PS Plus free games: New games revealed for August 2026

Another month means another batch of free PS Plus games for August 2026!

Just like Xbox Game Pass, PS Plus has a huge number of titles that you can play with a fairly reasonable subscription.

There was a hefty price hike for PS Plus, but it's still quite good value, especially if you make the most of our great PS Plus deals.

So, once you've got your subscription up and running, here are all of the games coming to PS Plus in August 2026.

PS Plus free games for August 2026 confirmed

PS Plus Essential members will get three free titles on 4 August as part of this month's games:

  • Dying Light 2 (PS5, PS4)
  • Big Walk (PS5)
  • Signalis (PS4)

If you enjoyed last year's Dying Light: The Beast, then now is the perfect time to head back in time and revisit Dying Light 2. With plenty of updates added since it first released back in 2022, there's never been a better time to explore its terrifying open world.

For a total emotional 180, the second game on our list is Big Walk. Unusual for PS Plus, it's a day one release, coming to us from the creators of Untitled Goose Game. You'll team up with your friends for a big walk (surprise, surprise), where you'll need to communicate to solve puzzles along your challenging journey.

Last, but not least, Signalis is one of the best indie horror games of the last few years. Playing as an android aboard a mining facility, you're tasked with exploring the halls to solve various mysteries and solve puzzles, contending with hostile supernatural entities in a tense and gripping 2.5D world.

What to play on PS Plus – our recommendations

If you're looking for some other great games to play in the PS Plus Game Catalogue, we'd recommend these ones for sure:

  • Control: Ultimate Edition
  • Death Stranding Director's Cut (PS5)
  • Days Gone (PS4)
  • Demon's Souls (PS5)
  • DOOM Eternal (PS4, PS5)

As well as all the games included in the other tiers, PS Plus Premium lets you download and play older titles from PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP to harken back to a simpler time and relive your younger years.

PS3 games are only available via cloud streaming and this is region-dependent, but the UK is included in this list so we don't miss out.

See below for a selection of classics you can revisit:

  • Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (PS1)
  • Ridge Racer Type 4 (PS1)
  • Resident Evil Director's Cut (PS1)
  • The Jak and Dexter series (PS2)
  • Dark Cloud (PS2)
  • The God of War Collection and God of War Ascension (PS3)
  • inFAMOUS and inFAMOUS 2 (PS3)
  • Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice (PSP)
  • Killzone: Liberation (PSP)

As a PS Plus Premium subscriber, you also have access to time-limited trials, which lets you try before you buy and download a full game and play it for a set amount of time. The length of the trial varies depending on the game.

What’s also great here is that the progress you make on these trials will carry over if you end up buying the full game. We’ve got a selection of just a few below.

  • A Plague Tale: Requiem – Two hours
  • Baldur's Gate 3 – Two hours
  • Cyberpunk 2077 – Five hours
  • God of War Ragnarok – Three hours
  • The Last of Us: Part I – Two hours
  • Hogwarts Legacy – 45 minutes
  • Spider-Man 2 - Two hours

As you can see, longer RPGs and story titles get longer trials, so you can get a good sense of what you’re getting into before you fish out your wallet. Make sure to check out our more comprehensive list of all PS Plus games so you don't miss out on any games you've been meaning to play.

And that's your lot! We'll update this page as and when new PS Plus games are announced. For more info, check out our guide to the latest PS Plus offers to walk away with some cheap deals on the subscription.
