PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for September: Saints Row, Black Desert – Traveler Edition, Generation Zero 

New pricing changes to PlayStation Plus 12-Month plans.

Adam Michel Director, Game Services – Content, Sony Interactive Entertainment

It’s a new month, with a new lineup of PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for September. The Monthly Games lineup of Saints Row, Black Desert – Traveler Edition and Generation Zero will be available to PlayStation Plus members on Tuesday, September 5 until Monday, October 2. 

Let’s take a closer look at each of the games in turn. 

Saints Row | PS4, PS5 

Experience the biggest and best Saints Row playground ever created.  The unique sprawling world of Santo Ileso is the backdrop for a wild, larger than life sandbox of thrilling side hustles, criminal ventures and blockbuster missions, as you shoot, drive and wingsuit your way to the top. Take over the city block by block, wage war against enemy factions and tighten your grip on the streets. Play online with a friend at any time, via fully untethered drop-in / drop out co-op, skipping the need to take either of you out of the outlandish action. 

Black Desert – Traveler Edition | PS4 

Find your calling in this open-world fantasy MMORPG which boasts fast-paced PvE combat, large-scale PvP siege wars, multiple character classes and combat types to specialize in. You can also choose to dedicate yourself to a variety of pursuits, such as trade, fishing, horse training, alchemy, cooking, and gathering. The Traveler Edition is a bundle of the base game and multiple add-ons*. 

*Those add-ons collectively constitute The Traveler Item Pack, which is also available on PlayStation Store as a separate download. PlayStation Plus members who have already purchased any edition of Black Desert cannot redeem the full Traveler Edition bundle from PlayStation Plus. However, PlayStation Plus members who have already purchased any edition of Black Desert other than the Traveler Edition may redeem the standalone Traveler Item Pack from PlayStation Plus, instead. 

Generation Zero

This first-person open world adventure is set in a familiar but hostile open world of 1980s Sweden. Battle and survive deadly machine enemies alone or with three friends in seamless online co-op as you discover the truth behind what’s happened to the region. You must choose your battles wisely as you engage in adrenaline-pumping guerilla combat against these mechanical forces. Scavenge parts from your fallen enemies and use them to craft equipment, weapons and ammunition. Build and fortify your own bases across the island and start taking back your home. 

Last chance to download August’s Monthly Games 

PlayStation Plus members have until Monday, September 4 to add PGA Tour 2K23, Dreams and Death’s Door to their game library. 

We also wanted to let you know that starting September 6 we will be increasing the price for PlayStation Plus 12-month subscriptions globally across all benefit plans. This price adjustment will enable us to continue bringing high-quality games and value-added benefits to your PlayStation Plus subscription service. 

Here are the new prices for PlayStation Plus 12-month subscription plans.

PlayStation Plus Essential 12-Month Subscription
79.99 USD | 71,99 Euro | 59.99 GBP | 6,800 Yen

PlayStation Plus Extra 12-Month Subscription
134.99 USD | 125,99 Euro | 99.99 GBP | 11,700 Yen

PlayStation Plus Premium 12-Month Subscription
159.99 USD | 151,99 Euro | 119.99 GBP | 13,900 Yen

The new prices for the 12-Month subscription will remain at a discounted rate when compared to purchasing the 1-Month or 3-Month subscriptions over a 12-month period. 

For current 12-month subscribers, this price increase will not take effect until your next renewal date that occurs on or after November 6. However, any membership changes you make on or after September 6, such as upgrades, downgrades or buying additional time, will update your plan reflecting the new prices.  You can change or cancel your subscription at any time, details here.

We’ll notify current subscribers of these changes via email and will have additional details on our website soon.

    I have been a long time sony fan and customer for over 20 years but this is just a very anti consumer move.I am sad to say that if they raise the price I will be canceling my ps+ and just play single player games.Wake up sony this is more expensive than Microsoft

      • Me – The part we lost access to free games (via PS+) on “PlayStation 3” & “PlayStation Portable/Vita” an charging EXTRA for the “PlayStation Plus Essential”.😠

      …very “Anti-Consumer” of “SONY”. The latest news that we are seeing “Online Subscription” in “Declining” in 2023. Our economy & price of living looks pretty grim for average consumers. I think it’s about time to buy one of those “Steam Deck” I’ve been hearing about lately.

      Same here, I’ve bought every PlayStation since the first one, luckly I have an Xbox Series S and a gaming PC so I’ll not be subscribing to PS+ again.

