Sony Withholds 3 July PS Plus Essential Games as No Reliable Leaks Emerge

3 articles · Updated · Forbes · Jun 28

Summary

  • Sony has not revealed July 2026’s three PlayStation Plus Essential games, and no reliable leaks had surfaced as of June 28.
  • July 1 is the expected reveal date because Sony usually announces the next lineup on the last Wednesday before the first Tuesday release; the games are then expected to go live on July 7.
  • June’s three titles — Grounded: Fully Yoked Edition, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide — remain claimable for a little over a week.
  • PS Plus Essential costs $10.99 a month or $79.99 a year, while Sony’s higher Extra and Premium tiers reveal their added game catalogs later in the month.
