Three new games will soon be added to PlayStation Now, starting from the 3rd August. This month's lineup is made up of NieR: Automata, Ghostrunner, and Undertale. That's a rather diverse trio.
Action RPG NieR: Automata is available for a good few months, while Ghostrunner and Undertale are permanent additions (at the time of writing).
At a glance, August's PS Now games are:
- NieR: Automata - Until 1st November 2021
- Ghostrunner
- Undertale
Meanwhile, two games are leaving PS Now this month, on the 2nd August. They are Jump Force and WWE 2K Battlegrounds.
As always, you can check out our massive list of All PlayStation Now Games for more information on the service itself and the PlayStation titles that it has to offer.
A relatively small update for PS Now this August then, but are you happy with these additions? Give us an honest opinion in the comments section below.

Not buying Undertale has finally paid off! I've been wanting to try it since a lot of people say it's good, but haven't since it kinda seems like a bad game.
There are more than 2 games leaving/left this month
Seems like PS NOW is slowly turning into a more competitive service. Definitely better then PS Plus this month that's for sure. Hoping Sony combines them both to compete with gamepass in the near future.
Why couldn't those have been the Plus games for this month....?
@mrtennis1990 I think they still need to make PS Now into a service where you can fully download all the games on it instead of just streaming.
@DominusPlatypus agreed!
Wonder if this is a sign of the next thing Sony's following MS in - putting the quality games now on PSNOW...lowering the quality on PsPlus... Interesting.
PS Now is on the come up! Ghostrunner looks awesome can't wait to try it. Nier Automata is excellent as well may jump back into that soon
If this is a sign Ghostrunner is destined for PS+, I'm excited. Lol
Nier Automata is really incredible. Do play it.
@DominusPlatypus yeah if they could get PS3 games on download it would see a serious up take
Waiting for people to complain that this is a bad selection too
have nier, as should everyone - but a great addition for those who (somehow) don't! psyched to see ghostrunner, glad i held out on buying it. glad to see a solid month on PSNow, especially when the Plus lineup is... what it is.
@Kopite @DominusPlatypus That’s quite literally impossible without porting every single PS3 game to PS5. Emulation is not stable enough for Sony to put their name to it. I’m not sure how you think they’re supposed to just let you download PS3 games.
@Kopite And getting some ps5 games on there couldn't harm. You cant even apply free ps5 upgrades to the games that have them when downloaded from Now. That's disappointing.
Are these games available for download, streaming or both?
Trash, more glad of the Plus games!
@nessisonett did I say they should just let you download PS3 games? no I didnt. I said if they could get it so they could download them there would be an uptake in the service, relax a little bit.
Are they ever going to add any more PS3 games? The lack of Tools of Destruction is a glaring omission next to all the other Ratchet games that are on there.
@DominusPlatypus that'll have to wait until mid gen at the earliest honestly. PS3 emulation isn't happening on PS4, and even on PS5 it'll take work.
@Kopite There’d be an uptake in Mars bars if they cured cancer. Doesn’t mean it’s feasible.
Good month for me as I've not played any of em!
@Milktastrophe Wish I had'nt bought into the hype, its a prettt bad game.
Oh wow, so glad I didn't buy Ghostrunner a few days ago! That's a welcome surprise and I'll definitely play it.
Already plat'd Nier Automata (went quite beyond the trophy list in fact) and I've played Undertale to death, but those are two very good games to add indeed. PS Now has been kicking Plus' ass for a couple months now.
Good lineup! Play Ghostrunner!!!
Nice month. Definitely going to play Ghostrunner.
@nessisonett yeah there probably would be
I would play Ghostrunner but the PS5 version comes out next month and ive been waiting for that so i'll skip downloading and playing the PS4 version on PS Now. Good month but nothing for me in terms of new releases considering ive already played the other two games listed.
Dear PS Plus subscribers,
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sincerely,
PS Now
@-Sigma- I was just about to ask actually. Would the Now version be upgradeable? I'm going with no but thought I'd ask. It's not a biggie though as I think they added in a performance mode for Pro.
@JB_Whiting Not that I know of. I haven't seen a game do it yet. Not when the upgrade is down the line(meaning not day one with the release of it appearing on PS Now). Nioh 2 does but that all arrived on the service at the same time. Maybe they will update it now that I really think about it lol.
PS Now has become so much better than PS Plus. Sony should merge the two services and just be done with Plus.
Oh wow... dang it Sony!! Making me want to spend my money and stuff! That's genuinely a good addition. I played Nier last month and it jumped to my personal top 10 of all time.
@Pat_trick AMEN!! Having the two separate services is just dumb.
Ps now coming in clutch for August. Thank goodness I never played automata lol
@ATaco Good heavens. Somebody who hasn't played Nier automata. Anyways, if you're serious, just know the third campaign is an experience of a lifetime, so BEYOND incredible that I don't think I'll ever forget a certain character in my life. Most people, unfortunately, probably never discovered it due to weirdo Japanese developers putting the best parts in such a hidden manner. If you decide to quit before the third campaign, WATCH it on youtube because, again, I promise you the third campaign is something very VERY special.
I’m happy with this month over last months. Rdr2,godofwar,Witcher, we’re all great games but I feel everybody has played them.I think these games aren’t as big but will be new to a lot of people
@reek I dunno, I've just always found Platinum games kinda overrated but I've heard nothing but praise for this one so I'm willing to jump in with an open mind. Can't really argue with the low low cost of free with my subscription.
@PhhhCough
Every PS4 game on the service, including these, are available to download. It’s crazy that Sony haven’t put any marketing effort into making this clear for people. It’s been the case for years.
I'm glad I waited for Ghost runner so shall download that now.
@ATaco Yeah, you'll find it overrated and mediocre ( I know I did). The first two campaigns are exactly that apart from the music. Just know that the actual game is locked up in the third campaign and again, trust me, That's an experience you don't get otherwise. Missing out on that is like missing out on something very very memorable. Admittedly, the first two boring campaigns are what lead to the third one so it's very sad to see people missing out on something that unique.
@Jacko11 it isn't...ps plus's are
Anyone else not able to download Undertale? I'm able to download the other new games but says Undertale is unavailable.
I know Undertale was delisted or whatever in the past week or so, but I figured that was because the PS Now deal was finalized so the dev pulled it to prevent people from buying and then getting pissed off when it was added to Now.
@thefourfoldroot I know, right? I didn't know what was streaming and what was downloadable. Thanks for the clarification.
Been planning to play Judgment and Nier for ages, so PS Now has really come up trumps lately.
@thefourfoldroot yes PS Now is a massive marketing failure. A shame as there is a fair amount of good stuff on there. Needs a relaunch and maybe a new name even.
@DominusPlatypus they’ll never be able to do that for ps3 as the PS4 cant run the games from its own hardware or emulation so it actually needs to stream them directly from remote ps3 hardware.
