Hello, PlayStation Plus members! We’re happy to reveal your free PS4 games for September, 2016. This month you can slash your way through demonic hordes, or journey across the ruins of a forgotten civilization. Let’s get started!
First up is Journey. The talented developers at thatgamecompany bring us the critically acclaimed adventure and winner of numerous Game of the Year awards. Finding yourself alone in the desert, you must make your way to the mountaintop. But there’s so much more to this sublime experience than simply traversing the world. With stunning visuals, an amazing soundtrack, and a unique online experience, don’t miss the very special experience that is Journey.
Next up is Lords of the Fallen. Looking for redemption for past sins, you play as Harkyn and try to end a war between humans and the gods. With three classes to choose from, you can tailor the combat experience to your liking. And in a game where every encounter matters and your choices have consequences, the layers of customization are an integral part of the action. So collect your gear and prepare for close-quarters combat as you take the fight to the demon lords.
Full Lineup
- Lords of the Fallen, PS4
- Journey, PS4, PS3
- Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, PS3
- Datura, PS3
- Badland, PS Vita, PS4, PS3
- Amnesia: Memories, PS Vita
We’ll see you in the comments section. Enjoy.
Great month! I’ve never played Journey before.
It’s a great game, but tragically short.
This game was a big deal way back in 2012.
Thanks! Journey is a treat and I hope you enjoy it and the rest of the games this month.
Coowater, play it again, go in a different direction, love the areas you never saw.
I just look up the games for this month not bad I believe Sony could’ve done better. I don’t think indie games should be something they add to the free line up since we could play games like that on our phones.
How about we talk about that PS+ price increase and didn’t feel the need to tell us in a blog post?
Instead you updated an older post to announce that the price will be 60$USD and 70$CAND.
I feel it’s extremely dishonest the way you proceeded the announcement.
As such, I won’t be renewing my subscription.
I will still purchase first party games like God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Spiderman. None of them requires online to play.
In the future, try to be more honest and straight forward with us. This kind of behaviour breaks trust from your customers.
Also, I do honestly believe you should bring back free online multi-player.
You could bring back Online Pass that you had on the PS3.
The Online Pass would unlock That Specific Game you just purchased (Not all PSN games)
This would promote buying new games rather than used.
I often buy my games day 1 new. I feel there should be a bigger incentive for me rather than going used.
However, lately with the price increase on games in Canada, it is hard to justify… even when I was working 2 full time jobs.
PS+ members would get All games unlocked even when they are used games.
So people that buy games from their friends or pre-owned would still get to pay for PS+ service.
On top of that, they would get early access to the latest updates.
They would get All the extra service that the PS3 days did not have.
Friends, Notifications, Messages, Streaming, Video Upload, Social Media, Apps, YouTube, Twitch, Remote Play, in-game Chat, Web Browser, Community, Party, Folders, Trophies would all be free to access.
Everything else, Community (Ability to Create your own Blog on the Community), Events (can be unlocked with Online Pass for specific games), Share Play, Cross Gaming Chat (entering a party is free, just not when you’re playing another game), Free Games, No need of an Online Pass, PS+ sales, online storage, and add a ton more features, it would all be exclusive to PS+ members.
There would be more people buying games on PS4 if there would be an option to play online for free.
I loved PS+ before it was a requirement to play online. It gave you a lot of value for your money.
Journey looks good but this other game looks stupid. I was expecting at least 1 triple A title because of the ps plus membership fee rising. All we really get now is indie games which isn’t always a bad thing but it would be nice to have a triple A every 2-3 months or so. I would recommend older games like Infamous: Second Son, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, Watch Dogs 1, Payday 2: Crimewave Edition or Little Big Planet 3
wtf games are those man but aye hopefully there good
CommandingTiger, shut it. Remember you have the option to not be a member. Just stop complaining about the increase. I have been a member since literally Hour 1 of the PS Plus Service. This is the first time an increase has happened for the program in the 6 years it has been in existence. Stop playing the oh woah is me card and stop giving gamers a bad name being a wino.
