PlayStation updated its PS Plus lineup with two official announcements: first naming the four Essential monthly games, then revealing the full Extra and Premium catalog update on September 9, most of which went live today, September 15, 2026.

PS Plus Essential monthly games

According to the August 26 announcement, all four games are available to Essential subscribers from Tuesday, September 1 through Monday, October 5, 2026:

• Sniper Elite: Resistance (PS5, PS4) — a tactical third-person shooter about a hidden war in occupied France, running parallel to the events of Sniper Elite 5. The full campaign can be played in co-op, the Axis Invasion mode returns (invading another player’s campaign as an Axis sniper), and there’s competitive 16-player online battles plus a 4-player Survival mode.
• MLB The Show 26 (PS5) — Road To The Show mode with the MLB Draft Combine and eleven new college teams, while Diamond Dynasty gains new Red Diamond rarity cards. PS Plus members also get an exclusive Jump Start Bundle (5 The Show Packs, 1 Equipment Pack and the Jumpstart Choice Pack), available from September 1 to October 6.
• Wobbly Life (PS5, PS4) — an open-world sandbox for solo play or up to three other players (online or local split-screen), with story missions and an Arcade mode featuring Trash Zone, Hide & Seek, Wobble Run and Sandbox mini-games.
• Chained Echoes (PS4) — a story-driven single-player JRPG set on the continent of Valandis, described as a “16-bit Golden Era style RPG” where magic and swords coexist with piloted mechs.

PS Plus Extra and Premium catalog additions

The September 9 article covers the full September catalog for Extra and Premium. Most of the lineup became available today, September 15, unless a different date is noted:

Premium-exclusive titles

Top-tier subscribers also received two more titles on September 15: Mega Man X Command Mission (PS5, PS4) — an RPG adventure with over 50 missions where the cyborg hero defends Giga City, and Metro Redux (PS4) — a remaster of the post-apocalyptic duology set in the underground metro stations of 2033.

Altogether, September’s PS Plus lineup is one of the busiest in recent memory: four free Essential games, eight Extra/Premium additions and two Premium exclusives — all details and exact dates confirmed in the two official PlayStation Blog articles this roundup links to.
