![[Revised Title] Winners Announced for FREE GAMES Giveaway: IREM Collection Volume 3 (PlayStation)](https://www.screenchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Revised-Title-Winners-Announced-for-FREE-GAMES-Giveaway-IREM-Collection-360x180.jpg)
As we hit the fifteenth year of PlayStation Plus — can you believe it? — there’s some cool stuff lined up for members. This August, you can dive into some serious gaming madness.
Have you ever nailed a brutal finisher in Mortal Kombat 1? It’s like, wow, right? And then swing around Marvel’s New York as Spider-Man. Yup, you too can be the iconic web-slinger — minus the actual webs. Plus, ever tried to fight off aliens swarming in? Earth Defense Force 6 has you covered. All this goodness, and more, dropping in the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog. Sword of the Sea’s making a splash too. Never thought surfing could be so epic. Oh, and if you’re into retro vibes, Resident Evil 2 and 3 bring the survival horror feels. All this kicks off August 19* — mark those calendars!
And get this, on the same day, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is ready for PlayStation Plus Deluxe folks. You get up to 5 hours free to see if it’s your thing. Buy it? Your progress saves. Handy, huh?
Now, let’s chat about Mortal Kombat 1. After the intense ending of Mortal Kombat 11, Fire God Liu Kang (god of fire, just try saying that five times fast) is trying to chill out Earthrealm. It’s crazy cinematic this time. Unexpected friendships, rivalries, all-new backstories. Possibly mind-blowing. And don’t forget those bone-crunching fatalities. Yep, crunch.
Important detail: Mortal Kombat 1 is available in Singapore on August 13 and August 19 elsewhere in Southeast Asia.
Moving on, Spider-Man fans, here’s something for you. Insomnia games and Marvel cooked up this Spider-Man adventure where Peter Parker’s juggling crime-fighting and his oh-so-chaotic personal life. Sounds exhausting, huh? PS5 players can grab Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered. PS4 folks, you get the Game of the Year Edition. Both dropping worldwide August 19.
Sword of the Sea? Picture surfing on sand waves with a cool Hoversword. Skateboard meets snowboard meets surfboard. Boards all around! Remember this date — August 19.
Alien battles in Earth Defense Force 6 are setting up shop three years post-catastrophe. Humans = nearly wiped out. Exciting, right? Go solo or co-op because what’s humanity without team spirit? August 19 it is, except if you’re in Singapore. Then it’s August 26.
This one sounds fancy, Unicorn Overlord. Vanillaware is giving us fantasy RPG feels. Strategize, fight, explore. It’s a royal adventure. Again, August 19, worldwide.
Atelier Ryza 3: Jump into this final adventure. Islands near Ryza’s home? Sketchy territory with threats and mysteries like the “Code of the Universe”. Sounds like your next quest. Oh, but if you’re in Singapore, hang tight until September 9.
Now, Indika. A nun’s journey, talking to the devil? Cue the plot twist! Expect a mix of comedy and tragedy, Dostoyevski-style. Seriously intriguing stuff. August 19, worldwide.
Harold Halibut, a story about life on a spaceship-under-the-sea. Harold’s out here questing away, looking for a dryer planet. Ah, the irony. Drops August 19, unless you’re in Singapore (then it’s September 9).
Finally, Coral Island. Ditch the big city, and embrace the farm life. Dream farm, dream life. Tend, craft, relax — redefine your own paradise. August 19 release, folks.
Long story short, there’s a lot happening, and now’s the time to grab those controllers — wait, did I forget something? Never mind. Just go play!
