Earlier this month, we delivered a big update to your PlayStation Plus Instant Game Collection with the addition of great games like Gotham City Impostors, Pac-Man Championship Edition DX, and Renegade Ops. These three games continue to be free for Plus members, in addition to nine more free AAA games, like LittleBigPlanet 2, inFAMOUS 2, and Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One. That’s not all for this month, though! To round out July (and even getting a bit into August), we’ve got even more goodness for Plus members!

That’s it for now, but keep your feedback coming in by posting your thoughts on this update in the comments section. We got some great feedback from the questions posed in the update earlier this month, so thank you for making your voice heard. What games will you be picking up this month? Thanks, and see you in the comments!
Any more free games?Thanks for the update.
yay malicious 20% discount and so is counter strike heh (now just tell me tony hawk and double dragon neon will get discounts too and Ill be happy)
I used to love International track and field back on ps1 (i remember having to run a battery across the button on my controller to push the button fast enough to win some of those events.. good times.. but umm I seriously hope those ps1 classics arent taking the places of 2 of our 3 free games next month because that would blow…
luvs it
I understand it takes time to get things in order, but, where are the Vita games? Why have there not been any newly released? The fan base for the Resident Evil games is huge, ok, I get that; BUT WHY RELEASE THIS STUFF? Come on PSN, sorry, SEN, your making me wish I never purchased a Vita. Time to dust off the 360…….
Aw, wish we could have got Deus Ex in the U.S. as well, but, I love the discounts, so, I can’t complain. Definitely getting at least 2 of those PSN Play games.
Sorry, but I don’t see much of a “big deal” on winning only 10 bucks back when buying all four games.
Also, it would be great if you put the actual discounted price instead of only the discount, but… that’s ok, as you guys will do this on upcoming posts. ;)
More free/discounted Games: Great!
Playable on PSP and NOT Vita: No Bueno.
Why no love yet for those of us who are Plus members and Early adopters? And reasons for us to hope for some news on this soon?
My last post was in reference to the Drop week of 16 July.
i want motorstorm please europe alredy has it and it would be nice a driving game for us too!!!!
Finally Malicious! I remember seeing gameplay of the Japanese version and was completely blown away!
CSGO for cheap too. Not sure if I’ll get it on PS3 or PC.
mazel tov!
If I don’t see a demo for Dyad I wouldn’t be interested.
What ever happened to themes and avatars are we still getting them free through plus ?
There should be a demo for Dyad with it’s release.
Also, themes and avatars will still be coming, but this post is to highlight the top level Plus content incoming. Watch the PlayStation Store Update blog posts for more detailed Plus items.
