Cyberpunk 2077 Joins PS Plus Extra – A Major Win for Gamers
In a surprise announcement, Sony has confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077 will join PS Plus Extra on July 9. This move marks a significant development for both the game and the subscription service, turning the tide for a title that once faced major backlash upon its initial release.
Despite a disastrous launch that nearly crippled developer CD Projekt’s reputation, Cyberpunk 2077 has remarkably transformed into one of the standout games of the decade. Thanks to a series of extensive updates and the much-anticipated Phantom Liberty expansion in 2023, the game now boasts ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ recent reviews on Steam. That’s quite the redemption arc!
Set in the vibrant and chaotic Night City, this open-world role-playing game allows players to take on the role of V, a mercenary outlaw in pursuit of a unique implant that promises immortality. The official description declares, “Customise your character and playstyle as you take on jobs, build a reputation, and unlock upgrades. The relationships you forge and the choices you make will shape the story and the world around you.” Night City is alive with stories waiting to be written—will you be the one to pen yours?
More Exciting Additions to PS Plus
The excitement doesn’t stop with Cyberpunk; another title, Abiotic Factor, is also making waves with ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ feedback on Steam. This survival crafting experience for 1-6 players drops on July 22, enhancing Sony’s already stellar month for PS Plus releases. Players will find themselves at the mercy of a paranormal containment failure while battling threats from military forces and other realms. Survival never looked so intense!
Meanwhile, PS Plus Extra subscribers can dive into an array of games starting July 15. Titles like Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, Bluey: The Videogame, Planet Zoo, and Tropico 6 will be available, alongside the nostalgic classics Twisted Metal 3 and Twisted Metal 4 for Premium tier users. It’s a treasure trove for gamers looking to expand their library.
Although Sony is riding high on these announcements, the competition isn’t lagging. Xbox Game Pass is also packed with exciting titles, including Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, which many consider worth the subscription fee alone. Other notable titles for Xbox include Little Nightmares 2 and Rise of the Tomb Raider, among a host of others. The gaming landscape is buzzing with options!
