Heavy Rain and Absolver headline July's lineup for PlayStation Plus members. Enjoy!
Update: An earlier version of this post featured an incorrect PS3 title for the July lineup. We have updated the list below with the correct PS3 title for July.
July is almost here and summer is in full swing, so let’s take a look at the July lineup for PS Plus members.
But before we begin, did you watch the E3 showcase? If you happened to miss the news, PS Plus members can get Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 right now as part of your membership. This bonus title is in celebration of the upcoming release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. It’s available from now until July 11.
Now onto games for July!
First up, we have Heavy Rain. Experience the gripping psychological thriller that is filled with innumerable twists and turns. Spanning four days, hunt a murderer known only as the Origami Killer – named after the calling card they leave behind at crime scenes. Four characters, each following their own leads and with their own motives, must take part in a desperate attempt to prevent the killer from claiming a new victim. How this story ends is entirely up to you.
Next is the intense fighting game, Absolver. Go behind the mask of this customizable and fluid martial arts-focused action game. Players can build combinations of strikes, parries, and feints to make their own unique fighting style, all while exploring a dynamic world with dedicated PvP and PvE areas.
This month’s PlayStation Plus lineup also includes:
- Rayman 3 HD, PS3
Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess, PS3- Extreme Exorcism, PS3 (also available on PS4)
- Space Overlords, PS Vita
- Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma, PS Vita

Really not impressed with how this situation with Deception IV was handled. I understand that things are subject to change but an email prior to this would be ideal. Disappointed.
I am very disappointed that we are not getting Deception IV:The Nightmare Princess on PS3. I was really looking forward to it. This is horrible. What happened?
It’s disapponting that Deception IV was listed in error. I would have rather had that than Extreme Exorcists.
What happened to Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess? Shame on you, SONY!
Why had no word been given about the sudden change in the ps3 lineup? If the listing of Deception IV truly was a mistake then why did nobody correct it the day the blog post was made? Why wait until the day the lineup went live?
I was looking forewarn to Deveption IV more than any other game on the list and Sony decides to pull it and replace it with a $6 pile of crap at the last minute. They have had this game listed as free for a week. To say that I’m a bit unhappy would be an understatement, and shame on you Sony for just trying to sweep it under the rug. If it was a mistake, fine, but don’t wait a week to do it. At least have Deception as a free game next month, please, you owe everyone who looked foreword to it that much.
Was really looking forward to Deception IV, but got real life deception. Well played. Would say I’m surprised at the blog team blunder, but seeing more Cage Crap™ this month I can’t really check here with high expectations. It may not be D4 but at least Extreme Exorcism looks like a neat little game.
Extremely poor performance, James. How could you not correct the mistake earlier? You had to do it the day the games dropped. And still took hours. And you didn’t even say the word SORRY even once.
Deception IV was the only game I was looking for this month. It’s possible Deception IV makes the lineup next month, but your horrible handling today will have sucked all the excitement and delight out of it.
I think one needs to look no further than the list prices to know why Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess (MSRP $49.99) was replaced with Extreme Exorcism (MSRP $5.99).
Complete bull!! What happened to Deception?? Was highly looking forward to that (along with Zero) and now…. Nope!? I’m more or less happy with my PS+ sub. However, when I’m actually interested in a game… anddddd you just go -cross it out-… at the last minute?! Really? (~_~;) (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Mission failed, we’ll get it next time. ;-; (hopefully)