Damn bought both of these, journey when it was just on sale recently. It is a little decieving when you select a game that was previously on sale in playstation store. It basically feels like youre plan is to try to see who you can trick before offering free with plus. You guys ddid the same thing with gat out of hell which literally was on sale right up to first tuesday of the month. And nba 2k16 which was on sale the week before. I dont have a problem with lords of the fallen i bought it on release when there was only a handful of ps4 games on offer and i dont remember it being on sale in the last couple months though i know its been on sale several times in the last year for as little as 8 dollars or something.
JimmyLSanchez, shut it. A lot of people don’t like paying even $50 a year for online access (I couldn’t care less about “free” games), so a price increase makes it even worse. I pay $50/yr right now for the sake of playing Destiny online. If you don’t find that ridiculous, then you’re ridiculous.
Journey is a good choice. For once.
Lords of the Fallen was so buggy when I played it I ended up stopping playing and never touched it again.
Best month for me in a while Lords of the Fallen and Journey are both games ive been wanting to pick up and haven’t.
Micro$oft started the gaming trend of paying a subscription to access your own internet on your own console. They didn’t even give any games with the subscription. Lest we forget…
I also think this is one of the greatest month, even though I already got Journey
And for psvita this is literally the best month in more than six months away
Lord of the fallen kinda look like dark soul for me
Spectacular month!
This is the prettier, PS4 version of Journey, an all-time great.
Lords of the Fallen is basically a AAA style game. If u like Dark Souls or Bloodborne u will love this game.
Badland GotY Edition is considered to be an excellent game. Badland is available on all 3 systems so we are actually getting 3 PS4 games this month.
@JimmyLSanchez actually it is people like you and your ilk, those who when someone expresses their option on a service or product feel the need to make personal attacks, that give gamers a bad name.
@ZanFear least we forget that while they were the first to charge they were also offering stable servers that were not always down for maintenance, DDoS attacks, or easily hacked in a way which user’s personal information could be obtained. $ony (take a second to see how silly it looks to use a “$” instead of an “S”) has adopted the business model but forgot to add the service. And as of late, Microsoft has consistently been outdoing Sony at their own game…. the “free” games. Microsoft even allows you to keep the last gen games regardless of your membership status and are playable even if you no longer have last gen hardware through backwards compatibility. Most people really don’t mind paying for a service that delivers quality. You don’t see very many Xbox owners complaining about the cost associated with Live the way you do PS owners complaining about paying for PS+. THat speaks volumes to the differences in the service from a consumer standpoint.
Bad games. Journey is free on PS now. Lords of the fallen is trash. Bad graphics and combat
@Tarmac, actually if you have been taking notice, you would have seen that Xbox live has many issues nowadays compared to PSN. Both do go down offline sometimes, but as of late the former has been having issues more frequently. Saying that it is not always down to x reasoning shows your utter lack of information. Google is your friend. Also , on Live you can’t download any BC games from the free ones even if you are a gold member, without having region specific credit card info stored. A ridiculous measure imho, since being a gold member should suffice.
@TarmacTrauma You bring up fair points. But I couldn’t care less if using “$” instead of a “S” is silly to you or not.
Thank you for the new selection. I have been wanting to play Lords of the Fallen but never got the chance. I’m not a huge Indie fan, but Journey has received enough acclaim to make me want to try that too. Solid month. Keep up the good work :)
For those complaining about the PSN price hike, please STOP!
From the reasons you are complaining for, it’s clear you don’t understand that this is a business, and as with all businesses in society, you must react to inflation.
The only people who should be on these boards complaining are teenagers, and that is only because they have no clue.
Any working adult complaining should shut up or unsubscribe.
Paying for the PSN service uptick is not an obligation to now get AAA titles for free. If you don’t want to pay only a measly $5 per month for the PSN service, then disconnect your PS from online and play for a month like that. Once you realize all that PSN was giving you for that TINY $5 per month, then maybe you can realize how petty your complaining was.
