PlayStation Plus monthly games for August 2025

August 2025 PlayStation Plus monthly game lineup offers something for nearly every kind of gamer. It is a diverse mix spanning gritty storytelling, intense survival, and anime-fueled action.

Starting August 5, subscribers across all PS Plus tiers - Essential, Extra, and Premium - can play Lies of P (PS4/PS5), Day Z (PS4), and My Hero One’s Justice 2 (PS4), free of cost.

Reportedly, of the three, Lies of P is likely the headliner, an eerie, Pinocchio-inspired soulslike from Round 8 Studio that’s drawn critical acclaim. While its recent Overture DLC won’t be included in the subscription, the base game alone offers hours of challenging, atmospheric gameplay.

Meanwhile, Day Z drops players into a lawless, zombie-infested world, and My Hero brings manga fans fast-paced, 3D arena battles. As per Gematsu, these titles will be up for grabs from August 5 to September 1. So, do not miss your chance to add them to your library.
