The new PlayStation Store's 2015 PLAY lineup of games is now available for pre-orders.

The annual PLAY event is a summertime treat offered by Sony to PlayStation owners. It usually offers PlayStation owners new games and deals exclusively available during the brief summer window.

For this year, Sony is providing fans with four new titles to choose from, according to IGN. All of the titles that are part of the 2015 PLAY lineup are also available with 20 percent discount for PlayStation Plus members who will pre-order the games.

The first of the four titles to be released is "Journey," a critically-acclaimed game that takes players across a dynamic yet beautiful landscape simply waiting to be explored. Along the way, players may team up with strangers they meet as they explore the remnants of the old civilization. "Journey" is coming to both PlayStation 3 (PS3) and PlayStation 4 (PS4) on July 21 for $14.99.

Next up in the lineup is the combination puzzle and platform game known as "N++," according to the official PlayStation blog. The game allows a player to take on the role of a ninja who makes his way through a futuristic landscape filled with obstacles and enemies. "N++" will be available on PS4 starting July 28 for $19.99.

Another game in the PLAY lineup is "GALAK-Z." In this game, players can hop into a spaceship as they gun down enemies hot on their tail. The entire game is done in the classic anime style. "GALAK-Z" will be available for PS4 beginning Aug. 4 for $19.99.

Last up is "Everybody's Gone to the Rapture," a game that explores what happens when people make certain choices ahead of world-changing events. It will be available starting Aug. 11 for PS4 for $19.99.

In addition, players who get two or more of the games from the PLAY lineup will also receive a PlayStation Store coupon that entitles them to a 10 percent discount on an entire cart purchase.
