Sony has today revealed the lineup of PS5, PS4 titles PS Plus Essential members can download and play for the month of August 2024. Available from Tuesday, 6th August 2024, they are:
- LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (PS5, PS4) | Review
- Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach (PS5, PS4)
- Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights (PS4)
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is seen as the headline addition for the month, which reimagines the films with a comedic and brick-focused twist. In our PS5 review, we awarded an 8/10 and concluded: "LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a meaningful step forward, smartly evolving the gameplay without losing that fun-loving core. Kids will love the slapstick humour and colourful sights and sounds, grown-ups will appreciate all the elbow-in-ribs jokes, and both will enjoy just how much there is to do. Despite some very minor issues, it's gram for gram the best LEGO game in a long time, and it's up there with the top Star Wars games to boot."
The Five Nights at Freddy's game you might remember from many State of Play presentations over the years, while Ender Lilies is apparently an excellent Metroidvania. We didn't get around to reviewing it, but with a Metacritic rating of 86, it certainly seems like a title worth checking out.

Well, Ender lilies for me. Which is actually fine, whenever Plus gives me at least one game of my list I'm happy
Don't care about lego so weak lineup for me, also fnaf a tad overdue?
Could've lined it up with the movie.
I’ll give The Skywalker Saga a go.
Actually not a bad month for me least I can try and FNAF game as never played one before.
Will they ever run out of Lego games to put on plus? Please stop ffs
Another month I'm happy I don't subscribe anymore. I'm really not missing much
Nice month for me. I was going to buy Ender Lilies the other day but hesitated in the cart. Will try before I buy now.
Not a bad month honestly. Ender Lilies is definitely the main highlight for me. Heard people say it's super good so excited to check it out
Pretty pretty pretty good 👍
I'm not touching a FNAF game with a ten foot pole, but the other two are pretty solid. Pretty good month overall.
Removed - trolling/baiting
First month I won’t be subscribed to PS+ in a decade. Good riddance!
Ender Lillies is a great add. First one I’ll actually download from Essential in ages.
Never heard of Ender Lilies, but its something I may check out in future and Lego games are always a bit of fun if I ever clear my backlog.
Lego Skywalker Saga is the game for me!! Was waiting for this one!!
Lego SW has been on my wishlist for so long. Should I even buy games anymore?
Damn I sound like an xbot
I suppose I should play the Skywalker Saga with my daughter. No excuse now.
Not bad! Are Lego games as buggy and unstable as they used to be? I swore them off for that alone...
Ender lilies quietus of the knights for me.this game looks amazing.5 night at freddy security breach.looks cool.hey you playing as me Gregory.haha.best name ever.it.word up son
Ender Lilies looks really cool but Lego Star wars is pretty nice too.
I feel this was a mistake on Sony's part to have a massive Lego game on PS Plus mere months before Lego Horizon releases. For me I was gonna by Lego Horizon to play coop with my wife but now I can do that at no extra cost, and will probably be burnt out on Lego games by the time Aloy arrives
Ahhh already got Lego Star Wars but it’s incredibly daunting, despite the fact I’ve platinumed every Lego game except LoTR, Hobbit, Incredibles, Movie 2 and Ninjago Movie.
Ender Lillies is a great game, but nothing else of interest for me. That’s okay, though — I have too many games in my backlog as it is.
That’ll be a no for me…
Pretty good month but I already bought ender lilies 😅. The game is good though so I'm glad more people will play it 😃
Happy to not be part of PlayStation services any more.
Ever since covid and the transition to PS5, I think that SONY has been generously giving out games to try, but with the recent rise in fees and the decrease in value it has been great to not be part of it.
It was SONY that introduced me to Slay the Spire, Days Gone and X-COM 2 all of which deserves a spot in the Gaming Halls of Valhalla for outstanding gameplay and value for money.
Since then, SONY decision-making have been mostly miss and not hit for me. So, I'm tapped out and turned away. It is nice to save a little money where one can👍
I’ve heard of Ender Lillies but don’t know anything about it. And I’m not a Lego fan, but maybe I should try one of these games; they certainly make enough of them so they must be good
my nephew loves fnaf so i'll take that
Definitely check out Ender Lillies.
Nothing for me, but hopefully extra and premium is good. Can't wait for cat quest 3 next week.
Big thumbs up for Ender Lilies.
@Th3solution Ender lilies is an excellent Metroidvania with a lovely art style. 86 on Metacritic.
Ugh would have been a perfect month for me but I just bought Lego Star Wars.
Oh well, solid month.
Ended Lillies will be added. Waivering over Freddie’s - never played any of them and for some random reason thought they were online multiplayer survival games (?🤦🏼♂️). Won’t be adding Lego SW as I have that already.
So seems like a reasonably positive trio to me
Is it weird to feel relieved at the months where I don't want to play any of the games? Allows me to continue with the stuff I Already have.
These games are cheap, already. No thanks.
Skywalker saga is excellent, do try it. I have it already 😂
All of this stuff is on Switch, but either of Skywalker Saga and Ender Lilies could generally make a month on their own.
