PS Plus Essential August 2025 reveal time and when you can expect to play the incoming games

The latest batch of PS Plus games is soon to be available for Essential subscribers, with fans eagerly awaiting the reveal of the new titles.

PS Plus has been performing well for players, particularly those on its Extra and Premium tiers. The PS Plus Extra and Premium July drop was a real game-changer, not only delivering the day one-launch of Abiotic Factor and providing endless hours of gameplay with Planet Zoo, but also surprising players with Cyberpunk 2077 on the same day it was revealed. This was a massive deal for fans, especially considering that just the month before, the PS Plus Essential July drop offered them Diablo 4.

The service has been on a roll recently, leading fans to hope that this success can continue into a winning streak that guarantees a strong PS Plus Essential August 2025 drop. If the August 2025 PS Plus predictions are accurate, then it certainly will be, with Resident Evil 4 expected to appear on the service for users to add to their libraries and play at their leisure, provided they remain subscribed – but it all remains to be seen. Frankly, we'll take anything so long as it's free, but any game from the horror franchise is welcome.

We won't know for sure until the games are revealed, and fortunately, that's not too far away. So, when exactly can we expect the incoming PS Plus Essential August 2025 reveal time? Here's what you need to know.

PS Plus Essential August 2025 reveal time

The PS Plus Essential August 2025 reveal time is set for 8.30am PDT / 11.30am EDT / 4.30pm BST on Wednesday, July 30. This is a known fact as the PS Plus Essential games of any given month always make their appearance on its last Wednesday, before being launched onto the service on the following Tuesday, which in this case is Tuesday, August 4.

Expectations are high for some more cracking additions to the PS Plus service, but it's anyone's guess what we'll receive – though if Resident Evil 4 makes an appearance, it's bound to be thrilling for fans. It's quite the lucky dip, but hey, no one's moaning about getting to play games we might not have already purchased for free.
