Three PlayStation Plus Essential games for August 2026 are now live in the UK and Europe, with the US store expected to update later the same day. The lineup includes Big Walk on PS5, plus Dying Light 2 (PS5/PS4) and Signalis (PS4), giving subscribers three titles to claim at no extra cost.

As usual, the games are free to download until 31st August 2026 and will remain in subscribers' libraries permanently once redeemed, provided their PS Plus subscription stays active. Big Walk is notable as a day-one addition to the service and has been critically well received, ranking among the year's highest-rated releases, while Dying Light 2 and Signalis are also praised titles; however, a Push Square poll found 53% of respondents were disappointed with this month's overall selection.
