Sony has confirmed the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games lineup for August 2026, and it’s a solid mix for solo players and co-op squads alike. Starting Tuesday, August 4, PS Plus members can claim Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Reloaded Edition, Big Walk, and Signalis. All three titles stay available through Monday, August 31, giving members almost a full month to grab them before they roll off the service.
Here’s a closer look at what each game brings to the table.
Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Reloaded Edition (PS5, PS4)
Dying Light 2 blends brutal parkour combat with open-world survival in a city that’s fallen apart. You play as Aiden Caldwell, a wanderer trying to piece together fragmented memories while navigating a metropolis torn between rival human factions and swarms of the infected.
The virus outbreak isn’t the only threat here. Power struggles between factions shape the story just as much as the undead do, and the choices you make ripple out to change who controls The City. Combat rewards skill and creativity, whether you’re sneaking past danger or cutting through hordes with melee weapons and parkour-based takedowns.
Co-op is a big part of the appeal. Up to four players can team up, either hosting their own session or dropping into a friend’s game to see how differently their choices played out. If you missed Dying Light 2 at launch or want to revisit it with the Reloaded Edition’s improvements, this is a great time to jump in for free with PS Plus.

Big Walk (PS5)
Big Walk takes a different approach entirely. It’s a cooperative adventure built around teamwork and communication rather than combat. You and your friends explore a sprawling open world filled with puzzles and hidden discoveries, but the twist is that you’ll sometimes lose the ability to talk and have to improvise other ways to stay in sync.
Beyond the puzzle-solving, Big Walk leaves plenty of room for just goofing around with friends. Whether that’s pausing to watch a sunset or messing with each other using in-game tools like binoculars, the game leans into the social side of multiplayer as much as the adventure itself.
Signalis (PS4)
Signalis is the moodier pick of the three, a psychological survival horror game with a retro sci-fi aesthetic. You play as Elster, a technician-model android known as a Replika, who wakes up searching for a lost partner and equally lost memories.
Expect a slow-burn atmosphere packed with unsettling secrets, tricky puzzles, and monstrous enemies. Signalis leans hard into cosmic dread and classic survival horror pacing, making it a strong choice for anyone who enjoyed titles like Silent Hill or Resident Evil’s earlier, more atmospheric entries.

MARVEL Tokon: Fighting Souls PS Plus Pack
On top of the three Monthly Games, PS Plus members get another bonus starting August 6. A free MARVEL Tokon: Fighting Souls PlayStation Plus Pack will be available on PlayStation Store, and it comes with two cosmetic bundles:
- Five Avatars based on Captain America, Storm, Spider-Man, Doctor Doom, and Ghost Rider
- Result Screen Character Poses covering 20 characters, including Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel, Star-Lord, and Peni Parker
You’ll find the pack in the PlayStation Plus section of PlayStation Store on PS5, PS4, or the PlayStation Plus website. Once redeemed and downloaded, the Avatars show up in your profile’s Avatar section. The Result Screen Character Poses only work in the PS5 version of MARVEL Tokon: Fighting Souls, and you’ll need both the game and the pack downloaded to use them. This pack is available through August 6, 2027, so there’s no rush to grab it right away.
Note: PS Plus Monthly Games availability can vary by region, so it’s worth checking PlayStation Store on release day to confirm what’s live in your area.
Conclusion
August 2026 gives PS Plus members a genuinely varied lineup. Dying Light 2 delivers high-octane co-op survival action, Big Walk offers a laid-back cooperative adventure built on communication, and Signalis brings a haunting solo horror experience for players who want something quieter and darker. Add in the free MARVEL Tokon cosmetic pack, and it’s a strong month to be subscribed.
