New Additions to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog [August 2025]

Sure thing, let’s dive into this. You know, I was just thinking, August 19 is creeping up on us like a cat hunting a laser pointer. Anyway, PlayStation’s mixing things up with their Premium tiers—another one of those exclusive club things, I suppose.

So, kicking things off, oh boy, Mortal Kombat 1. It’s like that old pair of sneakers you just can’t toss, no matter how many holes they have. Still got those iconic over-the-top finishes, so it’s a keeper.

And then you’ve got Marvel’s Spider-Man. PS5’s getting all fancy with a Remastered version. I mean, for PS4 folks, the Game of the Year edition isn’t too shabby either. Swinging through NYC all over again… kinda feels like deja vu, doesn’t it? Maybe that’s just me.

Sword of the Sea’s up next. Bit of a poetic vibe here, right? Apparently, it’s by the same artist who did Journey and ABZU. Those are like gaming lullabies, so I’m guessing this one will be super chill too.

Then we have Earth Defense Force 6. Just imagining the noise of blasting aliens… there’s something both thrilling and ridiculous about it—like watching an epic B-movie while your popcorn spills everywhere.

Unicorn Overlord is from Atlus and Vanillaware. Sounds more chaotic than the title suggests. Tactical RPGs always remind me of giant chess matches, if chess pieces had swords and magic. Not sure why, but that’s where my brain goes.

Now, Atelier Ryza 3. Ah, Ryza—braving Kark Isles to save a hometown—has that whole epic journey feel. Sort of gives you a warm fuzzy, you know? Kind of like revisiting childhood stories.

Indika is next. A story-driven game about a young nun—yep, a nun—on a soul-searching adventure. The devil makes an appearance too. Sounds spicy, right? I’m curious how that unfolds.

Then we’ve got Harold Halibut. A claymation story. Seriously, who doesn’t love claymation? It’s like stop-motion’s cooler cousin. Harold’s just trying to find his way after crashing into some alien ocean. Sounds like life, if life was a movie.

And Coral Island. It’s got that Stardew Valley charm, escaping city life to play farmer. Plant some veggies, chase some chickens, chat with quirky neighbors—it’s got everything short of offering lifestyle tips.

Finally, we can’t forget Resident Evil 2 and 3. Claire Redfield and Jill Valentine bringing their A-game to Raccoon City’s eerie streets. Includes perks like up-rendering, which sounds techy and cool. Perfect for zoning out on a late-night gaming binge.

Anyway—err, wait, back to the main point! August 19, mark it, circle it, doodle little stars next to it—because these games are rolling out and, honestly, it’s one heck of a lineup.
