Later in June, PlayStation is celebrating the 15-year anniversary of PlayStation Plus, the online service offering online connectivity, cloud saves, and monthly game access. Launched on June 29, 2010, PlayStation Plus has evolved greatly over the years.
In a PlayStation Blog post, Sony Interactive Entertainment extends a “huge thank you to all our fans for your support throughout these years.” In celebration of the 15-year milestone, PlayStation announces three new titles being made available to PlayStation Plus members starting on July 1st and running through to August 4th.
Diablo IV is the latest action RPG in the series from Blizzard Entertainment. The entry includes an epic-scaled campaign that can be played solo or with friends, either locally or online. Players can the expansive endgame content, taking on World Bosses, unlocking loot and levelling up their characters. The game also features seasonal content, including Season of the Horadrim, which launches on July 1st so PlayStation Plus subscribers can get started right away.
The King of Fighters XV is the latest in the fighting game series. Incorporating a 3-on-3 team battle setup, the game offers 39 characters (mixing classic fighters, revived combatants and new warriors). Additionally, players will find a new combat system and rollback netcode to reduce lag in online matches. With the PlayStation Plus launch, players will find the “Classic Leona” DLC costume available.
