PlayStation Plus subscribers gain access to acclaimed free 80-hour RPG
A new RPG of great depth has arrived at no additional cost for PlayStation Plus members, as announced on Tuesday, July 12, 2026. This title, described as a masterpiece that can consume up to 80 hours of gameplay, represents an unmissable opportunity for those looking for a long-lasting experience. Sony’s subscription service has seen a lot of movement, including the reveal of a surprise bonus in July, in addition to the monthly games and additions to the catalog.
Although the month brings several interesting news for players, it is prudent to also pay attention to the titles that will leave PS Plus in July. This churn serves as a reminder that not all additions are permanent, encouraging users to prioritize certain games. For RPG enthusiasts, the recommendation is to start the journey with this recent release, which is quickly positioning itself as one of the highlights of the month.

The game in question is CrossCode, now available to all subscribers as part of July’s free PlayStation Plus essential games. Developed by independent studio Radical Fish Games and originally released in 2018, this RPG is a notable addition to its genre. With retro 2D pixel art graphics and dynamic action gameplay, the title invites players to explore an enigmatic universe. CrossCode stands out for the variety of its content, promising to delight any fan of classic RPGs, especially those familiar with the first games in the Zelda series.
The inclusion of CrossCode in PlayStation Plus is seen as one of the most valuable and attractive additions to this month’s catalog. It is an RPG that allows players to dedicate countless hours without experiencing monotony. Gameplay estimates point to an average duration of around 54 hours. Those who choose to focus exclusively on the main narrative can complete the adventure in just over 35 hours. However, for players who like to complete all the challenges, explore side missions and seek achievements, the experience can last up to 80 hours.
Influences of classics like Zelda and Chrono Trigger in the game
CrossCode presents a harmonious combination that evokes elements of 2D games from The Legend of Zelda series and, in some aspects, Chrono Trigger. The game mechanics strongly refer to the Nintendo franchise, with map exploration and real-time confrontations against enemies. However, the game’s themes, engaging characters and vibrant visuals bear clear inspiration from Chrono Trigger, Square’s acclaimed RPG.
This is the perfect opportunity for anyone who hasn’t tried CrossCode yet. The game offers a rewarding experience, especially as it is accessible for free to PlayStation Plus subscribers. Don’t miss your chance to redeem this RPG and add it to your personal collection while your subscription is active.
