Sony has established a pattern with the new PS Plus tiers. Based on the first couple of updates, it seems PS Plus subscribers can look forward to learning about the new PS Plus Extra and Premium games in the middle of each month, with the titles added shortly thereafter. That’s the case with the new PS Plus Extra and Premium games for August 2022, which were just recently revealed and will be joining the service come Tuesday, August 16.

August 16 is going to be a huge day for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers. On that day, PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can check out an additional 12 games, including some rather heavy hitters. Here are all the new games coming to PS Plus Extra and Premium on August 16.

The new PS Plus Extra and Premium games for August 2022 feature a wide range of titles. This includes Bugsnax, a quirky indie game about catching sentient food items and interacting with muppet-like creatures on a tropical island. Bugsnax is notable for being the first-ever free PS5 PS Plus game back when the console first launched in November 2020, but now anyone that missed out on claiming it the first time around can check it out through their PS Plus Extra and Premium subscription. Bugsnax through PS Plus Extra and Premium won’t be for keeps, but subscribers should still have plenty of time to play through it.

Bugsnax is a relatively family-friendly game with a mostly light-hearted tone, which is the exact opposite of Dead by Daylight, another game set to join the PS Plus Extra and Premium lineup on August 16. Dead by Daylight is an asymmetric multiplayer horror game, where four players act as the survivors and one takes on the role of a serial killer. Developer Behaviour Interactive has dreamed up plenty of its own original characters for the Dead by Daylight roster, though the more attention-grabbing baddies are the killers pulled straight from fan favorite horror franchises like Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, and more.

Besides quirky collect-a-thon and multiplayer horror games, PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers also have plenty of shooters to look forward to when it comes to the August 2022 lineup. This includes roguelike space shooter Everspace, as well as open world co-op shooter Ghost Recon Wildlands and single-player FPS action-adventure game Metro Exodus.

Shooter fans should be kept plenty busy by the new PS Plus Extra and Premium additions on August 16, but other genres are well-represented as well. For example, JRPG Trials of Mana is also joining the service on August 16. Trials of Mana is the 2020 remake of the classic SNES JRPG, with it making significant improvements to the graphics and more.

Fans of Japanese-developed games have more than Trials of Mana to look forward to on August 16 - they can also try three games in the critically-acclaimed Yakuza series from Sega. Right now, one of the free PS Plus games for August 2022 in the Essential tier is Yakuza: Like a Dragon, but the PS Plus Extra and Premium additions include Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, and Yakuza Kiwami 2. Yakuza 0 is a prequel game and one of the most critically-acclaimed entries in the series to date, right up there with Like a Dragon. Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2, meanwhile, are remakes of the first two games in the series.

Those who come away impressed by the Yakuza games and want to play the rest of the games in the series are in luck. It’s been confirmed that the rest of the main series Yakuza games are coming to PS Plus Extra and Premium later this year. Sony stopped short of confirming the specific months the games will be available, but fans will be able to check out Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, Yakuza 5, and Yakuza 6 through their PS Plus Extra and Premium subscriptions at some point before 2022 comes to a close.

On top of all these games, a spattering of digital board games are available for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers to check out as well come August 16, with digital versions of Monopoly Madness, Monopoly Plus, and UNO all set to join the library.
