The Excitement Builds for August’s PlayStation Plus Games
Sony has really stepped up its game with PlayStation Plus, especially in the past few months. The addition of blockbuster titles like Cyberpunk 2077 to the Extra tier and the much-anticipated Diablo 4 in the Essential tier has set the stage for an electrifying summer of gaming.
As fans eagerly await the next wave of offerings, the clock is ticking down to August when a fresh batch of games will be unveiled for the Essential, Extra, and Premium tiers. The big reveal for August is scheduled for July 30 at 4:30 PM BST, which means gamers have a bit of a wait before finding out what titles will join the lineup.
The wait is crucial because the free PS4 and PS5 games will drop for download on August 5, giving subscribers some time to enjoy the current selections before the new arrivals shake things up.
What’s on the Horizon for August?
While anticipation builds, it’s worth grabbing the July titles, as they feature some of the best options we’ve seen recently. The highlight, without a doubt, is Diablo 4, which comes right in time for the latest seasonal content. This installment of the beloved dungeon-crawler franchise offers endless opportunities for loot and character upgrades.
Sony describes Diablo 4 as a next-gen action RPG that invites players to embark on a campaign filled with memorable characters in a beautifully dark world, whether solo or with friends. The game supports local and online multiplayer options, enhancing the collective experience as players dive into nightmarish dungeons and untold challenges.
Alongside this, fans will also find King of Fighters XV and the indie gem Jusant on the roster. Jusant presents a captivating climbing adventure, offering a mix of action and puzzle-solving set in a towering mystery just waiting to be unraveled.
In Jusant, players can challenge themselves at their own pace, utilizing various climbing tools as they explore alternative paths. As you ascend, the game encourages thoughtful navigation and mastery of your stamina—keeping every ascent an engaging puzzle.
