PS Plus' free PS4 games for August 2020 have been revealed.
Sony has announced the new PS Plus lineup today over on the PlayStation Blog. The first is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered, and the second is Fall Guys, the 60-player battle royale platformer. What's more, the Activision FPS will be available early; you can download and start playing it from tomorrow, 28th July.
Interestingly, this will be the first time an indie title has launched as a PS Plus game for quite some time. Fall Guys releases on 4th August, which also happens to be the same day PS Plus will be refreshed. It's a perfect game to launch on PS Plus, as it relies heavily on having a decent amount of players logged in. You can learn more about Fall Guys in an upcoming interview, in which we discuss this announcement, post-launch plans, and whether Craig Charles would be up for running commentary. For now, check out our Fall Guys hands on impressions.
As for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered, we enjoyed revisiting it in our 7/10 review, describing it as a "welcome trip down memory lane":
It may have ditched the revolutionary multiplayer offering and Spec Ops mode, but what has been brought into the modern era manages to stand on its own two feet. It still suffers from design choices of old, but this is an intense, enjoyable single player campaign that's more than worth your time.
Are you excited about your PS Plus games for August? Let us know in the comments section below, and remember you can find a full list of all free PS Plus games in 2020 through the link.

Well hell that is freaking sweet.
I was going to buy Fall Guys.
Wow, first time in a long time I’m looking forward to playing both. Great month for me.
Boom! That is a great month, on a roll PS+
I don’t have either, good month.
-Obviously with fall guys lol
🚨FALL GUYS🚨
Fantastic month, yeah i'm really happy with this.
Excellent month, sweet 👍
Crap! A real dudd for me. Suppose Fall (Takeshi's Castle) Guys could be ok for 10 mins....
Fall Guys looks like it'll be fantastic! COD will be a fun weekend romp im sure. Great month!
Not bad at all. The CoD MW2 campaign was on my radar but probably wouldn’t have bit.
Meh, neither are for me but that's how it goes sometimes!
My first reaction was "not ANOTHER COD game", but then I remembered that I was going to buy this, given [for me], the game only being single player was a selling point. So, technically a good month for that, but I have no interest in the other game. Still; can't grumble too much (got plenty to be playing from BackLogLand) ...
So much CoD with Plus.
These two titles are definitely appreciated. Cheers PS
Don't think I've ever played through CoD Mod War 2's campaign so I'll probably give that a go
A new game day one on PlayStation plus can’t ask the more than that.
Another COD game.....ugggh. oh well looks like I will be dipping into my backlog
cries in JRPG ...throw us a bone, a Tales of, a Ps2 remaster, a Disgaea! 😭
I ♡ backlog. Nothing for me. How many CoD does a person need? I have Black Ops III and MW Remastered and it's two too many. Never played either on PS4.
MW2 was my favourite back in the day, was a little put off at the price for sp only so very happy. Fallguys looks pretty good too...
Is the No Russian level still in the remake?
I'm not one of the sheep. Don't care about either game. Considering that ps5 is right around the corner, you'd think we'd get some actual quality games.
It's very rare for me to have PS Plus or to play multiplayer, but I'm legitimately excited for trying out Fall Guys.
Ugh.
Nothing for me this month.
@Deljo yes it is in the remaster
Not another call of duty game
I'm SO excited for Fall Guys!! This is going to be huge
MW2 remastered is great and Fall Guys is excellent fun.
A very solid month for PSPlus!
Fall Guys should be fun, albeit in small bites.
Not sure why the excitement for an old game in COD, but each to their own.. Nearly as bad as having a sport title in PS Plus..
Anyhoo enjoy whatever ya playing out there.
Step in the right direction, hoping for an overhaul of PS Plus and PS Now going into PS5 launch, missing piece of the puzzle for me.
Fall Guys is a great freebie!
CoD MW2 remastered you say? Yes please.
Sweet was going to get MW2 at some point, haven't heard of fall guys but will give it a go, this is the first time in a long time where I haven't already got the games or I wanted to play. So happy person here lol, although I still haven't had my free 10 but will let that go for now lol
Not the thrilled about yet another COD title for PS+, Sony are really leaning heavy on that partnership eh?
But Fall Guys day 1 when it’s a new release is great news and it looks fun! I hope we get brand new indies like this in the future because it guarantees a game that people do not already own.
HOLY HEEEECK this is amazing! I was close to buying the remaster twice already and I was super interested in Fall Guys. Insanely awesome month!!
Awwwww yeh! I was gonna buy Fall Guys, cos it looks like the game I need at the moment, so even better its on +.
FALL GUYS....YES!!!
