Abiotic Factor Drops July 22 – Sci-fi Co-op Madness Awaits
Launching directly into the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on July 22, Abiotic Factor is the next big thing for sci-fi survival fans. Developed by Deep Field Games, this co-op crafting adventure blends ’90s-inspired sci-fi vibes with smart gameplay mechanics.
Whether you’re building scientific gear, dodging anomalies, or fighting off extradimensional horrors, Abiotic Factor lets up to six players customize their characters and dive into a massive underground lab full of secrets.
What I love most is how it doesn’t take itself too seriously—there’s humor, tight combat, and even character traits like pocket protectors. It’s a fresh spin on the survival genre, and with “overwhelmingly positive” reviews on Steam Early Access, its PS5 debut is something to watch.

Coming July 15: Banishers, Planet Zoo, Risk of Rain 2 & More
If you’re into ghost stories, animal conservation, or explosive roguelikes, July 15 is about to be your favorite date on the calendar. Sony is dropping a wave of diverse titles into the Game Catalog that appeal to just about every gamer.
Leading the charge is Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, a narrative-driven action RPG that throws you into the haunted 17th-century wilds of North America. Playing as lovers and ghost-hunters Antea and Red, your choices will shape not only their fate—but the very soul of New Eden.
“How much will you compromise your ghost-hunting vow for the sake of your lover who’s become a spirit herself?”
It’s emotional. It’s haunting. And it’s exactly the kind of unique storytelling PlayStation gamers love.
Planet Zoo, Tropico 6, and More Arrive July 15 – Build, Rule, Survive!
Still not satisfied? Well, Sony’s got even more for you. Starting July 15, Planet Zoo makes its long-awaited console debut on PlayStation Plus. If you’ve ever dreamed of designing a world where lions roam next to flamingos and guests are wowed by your eco-friendly zoo empire, Planet Zoo gives you the creative freedom to do it all. It’s from the brilliant minds behind Planet Coaster and Zoo Tycoon, and it shines on PS5 with intuitive controls and four immersive game modes.
You’ll also get your hands on Tropico 6, where you can step into the well-tailored shoes of El Presidente. Build your own banana republic across sprawling archipelagos, manage political factions, and yes—make questionable decisions that would make any dictator blush. The Next Gen Edition includes The Llama of Wall Street DLC and the El Prez Pack, so you’re getting even more for your subscription.
And then there’s Risk of Rain 2, the perfect pick for those who like their action fast, unforgiving, and packed with loot. Whether you’re running solo or teaming up in co-op, this roguelike shooter ramps up the intensity with every minute. Expect huge bosses, wild builds, and that classic “just one more run” energy.
