15 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Announced for August 2024

Timesplitters makes this month good alone

No way, the premium list is for me. Timesplitters! And a vr game 🫡

Been wanting to play Cult of the Lamb for awhile so I’m pretty excited for this

Bummer, i was expecting another sly or ratchet and clank title :/

That's a lot of sword art online jeez

Already beat the incredible Witcher 3 on PS4, and then again on PS5.

But I'll be damned if I'll let a bunch of newbies play it for free without me joining the fun. Here goes playthrough #3

Timesplitters 2. Can't wait to have a blast on that

Definitely going to try out Cult of the Lamb. Also agreeing, that's a lot of Sword Art

Kind of curious about Wild Hearts but I, don't have a crew to play it with.

I'm genuinely surprised that the TimeSplitters news is buried in this article and not being treated like more of a big deal.

I was actually going to buy Cult of the Lamb earlier today when I saw it on sale so that’s a nice surprise.
Other than that a pretty mediocre month but might try one of the SAO games out.

All five people who haven't played The Witcher 3 are going to be losing their minds.

Either not bothered or already played all of these, but oh my christ am I excited to play Timesplitters again!

At this point, who hasn't played The Witcher 3? Another crap month.

Thus is a pretty decent line up in my opinion.

TIME TO SPLIT!

Timesplitters fans gather!!! Its our month😁

@EvenStephen7

RIGHT?!

These games were my childhood!

Platinuming all of them

it’s a decent month in my opinion

I've been off Extra/Premium for a while now, but very happy people will have the opportunity to play the GOAT: Witcher 3!

Solid month, Wild hearts looks interesting

@jeff19023 I haven't played The Witcher 3, been on my backlog for 8 years. In fact I'd estimate about 6.9 billion people haven't played it.

Never saw the hype of The Witcher 3. Tried it multiple times and it never clicked.

I'm going to try The Witcher 3 for the third time and hopefully I can get beyond the opening few hours this time...

Happy that all those Fortnite players can try out CDPR's version of the Geralt character that Epic created. And who knows, maybe then they will go on to read all of those books that followed that 😁

TimeSplitters a great addition!

@Rob3008 same. I know it's meant to be epic but never clicked for me. Still on the backlog.

do the timespliters games come with trophies ?

Timesplitters?!
OK. That's it. PS Plus Premium is finally worth it. Hopefully I can buy them too.

Great month. Already played Witcher 3, but Wild Hearts and Cult of the Lamb I’ll play (is wild hearts single player?), then Vacation Simulator. Will try out Timesplitters 2 (especially) for the nostalgia, and hang around if it has additional trophy challenges.

When Premium trumps Plus.

@trev666 We need this confirmation.

Looking forward to running through all 3 TimeSplitters games again. It’s been sometime!

@WhiteRabbit

I've read about them online. Apparently it's where you don't work 60 hours a week and drink on the beach or some such. I dunno, sounds grand though.

Timesplittterrrs! That's my weekend sorted 😁

Timesplitters! Yes! The moose is loose!

Excellent news, Timesplitters is the headline here but I am also chuffed with Ride 5 (4 was excellent) and another VR game makes me happy!

This is one hell of a lineup! Timesplitters is an awesome catch! And Cult of the Lamb is another great game!

@jeff19023 How is this a crap month? Some of the games may not be for you specifically, but there are a lot of great games on this list. The Witcher, Ride 5, Watch Dogs 2, Cult of the Lamb, Timesplitters. These are great games.

Wow. There was the rumour about the first Timespiltters game coming to Premium but I'm really pleased we're getting all three at once! Sony are making excellent PS2 choices, for me at last!

Decent line up! Still confused whenever we get these dumps such as five sword art online games.

At last....I can finally beat (or try) that level in Timesplitters where you have to kill 100 ducks within a certain time! Used to drive me insane!!!!! Time to kick the kids off the PS4 during the summer holidays whilst I catch up on my youth playing Timespiltters

Premium again outshining Extra. Starting to see a pattern.

@WhiteRabbit

I always figured it was just a myth, like the moon landing or home ownership. Thanks for confirming.

FINALLY. An actual good Premium month! All three TS games; I can't quite believe it.

weren't Witcher and Watch Dogs 2 games that were taken from the collection and now coming back? bringing back games to the collection kinda screws long time suscribers because we either already played the games or don't care about them

@Atreus97 I got the platinum for The Witcher III 5 times. Twice on my old PSN account. Then I changed accounts because Sony didn’t allow name changes at the time. Got the platinum twice more. Then got it once more after the PS5 upgrade release. Unfortunately, the PS5 upgrade doesn’t allow for an individual platinum on both the base game and the GOTY edition. If they did, it would be 6 times.

@DualWielding or we didn't get the chance to play/finish them the first time around.

Oh my god TimeSplitters. My life is complete.

