Australian PlayStation Plus Games to Launch Differently This Month

Unique Release Schedule for PlayStation Plus Games in Australia

This month, July 2025, has brought an exciting lineup of PlayStation Plus Extra and Deluxe games, featuring highly anticipated titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. However, what makes this release particularly unique is the way these games are being rolled out in Australia. Unlike other regions where all the games are released simultaneously, Australian players will experience a staggered release schedule throughout the month.

PlayStation Australia shared a statement explaining the change: “We’re exploring new ways to deliver PS Plus Game Catalogue titles so this month, in select markets including Australia, games will be available on varying dates.” This shift could signal an experiment by Sony to test whether spreading out game releases might increase engagement across different titles. Instead of players focusing on just one game, the staggered approach could encourage more varied gameplay experiences.

The games are divided into three batches, with each batch dropping every Tuesday until the end of July. Here’s the detailed schedule for the PlayStation Plus Extra games:

Cyberpunk 2077 (PS5/PS4) – Available Today
