August 2025 marks a major milestone for PlayStation Plus. As the service celebrates its 15th anniversary, it’s rolling out a massive Game Catalog update on August 19. From blockbuster action to indie charm, this lineup caters to every kind of gamer.
Blockbusters Lead the Charge
Two heavy-hitters take center stage. Mortal Kombat 1 (PS5) enters the catalog, offering brutal battles and next-gen visuals. Marvel’s Spider-Man (PS5/PS4) swings back into action after a previous removal, giving players another chance to experience the web-slinging adventure that redefined superhero games.
Day-One Surprise
Launching directly into the catalog for Extra and Premium members, Sword of the Sea (PS5) makes its debut on August 19. This atmospheric adventure blends fluid movement with striking visuals, inviting players to surf vast landscapes in search of hidden stories.
Co-Op Action for Squad Play
If you prefer fighting alongside friends, Earth Defense Force 6 (PS5/PS4) brings four-player co-op and massive alien battles. Its chaotic energy and larger-than-life enemies promise hours of team-based excitement.
RPGs and Indies for Every Taste
This update doesn’t stop at blockbusters. Strategy fans can dive into Unicorn Overlord, while JRPG lovers will enjoy Atelier Ryza 3. Narrative-driven titles like Indika and Harold Halibut add emotional depth, while Coral Island offers a relaxing life-sim escape.
Classic PlayStation Nostalgia
Premium members are in for a bonus, gaining access to the classic Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. These editions come enhanced with features like sharper visuals, rewind, quick save, and customizable video filters — a perfect blend of retro charm and modern comfort.
Exclusive Trial for Death Stranding 2
