Sony is about to release the PlayStation Plus games for July 2023. Headlined by Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, the next batch of PS Plus Essentials have a July 4 release date and a 10am BST UK launch time. The July 2023 PS4 and PS5 games will replace the current line-up of NBA 2K23, Trek to Yomi and Jurassic World Evolution 2.

As for the July 2023 PS Plus games, Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War is one of the highest-profile free games to join the service in 2023.

The popular Call of Duty release features an entertaining campaign mode, as well as a wide variety of multiplayer maps, modes and experience.

There’s also the fan favourite Zombies mode, which sees players team up to battle hordes of the undead.

Sony explains more: “Black Ops Cold War drops fans into the depths of the Cold War’s volatile geopolitical battle of the early 1980s.

“Come face-to-face with historical figures and hard truths as you battle around the globe in iconic locales like East Berlin, Vietnam, Turkey, Soviet KGB headquarters and more.”

Horror shooter Alan Wake Remastered also joins PS Plus in July 2023, alongside environmental adventure game Endling – Extinction is Forever.

With the sequel launching later this year, now is the perfect time to experience the remastered version of Alan Wake.

Developed by Control studio Remedy Entertainment, Alan Wake Remastered features improved visuals, as well as new gameplay features.

“Troubled author Alan Wake embarks on a desperate search for his missing wife, Alice,” reads the official description.

“Following her mysterious disappearance from the Pacific Northwest town of Bright Falls, he discovers pages of a horror story he has supposedly written, but he has no memory of.

“Wake is soon forced to question his sanity, as page by page, the story comes true before his eyes: a hostile presence of supernatural darkness is taking over everyone it finds, turning them against him.”

Finally, Endling – Extinction is Forever is a stylish side-scrolling platform game with beautiful 3D visuals. Players take control of an endangered fox who must guide her cubs to safety, while protecting them from human and animal predators.
