Sony has confirmed the PlayStation Plus monthly games for July on the PlayStation.Blog. All three are free to claim for members from Tuesday 7 July through to Monday 3 August: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (the Cross-Gen Bundle, so it covers PS4 and PS5), For the King II, and CrossCode.

Modern Warfare III is the headliner. It's the 2023 entry, with a campaign that picks up straight after Modern Warfare II, chasing Makarov with Price and Task Force 141. Multiplayer ships with reworked versions of the classic 2009 map set, and there's an open-world take on Zombies you can run with mates. A mainline Call of Duty landing on the monthly tier is the kind of month people actually remember to claim.

For the King II is the sleeper here for families with older kids. It's a tabletop-style adventure RPG you can play solo or in co-op with up to four players, turn-based, so nobody's reflexes get tested. CrossCode rounds it out, a retro 2D action RPG with a 16-bit look that's been quietly adored since it launched.

The usual PS Plus rule applies in this house: claim all three on your phone even if you don't download them yet. They stay in your library for as long as you're subscribed, and turn-based co-op and a shooter with proper mission breaks are both very workable around family life.
