Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced the August 2024 Monthly Games lineup for PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers. All titles will be available from August 6 to September 2.

The full list of Monthly Games is as follows:

• ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights (PS4) – Unravel the mysteries of a destroyed kingdom in this dark fantasy 2D action RPG. Journey through the sprawling and hauntingly beautiful Land’s End, traversing a submerged forest, a sealed-off contaminated underground cavern, and a grand castle. Formidable bosses await that will gladly claim your life given even the slightest chance. Defeat these powerful foes and release them from their unending curse to recruit them as allies. Overcome the challenges before you and search for the truth with powerful knights at your side.
• Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach (PS5, PS4) – Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach is the latest installment of the family-friendly horror games from Steel Wool Games. Play as Gregory, a young boy trapped overnight in Freddy Fazbear’s Mega Pizzaplex. With the help of Freddy Fazbear himself, Gregory must survive the near-unstoppable hunt of reimagined Five Nights at Freddy’s characters—as well as new, horrific threats.
• LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (PS5, PS4) – Play through all nine Star Wars saga films in a brand-new LEGO video game unlike any other. Experience fun-filled adventures, whimsical humor, and the freedom to fully immerse yourself in the LEGO Star Wars galaxy. Want to play as a Jedi? A Sith? Rebel, bounty hunter, or droid? LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga features hundreds of playable characters from throughout the galaxy. Whether on land or in space, a variety of vehicles are yours to command. Jump to lightspeed in the Millennium Falcon, fly the T-47 Airspeeder and battle TIE fighters in Resistance X-wings… it’s the ultimate LEGO Star Wars experience

Let’s if my boy will like it more than LEGO Harry Potter.

 

[Bryank75]

Have the two main games, so literally nothing for me.

 

[Gods&Monsters]

Ender Lillies was on my wishlist for years but I never bought it because I knew it was coming to PS+ one day

Lego Star Wars is kind of recent and it was never on deep sale? Kinda surprising to get it so early. Good deal!

 

[AllBizness]

Nothing for me. The industry just hasn't produced many good AAA 3rd party games this gen, this in turn has an effect on subscription services.

 

[Ico]

nice, always wanted to try this lego star wars, since i played a lot of the two older ones on the ps2

 

[ethomaz]

After play a bit with my son.

LEGO Star Wars is graphically and mechanically better than LEGO Harry Potter.

That makes me more exited for LEGO Horizon as it is the same developer.

 

[Nym]

Yawn. I begrudgingly paid my online tax this year to keep playing SF6 but I am quite sure this will be the last year I pay into this trash

Well, buy a Season pass with all additional characters . It is often on discount.

 

[Vertigo]

Added zero to catalog this month…

I cancelled my sub when they increased the price last year, and it just made me realize how useless and terrible "value" it was. I don't miss it at all. It's cheaper to just rebuy the few games you play online for PC than to pay this scam tax every year.

Is this legit? I'd be furious if so

Extra/Premium catalogue are announced often later than the Essentials titles.

Might try Ender Lilies good reviews and gives Vanillaware vibes.

I'd expect the updated extra/premium to be announced tomorrow and available around the 19th or 20th of this month. It's usually the case. I'd be very shocked to see no update in any month.

Well yeah it's too early in the month.

 

[Vertigo]

Well yeah it's too early in the month.

For plus you’re saying, which comes later… but this is the essential offering; probably the weakest I’ve seen it all year and heavily skewed to just children.

 

[ethomaz]

Nope.

Plus Essential receive games at begin of the month.
Plus Extra/Premium/Deluxe receive games at middle of the month.

I doubt… it is pretty great this time.
LEGO Starwars is legit.
And Ender Likies is great.

Lego Skywalker saga is great Lego game. Testament to the movie saga in a humorous way. And Ender Lilies is one of the best metroidvania game in last few years. I dunno what's wrong with these two games . Calling it skewed towards children. Then he probaby don't like Hollow Knight
