We’re happy to share the free PS4 games for PS Plus members this August! This month we look to satisfy your inner space pirate, and let you battle it out with friends in a frenzied tower builder.
First up is Tricky Towers, a new title from WeirdBeard Games. Tricky Towers is a physics-based puzzler that’s at its best when you’re competing against friends. With local and online multiplayer for two to four players, the game shines as you race to stack your tower while casting spells to disrupt your opponents. The gameplay is fast, fun, and addictive, as you’ll find yourself coming back for more. So gather your friends or join them online and enjoy the mayhem of Tricky Towers.
Next up is Rebel Galaxy. Suit up and take command in this space combat RPG from developer Double Damage. Take the helm of a massive destroyer as you make your reputation through trade, by being a work-for-hire mercenary or a swashbuckling pirate. In a procedurally generated universe, no two star systems are the same and there’s always something new to discover. So take the helm, prepare for battle, and have a blast with Rebel Galaxy.
Full lineup:
- Tricky Towers, PS4
- Rebel Galaxy, PS4
- Yakuza 5, PS3
- Retro/Grade, PS3
- Patapon 3, PS Vita
- Ultratron, PS Vita, PS3, PS4
We’ll see you in the comments section. Enjoy.
Oh man… this is pretty bad…. I’d be mildly excited if I owned a ps3, but I feel bad for us ps4/vita owners..
@mthodmn101 Every month can’t be a winner for PS Plus games. And besides you don’t even own a hard drive big enough.
Rebel Galaxy has decent enough reviews. Why do you know you and everyone else is going to hate the game? A meta critic of 75, and a User Score of 80 isn’t good enough for $4 dollars a month plus all the other benefits, several other games, and discounts?
PS Plus is worth it just for the extra 10-30% they give you alone IMO.
Though I can see people who only buy like 3-5 games a year being upset and feeling like they have to pay for PS Plus but then again maybe if they tried the games in their plus lineup maybe they’d get more enjoyment out of their Plus.
Hey maybe you’ll try Patapon 3 and really get into it. If you like oldschool at all Ultratron is really fun.
So yeah I dont’ feel bad for PS4/Vita owners. I feel bad for people who don’t like trying new games and building a backlog of different experiences.
Not sure about your comment for PS3 owners – I know a lot of people will be happy with Yakuza, but it’s not interesting to me. And I thought Retro/Grade had been on Plus before – maybe it was a different rythm game. In any case, I’m not personally thrilled with this list for any platform, but I bet some people are.
Just a weak month for me. Those who are excited about XBox getting WWE make me shake my head, though – I’d be just as disappointed to get that. Blech. Goes to show that you can’t please everybody.
Tricky Towers looks like a good time filler between games
On a side note – Please bring Streets of Rage to the Psn for the PS4!!!!!!
Tusunami, you act like people don’t delete games or upgrade their HDD. Please..
I think you would feel bad regardless of the games. Those PS4 games are considered good. While not exactly to my personally liking, I hardly find it something to be disappointed about.
I have all sony consoles and this is a prime month to show people just have different taste. I see people having a fit because X! got Warriors Orochi and WWE….I would not even DL those if they were the PS+ games ( stopped watching WWE when i was like 10). No ive never heard of either PS4 game this month and i doubt I’d spend more then a few hrs with them…but at least its something ive never played before.
In a lose/lose situation i rather give a mystery game a go and see what happens.
I was almost disappointed with this months selection then I saw Yakuza. Totally made it all better. I love the Yakuza series. I’m actually impressed, last month we got Saints Row IV for PS4 and Yakuza 5 for PS3 this month. Back to back wins. Usually we get a really great game every 3 or 4 months. Well done PS+. Now you’re gettin us what we really love.
I was pretty underwhelmed by the list at first, but i checked out some gameplay footage of Rebel Galaxy and am actually pretty excited for it. I mean, it doesn’t look like the best game ever, but it does look very fun
This is a very poor line up for the PS4, PS3 not so bad, Still think I’ll give them a miss :(
As someone who pre-ordered No Man’s Sky, none of these games will be taking my play time in August. ;) Just nice to have more bonus games.
