PlayStation Plus July Free Game Update Is Off To A Worrying Start

We don’t yet know which titles will be joining PlayStation Plus this July, but it has now been revealed which games will be leaving.

Unfortunately for subscribers, PlayStation Plus is set to lose a whopping 11 games next month.

Only eight new titles joined the service in June so it proves that PlayStation Plus’ extra and premium tier catalogues are actually shrinking instead of growing.

The departing games have surfaced on the Japanese PlayStation Plus hub with the European and North American departing line-up expected to be confirmed later today.

Typically, though, departing titles are the same across all regions.

Departing games are confirmed around one month prior to their departure so if there’s anything you fancy playing here, it’s not too late to hit download.

Just keep your eye on the clock as by mid July, none of the following titles will be sticking around.

All Departing Games - July 2026

Gearbox Publishing

• Risk of Rain 2 - This 2020 roguelike third-person shooter comes from Hopoo Games and sees players fend off waves of monsters on an alien planet. It boasts a main story runtime of around 11 hours.
• Tropico 6 And Tropico 6 Next-Gen Edition - This ambitious city-builder from Limbic Entertainment combines construction and political management. As for whether you become a “feared dictator” or “peace-loving statesman”, the choice is yours. Expect a minimum runtime of 35 hours or so here.
• Clash: Artifacts of Chaos - Completable in just 12 hours, Clash: Artifact of Chaos is an interesting 2023 action RPG from ACE Team. Step into the shoes of fighter Pseudo who “begins a perilous quest” in a land full of strange and deadly creatures.
• Source of Madness - Developed by Carry Castle, Source of Madness is a side-scrolling roguelike set within a Lovecraftian world. Players will take on the role of an acolyte embarking on a “nightmarish odyssey” in this brief four hour main campaign.
• Cursed To Golf - If regular ol’ golf is too easy, try out this otherworldly take on the sport. Work your way through a difficult pixel-art course in this six to seven hour experience.
• Hundred Days - Hundred Days is, perhaps unexpectedly, a wine simulator. Players will farm grapes and transform them into delicious bottles of wine. Developed by Broken Arm Games, this 2021 title can be enjoyed for anything between three and 27 hours.
• Onee Chanbara Origin - Created by Tamsoft, Onee Chanbara Origin is a remake of acclaimed sword fighting action titles The Onee Chanbara and The Onee Chanbara 2. The main story should run for around five hours with bonus content extending the experience for a further 10 hours or so.
• Get Even - The Farm 51’s 2017 psychological horror game follows Black, a hired gun who awakens in an old asylum with no memories of his past. Guided by a captor known only as Red, Black has to try and remember who he is before a bomb detonates with devastating consequences. Finish this one in seven to 10 hours.
• Space Crew Legendary Edition - Developed by Runner Duck and launched in 2020, this sci-fi action experience will see you recruit and train a crew as you fend off alien threats. Well liked by players, Space Crew has a runtime of around 20 hours.
• Infinite Minigolf - Infinite Minigolf allows you to play your way through various holes created by players with an open-ended runtime.

Don’t forget that in the UK, US, and Japan, PlayStation Plus is trialling phased rollouts for the extra and premium tiers so you should no longer expect all games to drop on the same day.
