Subscribers to PlayStation Plus are entitled to a couple of free games each and every month. These free games are selected by PlayStation and typically come in pairs. This month, however, three free games are up for grabs.
Last month, Star Wars: Battlefront 2 and Call of Duty: WWII were available for free — and remained as such until yesterday. If you're interested in getting either of those for free, unfortunately, the offer is no longer active and the pair are now back at their usual price. However, new free games have taken their place.
From now until August 3rd (via PlayStation), Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration, NBA 2K20, and Erica are available for free on PlayStation 4 — providing that you're subscribed to the PlayStation Plus premium service.
The former is the second entry in the Tomb Raider action-adventure series developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix. Though originally released exclusively for the Xbox One in 2015, Rise of the Tomb Raider came to the PlayStation 4 and PC in 2016.
NBA 2K20 is exactly what it says on the tin. It's a basketball game, the latest entry in the NBA 2K series from 2K Games. Erica, on the other hand, is a cinematic live-action thriller wherein you make choices that determine how the story plays out. It's an interactive narrative, akin to Late Shift from 2016, and released exclusively for the PlayStation 4 back in August.
We will be sure to let you know everything there is to know about August's free PlayStation Plus games once they're officially announced later this month. Until then, be sure to make use of the current offers. Check out the official trailers for Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration, NBA 2K20, and Erica below:
In Rise of the Tomb Raider, Lara uncovers an ancient mystery that places her in the crosshairs of a ruthless organization known as Trinity. As she races to find a powerful and sought-after artifact before Trinity, the trail leads to a myth about the Lost City of Kitezh. Lara knows she must reach the Lost City and its hidden secrets before Trinity as she sets out for Siberia on a thrilling expedition.
NBA 2K has evolved into much more than a basketball simulation.

This feature-length cinematic experience merges high-fidelity Hollywood production values with engaging, tactile gameplay. Become Erica, a brave young lady plagued with nightmares of your father’s murder. With the traumatic events that have haunted you as a child dragged back into the light of the present-day vis grisly new clues, it’s up to you to unearth the shocking truth behind this devastating tragedy. Every choice you make influences how the game develops, with multiple endings awaiting you at the finale of the emotional branching narrative.
