Hogwarts Legacy Lets Players Live Their Wizard Fantasy

Hogwarts Legacy Main Story: 26.5 Hours

Harry Potter fans are well served with Hogwarts Legacy, which is certainly one of the most prolific additions to PlayStation Plus. This action RPG takes on the Harry Potter universe, as developed by Avalanche Software, and transports players to 1800s Hogwarts to create their own student. The player protagonist then meets an assortment of different personalities, from the school's faculty to fellow students, and gradually uncovers an ancient mystery.

Hogwarts Legacy earned a strong critical reception and became a monster hit commercially, with its strongest points being its "magic school" simulator elements and fantastical worldbuilding. It all pays loving homage to the source material, and players have plenty of customization options to experiment with. Between its wealth of spells, satisfying combat, and unique creatures to encounter, Harry Potter fans will easily lose themselves in the world of Hogwarts Legacy​​.

Diablo IV Lets Players Dungeon Crawl in an Open World

Diablo IV Main Story: 26 Hours

One of the pillars of the action RPG subgenre, Diablo IV is a high-profile addition to PS Plus. This sequel is set years after its predecessor's final expansion and revolves around the return of the demonic Lilith to the world of Sanctuary. Taking on the role of the protagonist known as the Wanderer, players must enter this punishing conflict with evil's encroaching influence.

Diablo IV takes the action RPG series' classic formula and expands upon it with an open-world setting. On top of a diverse set of classes to engage with the game's high-octane combat, players can grind through procedurally generated and replayable dungeons. The dungeon-crawling and looting gameplay loop remains fast and cathartic and feels like a seamless fit for Diablo IV's open-world pivot.

Destiny 2 Players Get Plenty of Content in The Final Shape

Destiny 2: The Final Shape Main Story: 10.5 Hours

Bungie's Destiny 2 has become an incredibly enduring online shooter. Now, PS Plus subscribers can play through a slew of new content from last year's The Final Shape DLC expansion. The game acts as the grand conclusion to the Light and Darkness Saga, with the player's Guardian protagonist tracking down the villainous Witness before exacting his plan to eradicate life from the universe.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape has earned high praise for being a narratively satisfying and suitably epic conclusion to the long-running story, in addition to the new gameplay content that will keep players engaged for hours. The most significant mechanical addition to this Destiny 2 expansion is the Prismatic subclass to let players make use of certain Light and Darkness abilities together. However, there's a wealth of new content spanning PVP and PVE. These include a new raid, new locations, and PVP maps, and all the latest gear players would expect from this looter-shooter's major expansions.

The King of Fighters XV Offers Hours of High-Octane Combat

The King of Fighters XV Main Story: 1 Hour

Street Fighter, Tekken, and Mortal Kombat are titans in the fighting game space, but genre fans and PS Plus subscribers can enjoy a modern entry in another classic series, SNK's King of Fighters XV. The story follows the next King of Fighters tournament in the wake of Verse's defeat in XIV, with the antagonist's powers resurrecting past competitors.

The King of Fighters XV's story mode features fun enough (albeit very short) opponents and stages leading up to the final boss. However, the primary substance of the game lies in its roster, mechanical depth and its distinctive squad-based gameplay. The game's emphasis on three-person teams and a deep roster of characters lets players experiment with a diverse set of fighting styles, including their more accessible Climax moves. KoF XV's online functionality supports all these mechanics brilliantly, as hardened fighting game fans have plenty of game modes to choose from.

Jusant is an Atmospheric Platformer

Jusant Main Story: 4.5 Hours

Fans of developer Don't Nod's Life is Strange should check out the team's underrated puzzle-platformer, Jusant. It's a fun change of pace from the studio's most prolific work, having players assume the role of an explorer who must climb a sprawling tower. Multiple unique biomes make up the tower, revealing themselves as the protagonist climbs further, and the mysteries of its past communities and the tower's current desolation unravel.

Jusant is an engaging puzzle-platformer for players who enjoy traversal mechanics and environmental storytelling. Each part of the tower cleverly uses the objects and obstacles incorporated in it to test players' climbing abilities. The use of triggers to climb and the careful placement of pitons to catch players when they run out of stamina give Jusant a tactile feel to the gameplay, and it's all complemented by its incredible immersive sound and world design.

