PlayStation Plus Game Catalog Updates [August 2025]

Sure, here’s a version that should feel like it’s been scribbled down by an enthusiastic gamer with a penchant for rambling thoughts.

—

So, here’s the deal (or scoop, maybe?): Sony decided to hit us with another batch of games for PlayStation Plus. And yeah, there’s this whole list, but honestly, Mortal Kombat 1 and Marvel’s Spider-Man kinda steal the spotlight. Forget about marking calendars — available on August 19, just like that.

Oh, but don’t forget, these goodies are only for the fancy Extra or Premium tiers. Sigh, more exclusivity.

Now, Mortal Kombat 1 — it’s like, even if the updates are tapering off, there’re still a bunch of gory moves to keep your adrenaline going. It’s legendary, right? Fatality galore!

Then there’s Marvel’s Spider-Man. If you’re lucky enough to be on a PS5, you’d get the Remastered version. But if not, PS4 folks, no worries — Game of the Year edition coming your way. Swinging through the city, webs and all. Pretty cool if you ask me.

And speaking of cool, Sword of the Sea just plunges you into this artsy adventure, and no shocker here since it’s from the same brain behind Journey and ABZU. Ever play those? Feels poetic, like floating in a visual poem or something.

Alien invasions anyone? Earth Defense Force 6 throws you into the chaos, smashing those aliens solo or with pals. Who doesn’t love a good extraterrestrial smackdown?

Unicorn Overlord — seriously, what a name, right? Feel like you’re tossing dice in a tactical RPG world, battling your way to glory. Atlus and Vanillaware did their magic again.

Atelier Ryza 3, on the other hand, is like you’re stepping into this alchemist’s boots, wandering the Kark Isles, trying to save all you hold dear. Classic hero stuff, plain and simple.

Now, Indika, for those story-thirsty folks, it’s about a young nun. Sounds serious, but hey, who knew one could bump into the devil and still call it a day?

Then, there’s claymation love with Harold Halibut. Long time in the making, set on a sunken alien ship — feels like a bizarre mix of art and friendship. Clay never felt so alive!

Escape the city life with Coral Island. Farming, friends, and a break from urban chaos. Stardew Valley vibes? Totally. Not much more to say there.

Oh, right, Premium only extras! Resident Evil 2 and 3: Nemesis. More zombies, more thrills, and a whole lot of action with Leon and Jill. Those tiny upgrades and save features are the cherries on top. Or the zombies, should I say?

Anyway, that’s the mess of it. Fascinating line-up, chaotic thoughts — makes sense, right?
