PlayStation Plus members receive three to four new games each month as part of their subscription.
In July, the freebies listed were RPG Diablo 4, The King of Fighters 15 and Jusant.
This upcoming month, PS Plus subscribers will be able to claim the following three games, starting August 5:
- DayZ (PS4)
- Lies of P (PS4/PS5)
- My Hero One’s Justice 2 (PS4)
Lies of P, hailed by gamers as the standout hit, is available on both PS4 and PS5.
The 2023 action role-playing game, developed by Neowiz, reimagines The Adventures of Pinocchio – an 1883 children’s fantasy novel by Italian author Carlo Collodi.
The game follows the life of a puppet in a fictional city plagued by an epidemic and a puppet uprising.
Players must fight hostile puppets and disease-stricken citizens using melee weapons and a mechanical arm.
The other two games members can claim are both PS4 titles.
My Hero One’s Justice 2 is a fast-paced 3D arena fighter based on the hit anime My Hero Academia, featuring intense battles where gamers control their heroes and villains with special moves.
DayZ is a survival game where up to 60 players fight to survive in a zombie-infested wasteland.
Gamers on the social media platform Reddit rave about DayZ, with one person even posting: “I picked up DayZ during the first UK lockdown and have frankly not stopped playing since.
“It’s like an extra-marital affair at 34 (I do notice a lot of 1987s in the game).
“I find it odd to be so obsessed with this hot mess of a game but I love it but it’s ruined every single other game for me.”
Another fan wrote: “It’s the intricacy and immersion and the real fear it brings. It’s addicting.”
The new games will come after the month-long celebration of PlayStation Plus’s 15th anniversary wraps up on August 4.
To celebrate the anniversary, gamers also received a special avatar set featuring characters from fan favourites like Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, God of War Ragnarok and Twisted Metal.
The avatars were offered to all PS Plus members across all three tiers of the service: Essential, Extra and Premium.
