Sure, there is a lot of PlayStation Plus advantages for subscribers, and they look forward to the free games every month.  This month features the usual two free games for the PS4, PS3, and Vita, and it also feels special access to the new game Paragon before it is released into beta.  As for August 2016, there are some predictions for that based on what has come before. 

For the PS4, there is Furi, which is a kind of hack-and-slash action game described on the Steam Store with one simple sentence: "the jailer is the key, kill him and you'll be free".  Furi is also very simple to learn, but very difficult to beat, which makes it great fun for advanced gamers. 

The PS4 also has Saints Row: Gat out of Hell.  It is an open-world sandbox setting of New Hades, which focuses on the world of the Third Street Saints in a game that is a stand-alone epilogue to Saints Row IV.  This one has a lot of spiritual heaven and hell stuff in it. 

As for the PS3, there are also two games that include Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood.  This game is also from a franchise, but this takes place in the Old West.  It involves the McCall brothers who stand to kill anyone who want to get in the way of the legendary Gold of Juarez.

Also available for the PS3 is Fat Princess, which is an action real-time strategy video game that is available exclusively for the PlayStation network.  It is a multiplayer game that is good for up to 32 players to rescue the princess to bring her back to the team's base. 

The PlayStation Vita has two games with Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines, which is a Japanese role-playing game.  The other is part of a big video game franchise with Prince of Persia: Revelations, an action adventure game.

In addition to all of the free games, PlayStation Plus members also get early access to a new game known as Paragon before it hits the open beta on August 16, according to the official PlayStation blog.  PlayStation Plus members can also have three Master Challenges for the heroes Gadget, Murdock, and Rampage.

As for what is available for free to play for the next month of August, that is difficult to say.  Generally, there is a way to predict what games will be free by what is coming out later.  So, for example, some games coming out in September 2016 include XCOM 2, Bioshock: The Collection, Final Fantasy 15, and NBA 2K17.  You might want to see if XCOM, some version of Bioshock, an older version of Final Fantasy, or an old version of NBA 2K will be available in August.
