The gaming landscape continually evolves, and Sony PlayStation is at the forefront, leading the charge with innovations and exciting additions to its gaming library. The recent update to the PS Plus subscription models, PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium, is a testament to this commitment.
A Whopping Twenty Titles to Choose From
September 19 marked a monumental day for PlayStation enthusiasts, particularly those with PS Plus Premium and Extra subscriptions. A total of 20 games were added to the lineup, available for both PS4 and PS5 consoles. While 16 of these games are accessible via the PS Plus Extra subscription, the remaining four are exclusive to PS Plus Premium members. Interestingly, these aren’t the customary PS1 or PS2 additions but are PS4 remasters or re-releases, enhancing the gaming experience for subscribers.
September 2023’s PS Plus Games
For those who haven’t yet claimed the free games for September 2023, there’s good news. Both the PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can still avail of titles like Saints Row, Black Desert: Traveler Edition, and Generation Zero. While these games might not be chart-toppers, Saints Row, in particular, has seen a resurgence in its player base. Despite a controversial launch and the subsequent closure of the game studio, PS Plus seems to have given the game a new lease on life.
