PlayStation Plus Free Games August 2025: Predictions, Rumors & What Might Be Coming Next
As August 2025 approaches, gamers are gearing up for a fresh batch of PlayStation Plus free games—and the rumor mill is working overtime, along with everyone posting their Wishlist.
July’s lineup included a strong trio of hits: a fighting game (King of Fighters XV), a top-tier action RPG (Diablo IV), and an offbeat indie gem (Jusant). And with the August 5th rollout on the horizon, players are racing to download July’s offerings before they vanish, so if you haven't already done so grab them ASAP.
Sony is expected to reveal the August PS Plus free games lineup on Wednesday, July 30, with the games going live the following Tuesday. While no leaks have surfaced (yet), speculation is high—and some fan-favorite franchises are being thrown into the prediction pile.
🔍 August 2025 PS Plus Predictions:
- 🎮 Resident Evil 4 Remake
Released in 2023 to massive acclaim, RE4 is prime PS Plus material. Fans have been waiting—and this could be the month. - 🌌 Elden Ring (Wishful Thinking Column)
FromSoftware’s mega-hit could be Sony’s mic-drop moment, especially with the multiplayer spinoff Nightreign fresh in the wild. - 🚀 Star Wars Outlaws
Ubisoft’s open-world adventure didn’t break the galaxy, but it’s got the makings of a PS Plus crowd-pleaser. - 📦 Death Stranding
With a sequel already out, Kojima’s divisive masterpiece feels like a perfect throwback pick for August.
- 🎾 Topspin 2K25
A sports pick makes sense—especially during back-to-school season. Tennis anyone? - 🥋 Street Fighter 6
Still hot from its 2023 release, though we did get a fighter last month. Never count out Capcom. - 🧠 Cocoon
This indie puzzler from the Limbo/Inside dev has been on PS Plus wishlists for a while. Quirky, smart, and visually stunning.
- 🧙 Trine 5
Gorgeous co-op fantasy platformer with nostalgic vibes. Perfect family pick. Don’t sleep on this one.

MainEvent.News | Backstage Take:
No leaks, no problem. This month’s PS Plus rumors have one thing in common—players are dreaming big. With Death Stranding’s sequel out, and Elden Ring’s name back in headlines, Sony could score huge wins by making smart, nostalgic drops. Even if we don’t get a mega-title like Elden Ring, a strong blend of action, indie, and legacy games would go a long way to keep the PS Plus hype rolling into fall.
