The PS Plus games for July 2022 have been officially announced, and as always, we want to know what you think of the selection. Just to be clear, we're talking about the PS Plus Essential line up here — we need to make that distinction now that PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium are a thing!
A quick recap: July 2022's PS Plus titles include Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time on PS5 and PS4, The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan on PS4, and Arcadegeddon, also on PS5 and PS4. To be honest, the overall reaction to this trio has been quite positive — at least here on Push Square — so we're interested in seeing the shape that this poll takes.
And remember, if you need a resource for everything PS Plus, you can check out our massive All PS Plus Games guide, which should keep you fully up to date.

"I'm happy with my PS Plus games" ?
Nope, never heard that phrase before.
Personally, well not really as Crash is the only one I’m interested in and I already own that. But it’s undoubtedly great for people who don’t!
Sightly off-topic, but when are they announcing the first batch of monthly PS Plus Extra games?
Feels like that lineup will tell us much about how this service will compare to Gamepass.
@Perturbator Aren’t they mid-monthly?
@nessisonett they promised updates every 2 weeks but hey haven't done anything or announced so far lol
I have two problems with these games.
1. no knack 2
2. man of medan's plot twist is dumb
@sonicmeerkat little hopes is worse XD
Crash for me. Played all the dark pictures and multiplayer titles rarely intrest me
Happy with Crash, especially as it's the PS4 and 5 version, means the wee man can get it as well, he's has been wanting it for a while although we are still working out way through the trilogy.
That makes it a fine month for me.
Mostly stoked for Crash like the majority. Finally got around to the trilogy on Switch last year, so this is great timing for me personally!
Er, kind of?
Medan is redundant for people with Extra and I don't care about Arcadegeddon. Crash 4 would be something I want to play since I enjoyed the trilogy, so I'll gladly add it to my library - thing is, I'm not in the mood for a completionist's nightmare right now.
One of the best months in a while for me!
Yeah pretty much… I mean I already own Man of Medan but I’m tempted to start the Crash games (I’ve never played a one ofs them). I heard good things about Arcadegeddon too… but is probably not my personal cup-of-tea.
I can imagine it would be great if I had Crash-based nostalgia, but as it is I'm just waiting to see what'll be added to Extra
Somehow managed to not buy Crash 4 before it went to PS+ so a win for me. I will actually download it! A rare occurrence as I've redeemed nearly 80 games from PS+ over 5 yrs (I don't grab everything) and actually tried maybe 20 and liked maybe 5. Also many games I like on PS+ I already owned so those don't count.
@AFCC @Perturbator @nessisonett Well they did announce Stray, which is coming in 2 weeks. I believe updates to PS Plus every 2 weeks means Essential early in the month and Extra in the middle of the month.
Also they added Deliver Us The Moon PS5 version day 1 a week ago (that's an older game but the PS5 version only came out now)
I honestly don't game time for the games they hand out with Plus. They toss one in I'm interested in maybe 5% of the time. That's a spitball estimate since I've been subbing around the end of the PS3 gen.
It's not a bad month, it's just I've beaten both Man of Medan and Crash 4 already. Arcadegeddon looks pretty bleh.
Crash 4 is pretty infuriating, honestly. It's one of those fling the controller at the wall kind of games.
There's supposed to be an additional mid month games release on top of the 3 free monthly games? Unless Sony announce it at a different time.
Feeling... Apathetic.
This isn't a comment on whether the games are good or not or of it's a good month or not.
I get plus for online, and sometimes get the games, and now extra for the big catalogue. Not sure any of these essential games interest me though. So yeah... Maybe next month there will be something to make me want to grab one of the essential games. But I'll have stray by then 🐱
PushSquare should run the same poll AFTER the games are available to download so that we can give y’all honest answers. In theory, yes, I like the selections, but I’ve only played Man of Medan and it was pretty good.
Question: Are there going to be a couple more games added to the PS+ premium tier, too (like they used to do for the PS Now service)? Or does the game lineup for the premium service remain unchanged?
Looking forward to trying Crash.
As for the others? Meh.
Indifferent. Usually if the games are good, then I'm excited. If the games are not up to my liking, I just pass it on by. Like if someone passing by offered me $100, I'd be excited, but if they offered me a dollar, I'd keep walking.
Im mostly happy. Im just sick of Sony trying to push mp games that no one wants obviously because their dead on arrival on people month after month and using one of our Plus games to do it. Their are multiple times over the last year or so that I only claim one or two or the monthly games. Same will be this month with that Arcadegeddon.
no , ps plus is terrible .
