Sony has announced the PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium lineup for July 2022, which spans a total of 17 titles. The lineup is headlined by the day one addition of Stray, but also includes Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and Marvel’s Avengers.
The full selection of All PS Plus Games, available from 19th July, is as follows:
PS Plus Extra: July 2022
- Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag (PS4)
- Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered (PS4)
- Assassin’s Creed: Freedom Cry (PS4)
- Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection (PS4)
- Assassin’s Creed Unity (PS4)
- Final Fantasy VII Remake (PS4)
- Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade (PS5)
- Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure (PS4)
- Jumanji The Video Game (PS4)
- Marvel's Avengers (PS5, PS4)
- Paw Patrol on a Roll! (PS4)
- ReadySet Heroes (PS4)
- Saints Row IV: Re-Elected (PS4)
- Saints Row Gat out of Hell (PS4)
- Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition (PS5)
- Stray (PS5, PS4)
PS Plus Premium: July 2022
- LocoRoco Midnight Carnival (PSP)
- No Heroes Allowed! (PSP)
Of course, the headline addition here is Stray, which is the first "day one" release for the new PS Plus service. It launches straight into PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium, with many other blockbuster titles accompanying it. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for PS5 owners and Final Fantasy VII Remake for PS4 users are noteworthy, as is Marvel's Avengers. The superhero simulator has undergone lots of patches and character additions since launch, with the solid and enjoyable campaign remaining. We highlighted that in our Marvel's Avengers PS4 review and latterly Marvel's Avengers PS5 review.

- Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection PS4 Review
We hope you enjoy the Assassin's Creed franchise, too, because a whole host of them are joining the service — and these are the ones prior to the series' reboot. The Ezio Collection contains remasters of Assassin's Creed II, Brotherhood, and Revelations, and then you've got other mainline entries like Black Flag and spin-offs such as Rogue to entertain yourself with. That's a lot of Eagle Dives coming your way.
PS Plus Extra will also entertain the kids with Paw Patrol, Ice Age, and Jumanji titles. ReadySetHeroes might be worth a look for them also.
Finally, this month's PS Plus Premium drop is all about the PSP as No Heroes Allowed! and LocoRoco Midnight Carnival come to the service — that last one was heavily rumoured. It would have been nice to get some PS1 and PS2 titles, but we'll have to wait for next month's lineup for another chance at those systems. It would appear the likes of Dino Crisis and others are on the way at least, following a mistake on the Italian language PS Blog.

Well... honestly not bad?
If that's all of the classics than that's a joke
It's technically 19 as well when you factor in the other two games in the Ezio Trilogy.
Not a bad list at all, although I'm sure some won't be pleased.
😉
Stray is the biggest draw for me but definitely interested in giving the story campaign a go in The Avengers, online not so much.
Pretty solid additions. I'm definitely down for some Stray, and Spirit of the North has been on my radar since its release
Just give me destruction Derby on the classics and I'll be happy
Great list of games. I’ll probably only have time for Stray, but for the price of £100 a year, it’s great value.
Glad the leak ended up being true. Looks like holding off on playing Final Fantasy VII Remake has paid off!
Much like the initial release of PS+ Extra/Premium, it showcases Premium to be worse value than Extra. Premium reminds me of the slow NSO Expansion Pack dripfeed.
No PS1 Games? Pretty weak. And Sony will probably scratch their head and Wonder why the Premium Tier doesnt see any growth haha. There are already multiple more Classics leaked, stop dropping the ball so early already
So, does this confirm that AC Syndicate will get a patch to solve the PS5 playback problems real soon?
*Edit
Syndicate is actually missing on this list. It was mentioned on the earlier leaked list.
My best guess is that they pulled it because the patch wasn't ready yet.
Got to say that's a good selection for the 1st month. Though premium is not worth it if only getting those 2 games. Have a while left on the subscription yet, but wouldn't mind dropping down to extra when the time comes.
STRAY! <3 Rally looking forward to checking it out; Also I never played Unity so I'm interested to see what it's like
I think it's a great list. Obviously we'd like to see more classics added quicker, but those are two good PSP games.
I had visions of a full PS1 library from day one. Why Sony, why.
Premium only gets 2 games (and not games I'd say - that belongs there for sure) and no trials?
Not really worth the $20 extra a year yet.
Honestly this is way above expectations for the Extra tier and a little disappointing for the “classics” in Premium.
If they can keep this up, PS+ is going to be the Game Pass competitor nobody expected it to be.
Tempted to try out Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure xD
I know the Ezio collection is meant to be a bit jank but I might download that. Really enjoyed AC2 & Brotherhood back on PS3. Never got a chance to try Revelations.
