Sony has revealed the three games that will be available to subscribers of all PlayStation Plus tiers throughout August, and it’s a fantastic batch of games. Starting August 6, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach, and Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights will be available to redeem.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the latest entry in one of the most iconic series of licensed video games out there. It’s more ambitious than many other Lego games, as it gives players several intricately recreated worlds to explore in addition to playful retellings of all nine films in the mainline Star Wars saga. It’s kid-friendly and fun in co-op, so it’s the PS Plus game to download this August if you’re looking for something to play with your family.

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach is a much spookier game in which players must survive the night and avoid evil animatronics when stuck overnight at Freddy Fazbear’s Mega Pizzaplex. Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights is an atmospheric dark fantasy Metroidvania where players use the souls of cursed knights to fight tough enemies and solve puzzles.

Keep in mind that these games are separate from the PS Plus Premium and Extra additions that often arrive in the middle of the month. Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach, and Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights will be available to redeem for all PS Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium subscribers between August 6 and September 2, and will be accessible indefinitely after that as long as you maintain a PS Plus subscription.

Sony still hasn’t fixed a launch date for the PS6, and that’s telling

The PS6 has been surrounded by rumors pointing toward 2027, but Sony itself still isn't ready to put a date on the calendar. Sony CEO Hiroki Totoki has confirmed that the company still hasn't fixed a launch date for the PlayStation 6, according to the Wall Street Journal. That's particularly interesting because analysts had increasingly expected the next PlayStation to arrive in 2027. Those expectations are now becoming less certain as AI demand drives shortages of key components and pushes up memory costs across the wider gaming and entertainment industry.

I’m not buying the idea that killing PlayStation discs will make games cheaper
A former Square Enix executive thinks going digital could lower prices, but Sony's own storefront gives gamers plenty of reasons to be skeptical.

There is a rather optimistic argument doing the rounds about Sony's decision to kill physical PlayStation game discs: maybe digital games will finally become cheaper. Former Square Enix business development director Jacob Navok argues that removing manufacturing and distribution costs, combined with greater competition between publishers, could push digital prices down and create a Steam-like environment on the PlayStation Store.
