PS Plus Essential Games for September 2023 Announced | Push Square

The second wave of games coming to throughout the final weeks of September 2023 have been announced. Once again there are a couple of AAA day-one releases, meaning the rest of the list is somewhat lacking. The good news is that those games include Lies of P and Payday 3.

Sony's second general State of Play presentation of 2023 had roughly half an hour's worth of new PS5, PSVR2, and PS4 reveals to share with those watching, but if you didn't tune in, this Round Up article is your best bet for getting caught up in full. Below you'll find all the news shared during the latest State of Play livestream. Click on every link for information covering trailers and key details.

As massive Vanillaware fanboys, we think September's PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium update is especially tasteful, but as always, we want to know what you think of the selection. Just to recap, this month's line-up is headlined by NieR Replicant, Star Ocean: The Divine Force, and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. And then you've got a whole bunch of other Star Ocean titles, most of Vanillaware's back catalogue, and a handful of interesting indies, like Unpacking and Call of the Sea.

NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… leads the pack of new titles coming to the PlayStation Plus Extra and Deluxe/ Premium catalogue, this month. Starting September 19, all higher-tier PS Plus members can delve into a post-apocalyptic realm where machines and androids are stuck in a proxy war, and follow a brother's quest to cure his sister Yonah from a life-threatening disease. Fight back sickness-ridden monstrosities through a customisable blend of magic and swordplay, all the while accompanied by a talking book. NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… will be available on the PS4. Another standout this month is Unpacking, a calm puzzle game where you pull possessions out of cardboard boxes and decorate homes — jumping in time and across houses to slowly unspool an intimate story. It's out on PS4 and PS5.

It wasn’t long ago that we reported on the leaked list showcasing a few games coming to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog.

Sony is primed and ready to deliver a new State of Play livestream in September, if new rumours are to be believed. Jeff Grubb of Giant Bomb took to Twitter overnight to share he's heard «a State of Play is coming», and given Sony's recent track record of hosting events like the PlayStation Showcase in September, it seems like we're only a few weeks away from the company's next info dump.
