PS Plus September 2025 Wish List: Top Picks You Can’t Miss

As August winds down, PlayStation Plus subscribers are eagerly looking ahead to September 2025’s PS Plus free games. Following an impressive summer lineup with Diablo 4 and Lies of P, fans are hoping September continues the trend of blockbuster releases, indie gems, and nostalgic throwbacks.

Here’s our curated PS Plus wish list across Essential, Extra, and Premium tiers—games that could make September one of the strongest months yet.

???? Essential Tier Predictions

Resident Evil 4 Remake

Capcom’s 2023 survival-horror remake remains one of the best modern reimaginings in gaming. It revitalizes Leon Kennedy’s tense journey with modernized visuals, improved combat pacing, and polished mechanics. With Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remakes already on PS Plus Premium, adding RE4 Remake to PS Plus Essential in September would complete the trilogy for fans.

Stellar Blade

Released in April 2024, this PS5-exclusive blends Soulslike combat with cinematic storytelling and stunning environments. Developed by Shift Up, Stellar Blade offers tight gameplay and rich lore—perfect for players who missed its launch. Adding it to Essential would give subscribers a fresh AAA action title.

MLB The Show 25

No September is complete without baseball fever. MLB The Show 25, launched in March 2025, captures the thrill of America’s pastime with lifelike stadiums, realistic mechanics, and deep career modes. As the World Series season approaches, it’s the perfect Essential pick to keep fans engaged.

???? Extra & Premium Tier Predictions

Solar Ash

From the creators of Hyper Light Drifter, Solar Ash delivers surreal exploration and gravity-defying traversal. Its stylized visuals and smooth gameplay make it a natural fit for PS Plus Extra, especially after August’s Sword of the Sea.

The Order: 1886

Originally divisive upon release in 2015, this steampunk shooter deserves a second look in 2025. Its cinematic world, alternate history London, and polished gunplay would make a strong addition to the Premium catalog.

Until Then

This Filipino-inspired indie blends heartfelt storytelling, pixel art charm, and soft sci-fi themes. It balances humor with emotional depth, offering something unique in the PS Plus Premium lineup.

Octopath Traveler

Square Enix’s acclaimed HD-2D JRPG showcases eight character-driven stories in a lush fantasy setting. With Octopath Traveler 0 on the horizon, September would be the perfect time for Sony to drop the original into Extra or Premium tiers.

Dungeons of Hinterberg

A Zelda-meets-social-sim experience where players explore mystical dungeons while forging bonds in a magical Austrian town. Its mix of puzzles, combat, and relationship-building would appeal to both indie fans and casual adventurers.

⚡ Why These Picks Matter

September traditionally marks the shift from summer blockbusters to deeper, more varied gaming experiences. Our picks balance:

• Essential Tier: AAA thrills like Resident Evil 4 Remake, Stellar Blade, and MLB The Show 25.
• Extra & Premium: Creative indies and cult classics like Solar Ash, Until Then, and Octopath Traveler.

Whether you’re a horror enthusiast, sports fan, or indie explorer, September’s PS Plus lineup could be a game-changer.

????️ Final Take

With Sony pushing for broader variety across PS Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium, September 2025 has the potential to deliver both blockbusters and hidden gems. While we won’t know the official lineup until Sony’s announcement, this wish list sets high expectations.