  • Cat_Corye
    August 30, 2023 at 10:49 am PDT

    As much as I do believe Saints Row should be a free game, this isn’t exactly worth it😅

    Sony you want games that make people want PlayStation Plus not the opposite🤦🏼‍♂️

  • instrumental20
    August 30, 2023 at 10:50 am PDT

    Great i’m effectively being priced out of using PSN. To say i’m furious is understating it. I’m not gonna post the words that i want to say because then it would just be a wall of expletives, i’ll leave it to your inagination. This is a despicable move driven by greed and you are pricks for doing it.

      This is the first console generation that seems to be LOSING value. $70 games, free PS4 to PS5 game upgrades now becoming $10 each, less games per year, each game taking forever to make, price increases to consoles post-launch, unnecessarily expensive controllers with faulty analog sticks, and now subscription price increases… Such a powerful console, and yet L after L after L

    • PK_Haseo
      August 30, 2023 at 12:05 pm PDT

      $70 games an we still getting delays & day 1 patches.

  • srnibb7
    August 30, 2023 at 10:51 am PDT

    Wow those increase rates man… PS+ was more affordable than Gamepass and had the better line up IMO.
    Sony gotta be humbled from their high-horse. First the PSPortal not being bluetooth compatible, so then you gotta buy their 150-200$ earbuds or headsets now this.

  • DustyBlue
    August 30, 2023 at 10:53 am PDT

    These new prices are obscene, and coinciding this news with the headliner game of September being a game people wouldn’t even want for “free” is extra dirty. With escalating outrageousness for the higher tiers. Totally disastrous news. Sony arrogance phase has officially kicked into high gear. I’m so freaking sick of Jim Ryan. You’re gonna lose a lot of people with this.

  • BlackCatLucifer
    August 30, 2023 at 10:54 am PDT

    Game Pass keeps looking better and better. For this price ps+ isn’t worth it. Over 150€ AND paying full price for new releases? With THIS lineup of monthly games? Oh boy, no thanks.

    • Rob--M--
      August 30, 2023 at 11:13 am PDT

      GamePass will keep going up in price, once they’ve stopped people buying games.

    • PK_Haseo
      August 30, 2023 at 12:20 pm PDT

      Hate to say it but with “_box Game Pass Core” subscription cost $10 a month (or $60 a year)…You get: 1. “online multiplayer” support. 2. 25 Xbox Studios games. 3. Members “Deals & Discounts”.

      an that’s launching on September 14 2023 😎 “SONY”, the ball on your court now.

  • Snake2410
    August 30, 2023 at 10:54 am PDT

    Seriously? A $20 increase for basic? This is ridiculous. I usually don’t complain about price hikes but $20 is too much in one go for what’s being offered for the basic subscription. There is really no reason for it imop. This feels incredibly greedy to me. Please reconsider.

  • spartakick77
    August 30, 2023 at 10:54 am PDT

    Just downgraded from Extra to Essential. Will probably start looking to PC for any online games going forward. Not a great move Sony.

  • the_stickle_cell
    August 30, 2023 at 10:54 am PDT

    Yeah, it looks like I’m finally making the move to PC. That price hike is absurd.

  • Admiral_Broly
    August 30, 2023 at 10:54 am PDT

    This price increase is absolutely horrible and a spit in the face to loyal paying customers like myself. Shame you on you Playstation Sony this will only push me to cancel my subscription to play on PC!

  • TurtleAbortion
    August 30, 2023 at 10:54 am PDT

    I’ve been an essentials subscriber since ps3 times and I was on the fence about upgrading to extra or maybe premium but this price increase is the nail in the coffin for me. Unless I see a good renewal sale down the line, this is the end of ps+ for me.

  • Grendel2
    August 30, 2023 at 10:55 am PDT

    Thanks for the reminder to cancel my Plus subscription!

  • Ludikhris
    August 30, 2023 at 10:56 am PDT

    Yeah. This makes me rethink gaming entirely. Maybe I’m kinda done?

    With the back catalog I’ve accumulated, readily available emulation, and the trend for everything to be subscription based….. Maybe I just get off the gaming industry train and play the games I have using technologies that don’t cost a perpetual fee. I think it’s time to start consider that for a lot of us.

  • sadelle93
    August 30, 2023 at 10:56 am PDT

    Yikes. My yearly subscription renewed last month, but I won’t be renewing it again. I’ve been a subscriber since the PS3 but it’s over for me now.

    Will be migrating to using my PC more with game pass ultimate and the numerous other storefronts.

    PS5 will be reserved for exclusives and whatever else it will be good for.

