Before we get to what’s coming to PlayStation Plus, we wanted to let you know that starting today, we’re making a slight change to how we communicate PlayStation Plus updates. Instead of posting twice per month on what’s coming to Plus, we’re going to be making one post that gives an overview of all the content that’s hitting Plus in that particular month. So today’s post will cover content coming in September, and the next post will hit in the first Monday of October. Of course, with every week’s Store Update post, you’ll know what’s going on the Store for Plus on that week.
Now to the good stuff! We’ve got some great content this month coming free to Plus subscribers including PopCap’s Plants vs. Zombies, the furious shoot-em-up Astro Tripper, and the final game in the SEGA Genesis Collection, Altered Beast. The value of all three of these titles adds up to more than a $24 savings, which doesn’t include the additional minis and PSone Classics you’ll get this month too. This month also marks a special occasion as we’re celebrating the Resident Evil 15th Anniversary with PSone Classics: Resident Evil Director’s Cut, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3, all free to PlayStation Plus subscribers starting 9/20, for 2 weeks only. In other PSone Classic news, Jet Moto will also be free starting tomorrow, 9/6.
On the discount side of things, Resident Evil 4 (releasing 9/20 on PSN) and Resident Evil Code Veronica (releasing on 9/27 on PSN) will be 50% off for Plus subscribers as part of the RE 15th Anniversary special. We’ll also offer for 1 week an additional 50% off select LucasArts PSP content on sale for PSN . Check the list below for all the titles in this lineup as well as the other discounts.
There’s tons more including new Full Game Trials, free themes and avatars; all will be coming on the dates noted below for September. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below and enjoy!

Since PSN was attacked..
xD i always but games on sale so i own all the ps1 resident evils.
Kudos for the amazing sales. i will be picking RE4 and CV(even tho i own them for ps2 already)
@Deathspear666
The only thing stupid here is that comment. It doesn’t matter when Demo’s are put up, nothing is forcing you to buy the game on Day 1. Even if demos are put up weeks after the Full game, nothing changes! You download the demo, try it out, and depending how it went, you buy the full game or not!
@rbanke
This comment believe it or not is infinitely more stupid than Deathspear666’s! It’s just so blindingly ignorant, it’s the definition of /facepalm! Some of the greatest games EVER MADE are PSone games and you don’t play them “cause…well…they’re PS1 games… thats just so sad, your not even worth being pitied upon.
For once I have to say this sounds great!
I wasn’t going to bother with RE 4 or CV, but now I’ll probably pick them up too along with the first 3 free!
Awesome stuff, keep it coming!
best ps+ update ever?
Awesome stuff . I have been plus since day 1 and still have no regrets . Sure it slows down sometimes but then you get months like this . And there have been more than a couple really awesome months . So what if it’s not always stacked up with stuff for everyone . It evens out with times like this .
Thanks again .
@Vengeance1138 I played ps1 games when they were new, and still have any of them I’d want to replay.
YES! I wanted plants vs Zombies so bad when it came out. Sweet….and the resident evils for free is also great. Great PS+ update keep it up!
wow best ps plus update ever !
Also forgot to add that I’ve been a day 1 plus member buying the 3 month packages . So it’s not like I’ve been riding a one time fee at a discount(+3 bonus months) . Still no regrets though .
Wow… Color me impressed? No, really. I’m not being “sarcastic”. Honestly though I feel, Morgan Haro, is at the core of this. I mean I did challenge him into getting me to find a reason to buy into the plus program or even find a reason to want the coupon book. This is one huge step in that direction, but I shall hold off on making that commitment for now. I am not buying into this all just yet. I call shinanigans! Something is afoot. Must be a ploy or a typo. Falsified information.
Glad you’re impressed! Plus is a big PSN team effort, and it’s our PSN and Store teams as a whole that work with our partners to get great content and discounts. Keep your eye out on further updates and hope to see you joining up with Plus soon!
