All PS Plus Subscribers Can Play Lies of P and Other Games All August Long
PlayStation Plus is Sony's version of Xbox Game Pass, and it offers subscribers a large, constantly expanding library of games. Subscribers can choose from the Essential, Extra and Premium tiers, which each have unique perks and benefits. The plans start at $10 a month, and each tier gives subscribers access to monthly games and rewards.
Here are the games all PS Plus subscribers can play throughout August. You can also check out the games Sony added to the PS Plus Game Catalog in July, including Cyberpunk 2077.
Lies of P
This is a macabre soulslike game akin to Bloodborne and based on Carlo Collodi's classic tale, The Adventures of Pinocchio. Puppets have torn the city of Krat apart, and you play as Pinocchio as he searches for Geppetto in the grisly, oil-stained city. You'll encounter traps, twisted contraptions and maniacal humans in your search throughout the city, and maybe you'll find what it means to be human along the way.
DayZ
Sony
Can you survive the zombie apocalypse? DayZ places you and dozens of other players into a dense 163 square-kilometer (about 63 square-mile) map filled with zombies and materials you'll need to last. And with no checkpoints or saves, you'll need to work together; otherwise, you'll have to start all over.
My Hero One's Justice 2
This over-the-top fighting game is the sequel to the arena fighting game My Hero One's Justice. In this game, you can fight as -- or against -- many of the characters from the popular anime series My Hero Academia, including All Might, Endeavor and Fat Gum. You'll use your characters' Quirks -- or unique powers -- to overcome your opponent's abilities and win these epic clashes.
For more on PlayStation Plus, here's what to know about the service and a rundown of PS Plus Extra and Premium games added in July. You can also check out the latest and upcoming games on Xbox Game Pass and Apple Arcade.

One of my favorite PS5 games of all time is free on PlayStation Plus — and Bloodborne fans need to play it right now
PlayStation Plus has offered PS5 and PS4 gamers some pretty fantastic 'free' games in the past, but when I saw the monthly lineup for August 2025 on the PlayStation Blog, I instantly knew it ranked among the best trio of monthly games the service has ever offered subscribers. While Day Z and My Hero One's Justice 2 aren't exactly the most desirable titles around (No offence to the passionate My Hero Academia fanbase), the headliner is an incredible Soulslike that I genuinely haven't stopped talking about for almost two years since I first played it. Of course, I'm talking about Lies of P, the 2013 action game from developers Neowiz and Round8 Studios. This tricky game that takes clear inspiration from Dark Souls creators FromSoftware, most obviously 2015's acclaimed Bloodborne, is available to all PlayStation Plus members at any tier level. And I'm telling you right now, you need to play it ASAP. Lies of P: was $59, now FREE (w/ PlayStation Plus) @ PlayStation StoreInspired by games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne, Lies of P is a new entry in the Soulslike genre that challenges players to explore its nightmarish world and vanquish horrifying enemies. Master fast-paced combat and craft your perfect loadout, as you delve deeper into the sinister city of Krat as a powerful puppet come to life. Just don't expect to overcome the game's many brutal bosses without a few defeats along the way. I've praised this game so often, it's become something of a meme among my friends, with me liable to drop Lies of P into the conversation at any chance I possibly can get. Plus, even better, there genuinely hasn't been a better time to dive into Lies of P than right now. Lies of P is part of the Soulslike genre, which essentially is a shorthand for saying it cribs the formula perfected by Dark Souls developer FromSoftware. Though, as noted, Lies of P takes more cues from the Japanese studio's 2015 title Bloodborne, packing fast-paced combat that demands player aggression, and a sinister gothic world to explore. Inspired by the classic stories of Pinocchio, you play the eponymous P, a puppet come to life, who must venture out in the corrupt city of Krat to find their father, Geppetto. The story is intriguing, but it is mostly presented in optional conversations and collectible files rather than cutscenes. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The star of Lies of P is the meticulously crafted combat and the punishing, but highly rewarding level of challenge. Like all Soulslike, Lies of P asks a lot of its players, with fearsome bosses likely to cut you down numerous times before you vanquish them. But each hard-fought victory is satisfying, and it plays so well you'll feel compelled to carry on. Now is also a fantastic time to be diving into Lies of P. Earlier this summer, the Overture expansion was released, and while it's an additional $29 downloaded, it adds 12-15 hours of new content to the game, and if you enjoy the base experience, trust me, you'll want to play Overture as it packs some grand story reveals and some of the game's best bosses. Alongside Overture, a free game update launched, which adds a new Boss Rush mode, letting you refight the game's hardest encounters (and even make them significantly tougher), as well as adding difficulty settings, which can reduce the challenge if you hit a brick wall. Lies of P really is a fantastic game, and was my pick for GOTY in 2023, which is no small praise considering that particular year saw numerous heavy-hitters like Marvel's Spider-Man 2, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Baldur's Gate 3. While I enjoyed and even loved all those games, Lies of P rose above them all. I'm thrilled that, thanks to PlayStation Plus, even more players are about to dive into the twisted city of Krat and see exactly why I rank this experience as one of the PS5's very best games.
