New Additions to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog [August 2025]

Sure thing, here’s a raw and slightly chaotic version of the article:

So, Sony’s throwing some new stuff into the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog. Not just any games, mind you—Mortal Kombat 1, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and this thing called Unicorn Overlord. Honestly, I have no idea what that last one is about, but it’s got my curiosity piqued. Anyway, mark your calendars for August 19 if you’re into this kind of thing.

Oh, and quick note: these games are only for the higher tiers of PlayStation Plus—Extra and Premium. Sorry, basic members. Not today, I guess.

Mortal Kombat 1

Okay, so Mortal Kombat 1 is supposedly not getting new stuff anymore, but who cares? With those crazy, gory fatalities, it’s still a wild ride. Like, seriously, there’s something cathartic about it. Or is that just me?

Marvel’s Spider-Man

Swinging over to Spider-Man, they’ve got the Remastered version for us lucky PS5 folks. If you’re on PS4, you’re getting the Game of the Year edition. Not bad, huh? Spidey just never gets old.

Sword of the Sea

Into atmospheric stuff? Sword of the Sea might vibe with you. It’s got this cool, artsy look, kinda like Journey and ABZU. Makes sense since it’s the same maestro behind it. Artsy games for the win, right?

Earth Defense Force 6

Need some alien-blasting action? Earth Defense Force 6 has got your back. You can team up with friends or go solo and just let loose. Aliens beware. Or something dramatic like that.

Unicorn Overlord

Ah, Unicorn Overlord. Atlus and Vanillaware’s latest concoction. Tactical-RPG vibes—because every gamer loves strategizing with mythical creatures, apparently. It’s eccentric, and I’m here for it.

Atelier Ryza 3 Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key

Atelier Ryza 3 throws you into the Kark Isles with Ryza herself. It’s all about saving the hometown, which feels noble. Classic adventure vibes, I guess?

Indika

For those who love a good story, Indika’s a ride. You follow this young nun—plot twist: she meets the devil. Didn’t see that coming, did you? Stories can be wild like that.

Harold Halibut

So, Harold Halibut is this claymation game. I mean, who does that? But it’s got charm. It’s about friendship and a spaceship submerged in an alien ocean. Feels like it took forever to make, which probably means it’s heartfelt. Maybe.

Coral Island

Last up, we’ve got Coral Island. Escape the chaos of city life, get your hands dirty on a farm, meet the locals—it’s chill. Stardew Valley fans might dig this one.

Premium Exclusives

Alright, now for the fancy stuff: Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Both have this upgraded magic—up-rendering and all. You take on Raccoon City’s nightmares as Leon and Jill. Vintage horror vibes but with modern polish. So, yeah, buckle up if that’s your jam.

And there we go. Sony’s latest drop in a messy nutshell. Video games, man—a never-ending world of strange and fascinating adventures.