  • deadcheeze
    August 30, 2023 at 10:57 am PDT

    Playstation hitting that pipe again. You announce these 3 mid at best games along with a price hike so you can continue to give us great games? What happened to all the great ps1 and 2 games we were promised? How are game trials worth the cost of that 3rd teir? Hint- they arent. Man this months games are trash and so is this price hike.

  • nola8bit
    August 30, 2023 at 10:57 am PDT

    Thank you Sony and Jim Ryan, I will gladly pay a few extra bucks for your stellar service.

    The Gran Turismo movie is incredible btw, even better than the Uncharted and Ratched & Clank movies.

    I already pre-ordered Playstation Portal, Pulse Explore earbuds and and the Pulse Elite headset for only $550 total, what a bargain!

    Sony just keeps on giving!

  • D_Salgueiro
    August 30, 2023 at 10:58 am PDT

    weak month and worse a price increase in the service, it looks like April 1st, it’s much worse than the competition, it’s just over 1 year old and it’s already €150 for ps plus premium

  • MoroKEN005
    August 30, 2023 at 10:59 am PDT

    Are you really expecting us to pay These crazy amounts of money to play online. [DELETED] is wrong with you. I have been playing Playstation since I was 10. Im so so so disappointed. PC here we come. Canceling my subscription. I aint paying 80 to play online What the actual [DELETED]

  • JonathanPerezPS
    August 30, 2023 at 11:01 am PDT

    If this new price is for day 1 for first first-party games, is a good move, but if the new price is for games like this month, I gonna cancel my subscription

  • faux-shadow
    August 30, 2023 at 11:02 am PDT

    This is too much, and there’s no justification for it, We’re basically being held hostage to play online at this point.

  • alexismartinez14
    August 30, 2023 at 11:04 am PDT

    Sorry Sony but after several years subscribed I’ll be cancelling this year. Your price increase is ridiculous, a 35% increase is unacceptable. I’d understand a 5 or 10% increase but this, this is pure greed. I hope you reverse this decision, if not, good luck with the backlash.

  • KnucklesX2
    August 30, 2023 at 11:05 am PDT

    We pay more for less on PlayStation nowadays. Last time I think I will buy ps plus for years probably and it expires before that.

  • albertmars

    Chill with the ps plus essential price hike. We shouldnt be paying $80 to play online. I might be selling my ps5 and build myself a gaming PC. Either that or only play f2p games like Apex or Warzone.

  • CybridZero
    August 30, 2023 at 11:08 am PDT

    Wow, what a bad move. You may want to reconsider this. Going to lose a lot of subscribers.

  • NMErickson
    August 30, 2023 at 11:08 am PDT

    This price hike can not stand. Is there a petition? Sony, at least introduce a tier without the free games, that’s a start.

  • alexismartinez14
    August 30, 2023 at 11:09 am PDT

    Sorry Sony but I will be cancelling this year. A 35% increase is ridiculous, I’d understand a 5 or 10% increase but this, this is pure greed.

  • Shapeshifter_dan
    August 30, 2023 at 11:09 am PDT

    That’s a tremendous price increase across all tiers that needs a proper detailed justification besides the generic “continuing to provide high-quality games” AND a marked increase on the quality of the offers, especially regarding the classic catalogue since it’s the main reason I’m with Premium.

    Communicate properly with your customers the cost structure of the catalogue, listen to feedback and adjust. Those new prices can’t be justified considering the atual offering. The atual catalogue is not bad, there’s good value in there but it cannot in any way justify a massive 33% increase up to 150€/year. Remove filler games from there if needed (no one is playing all these games anyway) and keep the price or lower it. I fear the way things are being done ‘en masse’ with all these games it’s just perverting game development and sustainability of the industry…

    Other good ideas, just separate the online requirement from the games, folks don’t have to take the whole cost if they either: 1. Don’t play the games. 2. Don’t play online. Since I don’t play online, I should only pay for the catalogue.

    So adjust, communicate, offer more options to people and I’ll consider mantaining the subscription, as of right now that will not happen.

    • PK_Haseo
      August 30, 2023 at 11:55 am PDT

      AGREE.

      The FACT that almost ALL games have free “online-play” on “PC”…”PlayStation” Should just offer a tier WITHOUT “PS+” Free games like you said.

      …in the “PS3” & “PSP/Vita” days we didn’t ask for free games from “SONY”, they just “shovelware” are these so called “value-added benefits”.

