PS4: WipEout and Sniper Elite are your PS Plus August free games!

Omega Collection is actually a remaster of three games in the legendary WipEout franchise — PlayStation Vita launch title WipEout 2048, PlayStation 3 instalment WipEout HD, and its expansion HD Fury.

The title comes with nine game modes, 46 unique ship models and 26 unique tracks, and players can play together either online or in local split-screen mode. Designed to run at 4K on the PS4 Pro, it was originally released for the platform in June 2017.

Meanwhile, Sniper Elite 4 — from British developer Rebellion — is a third-person shooter that mixes tactical and stealth elements. Released in February 2017, it sends players to Italy in 1943.

With larger maps featuring verticality, better AI and more open-ended gameplay, it won a IGDA award for visual Design and was well-received by critics.

Both games will be available to download and play starting August 6, 2019. PlayStation Plus costs $9.99 per month, with a three-month option for $24.99 and a 12-month option for $59.99.
