PS Plus Essential August 2025 reveal time, predictions and when you can play the PS5 and PS4 games
The games included in Sony's PS Plus Essential August 2025 line-up are set to be announced very soon, and players have been busy predicting what they could be. The PS Plus Essential games for August are soon to be unveiled, and enthusiasts have a fair inkling of what might be included. PS Plus gamers are coming down from quite the high, given their last release was rather significant. The PS Plus Extra and Premium July 2025 announcement not only confirmed that Abiotic Factor (which also featured in the second Xbox Game Pass July drop) and Planet Zoo were incoming, but it also stunned players by unexpectedly adding Cyberpunk 2077 to the mix. This surprise addition caused quite a buzz, as gamers either revisited or discovered the game for the first time, making it a memorable release. The Essential side has also been delivering, with the PS Plus Essential July 2025 games announcing the inclusion of Diablo 4 to mark the service's anniversary. As the PS Plus Essential August 2025 games draw near, fans are eagerly speculating about the potential additions to the service. Frequent correct predictor u/aristotlepoetics has taken to the PS Plus Essential August 2025 Reddit predictions thread, suggesting that the remake of Resident Evil 4, Topspin 2k25 and Cocoon could be added to the service. This could potentially create an incredibly impressive lineup, particularly as Resi 4 has established itself as top-tier quality in Capcom 's fantastic franchise revivals, and Cocoon is one of the most immersive, peculiar and captivating worlds that indie games have managed to craft in recent years. However, we won't know what's coming until the drop arrives, which fortunately isn't too far away. Here's the PS Plus Essential August 2025 reveal date.

PS Plus Essential August 2025 reveal date The PS Plus Essential August 2025 reveal date is scheduled for Wednesday, July 30 at 8.30am PDT / 11.30am EDT / 4.30pm BST. We know this because the PS Plus Essential games for any given month are announced on the last Wednesday of its preceding month, before being released on the following Tuesday, which in this case is Tuesday, August 5. The upcoming PS Plus Essential games have the potential to make a significant impact, especially after such a substantial Extra and Premium drop. We're keeping our fingers crossed that these predictions turn out to be accurate, even if there are few opportunities for us to play Topspin. But as they say, never say never.

Resident Evil and Silent Hill inspired indie horror launches at the end of July
Heartworm is a 90s-inspired survival horror game from solo developer Vincent Adinolfi and you can try the demo on Steam now before it launches at the end of the month. Heartworm, a bite-sized survival horror game from solo developer Vincent Adinolfi, is offering a sneak peek with a demo on Steam before its official launch at the end of the month. Heartworm is a 'lo-fi horror' set to release in late July, in a nostalgic nod to the 90s and draws inspiration from cult classics like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Project Zero. It promises all the beloved elements of these games, including door loading screens, a spooky mansion, plenty of puzzles, and a heroine dressed in the quintessential 90s outfit of a t-shirt, cargo shorts, and combat boots. Players will step into the shoes of Sam, a young woman grappling with her grandfather's death and seeking closure online – a decision that leads her to a mysterious mansion in the mountains rumoured to be home to something supernatural. Despite the glaring warning signs, Sam ventures forth armed only with a camera to fend off the eerie, static-like enemies. Don't anticipate AAA visuals with this one. This is a genuine throwback, though you can adjust the settings for a more contemporary feel; specifically a "modern control scheme with 3rd person over-the-shoulder aiming and optional classic tank controls." You can also choose "pixelation and retro effects" if you're keen to fully embrace that classic 90s horror atmosphere. What's more, multiple endings are on offer, so despite the relatively short four-to-six hour gameplay duration, there's plenty of replay value for completionists or those simply curious to explore every avenue of Sam's journey. But when precisely does Heartworm launch for your nostalgic trip? Here's everything you need to know.

While the store page hasn't revealed a specific time yet, Mirror Gaming has been informed it'll probably be around 9am PDT / 12pm EDT / 5pm BST. We'll double-check this nearer the date and update you if anything changes. A Heartworm demo is currently available on Steam if you fancy testing it before purchasing, and the game will launch in English, French, German, Latin American Spanish, Japanese, and Brazilian Portuguese.

