PlayStation Plus: Free Games for September 2016

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.

  • I’m actually happy with this lineup…it’s the first lineup that i’ve been happy with since outlast….Awsome games! Looking forward to trying journey, LotF, and Amnesia on vita(I have it on PC and love it…..and it would be fantastic to have portable.) No idea what badland is, but will prob check it out…The PoP game on PS3 is also awsome, but I already have it..overall, great lineup!

  • How come PS3 gets 4 games and PS4 3? Just curious. ..

  • I can’t get any of the free games

  • I can’t seem to find the new September games on my console.. first time this has ever happened.. is anyone else having this issue??

  • I’m fine with paying $70, $80 or even $90+ a YEAR to be able to play multiplayer online. Several reasons why. 1. If I’m paying for a service I now have the right to expect a certain level of quality. If psn goes down I expect my subscription money is used to ensure its back up and running again promptly. 2. Underage children modding and hacking and griefing others just because they can will not so easily be able to create a new ID when the one they have gets banned. 3. It’s $70 a year people. In all fairness how much can you demand a free network to update and maintain a good service without funds from somewhere to pay those who would do the job. One suggestion for those who still feel the entitlement to getting something for nothing. Offer 2 subscriptions. Standard and premium. Standard allows the online multiplayer and similar basic perks while the premium nets you the free game lineup discounts and maybe a few other perks.

    • OMG I don’t think I ever seen a more misinformed and misguided on here ever. You are either the dumbest poster in all of these forums or you’re intentionally trolling… Gamers like YOU are the reason why Console gaming in 2016 is a complete Mess and loaded with so many anti-consumer practices. Please do not ever post again and keep your ignorance and total lack of a clue to yourself.

      Have a great day young man/ladie

    • misinformed and misguided post*

      Post somehow got left out, gotta love $ony and their archaic forums.

    • Playing online on PS actually used to be free

    • You’re fine giving your money away? Might as well give you my PayPal info so you can send me that extra money you have to burn. It’s not entitlement to expect a good return on your investment. I have no problem with them raising the price $10 if it means we get better offerings in terms of the plus games. Overall, the games have primarily been indie trash in the past. Sure, there have been a couple AAA games! But mostly indies. A lot of people do not like indies. For those that do, good for you. This price increase better increase the rate of AAA titles being released. I don’t expect new games. You seem to forget Sony as a selling point on their consoles for the PS3 said unlike XBox they would never charge you for playing online…. Oops… Hopefully this extra 10 dollars isn’t a blatant cash grab with Sony justifying it by comparing their service price to XBox’s.

    • It’s $10 more THIS TIME. And it’s +$10 EACH…now how many people you think are on PS Plus? I hear you on maintenance and all that, but just the price increase alone is a profit for Sony.

  • You do realise that no amount of *****ing is going to make sony reduce the new price of ps+ membership so I see no reason why you feel the need to persistently complain about it, the price has gone up deal with it or don’t pay again it’s your choice but Sony are a business and have a right to charge whatever price they choose to. They have experts making these decisions they based on years of market research it’s not just some out of the blue I fancy raising the price of ps+

    • But what about the loyal gamers? The ones that fought over an “XBox is better than PS” comment? The gamers that bought every Final Fantasy game but still think FF7 is the best? The people that bought 3 different versions of the PS3 because it was their favorite game system?

      Throughout all the whoopings Sony has taken, which is alot, Playstation stayed afloat thanks to it’s loyal fans. The saying “the customer is always right” was made for a reason.

  • Is this ever going to happen? It’s the 5th and still on August games!!!

    • You are absolutely right. A full weekend and a day has past and we’re still not seeing any changes. I’m itching to play Journey and LoTF. Just so you know ^^

    • PS+ free games are updated on the first tuesday of the month. it has always been that way.

  • I like all the ps4 game we are getting every month , but please for the ps vita give us something good I don’t like the games we are getting for the vita. overall u guys are doing a good job

  • Great line up this month!! Can’t wait to play Journey

  • Yeah! I’ve played Journey on PS3 and really liked it. But never played to Lords of the Fallen but look great.

  • Bull****. When are you going to give us a good game. Had PS Plus since Feb 2016 and the only good game has been NBA 2K16

    • it’s all opinion. i don’t like sports games at all so NBA 2k16 was a waste in my mind, while Journey is a an amazing game to get.

    • I got both 2K16 and Journey because I actually recognize these games. I think Saint’s Row was available for PS4 sometime in between these, but do yall recognize any of the other games that have been on PS Plus?

      Neither do I.

