Sony has revealed the full PS Plus Extra and Premium Game Catalog lineup for August 2026, and it's one of the stronger months in recent memory. Helldivers 2 is already live for U.S. subscribers as of August 12, with the rest of the wave rolling out on August 18 and August 25.
The headliner alongside Helldivers 2 is Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 — the medieval RPG from Warhorse Studios that launched in February 2025 and immediately became a serious Game of the Year contender before Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 swept the awards circuit later that year. KCD2 follows Henry through a war-torn 15th-century Europe and was designed to be accessible whether or not you played the 2018 original. Also joining on August 18 are Vampire Survivors and the classic Capcom action game Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams, plus Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire — both of those last two are PlayStation Premium exclusives. The August 25 wave brings Hell is Us, Two Point Museum, Metro Exodus, Dying Light 2, and Umamusume Pretty Derby – Party Dash.
PS Plus Extra and Premium are Sony's mid- and top-tier subscription plans, sitting above the base Essential tier and functioning as PlayStation's equivalent to Xbox Game Pass. The catalog gives subscribers access to hundreds of PS4 and PS5 titles to download and play as long as their subscription is active. Helldivers 2 landing here is notable — Arrowhead's co-op shooter was one of the biggest games of 2024 and has maintained a steady player base through ongoing updates.
August's Essential tier games, available to all PS Plus subscribers, also include Big Walk, another 2026 GOTY conversation piece. Between the Essential and Catalog additions, August is shaping up as one of the more stacked PS Plus months of the year.
