School is out for some of us, and for others it may mean a holiday from work. For those of you with some free time this month, it’s time to catch up on our trophy hunting. To help with this, Sony has unveiled their PlayStation Plus free games July 2024 line-up which will be available next week on Tuesday, July 2.
First, there’s Borderlands 3, the first-person action shooter with RPG elements, developed by Gearbox Software. Shoot and loot your way across the Borderlands as you take on a crazed ult known as The Children of the Vault. As with the previous entries, Borderlands 3 allows for single-player, as well as online and split-screen co-op.
Next, there’s NHL 24, last year’s ice hockey simulation game by EA Vancouver. New features include full crossplay for Hockey Ultimate Team and World Of Chel, as well as new control skill moves.
Lastly, there’s Among Us developed by Innersloth. Described as an online party-game in space, players control cartoon astronauts who are either Crewmates, or one of the Imposters. Successfully vote out the Imposters before you find yourself betrayed.
Among the PlayStation Plus free games July 2024 line-up, all three games have platinum trophies to unlock. Also, all three games are available for both the PS4 and PS5.
Obtaining the platinum for Among Us is the quickest and easiest of the three. If you have four players to boost with, the platinum can be unlocked in only 4-5 hours. Since this game is cross-plat, boosting can be done if you have the game on multiple devices. Otherwise, expect a bit more luck and around 20 hours for the platinum without boosting.
Getting the platinum for Borderlands 3 is slightly below-average in terms of difficulty. There are only two online trophies, and both can be unlocked in a few minutes. This one is more time-consuming than challenging, and will take around 50-60 hours of gameplay.
The platinum for NHL 24 is not particularly easy, as it includes some challenging, and even frustrating, trophies to unlock. Also, reaching level 50 in the World Of Chel can be quite a long grind. Those who have played other games in the NHL series may have better luck, but overall expect around 60-70 hours of gameplay for this one.
Lastly, in addition to the PlayStation Plus free games July 2024 line-up, Sony is also giving away a Genshin Impact Pack, which includes in-game rewards such as Primogems, Fragile Resin, and more. Genshin Impact is a free-to-play action-RPG by Chinese developer miHo Yo.
