Lies of P headlines August’s PlayStation Plus Essential line-up

Each month, Sony offers 3 games for ‘free’ to all those with a PlayStation Plus subscription – titles which will remain in your library as long as you are subscribed to the service. For the month of August, Sony is offering the highly-praised souls-like Lies of P – alongside a couple other welcome inclusions.

Taking to the PlayStation Blog to make the announcement, Adam Michel, the director of game services and content at SIE, wrote: “Battle macabre puppets in a twisted soulslike take on well-known children’s tale, use your wits to survive sprawling maps filled with threats and relive an iconic anime first-hand with the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games lineup for August”

Available to add to your library from the 5th of August, next month’s PS Plus titles are as follows:

• Lies of P (PS5 | PS4)
• Day Z (PS4)
• My Hero One’s Justice 2 (PS4)

Of course, the main headliner for August is Lies of P – the FromSoftware-esque souls-like developed by NEOWIZ which released back in 2023 to a ton of praise.

In case you missed it back when it first launched, Lies of P has received plenty of post-launch support; most recently adding new difficulty options for increased accessibility.

In addition, though not available as part of PS Plus, the team released Lies of P: Overture just last month – to equal success.

Alongside the monthly games, Sony also confirmed that a set of new PlayStation avatars will be released as part of PlayStation Plus’ ongoing 15th anniversary celebrations; also available from the 5th of August.
