PS Plus August 2025 lineup ready for download

Capcom's classics join Sony's PS Plus lineup for August 2025, with strong showings for Extra and mixed responses for Premium.

PS Plus August 2025 Lineup Includes Spider-Man Remastered and Resident Evil

Capcom's classics join Sony's PS Plus lineup for August 2025. The PS Plus Extra tier adds Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered for PS5 and other titles, while PS Plus Premium brings PS1 classics Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 Nemesis to download.
A community poll by Push Square shows 57 percent of voters are happy with the Extra lineup, with Spider-Man Remastered the title most anticipated. In Premium, only 29 percent express happiness about the PS1 retro lineup, indicating mixed reactions among players who value older games.

The lineup highlights a broader trend in subscription services toward balancing nostalgia with new content. Sony appears to lean on familiar, high-profile titles for Premium while offering a stronger, more contemporary catalog in Extra. This split may keep long time subscribers engaged while attracting new players who want fresh gameplay first. If the mood shifts toward nostalgia, Sony may lean more on retro titles; if not, the emphasis could swing toward newer releases and expanded cloud options.

Highlights

The next move will reveal whether nostalgia can sustain a growing subscription in a crowded market.
