PlayStation Plus Free Games for September 2023 Revealed

September's PS Plus games arrive next Tuesday.

Sony has today officially announced the lineup of PS5 and PS4 games that will be joining PlayStation Plus for the month of September 2023. Earlier this week, a reputable insider shared one of the titles that would be joining PS Plus soon, and it happened to be a controversial one. Now, it's known that this previous leak was accurate, which means that this forthcoming slate of games on PS Plus could end up being quite divisive. 

As always, three new games in total will be joining PS Plus next week on September 5 and will be available until October 2. This time around, the forthcoming slate for September includes Saints Row, Black Desert – Traveler Edition, and Generation Zero. The controversial game in question here happens to be Saints Row, which is being pitched as the biggest game of the month for PS Plus members. Although the Saints Row franchise has largely been loved by fans, this 2022 reboot of the series was not very well received and featured a variety of issues at launch. Whether or not Saints Row could have a second wind thanks to its arrival on the PlayStation subscription service isn't yet known, but if nothing else, Black Desert and Generation Zero help round out this month nicely. 

You can learn more about all of these new arrivals on PlayStation Plus for September below.
