Get ready to lace up your gaming boots, folks! PlayStation Plus is about to kick off August 2026 with a bang, and we've got the lowdown on what's in store. The cooperative multiplayer extravaganza 'Big Walk' has been confirmed as a day-one release for Extra and Premium subscribers, and it's set to drop on August 4, 2026 - just the ticket to get your gaming juices flowing.
This game is all about teamwork, communication, and working together in an epic open world. You'll be navigating challenges, solving puzzles, and uncovering secrets with your mates by your side, using all sorts of nifty tools to stay connected and even adapt when things get hairy. And it's not just about the main quest - you can also chill out, take in the scenery, or engage in some light-hearted fun with your gaming buddies.
While 'Big Walk' is the big name confirmed so far, we're still waiting on the full reveal of games for the Essential tier, which will drop on July 29, 2026. These titles will join the fray alongside 'Big Walk' on August 4, and then things get even more exciting with further announcements for Extra and Premium subscribers on August 12, 2026 - we can't wait to see what other treats are in store!
Of course, not everything is coming back - some games will be bidding farewell to the PS Plus service. 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III', 'For The King II', and 'CrossCode' are all set to depart the Essential tier in August 2026, making way for new content and encouraging you to give those current titles a spin before they're gone.
This update marks another turning point in the PS Plus saga, which has seen its fair share of ups and downs over the past year. The inclusion of 'Big Walk' as a day-one release for Extra and Premium members could be a masterstroke - we'll have to see how it plays out!
