Sony has officially revealed the PlayStation Plus lineup for September 2025, and subscribers across all tiers—Essential, Extra, and Premium—are in for a treat. With a strong mix of blockbuster hits, beloved indies, and retro classics, this month’s offerings continue Sony’s strategy of delivering broad appeal while reinforcing the value of its multi-tiered subscription model.
For PlayStation Plus Essential members, three games will be available for download starting September 3:
- Ghostwire: Tokyo (PS5): The atmospheric action-adventure game from Tango Gameworks immerses players in a haunted version of Tokyo filled with yokai and supernatural forces. Players use elemental powers to cleanse the city in a fast-paced mix of exploration and magic-based combat.
- Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands (PS4/PS5): The Borderlands spin-off brings high fantasy and chaotic gunplay together in a tabletop-inspired adventure filled with bizarre characters and hilarious quests. It’s one of the most requested additions to the service and sure to be a co-op favorite this month.
- Gris (PS4): A visually stunning indie platformer known for its emotional storytelling and watercolor art style. Gris offers a short but memorable experience and rounds out the trio with a more meditative, artistic offering.
These titles will be free to claim for all subscribers until the end of September, and once claimed, they remain accessible for as long as your membership is active.
Moving to PlayStation Plus Extra, subscribers can look forward to an expanded library with the addition of some major AAA and critically acclaimed titles:
- Assassin’s Creed Mirage (PS4/PS5): Ubisoft’s return to the franchise’s stealth-action roots drops into the Extra catalog just months after launch. Set in ninth-century Baghdad, the game offers a more focused, narrative-driven experience that many longtime fans will appreciate.
- Stray Blade (PS5): A lesser-known but stylish action RPG that blends Soulslike combat with colorful visuals and a unique companion system. Its inclusion gives players a chance to try something new without committing to a full purchase.
- The Pathless (PS4/PS5): From the makers of Abzû, this open-world mythic adventure emphasizes fluid movement and exploration with no map or fast travel. Its focus on intuitive traversal makes it stand out in the crowded genre.
Lastly, Premium tier members will gain access to a curated batch of classic titles as part of the PlayStation Classics collection. Highlights this month include:
- Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3 via streaming): A fan-favorite FPS from the early PlayStation 3 era makes a rare reappearance.
- Jak X: Combat Racing (PS2): Naughty Dog’s action-racer hybrid finally joins the lineup with enhanced visuals and trophy support.
- Echochrome (PSP): A mind-bending perspective puzzle game that plays just as well on modern consoles as it did handheld.
The September lineup reflects Sony’s continued efforts to support a wide range of player interests, from AAA blockbusters to indie storytelling to nostalgic retro titles. Whether you’re in it for big-budget adventures or overlooked gems, PlayStation Plus continues to deliver a strong monthly value proposition for gamers of all stripes.
