The sweltering temperatures outside keep me craving indoor comfort. That’s why I’m thrilled that two of this month’s PlayStation Plus titles focus on exploring environments on foot alongside friends. Why brave a scorching 115‑degree day when you can keep the AC on, hydrate, and trek through virtual landscapes with companions from the safety of your living room?
During a July 28 announcement, Sony disclosed the upcoming lineup of PS5 and PS4 titles slated for next month’s PlayStation Plus offering. Subscribers of any tier will be able to permanently add these games to their libraries beginning August 4. After acquisition, the titles can be installed and enjoyed at any time, provided the user maintains an active PS Plus Essential, Extra, or Premium membership. Below is the roster of games and their platform availability.
Act swiftly to secure these monthly PlayStation Plus offerings, as the free‑download window closes on August 31. Once that deadline passes, a fresh set of undisclosed titles will be introduced to subscribers.
I’m particularly eager to welcome Big Walk to PlayStation Plus on day one. This title may present a challenge for some friends to purchase, but as a complimentary addition to the subscription, they’re likely to give it a try. I hope they do, as Big Walk promises engaging puzzles and a sprawling island to explore with companions. Meanwhile, if my friends want to hang out and move around but also kill zombies, we can all grab Dying Light 2 next month. It’s a fine zombie RPG that has improved significantly by 2026 compared to its launch. Lastly, Signalis is a creepy indie survival horror game worth checking out.
