5 things you need to know about the PlayStation Plus September lineup and its biggest surprise yet
- Sony just dropped the September 2024 lineup for PlayStation Plus, and the standout title is the critically-acclaimed Harold Halibut, a hand-crafted stop-motion adventure that is unlike anything else on the service. It alone justifies a look at the catalog this month.
- The monthly games for Essential tier members include a strong trio: Quidditch Champions (the Harry Potter sports game), MLB The Show 24, and Little Nightmares II. That last one is a masterclass in horror and a must-play for a quiet evening.
- For Extra and Premium subscribers, the deep catalog addition of Horizon Zero Dawn (the original, not the remaster) is a major win. If you missed it, this is the perfect time to experience Aloy’s origin story for free.
- The biggest hidden gem in the September announcement is the return of Trails Through Daybreak, a fan-favorite JRPG that finally gets a modern audience on the service. It’s a dense, 80-hour epic that rewards patient players.
- Don’t overlook the Premium Classics: the original Tekken 2 is now available, offering raw, nostalgic fighting game action without the modern DLC cash grabs. It’s a quick download for a retro fix.
