August dates for PlayStation Plus Extra
Three dates structure this wave of additions:
- August 12, 2026: Helldivers 2 joins the catalog.
- August 18, 2026: the other titles are announced for this date, unless otherwise stated.
- August 25, 2026: Hell is Us, Umamusume Pretty Derby – Party Dash, Two Point Museum, Metro Exodus and Dying Light 2 are announced in the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan.
The post does not confirm a separate French date. The local PlayStation Store is therefore still needed to check each title’s availability. French confirmations can be followed in the latest video game news.
Games announced for the Extra and Premium catalogs
The announced selection includes several types of games. Helldivers 2 starts the wave, followed by Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Vampire Survivors, Hell is Us, Umamusume Pretty Derby – Party Dash, Two Point Museum, Metro Exodus and Dying Light 2.

What subscribers should check first
The comparison with Xbox Game Pass concerns only the subscription model; the PlayStation post does not announce a shared offer. Instead, it presents a selection spread across several dates. That schedule separates the arrival of Helldivers 2 from the rest of the catalog, giving subscribers a more precise view of when the games become available.
The practical check is the date and console. Helldivers 2 targets PS5. Vampire Survivors, Metro Exodus and Dying Light 2 are listed for PS4 and PS5, while Hell is Us and Two Point Museum require a PS5. In France, the local Store remains the authority on availability.
The announcement’s strength lies in the variety of formats and platforms. Its main limitation is regional availability. Since no price or discount is announced, the post does not make it possible to calculate savings for subscribers. It mainly helps plan downloads and distinguish Extra access from Premium access.
