PlayStation Plus has added Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and Vampire Survivors to the August Game Catalog, following Helldivers 2 on August 12. Most of the announced Extra and Premium lineup became available on August 18, while several titles use later regional dates.

PlayStation Plus: confirmed details

The broader list includes Hell is Us, Two Point Museum, Metro Exodus and Dying Light 2. Premium members also receive Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams and Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire, with the latter adding modern features such as up-rendering, rewind, quick save and video filters to the original PlayStation game.

What changes for players

The month mixes a large medieval RPG, a short-session roguelite and cooperative action rather than concentrating on one genre. Subscribers should verify platform labels because some entries support both PS4 and PS5 while others are PS5-only. A catalog addition grants access through the subscription; it is not permanent ownership after a game leaves.

Timing and wider context

Sony says lineups and dates can differ by region. Hell is Us, Two Point Museum, Metro Exodus and Dying Light 2 are listed for August 25 in the United States, United Kingdom and Japan, so players should use their local PlayStation Store instead of assuming every title appeared on August 18.

The feature list and timing above reflect the developer’s announcement published on August 12, 2026. Future hotfixes can adjust balance or availability, so live values should be checked against the current client.

For PlayStation Plus, the practical checkpoint is the live client: confirm the installed version, platform notes and regional rollout before relying on a scheduled feature. Store availability, maintenance windows and certification can create timing differences even when the developer announces one date for the wider release.
