Still too hot out there to play outside? Need an excuse to stay indoors? Well, Sony has one for you: Free games! Keep in mind, however, that August does not seem to be the month of easy platinums. Without further ado, here is the PlayStation Plus free games August 2025 line-up, available for download on Tuesday, August 5.
First, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Lies of P, a third-person action-RPG developed by Neowiz and Round8. Loosely based on The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Colldi, the story takes place in the fictional city of Krat where Pinocchio must use melee weapons to battle enemy puppets, and disease-infected citizens. The gameplay has been heavily compared to the Dark Souls game series.
Next, for the PS4, there’s My Hero: One’s Justice 2 is a fighting game and sequel to the 2018 My Hero One’s Justice, and based on the manga series My Hero Academia by Kohei Horikoshi. Select your favorite character from a vast roster, and battle in either story mode or online multiplayer.
Lastly, for the PS4, there’s DayZ, the 2018 online survival game by Bohemia Interactive. After an infection has turned the world into a zombie apocalypse, players must survive by scavenging for food, weapons, and supplies, while battling against the infected, and either cooperating or fighting with other online players.
Among the PlayStation Plus free games August 2025 line-up, Lies of P and My Hero: One’s Justice 2 have platinum trophies to unlock. Also, achieving 100% is not particularly easy for any of these games, for different reasons.
Similar to the Dark Souls games, obtaining the platinum for Lies of P is no cakewalk. It also requires a minimum of two playthroughs, and that is provided that you make several saves to the PS Cloud in order to unlock the multiple endings. Expect around 50-60 hours on this one.
Unlocking the platinum for My Hero: One’s Justice 2 will depend on your fighting skills. In addition, there are some online trophies which will probably require some boosting, since the online servers have been reported to be rather dead.
Lastly, since DayZ is entirely online, unlocking 100% of the trophies is also very difficult to do without having some boosting partners to help you.
