Prepare to level up your PlayStation Plus experience this August! The headliner? None other than Lies of P, the critically acclaimed Soulslike that will plunge you into a dark, Belle Époque-inspired world brimming with nightmarish puppets and pulse-pounding combat. Neowiz and Round8 Studio have crafted a gothic masterpiece of challenging bosses and intricate level design, ready to test your mettle.
But the loot doesn’t stop there! August’s PS Plus drop also includes the unforgiving survival sandbox, DayZ, where every encounter could be your last.

This August, PlayStation Plus is bringing the heat.

And because Sony loves to shower its players with goodies, grab some free avatars inspired by your favorite PlayStation worlds to personalize your profile. Don’t forget to snatch up July’s bounty Diablo IV, The King of Fighters XV, and Jusant before they vanish on August 4th. Prepare for August. Your next adventure awaits!

Lies of P
Forget fairy tales. In the plague-ridden city of Krat, puppets have turned on their masters, and the streets run red with mechanical carnage. You are Pinocchio, a puppet armed to the gears with deadly weaponry, and your strings are cut. Lies of P, a standout soulslike born from the FromSoftware formula, throws you into a nightmarish action-RPG. Prepare to face relentless enemies and bone-jarring boss battles as you carve a path through the puppet uprising. This is no child’s story. This is a fight for survival.
Before Geppetto’s puppet became a legend, there was Overture. This June, plunge into the chilling prelude to Lies of P, an expansion that unveils the mysteries lurking beneath Krat’s glittering surface. And for PlayStation Plus members on PS4 and PS5, the puppet string pulls you in – experience the action-RPG phenomenon firsthand.

DayZ
August’s PS Plus lineup throws you into the brutal, zombie-infested world of DayZ. Forget sunshine and roses; this is a persistent, multiplayer survival nightmare. Originally a gritty Arma 2 mod, DayZ drops up to 60 desperate souls onto a single, sprawling map crawling with the undead. Your mission? Survive. Scavenge for anything you can find – rusty weapons, scraps of food, vital medicine – because in this hostile landscape, every resource is a lifeline. Trust no one.
DayZ plunges you into a brutal survival experience where death means starting over, every step a high-stakes gamble. Master the art of hunting and cooking to stave off starvation, and scavenge for vehicles to conquer the sprawling, unforgiving landscape. Available on PS4, and playable on PS5 via backwards compatibility, DayZ dares you to survive.
My Hero One’s Justice 2
Plus Ultra! August brings electrifying battles to PS Plus as My Hero One’s Justice 2 joins the lineup. Dive into the world of My Hero Academia and unleash your Quirk with a vibrant cast of heroes and villains. This arena fighter sequel amps up the action from the original, released in 2018, delivering a knockout experience exclusively on PS4. Get ready to rumble!
