Highlights

  • PlayStation Plus subscribers should look forward to July 16 for new Extra and Premium games as well as Genshin Impact bonuses.
  • PS Plus Extra and Premium July 2024 game lineup is yet to be announced but is expected on July 16.
  • Some games may be removed from PS Plus Extra and Premium on July 16 as new titles are added.

PlayStation Plus subscribers should be sure to pay attention to Tuesday, July 16, as that's set to be a particularly busy day for the subscription service. There are certain days that PlayStation Plus subscribers can look forward to every month. The first Tuesday of each month is always exciting, as that's the day that the new monthly free games are added to the lineup. The Tuesday that happens in the middle of the month is also one to keep an eye on, as that's when the new Extra and Premium tier games tend to be added.

Sony has yet to announce its July 2024 plans for the PS Plus Extra and Premium tiers, but more information should come to light in the weeks ahead. It's possible the update will come on a different day of the month, but the most likely scenario is that the new Extra and Premium games are coming on Tuesday, July 16. This alone makes July 16 a day for PS Plus subscribers to pay attention to, but there's another reason why fans will want to make sure they circle that date on their calendars.

Since relaunching the subscription service in June 2022, Sony has added a host of games per month to PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium.

Besides the fact that Tuesday, July 16 is the most likely day that the PS Plus Extra and Premium lineup will be refreshed, it's also the day that PlayStation Plus subscribers will get access to a fresh batch of Genshin Impact freebies. Announced alongside the free PS Plus games for July 2024, PlayStation Plus subscribers can claim 160 Primogems, 4 Fragile Resin, 20 Hero's Wit, 30 Mystic Enhancement Ore, and 150,000 Mora for Genshin Impact on July 16. Since the Genshin Impact freebies were revealed as part of the July 2024 free games announcement, there are some PS Plus subscribers who may potentially forget to log in and claim their freebies, so be sure to set a reminder.

PlayStation Plus Update Coming on July 16

  • Free Genshin Impact Content
    • 160 Primogems
    • 4 Fragile Resin
    • 20 Hero's Wit
    • 30 Mystic Enhancement Ore
    • 150,000 Mora
  • PS Plus Extra and Premium Games for July 2024 (yet to be announced)

Between the Genshin Impact freebies and the likely PS Plus Extra and Premium update, July 16 will also most likely be the day that some games are removed from the service as well. While there are almost always more new games added to PS Plus Extra and Premium than there are games that leave, it's likely that a selection of games will be leaving PS Plus Extra and Premium on July 16. It's anyone's guess as to what these departures will entail, as Sony has been known to remove its own games from the lineup, meaning no current PS Plus Extra and Premium title is safe.

Time will tell exactly what all Sony has in store for PlayStation Plus subscribers when July 16 rolls around, but it's already shaping up to be an exciting day for fans. On that day, PS Plus subscribers of all tiers can log in to claim freebies for the mega-popular Genshin Impact, and those who are signed up for Extra and Premium will most likely be treated to some new games to check out. Specifics on exactly which games are on the way should be revealed sooner rather than later.
