Sony is set to reveal the next batch of games coming to the Game Catalog for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium in August, but we already know of one of them: Helldivers 2, which is now available to download.
Developer Arrowhead announced that its hit action game about bringing Managed Democracy to other worlds will be available through the Game Catalog starting August 12. An influx of fresh recruits is perfect timing, as the Helldivers 2 community is being challenged to collectively eliminate 500 million enemies by August 18 to unlock four Helldiver PlayStation avatars. Today also marks the release of a new expansion within the co-op shooter, Devoid of Liberty.
This new content will see players venture into the haunted abyss of the Void to destroy Illuminate spires and gateways, exterminate new threats, and gain new ranks along the way.
As usual, the new titles will be added to the Game Catalog every few days throughout the month for the US, UK, and Japan, starting August 18. All other regions will get the full batch of new games at once on the same day.
Here’s a closer look at everything on the way:
PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium Games for August 2026
Helldivers 2
August 12
Helldivers 2 (PS5)
August 18
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 (PS5)

For the other additions, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is an incredibly deep game and a gripping tale of revenge and discovery. Set in 15th-century Bohemia, the open-world game follows players on their quest to find purpose in a brutal land.
For a change of pace, you can try out Vampire Survivors. Easy to pick up, it's an engaging bullet-heaven auto-shooter--or Survivaton as developer Poncle calls it--where you steadily gain more power and have to use it to take down thousands of enemies.
Other great titles this month include Hell Is Us for an old-school adventure that refuses to hold your hand, find out why your local anime convention has so many cosplayers dressed as high-speed anthropomorphic horses in Umamusume Pretty Derby, and Two Point Museum invites you to juggle bureaucracy with running the coolest historical exhibits in town. Throw in Dying Light 2 and Metro Exodus for some bleak first-person experiences, and you've got a varied selection of games to check out this month.
PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers can also download two classics in the form of Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams--right before the new game in the series launches--and Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire for a thrilling journey beneath the ocean.
As a reminder, nine games will exit PlayStation Plus on August 18. Time is running out, so if you haven't checked out Dead Island 2, Harold Halibut, or Unicorn Overlord yet, you only have a few more days left to do so. You can also grab three games right now through any tier of PlayStation Plus--Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, For the King 2, and CrossCode.