Are you joking? Rebel Galaxy is an amazing game.
After 2 aaa months back to the indie crap woo hoo!
Monthly gaming has become very bad xbox platform games are the best in terms of monthly games
Rebel Galaxy is actually a very good game. Give it a try!
Screw PlayStation plus, if I don’t need to play online I won’t have it and the games . Come on even in the PS store it say they love indie Games
Rebel Galaxy is basically the pirate ship combat from Assassin’s Creed 4, but in space. It’s solid.
Rebel Galaxy and Yakuza 5 are great PS+ games. Good month.
I’m excited for Yakuza 5! The other stuff… No idea!
Reviews are opinions(a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge). Stop using them(reviews) to defend!!!
Waste!!!
Dude, totally agree 100%. I do not know how they pick the games but I do not pay for ps plus to get a bunch of c list games. I especially hate when the free games are games I can play on my iphone. They have a big enough catalog now to give out some decent games. People that say its a free game stop complaining, well no its not free its a feature of having a ps plus membership. When i first signed up before ps4 came out they would give like 4 or 5 games a month with 2 or 3 being good enough to play. They used to give things like bioshock infinite and even saints row 3. What would be awesome is if they gave out the first game if a sequel is coming out, give people a chance to either learn the story or catch up. I hope it gets better soon.
+tusunami maybe you only not us
Yeah… as a ps plus member myself, with a ps4, I was hoping for something better. There were rumors of Yazuka being on ps4, so i was excited. Then… this.
What is this?! What’s with ps4 and giving out crappy spaceship games, along with… tricky towers?
Bullcrap.
I pay 60 bucks a month for ps plus. I expect something worthwhile that will at least last me a few days without me deleting it…
This month’s are one of the worst in a long time.
I am an extreme playstation supporter, so normally, you’ll never hear me complimenting Xbox, but honestly… Xbox Gold’s monthly free games are so much better than PS’s. Assassin’s Creed, WWE, etc.
And we get stuck with this bullcrap.
Lol btw i meant 60 bucks a year not a month xD
Ill be real.. I’ve got all the consoles.. however,imo I’d be ok with it if the games were backwards compatible like my xbone.but having to switch consoles to play the games and unload them is sorta sucky. Imo the xbone games are better this month,but thats just this month. Tbh I’m not excited about the psplus games one bit,not even my kids are.but when they seen spelunky,and WWE..not that I’m. Fan of war.. but my kids liked it ..but I’ll dnload all of them..n play all of them. I still feel we should be able to play them on all on ps4, like i can w the dnload I get from xbone n 360.. just my opinion.. gg all.
Rebel Galaxy is a pretty good game. I own it on PC and it’s awesome.
Are you actually joking? Patapon 3 is ridiculously fun, and being able to actually find parties online to play will be just AMAZING. And for serious, everything from Puppy Games is incredible, and Ultratron is absolutely no different.
For the love of God…… Sony STOP doing PSP titles for the Vita… I do want ANY psp game… There are tons of games for the vita to offer. If i want to play a psp game… I would not use my vita
Yea, i know like maybe sony could put in gta v or bo3 or actual good games. At least we got nba 2k16 in june and SR in july they need to keep releasing good games or else everyone going to start buying xbox’s and sony will lose all their money. Also people would keep buying PS plus if they released good games like gta or bo3
I’m actually not gonna complain about this month’s lineup. I am willing to try these games even if I end up not liking them because they sound right up my alley. I don’t need AAA games just interesting ones.
Well im disappointed with the free games for ps4 this month as wont play any just glad I got a xbox one to as they do decent games for free more popular games such as the crew and wwe 2k16
The only stand-out lineup was the one with NBA 2K16
I always add these things to the ol’ library just in case…but how about Sony stops making me pay for my very own server with ps+. So I can drop this “non-service.” People that enjoy the discounts and those free indie games, that should have come out during the reign of Super Nintendo, can pay for it. Don’t give me the cloud argument. You don’t host multi-player on ps servers, don’t make us pay for it.
