PS Plus Is Loaded With Great Games for August, Including Helldivers 2, Hell Is Us, Kingdom Come 2

August 2026 has brought a bounty of great games for PlayStation Plus subscribers. Firstly, Helldivers 2, a multiplayer game from Arrowhead Game Studios, is now available for Extra and Premium subscribers. The game features up to four players working together to protect Super Earth from alien and robotic threats while making use of powerful weapons and calling in airstrikes.

Next, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 transports players back to 15th-century Bohemia, where they assume the role of Henry, caught in a war between rival nobles. This RPG demonstrates an emphasis on realism, with sword fights, political intrigue, and challenging situations for Henry.

Vampire Survivors is a game that appears straightforward but is deceptively addictive. Players control a character who automatically attacks enemies while moving around the map. The game becomes increasingly chaotic as hundreds of enemies swarm the character, providing a thrilling experience for those who enjoy combat.

Hell Is Us is a game set in the war-torn country of Hadea, where supernatural disasters have created unique creatures. The protagonist, Rémi, returns to his homeland to uncover his past, with combat involving melee weapons and a drone companion. The game's emphasis on exploration and environment interaction makes it a standout addition to the PS Plus library.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Party Dash offers a unique gaming experience, featuring a mix of horse racing and party games starring the series' horse girls. The pixel-art presentation complements the game's silly tone, making it an entertaining choice for PS Plus subscribers.

Finally, Two Point Museum introduces a light-hearted take on the museum management genre. Players build and manage art collections, sending experts on expeditions to acquire rare artifacts. The game's humorous approach to museum management is sure to appeal to PS Plus subscribers looking for a fun and engaging gaming experience.
