These are the positive reactions: But not all of our readers see it so negatively.
- Our reader D1avolus writes that there will always be dissatisfied people: “And in China, they prefer to play this and that, Australians prefer to play log tossing^^ You can never please everyone. You get something “for free” and still complain. Typical German, right?”
- Also, Millerntorian tries to see things more calmly: “(…) So what, over the course of 10 years of membership, many gaming gems have come around. So one can also skip one or two months. And considering the small amount (of course, you always get the discounted offers for extending your membership. That’s clear), I certainly don’t expect a huge surprise every time.”
Especially regarding NBA 2K20, opinions are divided. Some do not understand how the game can be part of the anniversary bundle, while others do not understand the annoyance over the sports game.
What the community says
On reddit, there is a heated debate about the new PS Plus games.
Here are the negative reactions: Some users are not very happy with the PS Plus offer in July. User TongueUser1K writes on reddit:
So dumb. Whoever wants 2K20 usually gets it within the first two months. It has already been on sale 8 times this year. In two and a half months, 21 will come out, what a joke. Tomb Raider is okay, I think. I have played it once, but no longer own the disc.

Others see the problem less with the games but with the timing. Many would have preferred a blockbuster for the anniversary instead of 3 relatively uninteresting games:
- User Faemsa is not bothered by the games, but by the timing: “NBA2K20 would be a good upgrade for me and Tomb Raider (which I have already completed) is a great game! So it is great that you all can enjoy it. It’s a pretty solid month, but as a 10th anniversary? The end of the console generation? I expected a month with an AAA exclusive title like GOW, HZD (which I also own, but would have been more fitting). The previous months (in which nothing was celebrated) had those blockbuster games.”
- SmtNocturneDante is bothered by the nature of the anniversary: “I really didn’t like how they celebrated the 10th year, I also didn’t know they would give a free theme for the celebration, but that’s not even remotely enough. There should have been a good selection of games that hadn’t been on sale recently.”
These are the positive reactions: But not everyone in the community sees the games so negatively. For example, user Sisco98 writes:
So, Erica, this is the birthday surprise. I am happy with it, I have been watching it for a while, but haven’t bought it – thankfully.

Sony has released the games for PS Plus in July 2020. The special thing: Thanks to the 10th anniversary of PS Plus, there are 3 games. However, the users’ joy is limited. Some believe that these games are not appropriate enough for the anniversary. But there are also more positive voices. MeinMMO explains why the games are not well received by subscribers.
Which games are available in PS Plus in July? Sony has officially announced which free games will be available in PS Plus in July 2020. This time there are 3 games:
- NBA 2K20, a basketball simulation
- Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration – an adventure game
- and Erica, a kind of thriller adventure
However, the 3 games are not well received by all players. We present you the opinions of our readers from MeinMMO and thoughts from other users.
Anniversary and old games: What users are annoyed by
These are the points of contention about PS Plus in July 2020: We first present the biggest criticisms from the community. The criticism or assessment varies greatly.
- The games are all good but come at a wrong time. They are not anniversary games, the users say.
- The age of the games: NBA 2K20 will be replaced in about 2 months by NBA 2K21, and Tomb Raider is also several years old.
- The nature of the anniversary: Many users wished for something “special” like a discount voucher for longtime subscribers for the store or an exclusive title.
What concerns MeinMMO readers
These are the negative reactions: MeinMMO reader Ron expresses his anger very clearly. He writes:
Super weak action from Sony. Sorry, but bringing NBA 2K20 for a 10th anniversary? This might interest some in the United States, but basketball is not that popular here in Europe. It should have been Fifa. I don’t even know Erica, and Rise of the Tomb Raider has been available for under 15 euros for quite a while. This is really disappointing.

Also, user Dave cannot understand Sony’s selection for the anniversary and feels similarly: “I also don’t understand, on the occasion of the anniversary, I would have expected some exclusives like God of War or Horizon [Zero Dawn]. But of all things, NBA 2K20, which is being ripped apart because of its terrible loot box system? Hmm.”
