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!

how much are the resident evil games 15 or 20 each
Wow by far the best catalog of games by FAR!
Hey look, I get some nice PS+ content before my subscription runs out and doesn’t get renewed.
im pretty happy to see capcom actually giving some stuff away for free here, really surprised though. i will take advantage of this.
This is awesome! I can’t wait for the discounts on RE!!!
Wow! This blows every other month of Plus right out of the water. I always wanted to get the PS1 Resident Evil games since I only got into the series with RE4. Now I get all three, for free!?
*head explodes*
I’m even tempted by the 50% off RE games. $10 each is pretty good, but I’ve got a huge backlog as it is, and fall isn’t going to help my backlog or my wallet.
And I love the new one-post-per-month format. It’s much better to just get an overview of the whole month, and getting some of it the next day. I’m glad you guys finally made the switch.
Great job this month! Great games and tons of them. I’m really blown away.
not only is this a bunch of great content, but the force unleashed discounts are just the icing on the cake, along with resident evil 4 and code veronica.
ps: the force unleashed mission packs are for ps3 correct? the way it reads is that it only for psp, which would be a bit of a bummer
Hell yeah! I love Plants Vs. Zombies. Even more, I love the R.E. games. Thank u so much Playstation! Fan 4 life!
Oh wow, awesome!
Great update tomorrow alone!, already own PvZ on 360 but never bothered with ti much an have been wanting to get it on PSN just not for $15 now its free!, also cant go wrong with Altered Beast either. Rest of the months RE content has me in awe, thanks!
Goodbye social life
I still don’t see the point of paying the monthly fee.
Yea the discounts and “free” games are great and all, but once your PS+ account expires, the stuff you got using the plus account also “expires” along with it.
I’d rather save my money and buy the games, DLC, etc at full price, and wait the extra week or 2 for the demo or game to get put up on the PS Store.
I already got Resident Evil 1 ~ 3 from the PS Store, and I just got Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition for PS3. I’m gonna get Resident Evil 4 HD at full price later.
=P
I have a question guy. I newly bout a 3 month subscription of plus and was wondering, does content you purchase go invalid after your subscription is over? IE. I going to for sure by the 2 RE re-releases and wanted to know if they go invalid if my plus ends?
Content that is free as part of PS Plus is invalid if your subscription ends. However, any content that is purchased at discount is yours to keep, even without the subscription.