@themightyant Ah, nice. Metroidvanias aren’t my first choice but every now and then are good to mix in. Push Square didn’t review it so I wasn’t following it. But I think maybe they talked about it on Sacred Symbols briefly
When a Lego game is considered the highlight of the month, Sony we have a problem. Between this and last month, the only place to go in September is up....right?
@Vladspartan It's essential games like xbox games with gold/core pass, so that's not a fair comparison.
Worst month in years. Yeeeeesh, and I'm usually super positive!!!
Ender Lillies looks interesting. I like Lego games, but Star Wars doesn't do it for me.
Yet another Lego game... May as well just call PS Plus, PS Lego at this point..it's good if you're 9 years old I guess.
So much disappointment
Eh, not interested.
This selection looks good to me. Much better than most months.
Star Wars Lego is an impressive game if you haven’t played it.
Definitely give the Lego a crack, but I’ve so many games to catch-up on (4 are still sealed).
I don’t think gaming has ever been so exciting and I grew up with the spectrum 48k. If I were a kid I’d never be able to sleep.
Ender Lillies has been sitting on my wishlist for a long while for a day when I needed a new Metroidvania. So one out of three games is better than most months.
Same as always. Bunch of trashes.
Awesome about Security Breach. After I saw the movie last year I spent a pan gift card on the first 6 fnaf games and played through all 6 in a month. Kept wanting to pull the trigger on Security Breach but didn't. This is the one I've been really wanting to play!!! Good month for me
@FEWGEE1 plenty of older people love Lego games and they've offered hundreds if not thousands of games over the years. So that's an exaggeration if I ever saw one. They probably gave away just as many Assassin's Creed games through plus.
Has this site not played Ender Lillies?!? It's incredible, one of the best modern Metroidvanias with more heart and soul than most games ever have.
Recommend this one. Strongly
I continue to be glad I unsubbed.
I heard good things about Ender Lilies so i wanna try it. And i always enjoy Lego games whenever i want to relax after playing hours of fighting games or survival horror games.
@FEWGEE1 Since when Lego has an age limit?
LEGO games are always pretty solid but if you’ve played one you’ve basically played them all and I’ve played a few of them. I’m not interested in either of the other two games so not a very good lineup for me, personally even though I might put the LEGO game in my library for a rainy day, so to speak….
Another PS-. Glad I didn't renew.
Oh good! Three games and I don’t already have any of ‘em, and two out of the three are ones I’ll definitely try. Not sure what that Elderberry Lillies game is all about, though. Sounds kinda fruity. 😜
Stop with the Lego please!!
What an underwhelming line up
@atthegates
Those games seem like the go-to whenever PlayStation is thinking about what "family friendly" title to add.
Must be Lego months because there's a lot of Lego games on Switch that are ending in 2 days on sale. Glad I dropped my subscription was only playing Helldivers 2 but got it on PC and I don't have to pay monthly to play it.
Really are crap games
Could of chosen a vr version of fnaf to go with the discount. Saying that I don't know what fnaf is 😂
Have been waiting on Lego Star Wars for ages. May also try Ender Lilies at some point. Excellent month for me.
@ATaco Yeah that seems to be the case. Sick to death of em at this stage.
Could quite possibly be thee worst month and normally I'm here defending it.
Not only are these games cheap but if skywalker is the headliner, o my o my o my.
It was probably the biggest bore fest I ever sat through. Cant comment on the others but non of them peak my interest and they may others.
Really poor month.
For the cost of the service, they could at least add a better selection of games.
Highly recommend Ender Lillies. Great month for those who have not played it.
Ender Lillies has been on my radar since they announced it. I'm happy I can finally try it.
@IOI every month someone says this. Congratulations and goodbye.
@ErrantRob This does stand out against the others. I will check it out!
Is there some reason they refuse to give us knack 2? Its been like a decade since it came out.
August will be a great PS+ month for me imo, can't wait!
I love LEGO, FNAF, and I'm eager to try out Ender Lilies.
3 games I won't be adding
Nothing of interest but I have tons of previous months games to get on with so it's no biggie, first month in a long long time where there's nothing for me but …..........the extra games haven't been announced yet
It's a great month, Lego Skywalker Saga is a great game, i spend more than 80h with it and I had a great time
Ender lilies is a game that I have in the radar for some time but always I finished playing other game, is a welcome addition taht I will try for sure
And the Freddy's one, i have no idea, and I have not interest in it but it's a popular saga
Great month overall
Well, whaddaya know, finally a useful monthly offer!
Gonna get Lego Star Wars for my son.
He'll have plenty to chew on until Astro Bot comes next month.
Star Wars- have it
Freddy- I’m not 12 years old
Ender Lilies- never heard of it so I guess I’ll try it 🤷♂️
Worst month in a long time for me. You can tell that the kiddies are on holidays, lol.
@Cherip-the-Ripper I think it's to line up with the 10th anniversary, which is this month
I thought after complaints about among us that they were doing something better to compensate. For me personally this is an awful lineup. But that's just like, my opinion man
Usual cartoony trash
