Until Sony announces the free PS Plus games for August 2021, it will remain unclear ifHunter’s Arena: Legendsis supposed to be the free PS5 game or one of the free PS4 games. But it really wouldn’t be surprising ifHunter’s Arena: Legendscounts as the free PS5 PS Plus gamefor August 2021. After all, it would be continuing a trend that has held true since Sony launched the PlayStation 5 last year and started releasing free PS5 games through the service.

For the most part, Sony has stuck with a specific theme when it comes to thefree PS5 PS Plus games: almost all of them have been new releases, making their PS Plus debut at the same time that they released for their console in the first place. Considering this, it seems highly likely thatHunter’s Arena: Legendsis the free PS5 PS Plus game for August 2021, though fans should still wait for some clarification on that.