Really weird list. SAO dominated and surprised they shot gunned blasted timesplitters all in same month rather than spread out

A pretty Unique/Diverse list. Love the Witcher although I already own it, and Cult of the Lamb is a amazing get. Watch Dogs 2 I do need to play at some point lol, I've started it twice.

I assume all of the SAO games are because they have a new one coming out this year so why not give everyone a chance to play one of the games before then.

I own Hollow Realization and Lost Song, along with Fatal Bullet(a lot of people say Song and Bullet are the best two). So hopefully I'll finally play one of them, I do like SAO.

Not too shabby. Been curious about Wild Hearts and Cult of the Lamb.

Sony having a rifle through the drawers in the office and clearing out the dross.

@Th3solution Me too, I thought your super power had come into play again and had bought them!

Absolutely nothing for us (me) non-subscribers.

After not paying for PS PLUS I suddenly find it LUDICROUS to pay to play online! You forget when you just used to top off on Black Friday for yet another year.

Is there a SAO game without Kirito?

Another terrible month. You're making it really hard to resub, Sony.

If all three Timesplitters games have trophies, my head will actually explode!

TIME TO SPLIT!

I heard good things about Wild Hearts but would likely never spend much for it, if anything. Seeing that pleases me.

Almost bought Cult of the Lamb last week

A truly excellent month.

We can buy Timesplitters games and not have to subscribe to play them?

They are not even trying at this point.

@JohnnyShoulder Putting them on my wishlist seems to have some effect. 😄

Do TS games have Trophies?.

Timesplitter's please have trophies!!!

I'll definitely download the Timesplitters games.

TimeSplitters, Sony making money again from old rope, these games should be free if you bought the original discs or bought them digitally.
Why do they keep making you pay for the same game again for each generation? All these games are backward compatible on Xbox, if you bought it once in a past generation you don't need to buy them again (or pay for a subscription) to play, plus many have FPS Boost etc added to them.

I already got Timesplitters on Xbox BC, so not really anything for me this month.

I really just want Ratchet & Clank. So...so much...

Cult of the Lamb has been on my radar for quite some time. Just never pulled the trigger on it. This is great news for me!

@Don yes usually you can buy them separately (I think only one or two games have not been sold).

@Barryburton97 it took a little to click for me as well, but when it did it clicked hard. It's now one of my all time favourites. Stick in there pal. If it works it's worth it.

@breakneck
Thank you for the confirmation. I was worried the Timesplitters games might be similar to “Resident Evil Director’s Cut” situation. I will definitely buy all three upon release.

I hope they add more ps1 games soon. It would be nice if they just released them more frequently instead of linking it to ps plus release schedule.

Wild Hearts performance mode is 1080p with issues... lol

@JimmyRiddle if you think timesplitters is dross you’re clearly new to gaming or about 12 years old.

Timesplitters wow, that game wowed me on ps2.

Wanted to try out Cult of the Lamb, nice.

Perhaps I might try The Witcher with PS5 visuals too... perhaps.

Lol at that person wanting a system where we insert PS2 Timesplitter discs into our PS5 to be able to play the new digital versions, absolutely clueless. Also, I don't recall these games ever being available digitally on a playstation system?

I've never played a sword art online game but i guess I'll try them now..

Thrilled about Timesplitters, I miss those games. Cult of lamb i heard was getting a 2 player couch mode so that's great timing. Witcher 3 i hope i still have my old save file.

Timesplitters 2 worth the fee alone

Nice. Something for most in there and several titles that will go on the ever increasing backlog list..

@TicklefistCP I thought that myself. Not much in the way of variation

@EfYI you’re complaining about getting nothing as a non subscriber from a SUBSCRIPTION service. Please tell me this me sarcasm

@Boucho11

Yes, it is a little bit of a joke. Certainly not real outrage, more of a happy statement that I timed my exit so that these past many months I haven't missed neither online functionality nor the library connected to my chosen tier.

Hope that cleared everything up for you in a satisfactory manner!

Just a quick edit: There's probably titles I would try if I did have a sub running. But nothing there will draw me back. Premium tier offers Timesplitters galore, and I played it at the time, and had my fill.

I find it quite torturous that they’re putting the Time Splitters games on. I wanted a remake so bad!

I bought a second hand copy of Time Splitters 2 a while ago. Sadly, it didn't work properly on my old PS2 console.

I'm really looking forward to being able to play this series again next week - via PSN. I've not actually played the very first one, so it'll be cool to play them in sequence.

@BolkaRover Nope, Timesplitters was one of the first games I bought on the PS2 and I suspect I’m probably older than you. It’s called having an opinion.
Edit: “ I’m 40 and don’t have time to play that often…” I was right.

@Atreus97 I own The Witcher 3 Complete on both Series X and PS5, yet unfortunately have yet to embark upon this outing as of yet but hope to in the near future
