Included in August’s line-up is Five Nights At Freddy’s: Security Breach, Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights and the game we’re talking about today, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga collects the galaxy-spanning adventures of all nine mainline Star Wars movies, and while it doesn’t go as in-depth into each story as LEGO Star Wars The Complete Saga did, it’s still a grand old time.

It’s also the first LEGO Star Wars game to boast open-world exploration, with players having free range over a number of planets and locations like Tatooine and Coruscant.

There’s a grand total of 384 characters to play as, not including all the different starships you can unlock as well.

It’s a great addition to PlayStation Plus, and one all subscribers should add to their library whether they’re fans of the franchise or not.

Fans were thrilled with the new addition, with one on a Reddit thread saying “I have been putting off buying Lego Star Wars for MONTHS. Hell yeah.”

Then another player said “I almost bought the Skywalker Saga a couple of weeks ago when it was 17$, I thought the release of extra could be soon, glad I waited.”

The other games also went down a treat, with one subscriber saying all three “fall into that perfect sweet spot of 'would never buy but looking forward to trying for free.’”

LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga will be available for free on PlayStation Plus from 6 August, don’t miss out.
