PlayStation Plus PS4 Sony 1

Amazingly, it's that time of the month yet again where our attention turns to the Instant Game Collection. It may only feel like yesterday that Rocket League released for free, but August's PlayStation Plus update should be announced sometime next week – barring a last-minute disaster, of course.

This means that it's time to speculate about what could be included in Sony's latest collection of complimentary gaming goods. New releases on 4th August – when we're expecting the lineup to refresh – include Bedlam, The Castle Game, and AeternoBlade, all of which could make the cut. Submerged and Galak-Z: The Dimensional are also due out on the same day, but are tied to existing promotions, and are unlikely to be given away.

Of course, there's no guarantee that we'll score any brand new games – but Sony does seem to prefer leading with fresh releases rather than older outings. We suppose that we're probably due something a little bigger budget; Knack, for some reason, has been a constant request from subscribers since launch.

But instead of us jabbering on, we want to hear your thoughts. What games are you hoping will make the grade in August, and why? Are you still clamouring for major blockbusters, or do you like the newer indie stuff that the Japanese giant's been giving away of late? Share your wishlist for August in the comments section below, and don't forget to check back throughout next week for confirmation of the official offering.
