Sony Interactive Entertainment has made the PlayStation Plus monthly games for August 2026 available. According to the official PlayStation Blog announcement, Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Reloaded Edition, Big Walk and Signalis can be added to members’ libraries from Tuesday, August 4 through Monday, August 31. These are not standard store discounts; they are monthly games included with an active PlayStation Plus membership.
PlayStation Plus monthly games for August 2026
The August lineup covers three different styles of game. Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Reloaded Edition is an open-world action title available on PS4 and PS5. Big Walk launched on August 4, 2026 and focuses on communication and exploration with friends. Signalis is a single-player psychological survival-horror game with a science-fiction setting, available on PS4 and PS5.
Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Reloaded Edition
Developed by Techland, Dying Light 2 Stay Human is listed on PlayStation’s official product page for PS4 and PS5. It can be played as a single-player game and also supports online co-op for up to four players with PlayStation Plus. Sony’s August monthly games announcement specifically names Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Reloaded Edition as the version included in the lineup.
The official store page also identifies a PS5 version and the game’s online features. Sony’s monthly games post confirms that members can claim the title between August 4 and August 31. Availability may vary by region, so users should confirm the exact listing in their local PlayStation Store.
Big Walk joins the lineup on launch day
Developed by House House and published by Panic, Big Walk launched for PS5 on August 4, 2026. PlayStation’s official page describes it as an online cooperative adventure for groups ranging from two to 12 players. Proximity-based voice chat, exploration, puzzles and communication through different tools are among its main features.
Big Walk requires online play and a PlayStation Plus membership. The product page also confirms cross-platform play and says the adventure is designed to be completed from beginning to end with a group of friends. Its inclusion on the same day as release makes it the newest game in the August lineup.
Signalis is available on PS4 and PS5
Signalis, developed by rose-engine and originally released in 2022, is a single-player science-fiction psychological survival-horror game. PlayStation’s official page lists the title for both PS4 and PS5. It combines exploration, resource management and puzzle solving in a retro-technology-inspired setting.
Adding Signalis gives the August selection a shorter, single-player option alongside the larger cooperative and open-world titles. Sony’s announcement confirms that it follows the same claim period as the other two games.
Monthly games are different from store discounts
PlayStation Plus monthly games work differently from ordinary store promotions. A store discount lowers the purchase price for a limited period, while monthly games are added as a membership benefit. Calling them completely free would therefore be inaccurate because access depends on an active PlayStation Plus subscription. Members also need to add each title to their library before the monthly claim window closes.
How long are the games available?
All three games are available to PlayStation Plus members from August 4 until August 31, 2026. Members need to add the games to their accounts during the stated period. Sony notes that monthly game lineups may differ by region, so users in Türkiye and other markets should check their local PlayStation Store for final availability and edition details.
For this report, the dates, supported platforms and online requirements were cross-checked against PlayStation Blog and the official PlayStation product pages. No unverified pricing, bonus-content or release claims have been included.
