Sony's September 2026 PS Plus lineup: dates, leaks and speculation

Sony plans to disclose its September 2026 PS Plus Essential titles on August 26, following its usual pattern of a late-month reveal and a first-Tuesday launch, which places the release on September 1. The author notes that no credible leaks have emerged so far, but mentions that the most reliable source of leaks has historically been billbil-kun. Reviewing previous September offerings shows no clear thematic trend, with past years featuring a mix of horror, sports, indie and racing games.

The piece also outlines a number of titles that will exit the Extra and Premium tiers in mid-September, suggesting a possible gap that could be filled by a new Essential game. Three personal forecasts are offered: Spider-Man 2, Trine 5 and Stellar Blade. Finally, the article includes a wishlist of additional games that fans hope might appear on the service.
