PlayStation Plus Essential - July 2023

Sony has announced the newest titles coming to PlayStation Plus Essential. From July 4th till July 31st, subscribers can claim Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Alan Wake Remastered and Endling – Extinction is Forever (as rumored). Of course, these titles are also free for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is the Cross-Gen Bundle, which means you can play it on PS4 and PS5. It offers a new campaign set in the early 1980s during the Cold War with a varied campaign. Zombies is also included for co-op fun, though you may have trouble finding anyone for multiplayer, given the game’s age.

Alan Wake Remastered and Endling – Extinction is Forever are also playable on PS4 and PS5. The former sees writer Alan Wake venturing to Bright Falls and embroiled in a dark mystery based on his own story. It boasts improved visuals with 4K support while offering The Signal and The Writer DLCs. If you’re planning to play Alan Wake 2 when it launches on October 17th, then this is a good place to start (even if it’s not essential).

Endling – Extinction is Forever focuses on a fox who defends her cubs even as pollution ravages the world. While exploring during the day for food, you’ll sneak around during the night. Check out our review for more details.