How many Donkey Kong Bananza layers are there? Every playable area
Donkey Kong Bananza is home to a number of climes (and climbs), and each of them are stacked on top of each other on a journey down to the planet's core. (Image: Nintendo) Donkey Kong Bananza is a game with numerous layers to explore, and while they may not all be equally captivating, there's always a handful of Banandium Gems to discover. Unsurprisingly, Donkey Kong Bananza is enthralling gamers across the globe. When we found out that the Super Mario Odyssey team was behind this new destructible platformer, we instantly knew it would become a contemporary classic. Players are already taking Donkey Kong and Pauline on an immensely satisfying journey to the world's deepest corners. The game is making waves both in its literal destruction and its innovative gameplay features. Despite hopes for it to be among the Nintendo Switch 2 launch games, the excitement for this platformer hasn't waned as it joins the lineup of 2025's Nintendo Switch 2 titles. What's truly intriguing is the ability to spend hours smashing around in any given layer of the underground without ever growing bored. And if you do, there's a wealth of Donkey Kong Banaza layers to break through, each with unique climates, inhabitants and atmospheres. So, how many layers are there? Here's everything you need to know about the Donkey Kong Bananza layers.

Each of the Donkey Kong Bananza layers has its own unique function, such as the tutorial-style layout of Ingot Isle and The Divide's option of two different layers to reach. However, there are a total of 17 layers for you to delve into. You're not required to unlock a specific number of Banandium Gems from each layer to advance, so feel free to race through the game and Teeleport between layers to boost your stats. As you delve deeper, though, we recommend increasing your punch strength as the terrain becomes tougher. Here's a rundown of the Donkey Kong Bananza layers: Ingot Isle – Sublayers 1-10 – Sublayers 1-10 Lagoon Layer – Sublayers 100-102 – Sublayers 100-102 Hilltop Layer – Sublayer 200 – Sublayer 200 Canyon Layer – Sublayers 300-302 – Sublayers 300-302 The Divide – Sublayer 400 – Sublayer 400 Freezer Layer – Sublayers 500-503 – Sublayers 500-503 Forest Layer – Sublayers 600-602 – Sublayers 600-602 The Junction – Sublayer 700 – Sublayer 700 Restore Layer – Sublayer 800 – Sublayer 800 Tempest Layer – Sublayers 900-902 – Sublayers 900-902 Landfill Layer – Sublayers 1,000-1,001 – Sublayers 1,000-1,001 Racing Layer – Sublayer 1,100 – Sublayer 1,100 Radiance Layer – Sublayers 1,200-1,204 – Sublayers 1,200-1,204 Groove Layer – Sublayer 1,300 – Sublayer 1,300 Feast Layer – Sublayers 1,400-1,401 – Sublayers 1,400-1,401 Forbidden Layer – Sublayer 1,500 – Sublayer 1,500 Planet Core – Sublayers 1,600-1,609 Each layer in Donkey Kong Bananza has its own distinct features, and it's worth noting that some have fewer sublayers than others. So don't gauge your progress based on the layer you're on – and certainly don't assume there are only ten layers as some players have already discovered. There are plenty of Donkey Kong Bananza layers to explore, each offering different climates and opportunities to find those crucial Banandium Gems. So roll up your sleeves and start digging.

Fortnite OG Chapter 4 end date – your last chance to play before the incoming fifth season
The Fortnite OG Chapter 4 end date has been confirmed, meaning players don't have long left to complete the OG Battle Pass and experience Dusty Divot in its home season Fortnite is nearing the conclusion of two seasons, and OG players are running out of time to unlock the full OG pass and experience Dusty Divot in its prime season. Despite Fortnite OG not garnering the same attention it once did when it dominated entire Fortnite seasons and forced players into a nostalgic journey, the mode remains popular among those yearning for a return to the game's early days. OG Season 4 has been a hit, resurrecting Dusty Divot through a dramatic meteor strike, and reintroducing classic items like the Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle and Shopping Cart. There's no denying that the mode has been a hit with users, but as the Blitz Royale mode begins to draw focus and the Squid Grounds Reload takeover immerses fans into a fitting crossover, it's clear that the game needs to do something to retain its player base. Fortunately, the Fortnite live event start time is just around the corner, poised to reintroduce Blast Off back to the OG mode in an exclusive event that could spark a new trend of mode-specific experiences. We're hoping this might lead to some official Lego modes in the future, although we can't predict if they'll be the next big thing for the game. It'd be nice either way, especially considering how excited Fortnite is to be regarded as a platform akin to Roblox rather than just another live-service game. The end of Fortnite OG Season 4 is fast approaching, but when exactly should we brace ourselves for the farewell, and prepare for the departure of the Misty Mire POI? Here's what you need to know.

