Sony has unveiled the next batch of games being added to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalogue on 16th August. Available to PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers, there’s 11 more games to check out from the PS Plus subscription service on PS4 and PS5.
Amongst the 11 games are the first three games in the Yakuza crime saga – well, the first two game remakes and the prequel – as well as the open world tactical shooter Ghost Recon Wildlands, and the return of Bugsnax, which debuted as a PS Plus monthly game alongside the launch of the PlayStation 5.

What actually is PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium?
The PlayStation Plus relaunch rolled out around the world in June, transforming the PS Plus we once knew into a three tiered subscription service that bundles in and expands what was once PlayStation Now. The classic PS Plus is now called PS Plus Essential, giving access to online multiplayer gaming, cloud save backups, exclusive offers and at least 2 free monthly games. PS Plus Extra then adds a catalogue of PS4 and PS5 games into the mix, while PS Plus Deluxe and Premium (depending on your region) adds older PS2, PS1 and PSP game emulation, and game streaming for PS3 and other titles.
Sony seems to be settling into a rhythm with the PS Plus monthly games for all subscribers rolling out on the first Tuesday of each month, before a library update for the Game Catalogue comes in the middle of the month.
