Sony PlayStation has officially unveiled the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for August 2025, and the lineup is nothing short of thrilling. Starting August 5, subscribers will get access to three dynamic titles—Lies of P, DayZ, and My Hero One’s Justice 2—as part of their monthly membership benefits.
This latest drop continues Sony PlayStation’s trend of mixing gritty survival, action RPG, and fan-favorite anime brawlers to cater to a wide range of gamer interests. If you’re a PlayStation Plus member, it’s time to mark your calendars.
Lies of P – A Twisted Soulslike Adventure
First up is Lies of P, a dark reimagining of the classic Pinocchio tale, heavily inspired by FromSoftware’s Soulslike formula. Set in the eerie, Belle Époque-style city of Krat, the game puts players in control of a puppet-like Pinocchio as he searches for the elusive Mr. Geppetto.
Combining brutal combat, intricate enemy design, and a rich narrative layered with moral choices (yes, lying is a key mechanic), Lies of P is a perfect addition for fans of challenging action RPGs. Both PS5 and PS4 users can dive into this gothic masterpiece on Sony PlayStation platforms starting August 5.
DayZ – Survive Against All Odds
Originally launching as a PC mod, DayZ has evolved into a brutally unforgiving survival simulator. This Sony PlayStation Plus monthly game drops you into a post-apocalyptic world where 60 players must fend off not only the undead but also each other.
The August release includes the original Chernarus map and the Livonia region, totaling over 160 km² of immersive terrain. With no checkpoints or auto-saves, every decision is permanent—die, and you start over. For those seeking intense realism and unpredictability, DayZ is a welcome challenge.
My Hero One’s Justice 2 – Heroic Anime Action
Anime fans will be pleased to see My Hero One’s Justice 2 joining the PlayStation Plus monthly games lineup. This 3D arena fighter is based on the wildly popular My Hero Academia series and allows players to battle it out using their favorite characters and their powerful Quirks.
Expect flashy moves, destructible environments, and exciting single and multiplayer modes. Whether you’re a casual fan or an MHA superfan, this title brings high-octane, hero-filled fun to your Sony PlayStation library.
Bonus Content: PlayStation Plus 15th Anniversary Avatars
In addition to this stellar lineup, Sony PlayStation is celebrating 15 years of PlayStation Plus by gifting subscribers with a collection of free anniversary avatars. Featuring iconic games like Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, Diablo IV, and God of War Ragnarök, these avatars will be available at no extra cost starting August 5.
Last Call for July’s Titles
Subscribers have until August 4 to download July’s games: Diablo IV, The King of Fighters XV, and Jusant. Once the new lineup drops, these will no longer be accessible for free, so make sure to add them to your library before they’re gone.
Why This Matters for Sony PlayStation Fans
With Sony PlayStation doubling down on value through varied game offerings, PlayStation Plus continues to be a powerhouse subscription in the gaming ecosystem. This month’s diverse mix of genres—soulslike, survival, and anime fighting—underscores Sony’s ongoing commitment to every type of gamer.
Whether you’re exploring dark fairy tales, surviving the apocalypse, or going plus ultra in anime combat, PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for August 2025 deliver excitement across the board.
