Sony just announced the games for PS Plus Essential coming next month. The games will be available between August 1st and September 4th for all PS Plus subscribers, regardless of tier. We got 3 very different titles this month, with a bonus one included within Dreams (more details below).

This is also your last chance to get last month's free games, as they won't be available starting July 31st.

Descriptions taken from the linked article. Game sizes provided by PlayStation Game Size on Twitter. Without further ado, let's get into the new games!

PGA Tour 2K23

  • PS4 : 21.542 GB
  • PS5 : 14.169 GB

"Take your skills on the PGA Tour and become the next FedExCup Champion as you compete against Tour pros and establish new rivalries. For the first time, play as male and female pros including Tiger Woods, in online and local play. Level up your MyPLAYER with new Skills and Archetypes and bring the swag to the green with new licensed gear and apparel. Run your own online societies to manage tournaments and seasons or test your skills against your friends in Divot Derby and Casual mode. Create your own dream course with the Course Designer, which features thousands of customizable objects and cross-platform sharing."

Dreams

  • PS4 : 10.794 GB

Note: Support for Dreams will end on September 1st. While you'll still be able to create, download and share games, it will not receive any more updates and events.

"Dreams is an extraordinary, ever-expanding game universe from the award-winning Media Molecule, creators of LittleBigPlanet and Tearaway, where you can discover community-made games from around the world… and learn to make your own. The latest evolution of the studio’s Play, Create, Share maxim, Dreams gives you the opportunity to unleash your creativity. Bring your ideas to life with innovative, easy-to-use tools, then share them with a global community. Whether you want to create games, music, paintings, animation, sculpture, movies or anything in-between, Dreams is an extraordinary digital playground where anything is possible."

Tren

This is a bit of an odd one. This is a game made entirely in Dreams by the same dev team that will release officially, apparently within Dreams itself, on August 1st. Below is a trailer, but it won't premiere until tomorrow.

"As part of Dreams coming to PlayStation Plus, Media Molecule’s latest game, Tren will be available to play in Dreams. Tren is a nostalgic adventure that puts you in the driving seat of a remarkable toy train, and tells a personal tale about growing up – and the transformative power of play."

Death’s Door

  • PS4 : 3.776 GB
  • PS5 : 852 MB

"Experience a somber yet darkly comedic tale, utilizing melee weapons, arrows, and magic to overcome a fantastic array of beasts and demigods in this isometric action adventure. Gain an edge by customizing your character stats and mastering the abilities and upgrades you obtain as you explore a land full of twisted inhabitants and countless secrets, bringing hope to the weird and wonderful characters you’ll meet along the way."
