The latest wave of additions to Sony PlayStation Plus expands the library for Extra and Deluxe (Premium) members with 14 fresh titles joining the catalog. This batch features a mix of acclaimed story-driven adventures, action titles, and nostalgic surprises, broadening the appeal for subscribers across the Americas and beyond. Key highlights include The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, a sprawling fantasy epic that continues to captivate players with its deep storytelling and expansive open world, alongside Wild Hearts from EA, a creature hunting action title that blends strategic combat with fast-paced exploration. Rounding out the lineup are Cult of the Lamb, Watch Dogs 2, Sword Art Online: Last Recollection, Ride 5, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker, and Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris, offering a variety of genres from RPG to stealth and racing to combat. Parts of the Fatal Bullet and Hollow Realization series are also included, giving fans a chance to revisit or discover additional chapters in those narratives.
Additionally, the catalog now features classic arcade-styled shooter TimeSplitters 1 and 2, TimeSplitters Future Perfect, and the VR experience Vacation Simulator, available through the Deluxe tier. These picks provide a mix of retro multiplayer fun, extended campaign adventures, and lighthearted VR gameplay that can complement a wide range of player preferences and setups. The collection signals Sony’s ongoing strategy to diversify the service with both modern blockbusters and older favorites, ensuring there is something for casual players and completionists alike.
On September 17, another wave of titles is planned to join the PS Plus Extra, Deluxe, and Premium catalogs. This upcoming release slate includes Horizon Forbidden West, Alien Isolation, Marvel’s Midnight Suns Enhanced Edition, NieR Replicant, multiple Star Ocean episodes, Cloudpunk, and Spiritfarer: Farewell Edition. Each title brings its own unique mechanics and storytelling approach, contributing to a richer, more varied library that supports different playstyles and preferences. The inclusion of both action-adventure and narrative-driven games demonstrates PlayStation’s commitment to offering depth alongside breadth within the subscription model.
PlayStation Plus is a paid subscription designed for PlayStation console owners. The Essential plan provides access to monthly games, multiplayer features, cloud saves, and a range of other perks. The Extended plans elevate the value proposition by delivering a large library of free games, expanded offline access, and additional benefits that enhance long-term engagement. This structure makes it easier for players to explore newer releases while also revisiting beloved titles from the catalog without the friction of separate purchases. The broader strategy appears to be creating a more robust ecosystem where players can discover, replay, and stay connected with friends across a growing roster of titles and genres.
