Which games could come in August? Just before the official announcement, there are again plenty of rumors about which games could be free for PS Plus Essential. We took a look at which games could be available for Essential subscribers for free in August. However, keep in mind that these are just rumors that Sony has not officially confirmed.
Aliens: Fireteam Elite
Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a third-person shooter that was released on August 24, 2021. In this survival shooter, you slay your way through an unknown planet with friends or AI and shoot thousands of aliens.
The shooter Aliens: Fireteam Elite is getting a major expansion called “Pathogen” in August 2022. And this is not the first time that add-ons or games have been released alongside PS Plus.
A “Call of Duty” game
About once a year, you find a “Call of Duty” game in PS Plus that you can play for free. One option could be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019). Because the sequel is expected to be released on October 28, 2022.
All information about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 can be found right here on MeinMMO if you want to know more about the new CoD.

NBA 2K
NBA 2K is an annually released basketball simulation centered around the North American professional basketball league NBA. You can create teams and players and compete against other people.
In PS Plus July 2021, Sony had made NBA 2K20 available for free to subscribers. So it wouldn’t be unlikely if the successor would be available for free in PS Plus in August 2022.
Hot Wheels Unleashed – PS5, PS4
Hot Wheels Unleashed is a racing game that was released on September 30, 2021. You race through a colorful toy world and can unleash your creativity with a track editor to create new tracks.
The game itself has received many good reviews but has been criticized for its monetization. After about a year post-release, many believe that the racing game could receive a significant player boost through PS Plus.
What does PS Plus bring? The subscription is important if you want to use multiplayer on your PlayStation. Because only a few games open the online mode without PS Plus.
In addition, you regularly receive cosmetics or in-game currencies from various games for free and have extra discounts on some games. Make sure to check the PS Store regularly and visit the PS Plus section, so you don’t miss bonuses for games you find interesting.
Additionally, save data can be moved to the PS cloud, and there are monthly games included in the subscription. However, you can only use them if you are currently a member of PS Plus.
In June, the subscription changes, and from a single offer, it will become 3 offers, each providing different services. For an overview, check here:
