Sony has announced its next batch of free games for PlayStation Plus subscribers for August 2025, and it’s headlined by Neowiz’s Soulslike Lies of P.
Joining Lies of P next month will be Day Z and My Hero One’s Justice 2. Both Day Z and My Hero One’s Justice 2 are PlayStation 4 titles. However, the games are available to play on PlayStation 5 via backward compatibility.
All of the games will be available starting August 5 until September 1. If you still haven’t picked up last month’s free games, you have until August 4 to grab Diablo 4, The King of Fighters XV and Jusant.
As per usual, if you add one of the free games to your library, it will remain available as long as you have an active subscription. Of course, games that require online access to play could become unavailable sooner than anticipated, even if you still own the game.
In addition to the free games, PlayStation Plus members will also get access to a “special set of 15th Anniversary Avatars” that include games like Cyberpunk 2077, Diablo 4, Hogwarts Legacy, God of War Ragnarök, and Twisted Metal.
August’s Free PlayStation Plus Games
For more details on each of August’s free games, you can check out the descriptions below, courtesy of Sony:
Lies of P | PS5, PS4
This macabre Soulslike draws its inspiration from an unlikely source: The Adventures of Pinocchio. In this grim reimagining of Carlo Collodi’s treasured tale, Pinocchio is trying to find the mysterious Mr. Geppetto. His journey takes him to Krat, a Belle Époque-inspired city whose humanity has been lost to madness and killer puppets. Pinocchio must battle for survival using a range of weapons and swappable Legion Arms with special abilities. He will also encounter non-hostile characters, but you will have to help him lie to fulfil his dream of becoming human.
Day Z | PS4
DayZ is a hardcore survival game where up to 60 players must strive to endure a post-apocalyptic world populated by frenzied infected and other survivors. DayZ includes the original iconic map of Chernarus and Livonia – the dense 163 km2 map which lets players experience the hardcore survival hit in a whole new environment. With no checkpoints or saves, when you die, you lose everything and have to start over.
My Hero One’s Justice 2 | PS4
My Hero One’s Justice 2, the over-the-top follow-up to the smash hit 3D arena fighter My Hero One’s Justice, makes its heroic debut! Make full use of characters’ Quirks as you clash head-to-head in epic battles across huge arenas!
