Every PS Plus Premium and Extra game from September 2025, ranked

On September 16, the PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra game catalog will get a little bit bigger as eight new games come to the subscription service.

PS Plus Extra lets subscribers access a large library of contemporary PS4 and PS5 games, while PS Plus Premium adds classic PS1 and PS2 games, as well as PlayStation VR2 titles, on top of that.

In September, one new PS2 game is coming to the PS Plus Premium, while a mix of PS4 and PS5 games is coming to Extra.

The most notable game of the month is Persona 5 Tactica, the strategy game spin-off of Atlus’ beloved RPG Persona 5.

Although it’s not the most exciting month for PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra additions, I still want to help you decide what to play.

As such, I’m ranking all eight titles added to the game catalog this month so you can more easily decide which ones to try out first.

Green Hell

Available on PS4 and PS5

You’ve probably played a game like Green Hell before, as it’s a tough survival game where you gather resources, build, farm, and fight.

What makes it unique is that it’s set in the Amazon Jungle, meaning that it features a lot of plants and wildlife that you don’t normally see in survival games.

If you’re very much into survival games, then you’ll probably have a good time with Green Hell.

Still, I think there are much better games in the genre already available as part of the PS Plus Extra catalog, like Conan Exiles.

As such, don’t feel like you need to go out of your way to try Green Hell out if its setting doesn’t interest you.

7

Fate/Samurai Remnant

Available on PS4 and PS5

Fate/Samurai Remnant is a fairly niche game. It’s part of a wider series of Japanese video games, the most famous of which is the mobile game Fate/Grand Order.

This specific game is an open-world action game from Omega Force, the same studio behind Dynasty Warriors.

If you’re unfamiliar with Fate as a franchise and aren’t willing to immerse yourself in its universe and lore, then this game might not have much staying power for you.

Those who do stick around find a pretty enjoyable action game, though.

6

Conscript

Available on PS4 and PS5

If you’re a fan of horror games with retro aesthetics, Conscript should be on your radar.

It’s a horror game set during World War I that follows a French soldier as he navigates the dark and grisly trenches of the war in search of his brother.

Not nearly enough games take advantage of World War I as a setting, so I like that this game does so while leaning into the more horrific parts of that war.

While it is outclassed by another retro-inspired horror game added to the catalog this month, Conscript also finds clever ways to pay tribute to the look and resource management mechanics of many classic horror games.

It’s the first game added to PS Plus this month that I can confidently recommend, as long as you’re a fan of horror.

5

The Invincible

Available on PS5

The Invincible is a rare example of a novel being directly adapted into a video game.

In this case, it takes a 1964 sci-fi story of the same name and transforms it into a first-person adventure game.

That transition works surprisingly well as it allows the game to really immerse players in the world of Regis III, which is inhabited by more mechanical lifeforms than expected.

It has eleven different endings, too, giving it a replay value that’s not very common in this genre of adventure game.

If you enjoy games like Firewatch or enjoy a good sci-fi novel, The Invincible is tailor-made for you.

I’d consider The Invincible the hidden gem of this month’s PlayStation Plus additions, if that makes it even more intriguing to try.

4

WWE 2K25

Available on PS4 and PS5

WWE 2K25 needs little introduction, as it’s simply the latest entry in 2K’s long-running wrestling game series.

You can pick your favorite wrestler and play as them in a variety of modes and matches that are not bound by real-world limitations.

For the most part, WWE 2K is a very iterative sequel, refining the gameplay of the wrestling games that came before it.

Its big new feature is a mode called The Island, where players can explore the titular location with a custom wrestler and slowly work to improve their character’s abilities.

You probably already know whether WWE 2K25 appeals to you, but this is also a good choice if you’re looking for something fun to play with your friends within the PS Plus Premium and Extra game catalog.

3

Legacy of Kain: Defiance

Available on PS4 and PS5

I highly recommend that PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers play through the whole Legacy of Kain series.

This Gothic action game series about vampires was highly influential in the evolution of narrative in video games, and many of its games still hold up today.

While this series was stuck on older consoles for a long time, that’s no longer the case.

Now, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, Blood Omen 2, and Legacy of Kain Defiance are all part of PS Plus, while a remastered collection of the Soul Reaver games is also available for PS4 and PS5.

Although committing to play through this whole franchise is a big commitment, you will have a good time if you take advantage of the fact that many of its games are on PS Plus and play the series through.

2

Crow Country

Available on PS4 and PS5

While Conscript is a neat retro-inspired horror game, Crow Country is even better. That’s because the game fully embraces its PS1 inspirations to create a new horror game that feels pulled straight out of the 1990s.

For a game that doesn’t look that modern, Crow Country is a surprisingly atmospheric and spooky experience.

It features the resource management and puzzle-solving gameplay elements of Silent Hill and Resident Evil.

Meanwhile, its camera perspective and pre-rendered-looking backgrounds are more similar to the look of Final Fantasy VII, albeit with a horror-focused tone.

It’s a treat for fans of retro horror games, and a must-play now that it’s part of this subscription service’s lineup.

Persona 5 Tactica

Available on PS4 and PS5

The undisputed best game added this month is Persona 5 Tactica. Released in 2023, it’s a spin-off of Persona 5 that’s a turn-based strategy game.

As a fan of series like Fire Emblem and XCOM, it’s very novel to see how Atlus approached this genre while maintaining the flashy presentation of the Persona series.

Overall, Persona makes this transition to a new genre surprisingly smoothly.

For fans of strategy games, this game is way more stylish than most other games in the genre that you’d play.

For fans of Persona 5, this game’s brand-new story and reinterpretations of that game’s UI and Persona gameplay elements will be novel to see.

If you play only one new PS Plus game this month, make it Persona 5 Tactica.

A weak month for PS Plus Premium and Extra

While games like Persona 5 Tactica and Crow Country are great, this is one of the weakest batches of new PS Plus Premium and Extra games in several months.

It lacks a true heavy-hitter like Cyberpunk 2077 or one of 2025’s best games, like Sword of the Sea. This month’s games definitely appeal to very specific niches, like retro horror fans.

It speaks to the diversity of unique games that release on PS4 and PS5 every year, but don’t feel surprised if there isn’t a game in this month’s lineup that intrigues you as much as something like Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered would.
