Substantial increase in PS Plus subscriptions noted, with this month featuring a noteworthy platformer on par with Astro Bot in the free offerings.

In an exciting announcement, Sony has revealed the lineup of games that will be available for free to PS Plus members in September. Among the standout titles is the highly anticipated sequel, Psychonauts 2.

Psychonauts 2, a follow-up to one of the best platformers of all time, is set to be released for free on PS5 and PS4 starting from September 2nd. Razputin "Raz" Aquato, the playable character, leads the player through a 3D platformer that exhibits similar standards of invention and immersion as Astro Bot and Super Mario Odyssey. The game takes place in the surroundings of the Psychonauts' base - The Motherlobe, and the minds of its inhabitants.

Double Fine Productions, the developer behind Psychonauts 2, has ensured that the game maintains the same level of quality as its predecessor. Psychonauts 2 is a game about an international peacekeeping group specializing in psychic cases, promising an immersive and unique gaming experience.

Joining Psychonauts 2 in the free games lineup is Stardew Valley, considered one of the greatest indie games ever released. This farm simulation game offers a relaxing yet engaging experience, allowing players to cultivate their own farm, build relationships, and explore the mysteries of the valley.

Another game included in the free games for PS Plus in September is Viewfinder, a game with a quirky art style that holds up brilliantly without needing an official remaster.

While the quality of the monthly PS Plus releases has been inconsistent over the past few months, Sony's September lineup is one of the most exciting free bundles of the year. In addition to Psychonauts 2, Stardew Valley, and Viewfinder, members can also look forward to Lies of P, a Soulslike game that headlines the current lineup.

Moreover, the availability of Lies of P, Day Z, and My Hero One's Justice 2 can be extended until the end of play 1 September 2025. This gives PS Plus members ample time to enjoy these games before the new lineup arrives.

Whether you're a fan of platformers, farm simulations, or Soulslike games, there's something for everyone in Sony's September lineup. So, mark your calendars for September 2nd and get ready to dive into these exciting new games.
