Free PS4 PlayStation Plus Game For July Gets Substitution

Soccer swapped for androids.

142 Comments

The free PlayStation Plus offerings for July have gotten a last-minute substitution. Sony announced that instead of Pro Evolution Soccer 2019, as previously announced, members will instead get Detroit: Become Human. This is the Digital Deluxe edition, which means it also includes another Quantic Dream game: Heavy Rain. The statement announcing the change didn't give much insight as to the reason for the swap, but the news came just hours before the free games were set to arrive on PSN. They're now available on the PlayStation Store and will be available until August 6.

"We are making a swap to the PS Plus games lineup for July," the announcement states. "This month, we are adding Detroit: Become Human Digital Deluxe Edition, which also includes Heavy Rain, to the July games lineup instead of Pro Evolution Soccer 2019. We apologize for any inconvenience."

Now Playing: Free PS4 PlayStation Plus Games For July 2019 Out Now

The two-for-one Quantic Dream offering will be joined by Horizon Turbo Chase. Quantic Dream's games have become known for moody, atmospheric cinematic qualities and photorealistic characters, often matching their real-life actors. Detroit: Become Human is the studio's latest, taking place in a not-too-distant future where androids begin to rise up against their subservient roles.

"I played with my best intentions. Things didn't always go the way I wanted, but that was a burden I chose to bear, and the story benefitted from my commitment, flowcharts be damned," Peter Brown wrote in GameSpot's review. "After completing the game, I tried to go back and fight my instincts to see what would happen if I chose a darker path. It never felt justified nor worthwhile. Detroit is well worth playing, but it struggles to strike the right balance between giving you freedom of choice and reminding you that it's all a game in the end. Cage and Quantic Dream are getting closer to nailing this style of game, but it's obvious that there's still room to grow."

@doomsdayhell01: It's not a bad game but it's kind of hard to call it a game as such. Interactive movie seems more appropriate. Very little skill is needed . Good story/s though overall. Thank goodness for Game Pass though i have practically given up buying games anymore now that is on PC as well. I really only use PS4 Pro to download the free games Sony offer and as a free overseas telephone.

I'd use it again if they made another Uncharted game or series though but just haven't been interested in anything they have offered since Uncharted 3 or Infamous to be totally honest. I know there have been quite a few first party Sony games people rave about and i have them all but just didn't find them compelling including God of War and Spiderman.

Spiderman just feels like a knock off of the Arkham games without the brilliant Puzzle solving and amazing voicework and the combat is just a shadow of arkham games. Horizon Zero Dawn i just couldn't get into as the main character has a face like a smashed turnip and it just turned me off the game , that and he very little interactivity with the world.

Detroit starts off (and I mean, like almost half of it) as very boring to me, but it gets better. It looks incredibly good too. It's the only choose your own adventure game that the choices I would make gave me an outcome that was not even close to what I wanted. It wasn't easy to predict how the outcome would be but I was also very stubborn in my choices. I generally try to save every single character while still being the most pacifist I could be; the game didn't like that and I got pretty much everyone killed. I didn't like it enough to go back through it again and make everyone out, but I thought that was interesting. Couldn't even get through Heavy Rain. It was hilariously bad. I wanted to around its launch but after much procrastination, I finally decided to try it when it became a PS Plus game, it was too late I think. I also already knew of the twist since I stopped caring some years after its PS3 release but wanted to know what happens.

@NTM23: Heavy Rain was quite decent. Easily earns a 7 or 8. It doesn't have any replay value for me though, even if it offers many different endings. I wasn't interested in going through it again and making different decisions. Because it wouldn't be "me". I played it the first time exactly the way I wanted to.

@NTM23: The controls almost derail it though. It needs to have conventional controls and none of this pretend VR crap.

Good job, Sony. I already have Detroit and it's a great game if you are into story driven experiences. I'm glad more will get to experience it and Heavy Rain which is also included in the deluxe package. As for Pro Evolution...

True, True. Fool me once, Sony... >.>

$11 was a steal, and more than worth the value I got out of it. Detroit was a game on my radar that I plain forgot about, and in hindsight, $60 was probably more than I would have actually felt good about paying for it. That game for FREE is fantastic.

I'd have blown that money on street tacos, anyway. I mean, I got them anyway, but... maybe I would have got more. *shrug*

Glad I'm not the only one lol. :)

@midgar: lessons that I learned is that when a game is on discount so unusually cheap, it will definitively appear on PS+ soon. happened to me with MGSV, Bloodborne and few others.

Bought the game on release day. Sold it two days later after finishing it.

Starts off well but weirdly meets every blockbuster cliché ever after something like the first half. Disappointing

@rickjamesia: Same, I kept putting off buying it every sale, knowing (hoping) it would eventually hit PS+. Just didn’t think it would this quickly.

As someone who played a lot of FIFA until I got tired enough of EA to abandon it and pay to win, I was excited about getting a full PES game to try out, they could have won a customer. I have no interest in Detroit, nothing about the style appeals to me.

@Flyin3lvl: Exactly. Gamers can be a churlish bunch. 90 percent of people complained about the original lineup and now they seemingly reverse their opinion.

I've found these to be the perfect games to play with wives / girlfriends even if they're not into gaming. Basically long movies where you have some effect on outcome.

Why I don’t buy Quantic Dream’s games, Sony seems to publish just so they have something for PS Plus later. I’m not a soccer/football fan but PES was at least something we don’t normally get.

Well, I was really excited to play PES! I love soccer / football games, and haven’t played since fifa on PS2 I think. That said, I’ve been meaning to play Detroit and loved heavy rain. In any case can’t complain given the price.
