Playstation Plus Offers “Lies of P”, Day Z, and More in August

PlayStation Plus Aug Lineup: Lies of P, DayZ, My Hero One’s Justice 2 – Free for Subscribers

Sony has revealed August’s compelling lineup of free games for PlayStation Plus subscribers. Headlining this month’s offerings is Lies of P, a highly acclaimed title often compared to FromSoftware’s Souls-like games. With the recent release of its first and only DLC, this addition presents a timely opportunity for producer Neowiz to boost expansion sales. Also joining the collection is DayZ, an immersive survival game set in a challenging post-apocalyptic zombie world. This PlayStation 4 title is fully playable on PlayStation 5 through backward compatibility. Rounding out the selection is My Hero One’s Justice 2, the dynamic and over-the-top sequel to the 3D arena fighting game, which is also available on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Before accessing these new titles, be sure to claim June’s free games—Diablo IV, The King of Fighters XV, and Jusant—for your library. These titles will no longer be available after August 4.