I hate to be a negative guy here but this may be the worst month for ps plus gamers. Of course the one month that you have bad games are on my birthday month. Why can’t we get those top-notch games like NBA 2k16 back. We need games that people actually play. Would love to see maybe Fallout 4. Maybe that’s going too far but it would be HUGE and it would mean a lot to everybody in the PS4 community.
If we get Fallout 4 for PS Plus members, I will love Playstation so much. I mean, I already do but it’s just my dream to play Fallout 4. I do not have the money to go out and buy it. Please, Playstation. At least show me you’re putting this to thought.
Rebel galaxy is an awesome game and will provide several hours of fun if you get into it. I have already purchased it months ago for 20$ and it was worth every penny. I would almost say it’s an open world sandbox the game is pretty big. Hopefully tricky towers will be somewhat entertaining. This is a very good month in my opinion thanks for this month’s line up sony.
Damnit ps free games maybe wasn’t for everyone in july with Saints Row and fat princess ,but at least fury and Call of Juarez were good games. And the ps vita had Prince of Persia and Oreshika were pretty good games. Compared to july these games suck.
Every month people on here complain. It’s like you want them to give you new releases every month.. shut up and enjoy. No one’s making you download. I’m ready to enjoy my new games!
Rebel Galaxy is a good snag. I beat it twice on PC. a lot of farming at first but a great space game. I’ll finish it again here.
I think it’s so funny how everyone complains about not having good games for free. I was reading all these complaints and it just sounds like they just want popular games for free. I’m not gonna say these games are terrible just because I didn’t get a brand new 60$ game that is popular. Just give this game a try and don’t whine about it jeez
Poor as always why am I not surprised didn’t get the ea access on ps4 no dought bcoz ps thought they would lose money then the fallout 4 mod still isn’t out way behind xbox and pc then they cap it off taking our money and giving us these crappy games tht ain’t even as gud as the 1s I get free on my phone well done playstation for overpriced store games poor connections to ur servers amongst all other crap thts bad the worst thing though is I have to sit back and say xbox own use lot poor poor poor
come on man , Rebel Galaxy is a win –
This is terrible. Hopefully the PS+ games gets better as well as the servers.
This price increase is bull. The ‘free’ games are garbage. They Need to introduce a cheaper tier for Multiplayer only.
Why are they raising the price of Playstation plus.it’s bad u have to pay to play online ..you already have an Internet bill…this is wrong
@tusunami right…except that MOST weeks aren’t winners. That’s the problem: inconsistency.
Wow they are just gonna spit in our face like that? Increase Ps+ and continue with the indie trash every month? And they aren’t even going to make an effort to let us change our names? It’s a simple display players “real names” to each other and keep your original name just display it on their profile like steam does. It’s amazing they don’t think of this it took me 2 minutes to come up with that solution yet here we are like 7 years later and they still haven’t figured it out
This really bad for Sony I’m not alone but I tell you that I go for xbox this is really ridiculous why i will pay 20 $ extra for the psn ?????
As always: the games are boring :/
Sony, please take a look at Xbox gold monthly free games !!
Yeah. I am cancelling my subscription. It has been horrible ever since the PS4 launched. There’s hardly any good free games. It is not worth the extra money. I will probably be switching to PC.
Thank You Shawn Layden for destroying the PlayStation that we all know and loved. You sir are not Jack Tretton because he knew what gamers wanted. More people will ditch your console because of this stupid decision.
This is how you destroy your lead. By disrespecting your fans.
Start making cash right now… Get more time with your family by doing jobs that only require for you to have a computer and an internet access and you can have that at your home. Start bringing up to $14000 a month. I’ve started this job and I’ve never been happier and now I am sharing it with you, so you can try it too.
