PlayStation Plus subscribers eager for a fresh cooperative gaming experience should circle July 22 on their calendars. While new game additions to the PlayStation Plus Extra tier usually arrive simultaneously, July 2025 breaks this pattern with a staggered release schedule.

The July 2025 PS Plus Extra lineup has already welcomed Cyberpunk 2077, giving members complete access to this award-winning open-world adventure at no additional cost. The service will expand further on July 25 with titles including New World: Aeternum and Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. However, the most anticipated addition comes on July 22 - a cooperative survival game that has garnered 'overwhelmingly positive' reviews during its Steam early access period.

Abiotic Factor represents an exciting evolution in cooperative survival games, supporting up to six players as they navigate a mysterious underground research facility. The game features multiple distinct realms, each with unique visual styles and environmental challenges. While clearly inspired by Valve's Half-Life series, Abiotic Factor introduces innovative survival mechanics that transform the familiar formula into something fresh and engaging.

Release Details and Platform Availability

Mark your calendars for Tuesday, July 22, when Abiotic Factor makes its console debut exclusively through PlayStation Plus Extra. This strategic placement ensures an immediate player base, eliminating the barrier of individual purchases and making it easier for friends to team up.

Although available on PC since 2024, Abiotic Factor's PS5 version qualifies as a day-one release for PlayStation Plus Extra. 2025 has seen several successful day-one launches on the service, including April's surprise hit Blue Prince. Whether Abiotic Factor achieves similar success remains to be seen, but its inclusion in the subscription service guarantees significant exposure.
