August 25 is Going to Be a Super Busy Day for PS Plus Subscribers

PlayStation Plus subscribers will soon be treated to a fresh batch of new games coming to the Extra tier.

PlayStation Plussubscribers have yet another update to look forward to in the near future, as five games are making their debut on the Extra tier all at once. Sony recently changed how it distributes new games to the Extra and Premium tiers ofPlayStation Plus. Instead of adding all of the games on the same day like it used to do, Sony has now started to spread the new additions throughout the month.

There's pros and cons to this approach, but regardless, it means that PS Plus subscribers have already been treated to some new Extra and Premium games in August. Earlier in the month,PS Plus Extra and Premium were updatedto includeKingdom Come: Deliverance 2andVampire Survivorsfor the Extra tier andDisney's Atlantis: The Lost EmpireandOnimusha: Dawn of Dreamsfor the Premium tier. PS Plus subscribers can check those games out while they wait for the next batch of titles that are coming on Tuesday, August 25.