Grow up kids. And when you’re done whining and want to join the rest of us mature and competent gamers in the world who actually understand what living and working is all about, we’ll be here on the PSN.
@CommandingTiger You sir are in the vocal minority when it comes to online passes. The gamers in this industry spoke loud and clearly to the devs and publishers that online passes were not an acceptable practice. Hence the removal of that idiotic idea. Simply because you buy most of your games new, as do I, does not make the inclusion of online passes a good idea. The used games market is essential to the industry right now. Especially when that is a way to speak with your wallet. Case in point, MGS V the complete experience will retail for $50 USD with most profit going to Konami. As an educated consumer I’d rather buy TPP used as I already got GZ free on PS+, save some cash and prevent any of my money from going to Konami for that purchase. Since the only incentive to buy early and new is just that, you are the only one to blame for feeling like you’re getting the same as those buying used. Those buying a used game should not have access to certain features blocked simply because the game is used. That is a dishonest practice.
@MoeGooner88 Funny. So what is this problem that “the later” has been having so much lately?Talk about utter lack of information… even acting like PSN has been more stable than Live is laughable. Even the most diehard fans of Playstation that expect to be taken seriously go that route. Use your friend Google (because if it is on Google it has to be right, just like Wiki) to check the documented outages on both services and try again. The whole CC for 360 games is a kiddie argument that is in place to prevent marketplace or region fraud.
Hopefully they are worth downloading
Oh man, an old Games with Gold title and an indy title that only retained it’s charm the longer people shut up about it. So a couple days in other words. What is going on Sony? Everyday it feels like you are losing your grip white the big Green is gaining momentum. I don’t see anything saving it. Not even the VR. Oh well, I’ll still believe.
I can’t wait to play journey! I wish you guys would have released it before the labor day weekend though so I could play it on my 3 day weekend off of work!!!
If lords of the fallen is supposed to be free this month for ps+ members, why does it want to charge me 19.99$?
So now people who buy PS+ just for playing PS4 online are jerks for complaining…
Right… LOL
This month is better than last month. I’ve been wanting to play Journey for awhile, I also love RPG styled games.
Plz i have a subscribtion but for some reason the games aren’t showing up
lol Guys, GWG gets old PS+ games. What’s your point? It doesn’t matter if you have both services or not, these services are separate and will get what games they can when they can for their users.
Could we get a game that matters and not some boring game that nobody wants to play. That would be great. Maybe something that doesn’t suck. PlayStation is being jerks and giving you game’s that we already played on ps3. But sad to say that I’d rather play my Atari over the free games that’s been released across the psn. I’d rather see free game profile pics over these 0/100 rated games.
why i haven’t get my ps4 free games for september? when is the release date? any info please, thank you
So I live in EU and it’s September 6th 12.25 here and journey still has a price tag, I mean come on Sony I ditched my friends tonight for to play Journey till morning!!
why is there not a free game for psp too? is that finished now?
Journey is a pretty good game, I’ll give it another look.
Also, to the people complaining about the PS Plus price increase: It’s $10 a year. A YEAR. If that’s gonna break your bank, then you likely can’t afford to buy games in the first place.
You’re paying that much a month for your Internet connection. PS Plus is a service, just like your cable, internet, utilities, etc. Stop complaining. You’re not entitled to free services.
Still august game? Come on
Sorry, I know it’s not a cross buy, but didn’t see already receive “Journey” free on the ps3 years ago? Not really a complaint, just an observation
Ok so the ps4 games are up but for PS vita it still shows the august games but now you have to pay for them and it is getting late in the EU plz do something about it
Put better games next time for the playstation community
wow they really improved they are giving us decent games now althouh i do wish they could give us bigger games like bloodborne, destiny (you get the idea)
Idk about you guys but I was extremely underwhelmed with this months line ups to be honest. Journey isn’t very action packed at all and lords of the fallen looks like some cliche PS2 game. I really hope we get popular titles that people are familiar with in October. When I had my 360, i was envious of all the games you could download on the Xbox one. I just purched a PS4 and a 3 month membership. I just hope they make it worth it..