  • So when do you update the monthly games? It’s still last months games for me :/

  • It’s a nice line-up, one of best in months… Regretably for a veteran buyer like me, only the PS Vita title means “a new game”.
    I’m sure I’ll be luckier, somehow, next month.

  • So it’s now the 5th of September when are these “September” games goin to b available???

  • Lords of the Fallen? Sweet! I played it on Xbox and I thought it was great! Journey looks great as well!

  • Nice one sony. I got married this summer, so i missed out on the sales and these games would have been on my list.

    Folks try and remember that you only paying about £5 a month, so why expect AAA Games. Lords of the fallen is basically a softcore bloodborne and journey won a ton of awards.
    Id say that was worth it.

  • Honestly most of the Ps plus games are quite bad and compared to Xbox gold games they are terrible I have both PS4 and Xbox and this month Xbox brought forza horizon 1 with backwards compatibility to xb1 and we have yet another indie game. Then although lords of the fallen seems a good game why can’t we have another multiplayer game like rocket league, or hardware: rivals????
    Sony/PlayStation really needs to up its “Game” if you want to keep customers and/or get more people to buy.

    Also one other thing I wouldn’t mind seeing backwards compatibility for games like black ops/black ops 2 I know its on the wrong thread but just saying.

    • Yeah, I’ve been thinking about switching to xbox and sell both my PS3 and PS4 now.
      I’ve been playing PS since the 90’s but I’m fed up with Sony!

    • Also, you can only keep your PS Plus games while you have your membership. So what does PS Plus offer you? Online gameplay, 2 free game rentals every month (not of your choice), and discounts on games that you can usually find cheaper anywhere else. And don’t get me started on PS Movies or PS Now either!

      Looks like Playstation is taking advantage of the devoted fans they’ve had for decades and penny pinching them in every way possible. I mean, what are friends for?

  • What time are they released it’s 1:30 in the morning here (Central European Time).
    Just give me any time zone, I’ll figure it out!!

  • Every month people cry.
    Every month you complain about the same things, as if just discovered.
    Every month SONY doesnt care.
    Every month the service delivers wether you like one or no parts of it.
    Every month you have a choice.
    Choices are often silent.
    Please stop whining. Please

  • best month this year I guess

  • When is it coming in Australia

  • It’s 6 september and i want to know, when we will get this month line-up?

  • I still only can download the games from August? I have Playstation plus so thats not the problem, can someone help me?

  • I can still only download the free games from august? i have playstation plus so thats not the problem.

  • 11:35am
    6th of sept and still not in the store for EU…

  • Hi how come they are not out yet, been checking PSN the whole day today but the games are not updated yet? :(

  • What day of september are they dropping? Its already the 6th

  • Do you have a exact time you put this up

  • Still august game? Come on

  • I just turned off auto-renew due to the big Canadian price increase from $50 to $70 that they fail to mention in this article. I don’t play online and it’s just not worth it anymore.

  • you think we will be able to download this any time soon? its the 6th already, payed with price increase and all and still can’t download these games…. step up sony… the only reason we pay for this is to play online. In my opinion you should give a lot of money to Rockstar and any other game that keeps updating an online game for free, cus if it wasnt for them RIP ps plus

  • I think this is a decent list. Wish I had not bought Lords of the Fallen, Journey, and Prince of Persia beforehand. Darn me and my inability to pass up good sales!

  • I love how everyone is all like we’ll be able to get these games the first tuesday of the month. Well guess what it’s the first tuesday fo september, games are still not available. Not getting Lords of the Fallen though, we have Xbox Live as well, and Lords of the Fallen was free a few months ago and my husband didn’t like it. Interested in Journey though.

  • The games come with the first store update of the month. In NA the store updates on Tuesday. In Eu the store updates Wednesday. On the rare occasion that the 1st of the month is on a Wednesday, Eu waits until the next week. NA always gets the Playstation Plus games one day before EU.

  • Looking forward to finally playing Journey. And Amnesia…well, I won’t say no to a visual novel, but a dating sim? Really?? I don’t mind, but that’s a…strange choice.

    Oh well. At least they’re not even more shooters (which all seem the same to me in the way that all JRPGs must seem the same to guys who only like shooters).

    The way I see it, if I like even one game every single month, I come out ahead, so I’m happy.

  • The psn network has ben down way longer than usual for the monthly update, why is that?

  • WHAT A MONTH!

