ThePS Plusgame reveal and announcement formula has gotten a shake-up with the introduction of the Extra and Premium Tiers, but it all remains the same forPS Plus Essentialusers. This means Sony will announce the slate of new games later today, as well as release them on the first Tuesday of August (August 2).
Of course, when everything stays the same, that goes for the leaks too. For several months now, a Dealabs user known as Billbil-kun has accuratelyleaked every single PS Plus Essential titlewith a high degree of accuracy. Until Sony confirms the latest leaked line-up, fans should take it with a grain of salt, but it does come from a reliable source.

According to Billbil-Kun, thePS Plus free games for August 2022includeTony Hawk’s Pro Skater(PS5/PS4),Yakuza: Like a Dragon(PS5/PS4), andLittle Nightmares(PS4). To access these games, fans will only need a PS Plus Essential subscription, but those on higher tiers will gain access to these as well.