Definitely downloading Stray.
With regards to FFVII, I have the PS4 disc with the digital PS5 upgrade. Does this mean I can access the Intermission DLC with my disc?
Tiny bit disappointed with the PS1/PSP/PS2 classics. LocoRoco is cool, but hoping bigger PSP titles like Daxter appear on the service at some point.
They really seem to be dropping the ball on premium but extra is shaping up quite well will get to play Avengers and Spirit of the North as well as stray. Do you get the Yuffie DLC with final fantasy can that be played seperatley or will I have to sync up my ps4 save?
Wish Dino Crisis and MGS were on there, but whatever… I’m just here for Stray. Lol.
For those that haven’t kept up to date on their gaming, this is a strong batch with Intergrade and AC.
I find the lack of classics disappointing. Premium tier just doesn't seem worth it at all.
Yeah, Premium with only two adds is embarrassing. Sony really should have just had two tiers and put those games in with Extra. Why bother with Premium? I got auto upgraded to Premium but if it continues this way, I’ll definitely drop to Extra when the time for renewal comes.
Extra line up is pretty nice but owning all the AC games, it’s really only Stray I’ll be playing.
Lol ff7 again, damn I forgot intergrade is a next gen exclusive. Vanilla ff7 time it is then 😭
But does Intergrade include Intermission like the leak suggested?
@Americansamurai1 Bruh it's a joke, barely any of the classics are available. I see no reason whatsoever to upgrade my basic plus subscription. Where is Silent Hill, Dino Crisis, Fatal Frame, Metal Gear, Monster Hunter, Tomb Raider, ...
MS who has the bar in these kind of services just gave the Pepa Pig game so yeah this is how it is, it can't be 20 bangers per month. And about the classics, yeah it isn't enough but this service is for the long run they need to release classic every month from now to not forever so .. ok.
For me the trials were a huge part of why I went with premium. Actually getting to try out some games may eliminate buyers remorse on some and even get me to buy others.
But I assumed that more trials (at least 1) would be added each month.
@Milktastrophe It does indeed, yes!
@GymratAmarillo Remember that many subscribers will have children so there's value in a varied selection of games for all ages.
Month 1 of waiting for the classics I bought on the ps3 store to make their way over so I can play them on PS5. I won't have to wait that long r-right?...
The classics were a straight up lie i see
@get2sammyb yes! I'd been waiting for a 50% off sale for the DLC, guess I don't have to anymore.
@get2sammyb Actually I was talking about Avengers and Saints row 😂 but if you are taking about the pepa pig game, that isn't a good game either i played it with my nephew.
Wish they'd add more PS1 games. Had a fun play through the Resident Evil Director's Cut, and definitely appreciated the conveniences of Rewind and save anywhere.
I look forward to playing Stray. You can flush all of the AC games down the toilet
@Barryburton97 More will come. Maybe not as quickly as we'd hope, but they'll have to keep adding them to justify the higher tier.
@get2sammyb Can you ask Sony why only Italy gets 3 extra Classic Games? Soul Calibour PSP, Ridge Racer 2 and Dino Crisis
https://mobile.twitter.com/Nibellion/status/1547250054058201088
@Grumblevolcano I'm considering going up a tier when my current plus membership expires, just to take advantage of the wider catalogue of games on offer... not fussed by multiplayer or the psp and ps1 classics, and the 'essential' games have been lacking in quality for a while now :/
Pretty underwhelming to be honest but time to improve as it's only the first month
As an Extra sub, I'm happy with that list.
Stray being the main one I am interested but there are few AC games there I've not played, Avengers is one that is not one I would buy but will certainly give a go on this service.
Solid I would say.
Only the PS5 version for Avengers?
@GymratAmarillo at least I've been looking forward to Avengers PS5 ever since the PS4 version was on Now. Gonna boot it up for 30 seconds for an instant platinum.
Im just going say it, I'm kind of looking forward to trying out Avengers. The fact that we're getting the PS5 version and with She-Hulk coming soon, it has my attention.
@IonMagi Already contacted them.
@Clemerek Both.
@Milktastrophe my country didn't have now so yeah i cry in third world
I have to be honest...not bad! I own a ton of those games but it's still a good enough list...unless THE CLASSIC GAMES LIST SUCKS 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@WadeIsInsane No other ex-PAL blogs included those so it issnt a Region thing. PSP also didnt have PAL/NTSC
@get2sammyb ah I see, the list only said PS5 at first. I'm glad it's both versions as I have a PS4 and I'm interested in playing the campaign which I heard is actually decent.
@Clemerek Yeah, I've edited that now. My mistake!
