PlayStation has announced the latest wave of PlayStation Plus titles being added to its Game Catalogue this August, with headliners including medieval adventure Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the excellent and moreish rogue-lite survival game Vampire Survivors and the award-winning multiplayer alien shooter Helldivers 2.
Beyond these titles, there’s also a handful of other games set to be available via PlayStation Plus, including one nostalgic Disney classic, a spin-off in the wildly popular Umamusume Pretty Derby anime horse girl franchise, and one critically-acclaimed museum management game.
Subscribers on all tiers of PlayStation Plus will gain access to the games from 18 August, although there is some variation for subscribers in the United States, United Kingdom and Japan.
Helldivers 2 is an exception. It will launch worldwide from 13 August.
