August 2025 is a milestone month for PlayStation Plus, celebrating its 15th anniversary with exclusive avatars and a lineup of new monthly games available to all subscribers starting August 5[1]. This month’s games include the highly acclaimed Soulslike Lies of P for both PS5 and PS4, the enduring multiplayer survival experience DayZ for PS4, and the anime-inspired brawler My Hero One’s Justice 2 for PS4[1][4][5].

Alongside these titles, members can claim a unique set of 15th Anniversary Avatars themed around fan favorites such as Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, Diablo IV, God of War Ragnarök, and Twisted Metal at no additional cost[1]. If you haven’t already, this is your last chance to add July’s games (Diablo IV, The King of Fighters XV, and Jusant) to your collection before they’re removed from the lineup on August 4[1].

August isn’t just about PlayStation Plus: the month marks a surge of major game releases for PS5. Former Xbox exclusives like Gears of War: Reloaded (arriving August 26) and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 (enhanced for PS5) are among the most anticipated titles, representing a significant broadening of the PlayStation ecosystem[2][3][6]. Other highlights include the debut of Mafia: The Old Country, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater (August 28), and creative indies such as Sword of the Sea (releasing August 19 and launching day one on PS Plus Extra/Premium)[2][3].

Sports fans can look forward to Madden NFL 26, while action game enthusiasts have sequels such as Shinobi: Art of Vengeance on the horizon[2][3]. As 2025 progresses, PlayStation owners can expect even more announcements, from awaited blockbuster sequels to inventive indie titles across all platforms[6].
