August’s PS+ titles include Wipeout and Sniper Elite

Some solid titles round out the summer selection of freebies for PlayStation Plus subscribers. Fans get Sniper Elite 4 and Wipeout Omega Collection.

Winding down

We’re just kicking off the final month of what most people consider to be summer time in the northern hemisphere (sorry September), and Sony is going out with a bang.

Though there are only the usual two games in the “free” mix, they’re actually both pretty good. And in the case of Sony’s futuristic racer, there’s quite a bit of content to play through too.

WipEout Omega Collection

Combining WipEout 2048, WipEout HD and the HD Fury expansion into one turbo-charged package, Wipeout Omega Collection brings the breakneck speed and combat thrills of the anti-gravity racing franchise to PS4. 

Race against the clock and other competitors to take home a podium win, unlocking dozens of ships as you progress through 26 tracks. Competition gets fiercer online*, with eight players duking it out in high-speed circuits. Alternatively, you can go one-on-one with a friend on the couch.

Those looking for the ultimate thrill can also experience the entire game, including all modes and tracks, in PlayStation VR.

Sniper Elite 4

Slip behind enemy lines and work to drive out Axis forces from the Italian peninsula. Scout huge, varied environments as a covert operative and take out enemies before
setting up the perfect hit on high-value targets.

Use a mixture of traps and explosives, hazardous environments, melee takedowns and, of course, your trusty rifle to sow chaos in enemy strongholds. For even greater strategy, team up with a friend online* to take down targets in the co-operative campaign mode or enjoy dedicated co-op missions for two to four players and competitive multiplayer modes for up to 12 players.

Both of the above will be available for download from the 6th of this month (August 2019) through September 2nd.