Extra additions are good. Premium additions are weak. Those 2 games are good, but the extra games Italy is getting would have been nice.
@WadeIsInsane Eeeh most European Games back then had pretty much all languages included. Ridge Racer 2 for example had German, French, English, Italian on one UMD.
So the one AC game I don't currently own - Syndicate - doesn't get added. Also, no new PS one games? The Premium tier is looking less worth it
I have 11 games on Ps Plus Premium, i'm playing after finishing Valhalla and now got an extra 5 to add to that.
Backlog is never ending and I love it
Wow the ps plus extra tier is the real winner here! No need for me to upgrade to premium until they actually take the classic section seriously.
How far are they with the PS3 emulator do we think? Wonder if they are nearly there and waiting for that to be done before really going mad with Classics?
I say that because although this is amazing for Extra, Premiums offer is really, really bad.
Even though stray is the only game im interested in i will admit im surprised with the amount of games added. I thought they would only add around 4 or 5 a month similar to how PS now did things.
It's a mixed bag, though Stray Day 1 alone makes it worthwhile for me.
More exciting to me is that 17 titles are being added. Hopefully this is a statement of intent for the future of the service and it won't stagnate like PS Now's catalogue, that was it's major downfall. Only a handful of games were added each month, almost always old, and you'd be lucky if one was your jam or you hadn't played it.
@Marios-love-child "Yeaaaahhhh!", "That'll make a great replay"
Destruction Derby was one of my favourite PS1 launch games.
Yes please!
Stray, Intergrade for the Yuffie DLC and Spirit of The North, im more than ok with that! Might even indulge in some retro AC at some point too
@IonMagi woah, Dino Crisis is a great addition.
I’m still holding out hope for RESISTANCE: Fall Of Man & RESISTANCE: Retribution coming to Premium (with trophy support!!) one day. It’s probable they’ll land there sooner or later I would think, but likely w/out trophy support.
@Milktastrophe seems unclear if we get the Intermission element at the moment
Edit apparently we do...great!
@Col_McCafferty I came here to recommend just that. I played through the Avengers story mode when they made it free for a weekend (and it stayed active in rest mode so I could finish it at a later date, which was nice of them 😁)
Avengers is well worth a go, especially within a service like this. It actually looks pretty damn nice too. I saw an old clip saved on my PS5 the other day, of a certain Kamala chase scene that was similar to Cal running away from Darth Vader in Fallen Order, and it still looked pretty stunning.
I can see how premium subscribers might be miffed. But I never saw the point in Premium tier, personally.
And then it's Stray all day 🐱
Pretty solid additions, hopefully they keep this up!
@Netret0120 it's amazing isn't it! I'm the same, load of Extra games to play and that's not including my own library of unplayed stuff.
It's a first world problem, but it would be perfect if Sony give us folders in the yearly firmware upgrade to aid in organising this game overload.
Extra is killing it right now.
@themuckman
Its a great 1st world problem to have! PS Plus Extra seems to be the best bang for your buck tier as it stands.
I was automatically upgraded to premium thanks to being a PS Now subscriber but I'm sure i'll just continue with Extra from here on out
Christ, the premium tier… PREMIUM!!!!
@Netret0120 yeah I too lucked into Premium for the next few years but when that finally expires I'll be dropping to Extra, nothing about Premium interests me.
Anyone who has played FF7R but not Intergrade will love this. It’s such a nice side story that opens up the next game. I’ve been waiting to play it on hard mode
Sony got 25-30 games that they keep rotating through various subscriptions. "Selling" each game 3-4 times. No thanks!
Fantastic games:)
Stray for free!?
Also great to see black flag wich is my favorite asassins greed game of all time
@CWill97
I realy enjoyed ff7 remake intergrated.
Loved the battle system and its graphics
Question is it true square enix has decided to f.... up part 2, by not following the storyline?
This can't be true right?
That would be very sad
A decent list for sure but I wouldn't have minded Black Flag (or any of the other Creed games) for PS3 being added as well just to show a bit more support for PS3 games
@themightyant
"Your cars about finished.... Take it easy"
They really need to step up the classics tier, some ps3 would be nice? Will these be across all regions or Europe gonna miss out on half of em?
@PALversusNTSC Not going to our, I’ve yet to play the original so I’m going in fresh. I’m sorry!
Stray and final fantasy intergrade is cool . and the other games are cool also.word up son
Man that premium tier is so sad, with as huge a library available for PS1, PS2 the fact they are not touching it is super disappointing. It's definitely making me regret going for the premium right now.
Gonna try Stray eventualy, and AC Unity was in my playlist!! Marvel Avengers was a unexpected add, but a welcome one!!
Can't get any of them as the game catalog icon on my UI gives me a blank screen.