So I dont have to buy it haha
Really looking forward to Fall Guys. Watched a mate play it over the weekend and looked fun.. Probably one that will fizzle out quick but fun for the short period.
not but but there should never be remasters in ps plus
very happy with this! so glad that remastered version of Call Of Duty 2 is in the mix👍👍
Looks like PS+ has gotten almost every CoD game released during the Sony exclusivity time period as PS+:
June 2018 - CoD Black Ops III
March 2019 - CoD Modern Warfare Remastered
June 2020 - CoD WWII
August 2020 - CoD Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered
All that's left is Infinite Warfare, Black Ops 4 and Modern Warfare (2019).
@Feena When was the last we got a JRPG?
Granted, I have most of the good ones except for the ones that came out this year but still!
Us weebs need love too!
Glad Fall guys is on Plus.
Already have CoD. I might try Fall Guys. This service kinda sucks if you actually buy games, but I knew that already.
I'm happy. Been sniffing around mw2 for a while and think Fallguys is the kind of multiplayer i'll enjoy.
Brings back good memories where psplus delivered brand new indie games. Remembered great months with outlast, furi, rocket league etc
@RawnDawn I think America got Disgaea 3 a million years ago and it was switched with a sports game in the EU 😂
Nothing for me. Dont play online at all and done COD MW2 way back when on the ps3. Since then my stance has changed on the franchise and i no longer play any of them. Congrats to everyone looking forward to them tho 👌
Oh, roll on September then, i played MW2 10 years ago, not about to play it again. Fair enough for younger players.
Had a look a fall guys, not for me.
Maybe sony could send me some of that £10 store credit love instead.
Wow. What a dreadful month.
@Deljo yeah it is and still has the settings to turn the level off if you dont want to play it, same exact game as the ps3 version.
Meh! Move along nothing to see here.
Not bad. It's nice to see an indie title being offered on PS Plus again.
Not bad at all! I had brought the MW remaster just 2 weeks ago dam it! But anybody going to download and give it ago I’d say go for it!
Fall guys not played before so will be giving that a go!
That’s a decent month. I’m looking forward to Fall Guys. MW2 is also good Plus game.
@OmegaStriver I know right, it's the first battleroyale game which I am genuinely interested to play. Saw some streamers play it online on twitch and it was lots of fun
So a couple of multiplayer games.....
Oh well, better luck next month hopefully. 🤞🏻
Library job.
So does anyone know what size COD MW2 is...without MP, surely its not one of these 40gb+ hard drive black hole guzzlers with a fortnightly update? Nice to see a new release indie title but would prefer more single player stuff than multiplayer. Still, daresay it'll prove popular.
I’m glad for the early announcement. It helps me plan my month’s purchases (if any).
The COD PS Plus output is reaching saturation level. I’m not even sure what MW2 offers above and beyond MW.
But Fall Guys is a real great offering. I’ve been hoping they got back do having day 1 indie games on Plus like they used to. I might just try this one as the buzz about it seems really positive.
@mcyr1984 yeah,ok mr contrarian. Liking things you dont doesn't make people sheep.
@Feena The last JRPG we got as part of PS+ was some silly PS3 JRPG that I liked, but can't remember its name. The main character was called Chou Chou and it was a silly adventure where she and her minions tried to take over the world by enslaving each world's demon lord and hero. It was definitely fanservicey, but fun. It was offered for free back in Summer of 2017 I believe.
Somewhat unexciting month for me not really tempted by either game. Maybe next month.
Ugh what is it with PS+ and subpar games? COD is overrated. I might try Fall Guys, I just don't know how religiously I'll play it.
@InsertGoodName I never understood why people hate multiplayer games. Is it because you don't have friends?
@Bamila I love playing games like this with my kids and Fall Guys seems great.
Brilliant month. I was going to buy both, and nearly picked up MW2 the last time it went in sale. Delighted
@KisekiFan7 oh yeah Mugen Souls Z!
I'm soooo glad Fall Guys are on there. Game looks like a blast!
A cod game everyone has played and some other that looks like it's for 6 year olds not the best
I've had a beta play through of Fall Guys. It's really good fun. I was planning on buying this anyway but even better it's in ps plus. I'm not too fussed about MW2 but might play through it again as it was a decent campaign if I remember rightly
Lol. They really had no idea to do with this release. So they checked out and released it on plus. I'm happy though, ond of the best campaigns imo
Fall Guys, what a fantastic fun little game. I've had the pleasure in taking part in several of the test builds on PC, and its a blast. So great to hear its coming to PS Plus!
Thats a great get, similar to Rocket League and Resogun launching on the PS Plus.
Don’t have either game not interested in either game. PS4 plus it’s really a bust for me!
wow, great games this month!
Not interested. I have better games in my backlog.
I don't want to be rude... At least I'll get for birthday Wolfenstein 2 and Deadpool.
Have to say another disappointing selection the last 3 months seem to have been pretty much the same types of games. Not really showing much depth in my opinion
I have REALLY missed Indies launching on Plus. Perfect way to GURANTEE we haven't already bought the game, increasing liklihood of value. But nooo...people complained for so long about a lack of AAA fare. Glad to have it back.
