PlayStation Plus has revealed the latest lineup of games under the mentioned program for August. As always, they have rolled out two games for each of their current consoles which can be downloaded for free by its subscribers. These games are "Patapon 3," "Ultratron," "Yakuza 5," "Retro/Grade," "Rebel Galaxy," and the recently released "Tricky Towers."

Developed by Double Damage Games, "Rebel Galaxy" is a space simulation game that was dished out January of this year for PlayStation 4. Players will assume control of a huge spacecraft which can be used for trading with fellow space explorers or battling it out against hostile beings aside from playing the game's actual missions. Just like the upcoming title "No Man's Sky," the game is also a procedurally-generated universe, meaning that every galaxy that a player explores will be different from the other.

Another PlayStation 4 title is the indie game "Tricky Towers" from game developer WeirdBeard Games. The game is similar to the classic "Tetris" but with a twist. Players will have to stack up blocks while at the same time interrupt other players' progress by casting magic onto their towers.

Moreover, an AAA game in the form of "Yakuza 5" can now be downloaded for free by PlayStation 3 owners. Developed by Sega, it came out three years ago. "Yakuza 5" is a free-to-roam action title in which players will assume the role of five protagonists in the game who are situated in different areas across Japan.
