PlayStation Plus September 2026 Free Games Confirmed — Plus 7 PS Plus Extra and Premium Games Leaving Next Week

September PS Plus Games Are Here

Sony has confirmed the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for September 2026 and the lineup arrives at a strategically perfect time — September is the month Marvel's Wolverine launches on September 15, meaning PS Plus subscribers get meaningful free content to play in the weeks before and after one of the biggest PlayStation exclusives of the year. The September additions are available to download from the first Tuesday of September and remain in your library as long as your PS Plus subscription is active.

7 PS Plus Extra and Premium Games Leaving

The more urgent news for Indian PS Plus subscribers is the seven games leaving PS Plus Extra and Premium tiers next week. Push Square confirmed the departures, which give subscribers until the end of August to add the leaving games to their library before they are removed. Adding a game to your library before it leaves PS Plus means you can continue playing it as long as your subscription is active even after it leaves the catalogue — but you must add it before the removal date. Check the PS Plus catalogue now for the full list of departing titles and add anything you want to keep before the deadline.

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Joins PS Plus

One of the confirmed September additions to PS Plus Extra and Premium is Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy — the action-focused third entry in Asobo Studio's acclaimed series that launched August 27 the same day as the GTA 6 Extended Look. For subscribers who skipped it at launch due to the August 27 content overload, its arrival on PS Plus Extra in September gives a second chance to experience a game that has received genuinely strong word-of-mouth despite its unfortunate launch timing. The faster-paced, more action-oriented take on the Plague Tale formula is well-suited to players who want something atmospheric and narrative between now and GTA 6's November launch.

The October Transition

September's PS Plus lineup is the last major free games update before October — when Modern Warfare 4 launches October 23 and gaming spending begins to shift toward the holiday season's biggest releases. Subscribers who want to maximise their PS Plus value should complete any September additions they are interested in before October's release calendar makes competing demands on their gaming time. After GTA 6 launches November 19, most other games will see significantly reduced playtime for the rest of the year.

What This Means for Indian PS Plus Subscribers

For Indian PS Plus subscribers paying approximately ₹4,999 per year for Essential or ₹7,499 for Extra, September's additions and the seven departing games are a practical reminder to audit your PS Plus catalogue usage regularly. Indian subscribers who have not checked their Extra or Premium catalogue recently may find games they want to play that are leaving next week — check the PlayStation App or the PS Plus section on your console now before the removal date. The departing games are gone permanently from the service after they leave, though they can still be purchased separately.

My Take

PS Plus's monthly game cycle becomes almost irrelevant for most subscribers from November 19 onward — GTA 6 will absorb essentially all available gaming time for weeks. Which makes September's additions and the departing games particularly worth paying attention to now, while there is still gaming headspace to appreciate them. Check what is leaving, add what you want to keep, and use September's additions as the palette cleanser between now and the biggest gaming launch of your lifetime. Four days to August 27. Then September. Then November 19.
