Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin August PS Plus Extra Game List Credit: Sony PlayStation Plus Extra is about to get a bunch of new games, some of which are pretty great new additions to Sony’s expanding Game Pass competitor. While the free batch of PS Plus Essential games dropped earlier this month, comprised of three surprisingly great titles , this second batch—available at the Extra and Premium tiers—is also quite strong. For shooter fans, Ghost Recon Wildlands provides some really fun open-world cartel-fighting action.

It’s not quite the same stealth experience as the original Ghost Recon games, but if you enjoy open-world tactical combat, flying helicopters and running missions, it’s definitely worth your time. First-person shooter fans should give Metro Exodus a shot. The latest game in the post-apocalyptic shooter is bigger and better-looking, and should provide you with hours of tense missions fighting your way through hideous monsters and rival factions.

One player plays the killer while the other four try to survive against the odds.

That brings the total count for August up to four, since Yakuza: Like A Dragon was released on the first Tuesday of the month for PS Plus Essential and above. Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2 join the PS Plus Extra and Premium lineup today.

There’s something for everyone, including the space-sim Everspace and two different Monopoly titles, as well as the family-friendly (but super weird and a little janky) Bugsnax .

There appear to be no older console games coming out on the 16th, though I will update this post if that changes and Sony drops some surprises.

What do you think of the new PS Plus so far? Did you subscribe to the higher tiers? Is it worth it? I finally went ahead and bit the bullet, but so far I haven’t had a ton of time to test it out. I will and will report back soon. Follow me on Twitter .
