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 Trophy Guide

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.

Dead Island Definitive Edition Trophy Guide

Dead Island

Dead Island is an action survival horror game in first-person, with RPG elements. Players explore and survive on an open-world island, while attacking the infested zombies in melee combat, and upgrading their character using XP. The game also includes online co-op play.

A rapper, a hotel receptionist and Chinese government spy, a former football legend, and an ex police officer, are staying at a resort on the fictional island of Banoi when a virus breaks out, turning everyone into zombies. The four survivors appear immune to the disease, and must fight their way in search of supplies, as well as find a way off the island.

Dead Island received some mixed reviews, though mostly positive, with an average score of 78%, criticized for glitches and bugs, but praised for its overall fun factor.

This game requires more time than skill. You can earn the majority of the trophies in one long playthrough, provided that you perform a certain glitch to help boost your character to level 50 - otherwise you'll need to play the game two or three more times. Afterwards, there's a bit of mopping-up to do.

In addition, there are 6 online trophies, all related to playing a certain set of quests with a certain set of people. Having boosting partners can make these trophies easier, though is not entirely necessary.

Expect to spend between 50 to 60 hours on this game, more if you don't use the glitch to reach level 50.

NOTE: The trophies on the PS4 Definitive Edition have a separate list from those on the PS3.

Most of your time will be spent playing through the campaign. There are a number of kill-related trophies, as well as several miscellaneous ones such as exploring the entire island, customizing weapons, and finding collectibles. Also, if you wish to avoid multiple playthroughs, check out the School Of Hard Knocks trophy in the guides under our Links tab for how to perform a glitch that will get you to level 50.

Keep in mind that once you beat the campaign, there is no more free roaming. You can, however, continue with a chapter select, though you will lose all your weapons this way. We recommend collecting all the miscellaneous trophies before ending the campaign, just to make life easier.

Once that's completed, you will need to play Act 1 three more times, once with the other three characters.

Hopefully, all that's left are the 6 online trophies. Just start a new game, and search for other players. Check out the Dead Island trophy guide links under our Links tab for specific details about these trophies, as well as a boosting forum for finding boosting partners, if need be.

nail’d Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

nail’d Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  An arcade-style racing game featuring ATV and dirt bikes across various off-road tracks. While the offline trophies are doable with enough time and grinding, the online are challenging without boosting.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC

nail’d

nail'd is an arcade-style racing game that features ATV and dirt bikes. Players race across various off-road tracks which include the mountainside of Yesemite National Park, the Grand Canyon, and around redwood trees, while performing stunts and competing in either single-player or online multiplayer with up to twelve players. The game features a soundtrack with such bands as Queens of the Stone Age and Rise Against.

nail'd received widely mixed reviews, with an average score of 61%, praised by some for the game's handling and physics, as well as its variety of tracks, though criticized by others for its lack in presentation and graphics.

This is a high 3-star rating, mainly due to the nine online trophies which are quite difficult to obtain legitimately not only due to what's involved, but for the lack of online players. The Heart Of A Champion trophy in particular, requires you to win an online race with five other players of higher class, a difficult trophy even to boost unless you find five players that meet this criteria. The offline trophies are also challenging, but doable with enough time and grinding.

Expect roughly 60 hours for the Platinum with boosting, and far more if you're going for the online trophies legitimately.

Before we begin, it should be noted that the online trophy, Heart Of A Champion, requires you to win a race against five other players who are of higher rank. If you complete the single-player Tournament mode, your rank will automatically increase, thereby making this trophy even harder to obtain. One method around this is, if you are a PlayStation Plus member, play through the game as normal, then save your game to the online storage and delete the save off your hard drive. After you've managed to acquire the trophy, re-download your save. Otherwise, you may wish to get this trophy out of the way in the beginning.

When you're ready to start the single player, head into Tournament mode and work your way through, earning gold medals in every event for the Golden Guy trophy. This can be done on Easy mode. You will also need to win every stunt and timed event in order to collect each of the Native-related trophies. It should be noted that the game does not keep track of which events you won, so either make sure to win each one along the way, or track your loses on your own if you wish to return to them later.

After that, you can move onto Time Attack mode. There are a number of trophies related to beating the best times of the developers for all the 14 tracks.

Finally, mop-up any miscellaneous offline trophies you may still be missing. Be sure to check out the nail'd trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you need and their requirements.

With the exception of the Heart Of A Champion trophy, you can work on the online trophies at any time. Some will require more than one other player, such as The Great Battle Of Our Time trophy for winning an online match while being smashed twice as well as smashing two other opponents. Other trophies may simply be a grind even with boosting, such as the A True Winner trophy for winning 100 online races, or challenging even while boosting, such as the Not A Scratch trophy for winning five online events in a row without crashing. Check out the boosting forums under our Links tab to help search for other online players.

Good luck!
