Sony has unveiled the August offerings for their PlayStation Plus service, which comprises a variety of unique games without a standout star. Included in the selection is the mesmerizing Zelda-like adventure Death’s Door and the under-the-radar golf simulator, PGA Tour 2K23. The offerings also feature Media Molecule’s enduring game-creation platform, Dreams.
Dreams is an application that encourages community collaboration and builds upon the initial level-creation tools introduced in the LittleBigPlanet series. Users have exploited this system to produce everything from immersive VR experiences to high-quality CGI films. In fact, Sony has even allowed some of the platform’s more notable creators to monetize their creations.
However, Sony has announced that they will halt the release of updates for Dreams later this year, signaling the winding down of the platform. With the inclusion of Dreams in the PS Plus lineup, users will get to enjoy a final celebration of the platform. The closing act for this month’s releases is another game from Media Molecule, Tren, which was fully developed within Dreams. Exclusive to Dreams, Tren is a train-centric adventure game that Sony describes as a “nostalgic adventure that casts you as the driver of an extraordinary toy train, narrating a personal journey about maturing and the transformative impact of play.”
These games will be available starting August 1st, while players have until the end of July to pick up soon-to-expire titles such as Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Alan Wake Remastered, and Endling – Extinction is Forever.

Finally, some good games coming to ps plus! Been waiting for Deaths Door. just hope sony’s got something planned to replace Dreams…
awww man, i’m gonna miss Dreams. spent so many hours creating my own stuff there. well, all good things come to an end, i guess… still, pumped for PGA Tour 2K23! Let’s hit the green!
Seriously Sony?? stoppin updates for Dreams? Not cool. But hey, at least we’re getting some pretty good games next month… silver linings, i guess.
Just when I started getting into Dreams, they announce it’s ending… such a shame. On the bright side, Deaths Door looks amazing! Can’t wait for August 1.