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Is a Stylish Action-Platformer

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Main Story: 10 Hours

Nostalgic fans of the Sega Dreamcast classic Jet Set Radio will appreciate Bomb Rush Cyberfunk's style. Players take on the role of a young member of the Bomb Rush Crew gang trying to take control of New Amsterdam's boroughs. The protagonist gangster will have to contend with rival gangs and the local authorities on their graffiti-filled, platforming exploits on their skates, boards, and bikes. Team Reptile's Bomb Rush Cyberfunk wears its Jet Set Radio influences on its sleeve.

Players who are comfortable with that unapologetic approach from the start will have plenty of fun with Bomb Rush Cyberfunk's stylized action-platforming mechanics and upbeat, cel-shaded art direction. The traversal mechanics and the series of tricks players can perform are the meat of Bomb Rush Cyberfunk's core loop. And as straightforward as they are, they strike the right balance between fun and simplicity, so players can enjoy grinding rails throughout the game's ~10-hour story without making the gameplay loop drag.

Players Navigate a Winding Mansion in Blue Prince

Blue Prince Main Story: 15 Hours

One of the most impressive games of 2025 so far has been Dogubomb's Blue Prince. The surprising indie puzzler hit has players assume the role of Simon P. Holmes as he navigates the Mt. Holly Estate. This mysterious mansion is willed to Simon on the condition that he finds the hidden 46th room in the estate to claim his inheritance.

Blue Prince has received acclaim for its expert blend of puzzle and rogue-like mechanics, as players must reach their goal before running out of steps. Otherwise, the mansion's layout largely resets on the next attempt, encouraging the player to track their progress. The gameplay and hidden stories harmonize to keep players coming back for more, with Blue Prince hiding enticing bits of lore within the estate's rooms.

The Atmosphere of Battlefield 1 Makes for a Tense Shooter

Battlefield 1 Main Story: 6.5 Hours

While developer DICE's Battlefield series has seen better days in terms of popularity, the team's 2016 shooter is worth returning to on PlayStation Plus. Battlefield 1​​​​​​, the 10th entry in the first-person shooter series, switches gears by using World War I as its backdrop. The single-player story spotlights a series of soldiers in the heat of the conflict globally. The multiplayer front lets players take part in grand team battles and aerial dogfights.

Battlefield 1 earns its marks for the franchise's trademark brand of presentation and intense first-person gameplay. The mix of air- and land-based fights offers plenty of variety and replayability for multiplayer. This complements the online gameplay loop's focus on team-based coordination and epic sense of scale, but the story mode's alternating perspectives certainly bring a similar sense of tension, too.

Revisit the Classic Sci-Fi World of RoboCop in Rogue City

RoboCop: Rogue City Main Story: 11.5 Hours

Movie tie-in games certainly didn't have a great reputation for quite some time. While they're not as common as decades past, some surprisingly fun titles like RoboCop: Rogue City still come through today. The game is set after the events of Irvin Kershner's RoboCop 2 film and even features Peter Weller reprising his role as the protagonist. Players take control of the titular character as they venture through Old Detroit to root out criminals and perform investigations.

RoboCop: Rogue City certainly doesn't reinvent the wheel when it comes to the first-person shooter genre. Regardless, the game's solid gunplay and a faithful take on the film series' world are more than enough to justify its positive reception. Entertaining shooting mechanics that don't overstay their welcome make Rogue City feel like a polished version of PS3-era FPS games.

Experience a Parallel Journey in Lost Records: Bloom & Rage

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Main Story: 10.5 Hours

Fans of graphic adventure games should check out Don't Nod's new title, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage​​​​​​. The Life is Strange and Life is Strange 2 studio crafts a new IP revolving around four teenage girls in the summer of 1995 who grow close together but experience an event that would forever alter the trajectory of their lives. Meanwhile, the women are reunited in 2022 and compelled to face the secret they hoped would remain in the past.

Don't Nod's new narrative adventure is off to a promising start with Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, ​​​​​​thanks to the interesting cast and story structure. With both "Tapes" out to complete the tale, one of the game's strongest appeals has been how, as protagonist Swann, players can play through the 1995 and 2022 timelines in tandem. The player can make crucial decisions in both eras to shape the outcome of the story.