None of them are my flavor but I recognize that they’re decent titles, regardless of my personal opinion.
Like macho man randy savage use to say oh yeahhhh.im happy with all the games.i will download all of them.word up son
Happy to have Crash in my library. Regardless if I ever finish it, at least it’s something that I’ll download for myself, the wife, or kids at some point.
@Voltan
I am currently playing deliver us the moon. I am really surprised by this game. Really recommended in my opinion.
Already own Man of Medan since i am a huge Supermassive games fan.
Good for me, I think crash 4 will be the first plus game I play in over a year. (I'd obviously played some previously that I'd bought before they came on plus). So I'm happy with the choice.
Can't even sign into playstation network because they've suspended my account for sharing a screenshot from South park stick of truth 👎🏻
For me a good ps plus month is one single player game I am interested in and have not played and crash for is available so I’m more than happy for this month
Ps plus has nothing for serious gamers. Anything big they release is quite old by the time they do and if you’re into that type of game you’ve played it years ago. The best they can offer is games you passed on cos they weren’t worth the money but MIGHT be ok. They aren’t though
@DETfaninATL I don't think you're allowed to respond so rationally to the monthly games.
@nessisonett @Voltan Alright, thanks for the info guys. Will be exciting to see what they have cooking around mid-July
I'm thrilled! I don't own Crash 4 yet and will happily claim a digital copy of Man of Medan, despite already owning it physically.
However, I prob won't be playing either of them until I finally beat Crash N Sane Trilogy and Until Dawn...
I’m pretty happy. I’ve never played a Crash game besides from in Uncharted 4. So I’m excited to play the newest one. Question: Does anyone know if Arcadegeddon has any single player modes? It looks interesting concept wise. I’m just not a multiplayer type of guy
I’m ok with it, definitely not dissatisfied or disappointed. Honestly I have such a backlog from the new psPlus premium refresh that I can put my blinders on the monthly games quality for the rest of the summer at least.
Guardians of the galaxy, death stranding, shadow of the colossus remastered, Nioh, returnal, assassins creed Valhalla, nba 2k22, both South Park RPGs, and several others were all on my wish list but just dropped in the service.
I’m too backlogged to care about the monthly games, lol
Personally no as I already own 2 of them and not a fan of multiplayer
Can anyone answer this question?
I downloaded Man of Medan already from PS Extra. Now that it’s going to be available to PS Essential, what happens if I downgrade to that tier when my current subscription ends? Do I lose access to the game? Can I delete it and add it to my library next week, or am I out of luck because I’m on a higher tier?
Actually, I don’t care so much about losing this game but going forward this will bother me until I know.
Yes.
I've wanted to play Crash 4 for quite a while now, so this is great. Even though I already have Man of Medan from ps premium, now I won't have to worry about beating it before it leaves the service. As for Arcadegeddon, I'll give it a try.
Im in the same boat as @nessisonett, the only one I care about would be crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time but I already own it, so this month's game get an F from me!
2 of 3 for me. Not into MP, so no interest in Arcadegeddon. For me, not looking forward to the constant inclusion of MP/GOS being included every month. Seems a waste to me, but just my opinion. I am very interested to see how many of these games actually find an audience.
The PS+ games can be very hit an miss. I’m more lookin forward to the Tennis game that hits Game Pass in a few days. Playstation should start a vote on 1st of each month for next months games. They could give us a decent list an the top 3 voted for by the last Monday of the month is wat we get.
@AFCC Stray and I think we have something else, not sure
Great month. Crash 4 was on my wishlist. And the supermassive games are always fun.
It rhymes with rap!
Awesome. Been wanting this Crash for awhile now. My patience is paying off !
It seems those nostalgic for the PS1 Era (Crash Bandicoot) are happier than the rest. I have zero interest in anything PS1 related, remake or not.
So I think it's a poor month as usual, but its what I've come to expect for over a year now. 🤷♂️
Subbed to premium day one…immediately got bombarded with games i already have and syphon filter….like look what we did….premium offers absolutely nothing for the serious gamer….because you probably have everything worth picking up….Sony literally just stripped the branding from PSnow and slapped it on top of Plus…without bothering to shuffle the playlist or even just switch out some of the least played games…and this is what’s supposed to compete with GP…what a joke
@JosephTheSheik Tbf I can't wait for Stray! Looks like a chill experience and good Plat!
@Slime_Rothstein uhm, so why didn't you read the game lists beforehand?
