Sony has officially confirmed the PS Plus free games for August 2026: Essential tier subscribers will receive three new titles at no extra cost starting August 4. The lineup includes the action-survival game *Dying Light 2 Stay Human*, the co-op adventure *Big Walk*, and the acclaimed horror title *Signalis*. You can add the games to your library through August 31.
PS Plus in August 2026: Here Are the Three Free Games
The lineup covers three genres—from an open-world zombie city to a tranquil puzzle-filled stroll. Here are the titles in detail:
Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Reloaded Edition (PS5, PS4)
The most prominent title of the month. In this post-apocalyptic city, you take on the role of Aiden Caldwell and fight for survival after a virus has turned most of humanity into monsters. In addition to parkour and melee combat, your faction choices determine the city’s fate. If you don’t want to go it alone, play the campaign in co-op with up to four players. The Reloaded Edition bundles numerous updates and improvements the game has received since its release.
Big Walk (PS5)
From Studio House House (known for *Untitled Goose Game*) comes a co-op adventure where communication is more important than combat. You’ll explore a vast open world with friends, solve puzzles together, and constantly have to come up with new ways to stay in touch. In between, there’s plenty of time to simply watch the sunset—or kick your buddy’s binoculars into the ocean.
Signalis (PS4)
A critically acclaimed survival horror game from the German studio Rose-Engine. As Elster, a technician replica, you wake up in a retrofuturistic world and search for your missing partner. Classic resource management, tricky puzzles, and a dark atmosphere are deliberately reminiscent of old Resident Evil and Silent Hill classics.
Bonus: Marvel Tōkon PlayStation Plus Pack
Additionally, starting August 6, a free Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls PlayStation Plus Pack will be available on the PS Store. It includes five avatars featuring Captain America, Storm, Spider-Man, Doctor Doom, and Ghost Rider, as well as post-match poses for 20 fighters. The pack can be redeemed through August 6, 2027.
Availability: When will the games be available?
All three monthly games will be available on the PlayStation Store starting Tuesday, August 4, 2026, and can be claimed through August 31. If you still want to catch up on the July games, you have until August 3 to do so. Please note that the offer may vary by region.
Bottom line: The free PS Plus games for August 2026—Dying Light 2, Big Walk, and Signalis—offer a varied mix, ranging from a major blockbuster to laid-back co-op fun to atmospheric horror. So there’s plenty to play for Essential subscribers.
