PS Plus Premium and Extra only launched in the UK a few weeks ago, but already the promising signs of a revamped PlayStation Plus. After launching with a huge library of hundreds of games that included Death Stranding, Spider-Man, Red Dead Redemption 2 and much more, the first big update to the PS Plus Premium and Extra library came in July when Stray and Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade and Assassin’s Creed Unity were Among the games that have been added to the PS Plus Premium and Extra library. And just this week, Sony confirmed that eight Yakuza games will be heading to PS Plus Premium and Extra in the future.
The entire saga of Kazuma Kiryu and Yakuza: Like A Dragon is heading to PS Plus, with four of these games added to the PS Plus Premium and Extra libraries in August.
But does Sony have more games coming to PS Plus Premium and Extra in August? And if that’s the case, when will the PS5 and PS4 makers reveal this news?
Well, like we said, PS Plus Premium and Extra are still in their early days, but if the news cycle is similar to PS Plus Essential (previously known as PS Plus only), we can see the new PS Plus Premium monthly bundle and Extra announced at a specific point every Month.
For years now, Sony has stuck to a very specific timeline when announcing and releasing games for what is now known as PS Plus Essential.
The reveal of the new PS Plus lineup of free games is always announced on the last Wednesday of every month, and those games will become available for download the following Tuesday.
July was the first month that Sony got new lineups of PS Plus Essential and the new Premium and Extra tiers.
Like clockwork, the last Wednesday of June saw the PS Plus lineup for July 2022 with these new free to download games — Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, Man of Medan, and Arcadegeddon — available to download the following Tuesday.
Heading into July 2022, PS Plus fans already knew Stray – the futuristic indie cat game that became an overnight internet sensation – would release on PS Plus day one on July 15.
But we didn’t know if any other games would be heading to PS Plus Premium and Extra in July.
Sony ended up confirming the full July 2022 PS Plus slate on Wednesday, July 13th before adding these games to the PS Plus Premium and Extra libraries on Friday, July 15th.
It remains to be seen if Sony follows a similar pattern in July when it comes to unveiling PS Plus Premium and Extra games in August 2022.
But, since new monthly PS Plus games have been revealed and released on a strict schedule for years, it wouldn’t be surprising to see PS Plus Premium and Extra follow up in a similar fashion.
If that’s the case, we could see the PS Plus Premium and Extra August 2022 lineup revealed on the second Wednesday of the month (August 10) followed by a release on the second Friday of the month (August 12).
