New Additions to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog [August 2025]

Sure thing, let’s dive into this new batch of games dropping in the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog. I mean, who doesn’t love new games, right? So picture this: you’re sitting there on August 19 (mark your calendars, folks), and boom! Mortal Kombat 1, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Unicorn Overlord — trust me, the list goes on.

Okay, quick heads up though — these goodies are only for the Extra and Premium tiers. Kinda feels like being in an exclusive club, eh?

Mortal Kombat 1

Right off the bat, Mortal Kombat 1’s got that intense vibe going. Even if it’s tapering off in new stuff, there’s still loads to tackle. Oddly satisfying, those gory fatalities. Who came up with that, anyway?

Marvel’s Spider-Man

Switching gears to Marvel’s Spider-Man, where PS5 folks get the Remastered vibe, and PS4 players snag the Game of the Year edition. It’s kinda like a choose-your-own-adventure but with more web-slinging.

Sword of the Sea

Oh, and there’s Sword of the Sea from Giant Squid, which hits on day one. And the vibe? Imagine if Journey, ABZU, and The Pathless had a wild night out and decided to create a game. I might be getting carried away, but yeah.

Earth Defense Force 6

Then you have Earth Defense Force 6. Ever fancied saving the world from aliens with a couple of friends? Being that soldier on the brink is pretty intense stuff. Maybe I should add that to my résumé?

Unicorn Overlord

Now, Unicorn Overlord’s got that tactical-RPG thing going, thanks to Atlus and Vanillaware. Think quirky crew, epic quests. Feels like a lively tavern in a medieval novel, or maybe that’s just me.

Atelier Ryza 3

And then there’s Atelier Ryza 3. You’re in Ryza’s shoes, diving into these mysterious isles to save her hometown. Sounds like a typical Tuesday, right? If only life were that adventurous.

Indika

For the story lovers, Indika dives deep. Ever imagine a nun on a wild self-discovery trip, crossing paths with unexpected characters, even the devil? Wild stuff.

Harold Halibut

Oh, can’t forget Harold Halibut. This claymation gem took ages to craft. It’s all about friendship and a ship, marooned in an alien ocean — oddly inviting and yet, not. See what I mean?

Coral Island

Someone seeking peace will find Coral Island to be their cup of tea. Picture this — trading city chaos for farm life. Crops, animals, the whole shebang. Kind of Stardew Valley-ish, if that rings any bells.

Resident Evil 2 & 3

And for those on the Premium tier, step into the eerie world of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. It’s Leon and Claire vs. zombie chaos, and then Jill vs. the shadiness of Umbrella Corp. Quality tweaks galore. Nostalgia overload, but the good kind.

And, well, there you have it. A roller coaster of a lineup, with a little bit for everyone. Whether you’re into web-swinging, farming, or sinister mysteries, it’s all on the table. Now, where did I put that controller?
