Sony unveiled the list of free PlayStation Plus games for July 2018, which is headlined by the psychological thriller Heavy Rain and the customizable fighter Absolver.
Sony also announced a special PlayStation Now promotion for PlayStation Plus members, offering a discount for access to the service's collection of hundreds of PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 2 games.
Free PS Plus Games July 2018
For the month of July, PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to download Heavy Rain and Absolver for the PlayStation 4 for free.
Heavy Rain was developed by Quantic Dream, the same studio behind the recently released Detroit: Become Human. Players will investigate a serial murderer named the Origami Killer in a branching story that features four character, different paths, and multiple endings.
Absolver, meanwhile, is a fighting game that allows players to customize their moves for unique fighting styles. It offers both PvP and PvE modes and is a relatively new title that was only released in August last year.
PlayStation 3 gamers will be able to download platformer Rayman 3 HD and trap strategy game Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess, while for PlayStation Vita owners, the free titles are action game Space Overlords and story-driven adventure game Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma. Space Overlords is also a cross-buy title with the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.
Last but not least, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is still available for PlayStation Plus subscribers, but only until July 11. The critically acclaimed shooter was announced as a free download at E3 2018, ahead of the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
