Sony has announced the PlayStation Plus monthly games for August 2025, and it’s an exciting lineup! Starting August 5, 2025, all PlayStation Plus members (Essential, Extra, and Deluxe/Premium tiers) can download three games: Lies of P, DayZ, and My Hero One’s Justice 2. These games will be available until September 1, 2025.
Lies of P
A dark action game inspired by the Pinocchio story. You play as Pinocchio in a creepy city called Krat, filled with dangerous puppets and madness. The game is challenging, with tough boss fights and a unique “lie system” that changes the story based on your choices.
It has a haunting, old-world vibe and offers intense combat with different weapons and special abilities. It recently added easier difficulty options, making it more welcoming for new players. It’s also optimized for PS5 and PS5 Pro for better graphics and performance.
- Available On: PS4 and PS5.
DayZ
A survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world with zombies and other players. Up to 60 players can explore two huge maps, Chernarus and Livonia, trying to find food, weapons, and supplies while avoiding danger. If you die, you lose everything and start over.
It’s a tense, unpredictable experience where every encounter feels risky. The game has a dedicated fanbase, though it can be tough for beginners due to its survival challenges. It runs on PS4 but is playable on PS5 with smoother performance.
- Available On: PS4 (playable on PS5 via backward compatibility).
My Hero One’s Justice 2
A fast-paced fighting game based on the popular My Hero Academia anime. You control characters like Midoriya and Bakugo, using their special “Quirks” to battle in large 3D arenas.
It’s perfect for anime fans, with colorful, action-packed fights and a roster of beloved characters. The game builds on the original with new moves and story moments, making it fun and easy to pick up.
- Available On: PS4 (playable on PS5).
Extra Goodies
As part of PlayStation Plus’ 15th anniversary celebration, members can claim a free set of avatars starting August 5. These feature popular games like Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, Diablo IV, God of War Ragnarök, and Twisted Metal. No extra cost is needed to grab them!
Last Chance for July Games
You have until August 4, 2025, to add July’s PlayStation Plus games—Diablo IV, The King of Fighters XV, and Jusant—to your library before they’re replaced by the August lineup.
