PlayStation Plus Free Games August 2026

Editorial Team

While some may be sore at Sony right now, due to their recent announcement of ending physical disc production in the near future, they are of course still on schedule with their monthly freebies for PlayStation Plus members. And so, here is the PlayStation Plus free games August 2026 line-up, which will be available for download on Tuesday, August 4.

First, for the PS5, there’s Big Walk, the cooperative adventure title developed by House House, and published by Panic. Explore an open-world and solve puzzles with your friends using different methods of communication. The game allows for two to four players.

Next, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Dying Light 2: Stay Human, the 2022 action RPG survival horror, developed by Techland, and sequel to the 2015 Dying Light. Taking place 22 years after its predecessor, players navigate a zombie apocalyptic open world as player-character Aiden Caldwell, who must decide the fate of The City while being caught between two warring factions.

Finally, for the PS4, there’s Signalis, a 2022 survival horror game developed by rose-engine. Players control Elster/LSTR, an android, in search of her lost partner, while uncovering secrets and solving puzzles, while battling against creatures.

Within the PlayStation Plus free games August 2026 line-up, all three titles have a platinum trophy to unlock.

Among them, Signalis arguably has the quickest and easiest platinum trophy to unlock. The game itself is average in terms of difficulty, and requires about 10 hours of gameplay. With a guide, this can be even easier and quicker.

Next, Big Walk is easy enough with a guide, and only requires roughly 10-14 hours, depending on whether or not you are using a guide. However, keep in mind that the game requires at least two players.

Lastly, obtaining the platinum for Dying Light 2: Stay Human is average in terms of difficulty, but you will need well over 100 hours. This is due to several grindy trophies. Also, the game includes a few co-op related trophies, as well.

Dying Light

Dying Light is a first-person survival horror set in an open world. Players explore the zombie apocalypse environment, scavenging for supplies and crafting weapons, while progressing through the story by completing missions. The game features a day-night cycle which alters aspects of the gameplay, such as zombies becoming more aggressive and dangerous at night. The game also includes online multiplayer with up to four players in co-op mode.

Set in the fictional city of Harran after a viral outbreak has transformed most of the population into zombie-like creatures, Kyle Crane is an undercover operative sent to find Kadir "Rais" Suleiman, a politician who possesses a file that could incriminate Crane's agency. However, he must soon decide to go ahead with his mission, or help the survivors he encounters.

Dying Light received generally positive reviews with an average score of 74%, praised for its graphics, co-operative multiplayer mode, expansive open-world, and its day-night cycle, though criticized by some for overused fetch-quests and technical issues.

This is a low 3-star rating. The game itself is not particularly difficult, but can be quite time consuming with a lot to do after completing the story, such as completing side-missions and finding collectibles. There are four online trophies which can be tricky finding players for, particularly the Polyamory trophy which requires you to complete five quests with the same three partners. However, if you can find three other boosting partners, they are easy to do. Overall, the game is more time consuming than difficult.

Expect around 40-50 hours for the Platinum, depending on skills as well as whether or not you boost the online trophies.

You can start things off by playing through the main story, which should take about 10 hours. There are no missable trophies to worry about. However, to make things easier later on, you may wish to perform the Random Events that occasionally pop up on the map. Doing this will help you in working towards the We're All In This Together trophy for saving 15 survivors from zombies, and the Homo Homini Lupus Est trophy from rescuing 15 survivors from Rais's men. During your main story playthrough, don't worry about the side missions just yet.

At any time after completing the main story, you can start working on the multiplayer trophies, which you'll be completing those side missions. The hardest trophy, if doing this legitimately, will be the Polyamory trophy for completing 5 quests in one co-op game with the same three partners, obviously because players come and go.

You'll also need to take part in 10 co-op competitions for the Harran Athletics trophy, and win 7 co-op competitions for the Lucky 7 trophy. Also, if you managed to unlock the Polyamory trophy, you'll have automatically obtained the I've Got Your Back trophy for completing at least one co-op game. If you're in need of a boosting partner, check out the boosting forums under our Links tab.

Otherwise, the rest is a matter of mopping-up all the other miscellaneous trophies, which is more time consuming than difficult. This will include finding a heap of collectibles, some kill-related trophies if you haven't yet unlocked them, and a few other random ones. Be sure to check out the Dying Light trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you still need and their requirements.
