By Give or take?
Seeing as August’s PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium drop went over like gangbusters with members, we’re itching to see if September’s roster can keep the buzz alive.
Frankly, we’re betting it won’t.
That’s no knock on September’s catalogue being awful — it’s simply missing the crowd-pleasing magnetism August flaunted.
Look, sports-entertainment might count as mass-market, yet crowning WWE 2K25 as Extra’s marquee pick will wave a crimson banner for plenty. With yearly sports titles, you’re either ringside or you change the channel.
Next comes Persona 5 Tactica, a tactics-based detour that barely blipped on the radar of even die-hard Persona 5 devotees. For most, this 2023 side quest felt like one spin-off latte too many — still, its arrival here hands you a guilt-free pass to sample the brew.
Then there’s Fate/Samurai Remnant. This Extra entry skews hard toward the anime end of the shelf, yet believe us: the action-RPG criminally flies under the radar. Expect an engrossing alt-history plot, memorable cast, and satisfying power curve — plus a blistering opener you’ll never skip.
Beyond that, the PS1-styled spook-fest Crow Country delivers tidy chills, while narrative-driven sci-fi gem The Invincible deserves a look from mystery lovers.
Alas, the priciest rung on the ladder, PS Plus Premium, is once more rationed to a single relic: PS2 curio Legacy of Kain: Defiance, a follow-up that still splits the fandom.
So, does September’s PS Plus Extra / Premium haul float your boat? Cast a vote in our polls, then sound off down in the comments.
Robert (or Rob, if brevity’s your thing) serves as associate editor at Push Square and has pledged allegiance to PlayStation since Tekken 2 dragged him into gaming in the ’90s. He still throws down in fighters, but RPGs own his heart—The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales… he’s mainlined them all. Perhaps a touch excessively, acquaintances might argue.
