If you’re a fan of challenging RPGs, intense online survival, or flashy fighting games, this month’s selection has something for everyone.
PS Plus August 2025 Game Lineup
- Lies of P (PS4 & PS5)
- DayZ (PS4)
- My Hero One’s Justice 2 (PS4)
These titles will be available to download and keep as long as you have an active PS Plus subscription.
Important: Don’t forget to claim Diablo IV, Jusant, and The King of Fighters XV from July’s lineup before they leave the service on August 4.
1. Lies of P (PS4 & PS5)
Arguably the biggest highlight of the month, Lies of P is a dark, atmospheric Soulslike action RPG inspired by the classic story of Pinocchio. Developed by South Korean studio Round 8, the game blends challenging combat mechanics with a unique steampunk aesthetic.
Why You Should Play Lies of P
- Deep, customizable combat with dozens of weapon combinations.
- Multiple endings influenced by your choices throughout the story.
- A hauntingly beautiful world full of secrets and tough bosses.
Note: The recently released Overture DLC for Lies of P is not confirmed to be part of the PS Plus edition.
2. DayZ (PS4)
For fans of hardcore survival games, DayZ delivers a tense, open-world experience. Set in a post-apocalyptic landscape, players must scavenge for resources, fight off zombies, and avoid danger from up to 60 other players per server.
What Makes DayZ Stand Out
- Massive open world with dynamic weather and realistic survival mechanics.
- No scripted missions — your survival story is shaped entirely by your choices.
- Cooperative play with friends or risky encounters with strangers.
DayZ has remained popular for years thanks to frequent updates and a dedicated community.
3. My Hero One’s Justice 2 (PS4)
Anime fans can look forward to My Hero One’s Justice 2, a vibrant 3D arena fighter based on the hit My Hero Academia series. Players can choose from a roster of iconic heroes and villains and unleash flashy, over-the-top special moves.
Game Highlights
