PS Plus September 2026: New Game Catalog Additions, Release Dates and the Games You Can Play Now

PlayStation Plus gets another major update on September 15, 2026, with new games joining the Game Catalog for Extra and Premium members. This month’s lineup mixes survival, wrestling, roguelite, RPG, stealth and classic PlayStation experiences, making it one of the broader PS Plus updates of the season.

What Is New on PS Plus in September 2026?

The September Game Catalog includes RuneScape: Dragonwilds, WWE 2K26, Ball x Pit, Date Everything!, Sniper Elite: Resistance, Slitterhead and additional titles, while Premium members also receive classic games including Mega Man X Command Mission and Metro Redux.

The exact catalog can vary by region, so subscribers should check the PlayStation Store on their console before downloading.

RuneScape: Dragonwilds

Jagex’s survival crafting adventure arrives on PS5 as part of the September catalog. Players explore Ashenfall, gather resources, build shelters, level skills and fight dragons alone or with friends.

Dragonwilds is especially notable because its 1.0 launch also lands on September 15, giving PS Plus subscribers an immediate way to try the full release rather than an older build.

WWE 2K26

WWE 2K26 brings the wrestling series to the September Game Catalog on PS5. Players can build their own wrestling experience through career, creation and multiplayer-focused modes, while the roster and presentation provide the traditional WWE 2K package.

For sports and wrestling fans, this is one of the most recognizable additions in the month’s lineup.

Ball x Pit

Ball x Pit is a roguelite built around fast arcade-style action and a progression loop that combines combat with base-building systems. It is scheduled to arrive in the September catalog later in the month, giving subscribers another option when they want something smaller and more experimental.

Date Everything!

Date Everything! takes a completely different approach. Everyday objects become characters that players can interact with, creating a humorous relationship-focused adventure. It is an unusual addition to the service and helps the September lineup avoid becoming a collection of action games.

Sniper Elite: Resistance

Rebellion’s stealth-focused shooter remains one of the strongest choices for players who prefer methodical combat. The campaign can be played cooperatively, while Axis Invasion and competitive multiplayer add replay value beyond the story.

The game is set during World War II and emphasizes careful positioning, long-range shots and stealth rather than constant run-and-gun action.

Slitterhead

Slitterhead adds horror and action to the catalog. Created by Bokeh Game Studio, the game sends players into a strange urban nightmare filled with monsters and supernatural danger.

It is a useful pick for subscribers looking for something darker after finishing the month’s lighter or more conventional releases.

Classic Games for Premium Members

Premium subscribers also get access to classic PlayStation titles, including Mega Man X Command Mission and Metro Redux. These additions are particularly interesting for players who want older games alongside the modern catalog.

What Should You Download First?

If you want a simple starting point, RuneScape: Dragonwilds is the obvious choice for survival fans because its full 1.0 launch arrives alongside its PS Plus debut. WWE 2K26 is the better option for wrestling fans, while Sniper Elite: Resistance suits players who prefer stealth and tactical shooting.

For horror, Slitterhead is worth a look. For something unusual and lighter, Date Everything! offers the biggest change of pace.

How Long Are These Games Available?

Game Catalog titles are available to eligible Extra and Premium subscribers while they remain part of the service. Sony can rotate the lineup, so adding a game to your library or starting it before it leaves is recommended if you do not want to miss it.
