Overview & Key Takeaways

PlayStation Plus' free games for August 2026 will be announced on July 29, but we already know one game that will be available for PS5 owners.

PlayStation Plus subscribers will get another batch of "free" games as part of their subscription in August, and we already know what one of them will be: the next title from the developers behind Untitled Goose Game and Push Me Pull You. The rest of Sony's PlayStation Plus Essential free games lineup is expected to be announced on Wednesday, but for now, we can look forward to House House's Big Walk joining the PS Plus offerings in August as a day-one release.

August's PlayStation Plus games will go live on Tuesday, Aug. 4, per Sony's expected schedule.

Here's what PlayStation fans can expect as part of PS Plus in August 2026, so far:

Big Walk

Big Walk is the next game from the studio behind quirky and colorful games Untitled Goose Game and Push Me Pull You. The developers describe Big Walk as a video game "about talking to your friends."

"It is both a big adventure, and a nice place to hang out," according to the game's official website, which describes Big Walk as focusing on teamwork and talking. "Everything you do in the game is designed for cooperative multiplayer."

"Big Walk is a long-form cooperative game," House House and publisher Panic say. "It’s made to be played with the same group over multiple sessions, so it doesn’t make sense to throw strangers together randomly. We think it’s a much better experience to organize and play Big Walk with people you know — or people you want to know better."

Big Walk supports cross-play — it's also coming to Mac, Nintendo Switch 2, and Windows PC.

You can still grab July's free PlayStation Plus Essential games — Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, For the King 2, and CrossCode — through Aug. 3.

PlayStation Plus Essential is the lowest tier of Sony’s subscription game service. It offers online multiplayer access, a monthly assortment of free PS4 and PS5 games, cloud storage, and discounts on PlayStation Store purchases. PlayStation Plus Essential costs $79.99 annually, $27.99 for a three-month subscription, or $10.99 monthly, following a price hike across all tiers of PS Plus in May.

The New Gundam Game Has A Collector’s Edition Just For Gunpla Sickos Like Me

Gundam Rogue Orbit(https://www.gamespot.com/games/gundam-rogue-orbit/) is a break from tradition for Bandai Namco, as new entries in the franchise typically debut as an anime series first, then as a line of collectible model kits. But this Gundam is arriving first as a video game--one that was shown in more detail today during the September PlayStation State of Play broadcast(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstation-state-of-play-september-2026-all-the-biggest-announcements-games-and-trailers/). If you're a Gundam fan, fret not, because at least one part of the traditional Gundam experience is being kept intact if you buy the $160 Rogue Orbit collector's edition. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Gundam-CE.jpg?w=636) Gundam Rogue Orbit Collector's Edition Like other special editions from Bandai Namco, Gundam Rogue Orbit combines a physical copy of the game with a few physical in-game goodies. It's the inclusion of a High-Grade model kit based on the new Gundam Helix mobile suit that could make this collector's edition sought after, as it will be exclusive to the game. Gundam model kits aren't usually hard to come by as Bandai Namco regularly keeps store shelves restocked with them, but the HG Helix model looks like a rare exception to that rule. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiPllyLIvSo If you are planning to grab one, it's worth noting that HG Gundam model kits are 1/144-scale figures and are designed to appeal to casual builders with their moderate detail, minimal foil stickers, and durable design. You won't need too many tools to build one either, and the Helix design features a lot of panels and other mechanical details, so that could be a nice kit to build. The new trailer for the game also teased other shells that you can apply to the Helix to shake up its look, including an RX-78-2 skin and a red Zaku-inspired look that would make Char Aznable proud. Aside from the model, you'll also get a poster, reversible cover art, a pack of five promo cards, a steel case for the game disc, and DLC that includes 14 different color patterns for the Helix in the game. You won't have to wait too much longer to play it, as Gundam Rogue Orbit launches on March 5, 2027, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
