July 21 ? Journey

• Journey for the PS4 system creates another opportunity for gamers everywhere to play the critically award winning title, now in stunning 1080p. Awakening in an unknown world, the player walks, glides, and flies through a vast and awe-inspiring landscape ?teaming up with other strangers they meet along the way or traveling alone ? while discovering the history of an ancient, mysterious civilization along the way.
• Price: $14.99
• PS Plus Pre-Order Price: $11.99

July 28 ? N++

• N++ is a fast-paced, action-packed puzzle-platformer set in the distant future. You play as a ninja — darting through obstacles, narrowly evading a slew of inadvertently homicidal enemy robots, and collecting gold in a minimalist, sci-fi world. You know, traditional ninja stuff. N++ has thousands of hand-crafted levels, each featuring a series of difficult challenges, diabolical traps, and a distinct visual style to nimbly soar through. And if that weren?t enough, there’s also a built-in level editor (plus global level sharing and leaderboards)!
• Price: $19.99
• PS Plus Pre-Order Price: $15.99

 August 4 ? GALAK-Z

• Classic anime, ’90s spaceship shooters, and precision arcade gameplay collide in GALAK-Z. Shockingly smart enemies work together and track your every move as you hone your skills to pilot your ship in zero gravity. A living and interactive environment serves as the stage for your physics-based death ballet in this hand-drawn homage to anime dreams.
• Price: $19.99
• PS Plus Pre-Order Price: $15.99

August 11 ?Everybody?s Gone to the Rapture

• Everybody?s Gone to the Rapture transports the player back to the moments leading up to the apocalypse to explore the choices people make when they?re faced with world-shattering events beyond their control.
