PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium August 2026 Highlights
Sony kicks off August’s PS Plus Extra and Premium catalog with Helldivers 2. Discover what’s new, what’s leaving, and how to make the most of your membership.
Table of Contents
Sony has announced the first game joining the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium catalog for August, and it’s a big one: Helldivers 2.
Helldivers 2 Joins the Catalog
Developer Arrowhead revealed that the popular co-op action game, where players bring Managed Democracy to other planets, is available in the PS Plus Game Catalog starting August 12. The timing is no coincidence; the Helldivers 2 community is aiming to eliminate 500 million enemies by August 18 to unlock four exclusive Helldiver-themed PlayStation avatars. If you’re new, now is the perfect time to jump in.
On the same day, a new expansion for the game launched: Devoid of Liberty. In this content, players descend into the haunted depths of the Void, destroy Illuminate towers and portals, encounter new enemies, and earn fresh ranks along the way.
The Rest of the August Catalog
So far, Sony has only confirmed Helldivers 2. Typically, new games are added to the catalog every few days throughout the month, and the list of classic games exclusive to PlayStation Plus Premium has yet to be revealed. We’ll update this article as more titles are announced.
Games Leaving on August 18
While the catalog gets updated, some games will also be leaving. Nine titles will exit the PS Plus Extra and Premium library on August 18; five of these were originally set to leave in July but had their stay extended. Don’t miss out: if you’ve been curious about games like Dead Island 2, Harold Halibut, or Unicorn Overlord, you have just a few days left to play.
This Month’s Free Games
All PS Plus membership tiers (including Essential) can download these three games for free this month:
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
- For the King 2
- CrossCode
