You have a month to check out these dozen games before they leave PlayStation Plus this July. Time is running out to check out some of the PlayStation Plus library.

The short version

  • For those outside the know, every month Sony adds and removes titles included with its PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscriptions.
  • 12 games will be leaving the service on July 21, including a few standouts.
  • One notable game on its way out is Risk of Rain 2, a co-op roguelike that proved one of 2020’s breakout hits.
  • Players work together to navigate a psychedelic alien world full of deadly creatures.

Context

The game is built around risk and reward: Staying in a biome for an extended period gives more time to find loot, but the longer you stay, the tougher your foes become. Between its many unique classes and disparate loot, there’s an impressive amount of customization and build variety. It’s currently sitting at "Overwhelmingly Positive" on Steam from over 161,000 reviews and has an 85 on Metacritic. Another notable title leaving the catalog is Tropico 6.

Why it matters

It's the latest management and political sim from Limbic Entertainment that puts you in the shoes of “El Presidente,” the leader of a fictionalized Caribbean nation. The player manages their banana republic over four eras, taking over after their nation escapes British imperial control. The game received solid reviews and will be followed by Tropico 7, planned for 2026.
