Overview & Key Takeaways

July 2026's PS Plus Essentials games have a release date and full lineup.

On Wednesday, Sony Interactive announced the free PlayStation Plus Essential games for July. Subscribers can download Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, For the King 2, and CrossCode beginning Tuesday, July 7.

Here's the July 2026 PlayStation Plus free games lineup:

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the 2023 entry in the long-running FPS franchise. The Modern Warfare subseries was rebooted in 2019 with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and continued with a sequel in 2022. Modern Warfare 3 was originally designed as an expansion pack for its predecessor, but was eventually turned into a full-fledged release for the annual Call of Duty machine, which might be why its campaign was so derided. It follows Task Force 141 trying to stop World War III. Multiplayer is likely where you'll spend the bulk of your time, and Modern Warfare 3 also includes a Call of Duty: Warzone-like Zombies mode.

For the King 2

For the King 2 is an RPG adventure that blends together elements of roguelikes and tabletop games. You can play solo or via four-player co-op as you fight against an oppressive queen and her regime, with the 30-hour campaign split between seven different adventures. New to For the King 2 is a battle grid as positioning is key to succeeding in the game's turn-based battles.

CrossCode

CrossCode is a retro-inspired action RPG with graphics straight from the SNES days. It touts "Zelda-esque dungeons" and lightning-quick combat throughout a sci-fi adventure that could last anywhere between 30 and 80 hours. Fight over 120 different enemy types across seven massive dungeons while conquering over 100 quests. CrossCode is nothing if not packed with things to do, and players have loved it for that; it has over 10,000 "very positive" reviews on Steam.

You can still grab June free PlayStation Plus Essential games — Grounded Fully Yoked Edition, Nickelodeon All Star Brawl 2, and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide — through July 7.

PlayStation Plus Essential is the lowest tier of Sony’s subscription game service. It offers online multiplayer access, a monthly assortment of free PS4 and PS5 games, cloud storage, and discounts on PlayStation Store purchases. PlayStation Plus Essential costs $79.99 annually, $27.99 for a three-month subscription, or $10.99 monthly, following a price hike across all tiers of PS Plus in May.

The New Gundam Game Has A Collector’s Edition Just For Gunpla Sickos Like Me

Gundam Rogue Orbit(https://www.gamespot.com/games/gundam-rogue-orbit/) is a break from tradition for Bandai Namco, as new entries in the franchise typically debut as an anime series first, then as a line of collectible model kits. But this Gundam is arriving first as a video game--one that was shown in more detail today during the September PlayStation State of Play broadcast(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstation-state-of-play-september-2026-all-the-biggest-announcements-games-and-trailers/). If you're a Gundam fan, fret not, because at least one part of the traditional Gundam experience is being kept intact if you buy the $160 Rogue Orbit collector's edition. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Gundam-CE.jpg?w=636) Gundam Rogue Orbit Collector's Edition Like other special editions from Bandai Namco, Gundam Rogue Orbit combines a physical copy of the game with a few physical in-game goodies. It's the inclusion of a High-Grade model kit based on the new Gundam Helix mobile suit that could make this collector's edition sought after, as it will be exclusive to the game. Gundam model kits aren't usually hard to come by as Bandai Namco regularly keeps store shelves restocked with them, but the HG Helix model looks like a rare exception to that rule. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiPllyLIvSo If you are planning to grab one, it's worth noting that HG Gundam model kits are 1/144-scale figures and are designed to appeal to casual builders with their moderate detail, minimal foil stickers, and durable design. You won't need too many tools to build one either, and the Helix design features a lot of panels and other mechanical details, so that could be a nice kit to build. The new trailer for the game also teased other shells that you can apply to the Helix to shake up its look, including an RX-78-2 skin and a red Zaku-inspired look that would make Char Aznable proud. Aside from the model, you'll also get a poster, reversible cover art, a pack of five promo cards, a steel case for the game disc, and DLC that includes 14 different color patterns for the Helix in the game. You won't have to wait too much longer to play it, as Gundam Rogue Orbit launches on March 5, 2027, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
