Sony and Microsoft have both announced the slate of August 2019 free games that will be available to subscribing PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live Gold members.
Two new titles will join the PlayStation Plus monthly games lineup on August 6-September 2. First up is the WipEout Omega Collection, which combines WipEout 2048, WipEout HD, and the HD Fury expansion into one package. Players will race against the clock and other competitors to take home a podium win, unlocking dozens of ships as you progress through 26 tracks. You can also experience the entire game in PlayStation VR. Next up is Sniper Elite 4, where players use a mixture of traps and explosives, hazardous environments, melee takedowns, and your trusty rifle to sow chaos in enemy strongholds.
PS Plus members still have a few days left to download July’s lineup, Detroit: Become Human Digital Deluxe Edition and Horizon Chase Turbo, before they leave on August 5. You can subscribe to PlayStation Plus via this link.
Xbox Live Gold members will receive four new free games — two on Xbox One and two on Xbox 360 — as part of the Games with Gold Program. On Xbox One, Xbox Live Gold members can download Gears of War 4 for free during the month of August. Forza Motorsport 6 will be available as a free download from August 16 to September 15.
On Xbox 360, starting on August 1, Torchlight will be free for Xbox Live Gold members through August 15. Then on August 16, Xbox Live Gold members can download Castlevania: Lords of Shadow for free through August 31. You can subscribe to Xbox Live Gold via this link.
