Best Games on PS Plus: Twisted Metal, Undertale, It Takes Two and Many More for July
July is another big month for PlayStation Plus subscribers. A little bit of everything is coming this month including two retro games that are the inspiration for a new TV series.
Twisted Metal is the vehicular combat franchise that originated on the original PlayStation and is now TV series coming to Peacock on Thursday. Just in time for the show’s debut, Twisted Metal and Twisted Metal 2 are now available on PS Plus on the Premium tier. Award-winning co-op game It Takes Two and indie RPG darling Undertale are also available on the service this month.

Here are some notable PlayStation Plus inclusions so far:
There are some notable games on that list, but it also lacks the blockbuster Day 1 vibe of Xbox Game Pass, which has big debuts like Halo Infinite and the upcoming Starfield. Extra costs $15 a month, $40 for three months or $100 for a year. (In the UK it’s £11, £32 or £84, respectively, and in Australia it’s AU$19, AU$55 or AU$135.)

The more expensive Premium tier ($18 or £13.49 a month) also includes download and streaming access to about 500 older games, mostly from pre-PS4 consoles, most of which will run at 60 frames per second. It also includes access to game demos. You can try games like Horizon: Forbidden West, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands and Hot Wheels Unleashed. (Note: In Australia the Premium tier is called Deluxe and costs AU$22 a month.)
One of the better aspects of the new PS Plus is there are plenty of cult and indie favorites in the Extra/Premium tier.
Here are some older or lesser-known picks so far:
- Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories
- XCOM 2
- Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
- Pathfinder: Kingmaker
- Pillars of Eternity II
- South Park: The Stick of Truth
- Tetris Effect
- Outer Wilds
I’ll update this list as more games are added, and as my colleagues remind me of top-tier classics I’ve missed.
