Sony has announced the August 2025 PS Plus Essential games, including Lies of P, DayZ, and My Hero One's Justice 2, available for download now on PS5 and PS4 in the UK, Europe, and later in the US, with a deadline of September 2nd to claim them.
The August 2025 PS Plus Essential lineup is generally well-received, highlighted by the highly-rated Lies of P, though some may find DayZ and My Hero One's Justice 2 less appealing due to performance issues and average gameplay, respectively.
Sony's PS Plus August lineup includes the highly acclaimed Lies of P, along with DayZ and My Hero One’s Justice 2, with new anniversary avatars available for download, as the service continues its 15th anniversary celebrations.
PlayStation Plus subscribers will receive three free games in August 2025: Lies of P, a NeoWiz action-adventure inspired by Pinocchio; DayZ, a survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world; and My Hero One’s Justice 2, a fighting game based on My Hero Academia. These games are available for download from August 5 to September 2, 2025, as part of the Essential tier of Sony's subscription service.
Sony announced the August lineup for PS Plus, featuring Lies of P, Day Z, and My Hero One's Justice 2, available from August 5th for Premium, Extra, and Essential subscribers, with last month's games ending availability on August 5th.