    I am very happy with this months free games, they are amazing.

    some months have been really bad, but for example the month when you let us have nba2k16, that was a beast month. And now this, i got to say playstation you guys are suprising me with good, free games lately.

    if i was eminem now, i would probably say ” playstation please stand up, please stand up” :P

    Thank you all for these amazing games <3

  • Everything this month’s lineup is fine… with the exception of that PSVITA game called Amnesia: Memories. It’s an otome visual novel genre game and it’s made for girls public. I’m disappointed it was selected when there are better games for both genres of Plus members on PSN… Hope next month to show a better lineup on Vita. Thanks for the other games PS+ crew

  • I just got these two games and I look forward to playing them! Journey was a PSN that I’ve had interest in, and Lord of Fallen is actually a full PS4 game, Day 1 Edition to add. It’s almost like Playstation was listening to me complain about that, because I was getting annoyed with the price increase on the membership when all the freebies that were offered were throw-aways. (No offense to the game makers)

    My other issue is the new statement that pops up when you get a free PS Plus game. You only have the free game until the end of your subscription, then once it ends, the game is gone. I can see how that is an effective marketing technique for a new product/service, but not so much when PS has been allowing people to get and own free games through PS Plus. This is similar to the free online gameplay that was allowed on PS3 and then taken away on the PS4.

    So why does Playstation give us what we want and then take it back to raise the price? I’ve been a loyal PS gamer for nearly 20 years now, but I’m frustrated with how Playstation has been conducting business recently. Anyone else feel the same?

    But to bring it back home, these games are worth checking out! Get em while you can!

  • Congrts you finally made the PS vita games available…only the anime one thoe… I need to go on ps4 ,download badlands there and on my vita go on to downloads and get it there…such hastle,many wow

  • I have a PS Vita, PS3 and PS4 so the value for money for me is great. My only quarrel is that games that are added for the month should be free to access every month thereafter. I was on honeymoon when Abe came available for the Vita and now I can’t get it for free.

  • Well, Well, Well…nothing special this month, in my opinion. Although I disagree with paying a monthly fee to access MY internet on MY console to play MY game on MY television (SEE THE THEME HERE), I do understand the business side of it, BUT much better content is needed to make PS-PLUS feel like a deal, and at the moment I feel it’s a ripoff and I get NO use out of it besides, online play for one game at the moment BO3. I have no need for the movie or TV show discounts, game discounts are of no need to me, since most games I purchase are 1st day releases, most free games are just (BAD GAMES)…

    The last game…(the ONLY game) I’ve enjoyed on PS Plus was Dust An Elysian Tail, that was years ago.

    Well, I’ll just pull up my big boy pants, count this month as like so many others (a lost ), renew my subscription when the time is due and EXPECT NO GREATNESS TO BE AWAITING!

  • i’ve grabbed the other games offered up this month, but Datura still isn’t showing up in the store… SONY, can you fix that please?

    • It’s in the store, but you have to search for it. It ought to be in the usual list of “free” Plus games, but it isn’t for some (probably accidental) reason.

      I only caught the mistake by accident: I felt like something was missing, so I referred back to this post and the list of “free” Plus games on Wikipedia. Was reminded of Datura. It’s in the store as a “free” Plus game this month.

      tl;dr search

  • I retract part of my previous comment, I wasn’t aware that the game Badlands was part of the PS4 free games, this game is very enjoyable indeed!

  • I was hoping for better like 2k16 or cod ghosts or bf4 it would be good to get a good game

  • Ok so a long time ago when Injustice was added to the Instant Collection line up I have purchased all the free games that month. When I finally decided to download it and check it out before the sequel is released it asked me to pay for it. I figured out that store is glitched and not showing all free games every time. I contacted support to get Injustice for free – they did not want to help me at all. I have been with Plus since beginning – so disappointed with how I was treated.
    Now when I am trying to download all the free games, Datura is not showing up. Same story. Got screenshot.

    • Unfortunately, it appears that Datura was left off this month’s “free” offerings in the Plus section of the store. But a quick search for the game reveals it is indeed available as a “free” game this month. I have no doubt that games can disappear without warning from the store or from one’s download list. Customer service reps can be unhelpful. But in this case, the game is there to “buy” without issue. At least for me (and for now).

  • Am I the only one who is not getting Trophies from Journey. I completed it once and I played it again but not a single trophy was given to me. It doesn’t even have a trophy folder of its own. Any idea on what’s happening?

  • So we got prince of persia, pacifist edition. And dark souls, legend of the knight with a one shot sword combo and a shield that becomes a generic enemy. Along with the warden

  • Borderlands: The Handsome Collection would be nice one month please :-)

  • Lord of Fallen, At Last !! a good game for PS4 !!
    i was thinking that this PSplus membership was onloy for a Indie games for PS4…..a phone games….
    But this is great.
    I hope this will be happen more than one month on a year.
