Before you spend money on your next game, check what's waiting for you in PlayStation Plus. Sony's August lineup is officially here, bringing a huge open-world survival game, a fun co-op adventure, and one of the best psychological horror indies in recent years .

All three games are available to claim from August 4th through August 31st . Once you've added them to your library, they're yours to play for as long as your PlayStation Plus membership stays active.

These monthly games are included with PlayStation Plus Essential, and they're also available to Extra and Premium members .

Let's see what's on offer.

 

3. Dying Light 2: Stay Human – Reloaded Edition (PS4, PS5)

 

Leading this month's lineup is Dying Light 2: Stay Human – Reloaded Edition, a post-apocalyptic zombie action game from Techland, the creators of Dead Island .

What It's About: Set 20 years after the original Dying Light, the world has been ravaged by a virus. You play as Aiden Caldwell, a wanderer with the power to change the fate of "The City" — the last bastion of civilization . You'll traverse rooftops using parkour, battle the infected, and get caught up in conflicts between rival factions .

 

Why It's Worth Your Time:

 

• Open-World Parkour: The city is your playground—you can climb, glide, and run across rooftops at high speed.

• Day/Night Cycle: The world changes dramatically at night. The infected become more aggressive and dangerous, adding a whole new layer of tension .

• Four-Player Co-op: You don't have to do it alone. The entire campaign can be played with up to three friends .

• The Reloaded Edition: This version includes extra in-game content and all technical updates released since the game's original launch .

Whether you're out during the day or surviving the dangers of the night, there's always something around the next corner.

 

2. Big Walk (PS5)

 

Next up is Big Walk, a brand-new co-op adventure from the creators of the indie hit Untitled Goose Game . This is a day-one release, meaning it launched directly into PlayStation Plus on August 4 .

What It's About: This isn't about racing to the finish line or defeating enemies. It's a relaxed, cooperative multiplayer adventure where communication and teamwork are everything . You and your friends explore a wide-open world full of challenges, puzzles, and discoveries, and you'll need to work together to find your way around .

 

Why It's Worth Your Time:

 

• Communication Is Key: The game features a proximity-based voice chat system voices fade with distance, are muffled by walls, echo in corridors, and can be transmitted through walkie-talkies . This makes communication a core part of the gameplay.

• Relaxed Co-op: There's no pressure. It's a game to enjoy with friends, creating plenty of hilarious moments along the way .

• Unique Visuals: A beautiful, colorful world to explore together.

It's the perfect game to enjoy with friends who want something more laid-back.

 

1. Signalis (PS4)

 

Rounding out the lineup is Signalis, a classic survival horror experience that has earned a strong reputation among horror fans since its release in 2022 .

What It's About: Set in a retro-futuristic, dystopian world, you play as Elster, an android (called a Replika) searching for her missing partner . You must explore abandoned facilities, solve puzzles, conserve ammunition, and fend off nightmarish creatures . The game is drenched in a melancholic, psychological mystery that echoes classics like Silent Hill and Resident Evil .

 

Why It's Worth Your Time:

 

• Atmospheric Horror: Tense exploration, limited resources, and an unforgettable sci-fi story.

• Old-School Survival: It doesn't hold your hand. You'll need to manage your resources carefully and pay attention to your environment .

• Award-Winning Indie: Signalis holds a Metascore of 81 and a User Score of 8.4 .

If you're into classic survival horror, this is one you shouldn't skip.
