The PS Plus Essential Games for August 2023 are now available to download, fresh trio of bundled in games that are headlined by the golf-tastic action of PGA Tour 2K23.
The PS Plus monthly games didn’t leak this time around so Sony got to announce things themselves. The trio of games can be downloaded via your PlayStation console right now but Sony have not updated the web store so do not try and download them from there as you will be charged actual money for them. The games are:
With fresh competition from EA’s returning golf series, 2K Games released PGA Tour 2K23 last year with some pretty integral changes to broaden the game’s accessibility. In our PGA 2K23 review, Nick said, “PGA Tour 2K23 is a good improvement over its last iteration, making things more accessible with the 3-Click system and the Topgolf mode. There’s still areas for improvement, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.”
Alongside that, MediaMolecule’s game-making game Dreams is also being given away within PS Plus Essentials. The game was a great showcase of their creative tool set that evolved out from LittleBigPlanet, but we never did get a PS5 native update before they moved on to working on their next project.
And finally Death’s Door is a fantastic adventure that really captured our hearts in 2021. With a few months as an Xbox exclusive, it flapped over to PlayStation a little in the year, but remains a must-buy for fans of Zelda-like adventures. In our Death’s Door review Dom said, “Death’s Door is an atmospheric adventure through an inviting fantasy world. It’s perfectly crafted, generously provisioned, and an instant indie classic.”
The games will be available to download until Wednesday 6th September.
