There\u2019s even talk of a pre-arranged PlayStation 5 \u2018blackout\u2019<\/a> to show Sony that people mean business. Many subscribers have cancelled their memberships already.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve cancelled yours it\u2019ll remain active until your next billing date, upon which no money will be taken from your account and your privileges will be revoked. But before that happens we sincerely hope you\u2019ll be able to be one of 2026\u2019s all-timers, which will be featured amongst the August Essential line-up.<\/p>\n Big Walk is going to be more than the next Peak, so it\u2019s not one to miss<\/p>\n The PlayStation Plus Essential games<\/a> on offer next month are Dying Light 2: Stay Human, Signalis and Big Walk.<\/p>\n They\u2019re all worth checking out, but the latter is a brand-new game being released as a day-one title, which is a rarity for PlayStation\u2019s subscription service.<\/p>\n Made by the same studio behind Untitled Goose Game, Big Walk is exactly what it says on the tin; a game about going on a big, long walk.<\/p>\n READ MORE: PlayStation PC exodus may have crippled Xbox Project Helix, new report suggests<\/a><\/p>\n Up to 12 players can group up for some co-operative fun, as you wander across the map and see what you can find.<\/p>\n There are no real \u2018goals\u2019 to think about. The open-world is massive and filled with interesting stuff to find and play with. Making your own fun is a core part of the experience, but if you\u2019d rather just set up camp by a scenic view and talk about life you\u2019re more than welcome to do that too.<\/p>\n Like all good co-op games nowadays there\u2019s proximity voice chat, and crossplay is supported between platforms so there\u2019s no excuse for not getting some friends together.<\/p>\n Big Walk probably isn\u2019t going to win any Game of the Year awards, but it\u2019s exactly the kind of game that goes viral for all of the right reasons. We think it\u2019s going to be a big hit, so we\u2019re excited to see it available on day-one for those who still have a PlayStation Plus subscription.<\/p>\n It\u2019ll launch for the service on the same day it launches worldwide, August 4, and in addition to PlayStation it\u2019ll be available on Xbox Series X\/S and PC and the Nintendo Switch 2.<\/p>\n We\u2019d also suggest trying Dying Light 2: Stay Human, especially when the first game was added to PlayStation Plus Extra this week<\/a>. Signalis is also a good shout, as it\u2019s one of the best horror games from 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n PlayStation still has a lot of work to do if it wants to repair its damaged reputation, and we wouldn\u2019t blame anyone for wanting to cancel their PlayStation Plus subscription and keep it that way.<\/p>\n Before your membership ends, though, try to play as many of these freebies as you can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PlayStation Plus has announced its August batch of freebies, and all things considered it\u2019s going to be a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":718883,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,954,127,1171,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-718882","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gb","tag-playstation","tag-playstation-5","tag-playstation-plus","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=718882"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718882\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/718883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=718882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=718882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=718882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Big](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/unnamed.png\"\/)