Great Extra games list!
I’ve never played an Assassins Creed game before. If I was to only play one, which of these would people recommend I play?
Dropped down to Extra as soon as I saw this. It’s obvious to me I’m not going to get value out of that. If they ever get those PS3 games running natively I’ll be back but until then I’ll stick to Extra.
As far as the selection goes for Extra I’m pretty chuffed! PS and Xbox are competing for my attention and PS has it this month for sure 👌
its only the second update , of course there are going to be more classic games added. i feel like people just enjoy complaining.
Yeah that is a good selection for the extra tier. I was thinking the other day that I quite fancy diving into Intergrade. Any news of how long these games stay on the service for?
Looking forward to Stray. Had it in my favourites list since day one. I'm an easy man to please. Give me cats and I'll be happy.
Stray and FFVII: Intergrade are the ones I’m most interested in. Will probably try the added psp classics as well.
Stray, Spirt of the North and the Ice Age game are the one's I'll be trying.
@Bondi_Surfer definitely Black Flag. It's basically a pirate sim. So besides Ubisoft's typical climb all the towers gameplay, you get pirate ship battles, including boarding enemy ships.
I shall be happily claiming the games listed below!
Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure (PS4)
Jumanji The Video Game (PS4)
Paw Patrol on a Roll! (PS4)
Stray (PS5)
As for the others, I already own the Assassin's Creed games, Avengers, Saints Row 4, and FF7 Remake so will be skipping them.
@CWill97 it is confusing marketing, but technically Intergrade is just the PS5 version of FFVII Remake. The Intermission DLC is included in PS Plus here, but it is not part of the usual Intergrade branding.
Great list!
I didn't have the ff7 remake DLC yet, Stray day one is awesome, and i'll try Avengers too. With Demon's souls, Returnal, Guardians of the Galaxy and Spider man i claimed last month. I've already got way over the year price for Extra worth! And it's month 2 only.
@Marios-love-child with netplay support
@Milktastrophe Do the Avengers trophies definitely stack? Only checking as I don't want to grind this plat again but will definitely take a free one on PS5, I feel like I deserve 2 for grinding out those missions before any patches etc!!
@Mostik all PS5 games are a separate trophy list than their PS4 counterparts due to changes in the trophy system on PS5.
@Milktastrophe Nice one buddy, I know they are separate lists but just want the auto pop which I know some don't such as Cyberpunk etc.
@MetalGear_Yoshi "...Give me cats and I'll be happy."
That is the correct answer. 👍
There are only 2 games to the premium service. I see so far that premium does not yet entice the majority, for what so far does premium offer in terms of price/upgrade
Probably cheaper to go and buy a PSP and a couple of UMDs from eBay or CEX....
Tbh, premium is not a real benefit over Plus at this moment, but maybe in the future.
So in the meantime, i have to suport it to make it better.
I am not realy interested in the psx collection or any old game, still it is a expensive subscribtion for most people, so it need more games to become succesfull.
What i am missing are games such as mgs, mgs: sons of liberty okami, legend of the dragoon.
I dont think you miss alot of ps3 games, most where also on ps4, and it was a sucky console.
@Mostik yes Avengers is an autopop too. For a while that was literally the only way to plat the PS5 version because they broke one of the upgrade trophies. The oldest version available on PS5 was busted but you could forgo every update on the PS4 version. Not sure if they ever even fixed it actually.
Extra is great, premium is sorely lacking.
Still no Rudge Racer 7 or Forklore sad times.
@Milktastrophe great news! I'll be auto popping that one too. It was way too much of a grind to legit do it again but I never gave Black Panther a look so I'm gonna check that out at the same time, nice one buddy 👍
Definitely glad I let my premium expire. That tier really isn't worth it. I'll just buy the ps1 games as they come. Better value for me that way.
Maybe this is a dumb question, but can I suscribe (Extra) with an account from one region, download the games and play with an account from another region? Not sure if Extra is the same as with normal purchases.
@Lup I've tried out games I didn't want stuck on my trophy list if i didn't like them using my secondary US account when the games have been downloaded on my primary UK one thats subscribed to plus, so yes you can. For some reason the game trials wouldn't let me do that though, but the rest do
@DaveScoffin
Thanks a lot! I do that sometimes, but didn't know if it was also possible with PS Plus/Extra.
Glad to know.
@Grumblevolcano I hate retro games. I got the premium because of the trials. I still haven't tried Forbidden West but I want to try it. I hope they can satisfy those that actually like retro games.
@DaveScoffin Because it would be an infinite trial that way. Imagine a game like street fighter with a trial. Just put a lot of accounts on your PlayStation and play on all of them.