  • miraak_dohva
    August 30, 2023 at 11:09 am PDT

    I just cancelled my auto renew sub after 8 years. 80$ for playing online and monthly low tier games. I’ll just stick to my pc and xbox moving forward. Ps5 will probably be my last sony console after this. Honestly tired of all these greedy [DELETED] sony is pulling.

  • ZephyrStrife
    August 30, 2023 at 11:09 am PDT

    Yeah you guys go ahead with this PS+ Subscription plan and I’m done. This is just being greedy and unfair. You haven’t kept your promises for the higher tiers and now you want more money for that and essential (while giving out free games that did poorly on the review scale. Thanks for the garbage). I’m not giving you $80 usd (I’m from Canada so it’s even more ridiculous) to play online. I’ll switch to Xbox or stay on PC before I feed into this nonsense.

  • Rob--M--
    August 30, 2023 at 11:11 am PDT

    I’m currently on Premium but I’ll have to downgrade now. A step too far for me. Greed will be the death of PS.

  • sigmaklimsm
    August 30, 2023 at 11:11 am PDT

    What can I say about this situation. Well, first of all, Sony, you are making a very big mistake with raising prices for ps plus and make and make profitable xbox game pass. This is very overpriced, a lot of exclusives should be given for this, and so on. Secondly, you violated the agreement between ps plus subscribers, namely, you violated paragraph 4.(https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/legal/ps-plus-usage-terms/) Namely, you warn subscribers about the price increase 60 days after the price increase.

  • Diegoctba911
    August 30, 2023 at 11:12 am PDT

    This must be a parody, it’s not possible how incompetent and out of touch this new Sony is.
    How much Hulst and Ryan are being paid by Valve and Microsoft to obliterate PlayStation and move everything to PC? Do you want to leave console gaming and become a PC app? Just say it already and don’t waste anyone’s time.
    PS5 has no exclusives with everything going to PC, PSVR2 has no games at all, the new cloud device whatever it’s called is a joke itself.
    Joke of a company

    Gamepass is cheaper than this unreasonably high price. Might have to jump to green ship.

    $20 price increase for essential? are y’all insane? $40 increase for premium? Y’all are nuts. What possible reason is there for the price increase?

    “This price adjustment will enable us to continue bringing high-quality games and value-added benefits to your PlayStation Plus subscription service. ”

    Where is the high-quality games and value-added benefits? Y’all haven’t mentioned any added benefits..

    Sony is just giving people reasons to abandon your console and move to Xbox. At least I see the value in their service with day one releases.

    I understand now why “For the players” was changed

    • Nathansack
      August 30, 2023 at 11:36 am PDT

      Like i know i speak cause of the anger, but “again” a price increase whitout adding new stuffs is just not usefull, there is not a 4th game, not giving the “definitive” version of the games and not even the trust to have “only good games” on essential.

      When it was “For the players” it was aout giving the best service without abandoning the players that can’t buy a game every years can “get” 3 games every months, most of theses players didn”t get a PS5 cause the PS4 is enough, but also cause they don’t want to put 80€ for a game (or here a subscription for games),

      It’s just that i’m disappointed

  • Amrit316
    August 30, 2023 at 11:25 am PDT

    Would be much appreciated.

    August 30, 2023 at 11:26 am PDT

    Wooow, a 40$ price hike to premium. I thought it would be a 10$ maybe 15$ extra, but an extra 40$ is insane!! 3 months of Gamepass ultimate costs 40$ which it comes out to 120$ a year, same as premium, why is it getting such a high price hike to 160$? when at its price now is still debatable to get one or the other PS Premium or Gamepass?

    • Everlong_Attempt
      August 30, 2023 at 12:53 pm PDT

      I am so dumb, I was so angry with price hike I mathed wrong, in my head i did 4×3 = 12 = 1yr so 120$= 1 yr, I hate myself sometimes, oh well… still not happy with the 40$ hike.

  • starscream407
    August 30, 2023 at 11:27 am PDT

    This is a horrendous choice. 80 dollars for Essentials is just unsustainable. Why is playing online with friends costing more than you’re own first party games? If you want to stay ahead of the competition, lower the price of being able to play online. It’s already bad enough we have to pay just to access multiplayer, but at least make it affordable.

    Nintendo’s own servers might be the worst on the planet, but at least it doesn’t cost so much to play online. And Xbox at least lets us back up our saves without needing to be subbed. This doesn’t look good on Sony at all. I very much will not be renewing my subscription.

  • OttoT
    August 30, 2023 at 11:27 am PDT

    And another service I won’t continue when it laps. The price hike doesn’t reflect the games we get, above that life is getting more and more expensive and this will go.
