Each month, Sony updates its PlayStation Plus Extra / Premium line-ups with new and (sometimes) returning games. For the month of August, the console maker is offering a strong selection of notable titles, including the first-party hit Helldivers 2 and the award-winning Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.
Taking to the PlayStation Blog to make their announcement, Sony officially detailed the full line-up of titles set to join PlayStation Plus Extra / Premium over the coming weeks. Beginning a couple months ago, the console maker announced that it would start releasing its PS Plus line-up in the UK and US via a staggered manner.
So, while most of the world will get the full suite of games on the 18th (with one exception), UK subscribers can look forward to the following:
Available now (globally):
- Helldivers 2
18th August:
- Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
- Vampire Survivors
- Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire (PS Plus Premium)
- Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams (PS Plus Premium)
25th August:
- Hell is Us
- Umamusume Pretty Derby – Party Dash
- Two Point Museum
- Metro Exodus
- Dying Light 2
While there is plenty of variety with August’s offerings, some titles in particular do stand out. Helldivers 2 is of course the highly-successful co-op shooter from Arrowhead Game Studios. Released back in 2024, the game has gone on to sell over 20 million copies.
Though sentiment has ebbed and flowed over the years (especially when it comes to hardcore fans), Helldivers 2 remains a fun and unique multiplayer experience. Given that it is published by PlayStation, hopefully the game will remain on the service in perpetuity.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II meanwhile is a highly-regarded CRPG from Warhorse Studios. Released just last year, the game has been lauded for its RPG mechanics; its grounded sense of reality and deliberate gameplay.
All-in-all, August appears to be one of the strongest months for PlayStation Plus Extra in quite some time. Hopefully Sony can keep it up.
