Summer heat bringing you down? Maybe it’s time to stay indoors, switch on the air conditioner, and play some games. Sony can help with that, with their announcement of the next line-up of PlayStation Plus free games August 2023 which will be available for download on Tuesday, August 1.

First, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s PGA Tour 2K23, the fifth installment in the PGA Tour 2K series. Grab your golf clubs and compete across numerous licensed courses to become the next FedExCup Champion. The game introduces Topgolf with both local and online competitive play with up to four players, and a Course Designer.

Next, also for both PS4 and PS5, there’s the 2021 action-adventure game Death’s Door by Acid Nerve. A sequel to the 2015 game Titan Souls, Death’s Door is a 3D isometric game where players arm themselves with a sword and bow, striking down enemies while also solving puzzles to complete dungeons.

Lastly, available only for the PS4 is Dreams, the 2020 game creation system developed by Media Molecule. Play through the game, create your own games and audio-visual experiences, publish them online, and have fun trying the experiences created by other players. The only limit is your imagination.

All three titles of the PlayStation Plus free games August 2023 have a platinum trophy to unlock.

Among these, PGA Tour 2K23 is perhaps the easiest game to platinum, particularly if you are already experienced with games in the series. You can set the difficulty down to easy, although this means you will need to grind longer for XP. Expect around 20-25 hours of gameplay for the platinum.

Death’s Door is generally a quicker game to platinum, taking around 15-25 hours. However, this is quite skill-dependent, and can get rather challenging with some of the boss battles.

Lastly, the platinum for Dreams is easy enough. However, you will need to grind your way to reach level 30. Expect around 40-50 hours to unlock the platinum.
