PS Plus free games for August 2023 confirmed

Last month's games were Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War, Alan Wake Remastered, and Endling - Extinction is Forever. They were available until 31st July.

From today, PS Plus Essential members will get the following free games in August:

• PGA Tour 2K23
• Dreams
• Death's Door

It's an interesting choice to include Dreams in the monthly freebies, but we're looking forward to playing around with it.

These games are available until 1st September! As more games are confirmed for PS Plus, we'll update this page.

What do you get with the other PS Plus tiers?

Along with the aforementioned PS Plus games for August, depending on your tier, you can get access to hundreds of games from across all of the PlayStation generations - even including the PSP!

PS Plus Extra nets you the three Essential games but also grants you access to a whole plethora of great games, some of which are timed - so be sure to claim them before they go.

As long as you do claim them, you’ll be able to download and play them whenever you like, so long as you have an active PS Plus Extra account. Here’s just a handful of some of the great games on offer.

• Death Stranding Director's Cut (PS5)
• Bloodborne (PS4)
• Days Gone (PS4)
• Demon Souls (PS5)
• DOOM Eternal (PS4, PS5)
• God of War (PS4)
• Horizon Zero Dawn

As well as all the games included in the other tiers, PS Plus Premium lets you download and play older titles from PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP to harken back to a simpler time and relive your younger years.

PS3 games are only available via cloud streaming and this is region-dependent, but the UK is included in this list so we won’t miss out.

Below are but a few of the great classics you can revisit.

• Resident Evil: Director's Cut (PS1)
• Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee (PS1)
• The Jak and Dexter series (PS2)
• Siren (PS2)
• The God of War Collection and God of War Ascension (PS3)
• inFAMOUS and inFAMOUS 2 (PS3)
• Pursuit Force (PSP)
• Blade Dancer: Lineage of Light (PSP)

As a PS Plus Premium subscriber, you also have access to time-limited trials, which lets try before you buy and download a full game and play it for a set amount of time. The length of the trial varies depending on the game.

What’s also great here is that the progress you make on these trials will carry over if you end up buying the full game. We’ve got a selection of just a few below.

• A Plague Tale: Requiem – Two hours
• Cyberpunk 2077 – Five hours
• God of War Ragnarok – Three hours
• The Last of Us: Part I – Two hours
• Gotham Knights – One hour
• Sonic Frontiers – One hour

As you can see, longer RPG and story games get longer trials, so you can really get a good sense of what you’re getting into before you fish out your wallet.

And that's your lot! We'll make sure to update this page as and when new PS Plus games are announced. For more info, check out our guide to the latest PS Plus offers.