Fortnite OG Chapter 4 end date The Fortnite OG Chapter 4 finale is scheduled for Thursday, August 7 at 10.30pm PDT, and Friday, August 8 at 1.30am EDT / 6.30am BST. This timing has been confirmed by Epic Games on the Fortnite OG Battle Pass screen, aligning with the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 end date. This presents a fantastic opportunity for players to delve into the OG Battle Pass before it disappears, and it'll likely be enjoyable to simply roam around the island after the Blast Off event has wrapped up. Prepare to bid your nostalgia farewell for another season.

Battlefield 6 trailer countdown, release time and everything we know so far
It's official – we're getting our first look at Battlefield 6 this week with the release of the game's debut trailer. Find out when you can watch the Battlefield 6 trailer right here The much-anticipated return of the Battlefield series is on the horizon, with fans eagerly awaiting the first official trailer for this year's game, set to be unveiled on Tuesday, July 24. Battlefield enthusiasts are on tenterhooks for the Battlefield 6 trailer, which carries the weight of expectation following the disappointment of 2021's Battlefield 2042 – a title that failed to impress and marked the last face-off between Battlefield and Call of Duty. The prospect of Black Ops 7 clashing with Battlefield 6 promises to stir up some nostalgic excitement in the gaming community this year. Regrettably, the series has been on a downward trajectory, with recent instalments prior to Battlefield 2042 garnering lukewarm to poor critiques on Metacritic. On a personal note, I reckon Battlefield 3 was the last truly solid entry, and I've given up hoping for a revival of Bad Company, especially since we haven't seen a new addition since Battlefield: Bad Company 2 in 2010. While concrete details around Battlefield 6 are scarce, an open beta has been confirmed by the game's official Twitter feed, teasing that "Starting at Open Beta players can choose official playlists with Signature Weapons locked to class, or not". In a bold move, Battlefield Labs – the closed testing ground for Battlefield 6 – broke away from the traditional locked weapons system, which ensures players stick to their roles, opting instead for a more anarchic approach where any class can wield any weapon they fancy. In a bid to satisfy traditionalists, it launched Signature Weapons and traits, with a Reddit post from May providing more insight. Essentially, there are passive, class-specific traits, while certain classes will gain a class perk when using a weapon typically associated with that class – though anyone can use it. For instance, a Recon class player wielding a sniper rifle will be able to hold their breath (and stabilise their aim) for longer than an Assault class player using the same rifle. Despite players expressing their disapproval in the comments, it appears this overhauled class system will feature in the Battlefield 6 open beta. As for the open beta's launch date, the EA App disclosed the build date as Monday, August 4 (via Reddit), so we might see it go live sometime in August. We'll undoubtedly learn more tomorrow following (or during) the official Battlefield 6 trailer release, and here's precisely when that happens.

Battlefield 6 trailer countdown and release time The Battlefield 6 trailer is set to drop on Thursday, July 24, as confirmed by the game's Twitter account.. If you head over to the YouTube channel, the start time is scheduled for 7.57am PDT / 10.57am EDT / 3.57pm BST, but we've got the Battlefield 6 trailer countdown above for you to check how much time remains before it goes live in your area. We've embedded the YouTube video below, which should go live when the Battlefield 6 trailer is released on Thursday, July 24. The release date for Battlefield 6 may be revealed in the upcoming trailer, along with details about the open beta. However, according to rumours and leaks, the game is slated for an October 10, 2025 launch. This information comes from the 1BF Telegram Group (via Reddit), which mines data from Battlefield Labs for tantalising tidbits. Dataminer @temporyal has also contributed to the speculation, suggesting that while Battlefield 6 won't be free-to-play, it will feature a free-to-play battle royale mode - because we clearly don't have enough of those games around, do we?
