PS Plus August 2025 free PS4 and PS5 games - When will new titles be announced

Sony has raised its game with PS Plus these past couple of months, adding games like Cyberpunk 2077 to Extra, as well as Diablo 4 to the Essential tier.

Fans will be hoping the trend continues into August, when Sony will release a whole new batch of games for the Essential, Extra and Premium tiers.

It all starts with the PlayStation Plus Essentials, which will be available to download and play in early August. Unfortunately, however, this means fans face a longer wait to find out what games will be joining the line-up.

Indeed, the PlayStation Plus Essentials for August will be officially revealed by Sony at 4.30pm BST UK time on July 30.

The free PS4 and PS5 games will be available to download and install less than a week later, on August 5.

While this means an extra long wait to find out what's joining the line-up, it does at least give subscribers extra time to grab the Essentials for July.

And if you haven't already it's definitely worth doing, because the July PS Plus Essentials are some of the best we've seen in a long time.

The headline release is Diablo 4, which is available just as the latest Season is added to the game.

Diablo 4 is a popular dungeon-crawler, where each run unlocks countless weapons and upgrades.

Sony explains more: "Diablo 4 is the next-gen action RPG experience with endless evil to slaughter, countless abilities to master, nightmarish Dungeons and legendary loot.

"Embark on the campaign solo or with friends (2 player local or up to 4 players online), meeting memorable characters throughout a beautifully dark open world and a gripping story."

Diablo 4 is joined by King of Fighters 15, as well as indie climbing adventure Jusant.

"Jusant is an action-puzzle climbing game and a meditative journey to the top of a tall tower," reads the official description.

"Challenge yourself at your own pace, explore different paths, and unravel the secrets from a bygone civilisation. Master your climbing tools and watch your stamina meter to successfully navigate this mysterious and changing tower. As you go higher and hone your skills, you'll have to figure out how best to use the tools at your disposal to get to where you want to go. Explore alternative paths to find clues about what happened here."
