlayStation Plus monthly games catalog.
Players follow the life story of Lea, who unexpectedly ends up in a fictional world with no recollection of her past. Thus, players take control of Lea in this ARPG experience, where they play from a top-down perspective. Cross Code is totally worth checking out this month if you are seeking a niche game to play.

The list is frequently refreshed with some of the best PS5 games available on the market.
PS Plus Subscription Prices to Access Free Games
Over the past few years, the PlayStation Plus service has received price hikes. It has evolved into a multi-tier model, with each level offering unique benefits. You’ll get free games and online features such as cloud saves across all tiers, but there are some differences to take note of.
Starting at the entry level, the PS Plus Essential tier offers online multiplayer features, access to exclusive sales, and monthly games. The slightly more expensive PS Plus Extra tier lets you access the expansive games catalogue, as well as a selection of Ubisoft titles.
Finally, PS Plus Premium serves up the complete package, including a Classics Catalogue (Games from the PS1 and PS2 era) and exclusive game trials for the latest titles.
