Sony has announced 15 games coming to the Extra tier of its PlayStation Plus subscription service and three games coming to the Premium tier as part of the July 2023 update. While PlayStation Plus may still be best known for the monthly free games it gives out to subscribers, the Extra and Premium tiers have helped establish it as viable alternative to Xbox Game Pass.
It's true that PS Plus Extra and Premium don't often feature day one games like Xbox Game Pass, but they do regularly add significant new titles to their lineups. Typically, these big PS Plus Extra and Premium updates come in the middle of the month, and that will hold true for the July 2023 games. The next big update for the PS Plus Premium and Extra tiers will come on Tuesday, July 18, so fans should be sure to mark their calendars.
On July 18, PS Plus Extra subscribers can play Circus Electrique, Dynasty Warriors 9, Dysmantle, Fast & Furious: Spy Racers - Rise of Shifter, It Takes Two, Melty Blood: Type Lumina, Monster Jam: Steel Titans, My Little Pony: A Maretime Bay Adventure, Samurai Warriors 5, Sniper Elite 5, Snowrunner, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated, The Ascent, Undertale, and World War Z. Those who are signed up for the PS Plus Premium tier can look forward to all those games as well as Gravity Crash Portable, Twisted Metal, and Twisted Metal 2.

The new PS Plus Extra games are headlined by It Takes Two, a co-op adventure game that won Game of the Year at the 2021 Game Awards event. Subscribers will also want to check out Undertale if they haven't already, as the award-winning RPG is one of the most critically-acclaimed new releases of the past decade.
On the PS Plus Premium side of things, Gravity Crash Portable represents another PSP game joining the mix, though there are still many heavy hitters that fans are waiting for. In the meantime, the classic PS1 vehicular combat games Twisted Metal and Twisted Metal 2 are joining the lineup just in time for the Twisted Metal TV series on Peacock. Starring Anthony Mackie as John Doe, the Twisted Metal series is scheduled to premiere on July 27.