@SwankyPaladin I don't have many friends but that's not relevant to the reason. The actual reason is I enjoy a sense of achievement conquering a game all by myself, rather than not being bold enough and having to rely on teammates.
No interest in Modern Warfare but Fall Guys sounds fun
Hmmm might actually sub this month! Modern Warfare I’d happily play that just didn’t want to pay full price for it and fall guys looks fun! Great month!
First time in a long time I don't own either of the games, I need to stop spending during sales!
Thats a weird selection.ok.word up son
Knockout? It's a sucker punch! Lame shooter or worse a battle royale. Pass. I dont feel like being in multiplayer hell. Gaming has gotten spoiled and moronic good luck to those people who love the choices I'll stay with my fun!
Cod2 is a nice free choice. I still can't understand why the multiplayer wasn't included. I absolutely loved the multiplayer in cod mw remastered and wanted to play the next one too.
That's pretty good, modern warfare 2 is good and I'm interested in fall guys.
Another month of games I'm not interested in...
Does Frantics have a single player mode? Otherwise, it sounds like two multiplayer-only titles at once. Would have been neater to get another MW remake for the backlog (the first one actually mapped shooting controls to Vita's shoulder buttons), but yet again I'm paying the price for once overcautiously making a Russian primary account just because the used Vita I bought had been originally sold for the region.🙄😆
Personally not a CoD-head so wont bother with that. Will prob have a go on fall guys to see what that's all about. Overall a meh month for me but fine - I got big back log anyhow
More COD.... yay?....woo?
I am impressed although knack 2 would have been a much better pick I'm sure we can all agree.
seems a little too soon after junes cod game
Not happy about COD I'm just not into those games. I am looking forward to trying fall guys though. I wish we could get a good story driven rpg or a nhl game.
No man this SUCKS another COD game and some dumb kids game. Rather let community vote on games. Eg put out 4-6 games top 2 votes are in. And rest of world get free PSN credit but not us in South Africa. Don't we also count??? Three months in a row with KAK games. If this continues im going over to x box. Shape up ore ship out.
Fall guys is a smart choice for PS+. Already have some friends talking about downloading it and trying it out next week just based on the concept alone, even if it’s outside of the types of games they usually play.
@InsertGoodName @supergurr although mw2 is single player only so you're all good and it is a fun campaign
Well this is very interesting cod mw2 campaign is not showing as free to download it is still showing as full price even tho it is in the ps plus menu
Ohh interesting. I'll have a crack then, for free. I hope they put more effort into the single player than Call of Duty Ghosts. I watched my friend play that and it took him about 2 hours from start to finish having never played the game before. Truly a pathetic state of affairs for glorious single player campaigns these days.
@gamerjo69 i really think they are doing this out of spite tbh
@mcyr1984 iM noT ONe OF ThE sHeEeeEeeEEEp.
Smfh
Nice!!! Fall guys looks like a tonne of stupid fun!! Cant wait to have a few drinks and jump in!!
Nothing I want, but will probably add both anyways.
Why do articles like this strangely repeat?
Why bump old thread?
@Feena
Your avatar alone deserves a like.
Excited for Fall Guys. Not so much for another COD game. Good for people who like cod though.
Uhhhmmm..... This article again? Whats going on here?
@OmegaStriver finally a online fame with no toxic behaviour from ppl every game is different can't blame others
Sony is repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot this summer. Last of us 2 was recycled. A 'select few' (4% of users) were given some cash in their online wallet (Do it for everybody or nobody). MW2 released earlier this year and it's already free. Are they gonna pay people back that already bought it? Of course not. I'm switching to board games, and not even fun ones. I'm gonna play monopoly with family. Still better than anything Sony's done this year.
Shrugs indifferently Meh...
Darnit PS4 Another Battle Royale game??? Really? Oh and another COD game...yay....how pathetic can you get. Can you fire whoever is making these choices or give them a clue that not everyone that plays are in love with the same dang thing 4 months in a row??
@DarkLloyd and COD WW2? Ans the other 7 Battle Royales they have put forth?
@Grumblevolcano and whats this years Battle Royale count? Its sickening.
@Maksmis you make zero sense
We just had WW2 though...🙄
Another really good month. Fall guys looks like a great time. Can't wait to get into that with some friends. Modern warfare 2 was the last Call of Duty I played, and I remember it being pretty good.
Does Activision have Sony's nudes?
Another COD FFS!
@Bamila They know it attracts traffic.
Absolutely crap. Cod zombies is the only fun thing in that crap franchise and a battle royal game? Why when fortnite is king. Crap month again. Thanks sony.
@TheProphetTupac That are the CEO and investors talking they heard a new buzzword.
