The summer months are melting away faster than our internal organs in the current UK heatwave, and that means that it's already time to start thinking about August's free PlayStation Plus games. July saw the addition of new release Furi and comical classic Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell on the PlayStation 4, capping a decent spell for Instant Game Collection updates. But what do you want next?
New releases on 2nd August – which is when we expect the free games to deploy – include ABZÛ, but that title's place in the latest PlayStation Store PLAY promotion makes it an unlikely selection. Sony will probably dip into its archives, then, and with so many still soliciting launch titles like Knack and Killzone: Shadow Fall, surely they'll get the nod soon.
But what are you hoping for? Do you want some brand new indies – or do you want the platform holder to select some older titles from its library? Is it time for the manufacturer to ditch the PlayStation 3 and Vita after some pretty uninspiring additions over the last six months? You know the drill – be kind and respectful in the comments section below.

I could see tomb raider definitive edition next month or September in the lead up to rise of the Tomb Raider.
I wouldn't mind a Murdered Soul Suspect or Sleeping Dogs for PS4. I wanted Dark Souls for PS3 but as far as I can see it isn't available digitally.
For Vita? Maybe 1001 Spikes or VVVVVV but Sony have been putting a lot of old exclusives on the service of late so maybe a Syphon Filter game possibly.
@WebHead That's a pretty good shout. I could see it.
Not certain but wouldnt mind something driving based amd not an arcade one. Aside from driveclub we havent had anything. Perhaps NFS or the crew thats always having heavy discounts
1 new good indie game like furi and 1 AAA game.
Mortal Kombat X would be a nice surprise
I say this every month, I just want games that appeal to me
I can think of a LOT of games that 'could' come to IGC and appreciate that many may well have or don't want these. Tomb Raider - Definitive edition does sound like a good shout of course but so could Watchdogs with Watchdogs 2 not that far away either. Of course some of the PS community are still 'hurting' of the MS deal with 'Rise of the Tomb Raider' and this could be another 'step' to trying to appease those.
One of the few Assassins Creed games could be a possibility with the movie coming up, one of the 'old' exclusives - Killzone, Infamous (although I have both), the Order, Knack etc could be a possibility too.
I think its difficult to predict and with the 18months or so I have has PS+, I certainly won't be holding my breath. If something does appeal, it will be a nice surprise and change (from my perspective) - if not, business as usual...
I hope for grow up, but I'm doubtful.
Elder Scrolls Online and Ratchet n Clank
I guarantee that it will be a title that I have just bought in the latest PS sales.
Assasins Creed Unity would be good because thats when I stopped playing the AC games and it may give the bug again.
They need to pick some solid PSP titles for Vita. If they picked something like Persona 3 Portable or other great rpg's I'd be very happy
Some classics would be nice. Persona 3 portable or Tearaway on the Vita maybe.
Far Cry 4? It was a launch game wasnt it
They're practically giving away the PS4 launch titles in sales lately. They seem like decent IGC fodder that will keep people happy.
@Rudy_Manchego It's a scientific fact that this will always be the case
No longer have a PS3 or Vita so 6 PS4 games please!
@adf86 got sleeping dogs on ps4 a couple months back my friend, won't see it again
@Majic12 I know it was on Plus on PS3 so it makes the PS4 version less likely. Still it's hard to predict.
Titan Souls
Steamworld Heist
Shadow Complex Remastered
Overwatch
Bloodborne
Whatever it is I doubt I want to play it. I just hope it use to cost $60.
@GlynCR came here to say the very same. Axiom Verge would be a good shout as well. Amazing game.
I want then to give Gravity Rush Remastered as a way to promote the sequel
Persona 3 Portable for Vita, KZ Shadowfall for PS4...I don't know anything for PS3 and a indie for everybody, perfect list. Never gonna happen.
Homefront: The Revolution or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan
@sketchturner Definitely Overwatch.
Some of the better psp games for vita, maybe burnout legends !
King of fighters 2000 (ps2 classic)
And am pretty sure we will get "lord of the fallen"ultimate edition
Tomb Raider reboot would indeed be a smart decision, seems a likely choice, and I wouldn't mind giving it another try.
Not interested in the likes of Knack or Killzone: Shadow Fall, would much rather get a newish indie game.
A chicken sandwich.
@LieutenantFatman Just out of interest, how far into the Tomb Raider reboot did you get? Cause I really hated the first few hours of that game, but suddenly, it all just clicked, and I started loving it. If you didn't get very far, I would really encourage you to give it another go
@BranJ0 Thanks, I most likely will give it another chance. I got a few hours in, past a fair few groups of the usual cliché mobs of bad guys. Got the rope for the bow & arrow and a climbing tool I think.
Things started getting a bit mysterious and interesting but unfortunately it was a bit too late to draw me back in at that point and I went off to play something else.
Which is a shame as I absolutely adore the originals and have a lot of respect for the writer, Rihanna Pratchett.
Are people really asking for Knack? Even dl the 35gb it is made of would be a waste to me.
I havent tried July's games yet so I will accept anything.
@DualWielding
Gravity Rush 2 is going to need all the help it can get since Sony won't bother to advertise it at all so I wouldn't mind seeing GR Remastered on PS4. Probably wouldn't have a major impact but any positive exposure for the series is better than nothing.
No Man's Sky. Make it happen, Sony.
Something with a reasonably small file size. I live in regional Australia at the moment and only have 15Gig a month download limit, these regular game updates make me cry!
Killzone is £5 at Cex and why do people go on about wanting Knack? It got crap reviews!
Jamestown plus, ziggurat and worms would be great!
Also pang adventures.
I would love some of those new PS2 remastered classics like Bully etc. But people would get angry maybe?
After all the six download characters for "season 1" have been released, SF5 would also make sense as a psn+ game... Maybe around Christmas or something.
@fluggy I think because it got crap reviews people don't want to pay for it but still want to give it a try...
I really don't want any of the first party retail games. I already own them.
Gravity rush would be nice as I loved the idea on the vita but the controls just irritated me.
Definitely not alienation or shadow of the beast as I just bought them which means they are probably gonna be included.
Ps3 wise I think I've played everything I wanted.
Vita wise I wouldn't mind a ps1 classic like vagrant story.
Edit: I really want them to give killzone intercept out so I can actually get into a match. I bought it in a sale and haven't been able to find a single match.
@Dodoo I enjoyed knack once I changed the difficulty to hard it was still a bit too easy bit the extra challenge kept it interesting.
The vita hybrid coop was really nice too.
i want AAA game
sony sold kill zone on flash sales some thing like 5$ ! so there is no need for kill zone to be in ps plus free games list
Could be anything but with HL Drifter, No Mans Sky and Deus Ex on the horizon I'm looking forward to the next month or so.
Problem is there isn't a great deal on my radar beyond that :/
I don't mind. I would love Hyper Light Drifter, Enter the Gungeon, Super Meat Boy, something in that light. Knack could be okay, dunno if I'd definitely download it though.
Dishonored
Evil Within maybe? Was up in Japan this month.
I got enough to get on with but would be interested in trying a Shantae game or um..well anything decent?
@KratosMD I take it you've played Until Dawn then? If not get it!
Tomb raider feels likely.
