PlayStation Plus Announces August 2025 Free Games: Lies of P, DayZ, and My Hero One’s Justice 2
Sony has announced the PlayStation Plus lineup for August 2025, which will be accessible to all tiers, Essential, Extra, and Premium, starting August 5. This month’s selection features the highly acclaimed soulslike action-RPG Lies of P, the intense survival experience DayZ, and the fast-paced anime-inspired 3D arena fighter My Hero One’s Justice 2.
Included Games
Lies of P (PS5 & PS4): A dark reimagining of The Adventures of Pinocchio, this 2023 release merges gothic visuals with brutal, strategic combat. It stands as the standout game of the month and PS5’s only native release on the list.
DayZ (PS4): A multiplayer zombie survival game known for its immersive and unforgiving gameplay—players face dangers from both the undead and survival mechanics.
My Hero One’s Justice 2 (PS4): Based on My Hero Academia, this arena fighter delivers fast-paced, character-driven battles using heroic “Quirks.
Availability & Access
All three games will be claimable from August 5 through September 1, and once added, remain playable as long as your PS Plus subscription is active. Be sure to add July’s games—Diablo IV, The King of Fighters XV, and Jusant, before August 4.
Anniversary Perks
August’s rollout coincides with PlayStation Plus’s 15th anniversary. To celebrate, Sony is also offering subscribers exclusive anniversary avatars—featuring characters from Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, God of War Ragnarök, Twisted Metal, and more.
Why It Stands Out
Lies of P is the critical highlight: praised for revitalizing the soulslike genre with distinct storytelling and characters.
DayZ caters to fans of long-term, emergent survival experiences.
My Hero One’s Justice 2 brings high-octane, anime-flavored combat to the lineup.
