Free PS Plus games for August: Hunter's Arena: Legends, Plants vs. Zombies shooter, and more
The free PS Plus games for August 2021 are official, and the leaks were right: it's time for a fresh take on battle royale, plant combat, and tennis.
The list of free PS Plus games for August 2021 is back down to three, since Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown is finally bowing out after its two-month window: on PS5 and on PS4 this time you can pick up Hunter's Arena: Legends, while on PS4 (and also PS5 through backwards compatibility) you can play both Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville and Tennis World Tour 2 on your own or locally with friends.
The next set of free PS Plus games will go live on Tuesday, August 3, and they'll be available to claim through Monday, September 6. If you haven't picked up the set of July titles yet (there's a full list at the bottom of this article), make sure you grab them before the changeover occurs on August 3.
Free PS Plus games for August 2021
Hunter's Arena: Legends (PS4, PS5)
This 30-player online fantasy game fuses battle royale competition with PvE elements: delve into dangerous dungeons and slay the demons inside to level up and earn powerful loot, then return to the surface and use your new abilities and gear to take on your human competitors. Unlike many of the PS5 highlights for free PS Plus games, you can also get this one on PS4.
Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville (PS4)
The online battle between flora and the forces of the undead returns in this sequel to Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare. Roam around social spaces with your customized character between matches, then drop into battle online or in couch co-op with friends. Plants vs. Zombies never seemed like the kind of series that was begging for a shooter spinoff, but it turned out to offer a ton of fun and family-friendly action.
Tennis World Tour 2 (PS4)
Tennis World Tour 2 lets you play as a pro or build your own racket-wielding contender to take on both casual and ranked play. Slip into career mode to navigate the world of equipment and sponsorship deals as you play your way to the top, or just get a few casual singles or doubles matches online or locally. In short, it's tennis, but on your PlayStation 4.
