PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for August 2026 have been officially revealed by Sony, bringing a diverse lineup that spans zombie parkour action, cooperative puzzle adventure, and psychological survival horror. Starting August 4, PlayStation Plus subscribers can claim Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Reloaded Edition, Big Walk, and Signalis at no additional cost. The announcement was made on July 28 by Adam Michel, Director of Content Acquisition & Operations at Sony Interactive Entertainment, via the official PlayStation Blog.

Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Reloaded Edition

The headliner of this month’s lineup is Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Reloaded Edition, available on both PS5 and PS4. Developed by Techland, this action-packed survival horror game plunges players into a post-apocalyptic cityscape overrun by infected monsters. You play as Aiden Caldwell, a wanderer with extraordinary parkour abilities, navigating rival factions, making life-altering choices, and uncovering dark secrets that will determine the fate of The City.

The Reloaded Edition includes all major updates and improvements made since the game’s original launch, offering the definitive experience for newcomers. Players can also team up with up to three friends in seamless co-op, exploring how different choices have shaped each other’s worlds. With its fluid movement system, brutal melee combat, and a sprawling open world, Dying Light 2 remains one of the most robust action-adventure titles on PlayStation.

Big Walk

Big Walk is a charming cooperative multiplayer adventure and a day-one title on PS Plus for August. Developed by House House, the creators of the critically acclaimed Untitled Goose Game, Big Walk invites you and your friends to explore a wide-open world filled with challenges, puzzles, and discoveries. The core mechanic revolves around teamwork and communication — you’ll need to stay in contact using an assortment of tools and toys, and find new ways to communicate when you suddenly find yourself speechless.

Beyond the puzzles and objectives, Big Walk excels at creating moments of simple joy. Sit and watch the sunset together, steal your friend’s binoculars and kick them into the ocean, or just enjoy the company of good friends in a beautiful world. It’s a refreshing contrast to the high-octane action of Dying Light 2, offering something for everyone in the PS Plus lineup this month.

Signalis

Rounding out the August lineup is Signalis, a critically acclaimed psychological survival horror game developed by rose-engine. Available on PS4, Signalis draws heavy inspiration from the classic survival horror era, blending retro-futuristic aesthetics with tense, methodical gameplay. You awaken as Elster, a technician Replika searching for her lost partner and her lost dreams in a surreal world of cosmic dread.

The game features challenging puzzles, limited resources, and nightmarish creatures that demand careful planning rather than brute force. Its haunting atmosphere, melancholic storytelling, and pixel-art aesthetic have earned it a dedicated following since its original release. For fans of classic Resident Evil and Silent Hill, Signalis is an absolute must-play — widely regarded as one of the best modern survival horror games.

MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls PlayStation Plus Pack

In addition to the three monthly games, Sony is offering a special MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls PlayStation Plus Pack starting August 6. This bonus pack includes five exclusive avatars featuring Captain America, Storm, Spider-Man, Doctor Doom, and Ghost Rider, plus a set of in-game Result Screen Character Poses for 20 characters including Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel, Star-Lord, Peni Parker, and more.

The pack will be available in the PlayStation Plus section of the PlayStation Store on PS5 and PS4 consoles, and all PS Plus members can redeem it. Unlike the monthly games, the Marvel pack will remain available until August 6, 2027, giving players plenty of time to claim it.
