In the past few months, the monthly free Games with Gold list has been a little bit of a let-down, mostly because every time the team at Xbox announces the list of four games, just afterwards a new list of Game Pass titles comes along and blows it away. But August is looking pretty good, with some excellent titles and something for everyone.

As we close in on the month of August, Sony has announced plans for which free games you’ll get as part of your PlayStation Plus subscription for the upcoming month, and there’s a couple of PlayStation 4 games and one PS5 title coming up as part of the service.

For those who played ‘Forza Horizon 4’ the main question about the follow up, due in November this year, will be “why can’t I play it right now?”. It’s a hugely anticipated title, and looks to be a major showcase for the Xbox Series X, offering lifelike visuals, updated multiplayer modes, and it all takes place in Mexico. But now we know that the version of Mexico in ‘Forza Horizon 5’ will have 11 distinct biomes to explore.
