It’s officially the second half of 2026, which is going to be all about Grand Theft Auto 6. Until then, Sony has a new selection of games coming to PS Plus in July that includes Avatar: Frontier of Pandora, Dying Light and a couple of classic PlayStation 2 games.
PS Plus, which is Sony’s version of Xbox Game Pass, offers a large, constantly expanding library of games. Subscribers can choose from the Essential, Extra and Premium tiers, each with unique perks and benefits. Starting at $11 a month, the plans give subscribers access to games and rewards, and each month, all subscribers can play a handful of new games at no additional charge.
If you’re a PlayStation Plus Extra or Premium subscriber, you can grab these games starting July 21.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora came out in 2023, a year after Avatar: The Way of Water released in theaters. Developed by Massive Entertainment – a division of Ubisoft – the open-world action-adventure puts players in the role of a Na’vi raised by the Resources Development Administration, or RDA, before returning to defend Pandora. Set in the previously unseen Western Frontier, the game emphasizes exploration, aerial traversal on an ikran and combat using both traditional Na’vi weapons and human firearms. While its gameplay shares many similarities with the Far Cry series, its lush environments and faithful recreation of Pandora earned praise from critics.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will be available for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers starting July 21.
Rise of the Ronin
Team Ninja went a different direction than its usual Ninja Gaiden style with 2024’s Rise of the Ronin. Set during Japan’s turbulent Bakumatsu period in the late 19th century, the open-world action RPG lets players shape the story by siding with competing political factions. Combat combines fast-paced swordplay with firearms and other period weapons with the challenging gameplay the studio is known for. Its blend of historical events, exploration and player-driven choices helped distinguish it from Team Ninja’s previous action games.
Rise of the Ronin is now available for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers.
