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.

    Not only will I not be coming back to PS Plus, I’m going to sell my PS5. This isn’t the same Sony that I grew to love.

    What disturbed mind came up with the idea to increase the value of subscriptions in such a wild way??? This is all a joke!

    Look, if the VR2 has been a commercial disaster, there was no need for ordinary users to pay the consequences. I just don’t understand it, Playstation has had more than positive numbers for hardware and software sales. Why the hell shoot yourself in the feet and make users angry?

    I was honestly really excited to get into the PS5 generation since it looked like the PS4 generation was so good, one of those reasons being super pro-consumer! But honestly, with what’s happening now with these price increases on games + services I’m extremely disappointed as a new person to the PlayStation ecosystem. I really hope Sony backpedals on this decision, it’s such bad timing when Saints Row is the game you get for simply paying to play online.

    Wow, crazy. Actually, I found this one weird trick to discount my subscription all the down to $0! All you gotta do is go to subscription management and click this little button that says “Cancel”. I’ll be saving $120(or I guess $160 now) come next renewal period! Try it out and see for yourself!

    This is unacceptable and robbery. The line up of games does not co.e close to justify this price increase. I’m a casual gamer and my controllers are already starting to ha e stick drift. And from what I’ve read I’m not the only one having problems with this. I had my ps4 for 6-7 years and in all that time never once did I have issues with my controllers and at that time I gamed way more. I’m not sure what is going on with you Sony but you have me seriously considering switching my gaming platform. And I just bought a second ps5 for my daughter this last week and I’m really starting to wonder if this was a good investment. I hope through all the feedback you take a good look at all of the concerns of your customers. And rethink some of your choices. Because we will be!

    When can we expect confirmation of the price hike for Canada? With the exchange rate at present the USD converts to $216 CND per year for Premium. That amounts to more than a 50% (!) increase from the current $140 sub.

    This could’ve been implemented so much better than what it was. Articulating clearly *how* this significant price hike would be leveraged for PlayStation would’ve been a good start. This was planned internally awhile back, so why wasn’t the Sea of Stars launch rejigged as support for more day 1 high quality launch titles and better support than we’ve seen in years for indies? It could’ve been pushed as “with this price change, we can bring more high quality indies like X, and more of the AAA games you love”.

    Instead todays Essential lineup was pretty lack lustre for reasons already stated by so many fans. Tacking on the price hike at the end of this blog was pretty shameful and an obvious effort to bury the lede. Why customers weren’t given this information weeks or months ago instead of just days furthers the impression that Sony isn’t concerned in the slightest with any pushback. The close of this blog with a link to cancelling your sub clearly tells us the intended take away message for customers: “if you don’t like it, there’s the door”.

    Sony just likes taking L after L lately. A massive price increase along with another terrible offering of games. Looks like I won’t be renewing this year and be playing my ps5 very sparingly (SM-2,Rebirth) and sticking mostly to PC. Hope the backlash from this big because you very much deserve it Sony, you’re long over due for a wake up call.

  • Zig_Justice

    These price changed are an egregious display of corporate greed. It’s especially galling that, at current exchange rates, the new price for the Essential tier in USD works out to the same as the Extra tier in JPY.

    I’ve been a subscriber since the PS3 era because the service provided good value in my opinion. This drastically changes the value proposition of the service and I will be reconsidering my expenditures accordingly. I hardly think that I am alone.

  • asthmatic419

    Price increases are inevitable especially with any subscription based service that we all put up with these days, but increasing 12 months by $20, $35 and $40 respectively? That is absolutely disgusting. A small/reasonable increase is one thing, but these type of amounts are completely out of line on so many levels. As someone who has been an avid Playstation user since the original PS1, I’m saddened to see where things have got to now. Especially in a time where people are struggling financially more than ever, this is a real slap in the face. Pure, unadulterated greed.

  • SaigaXGenma

    This price increase is absolutely ridiculous. It doesn’t help that September’s essential games are mediocre to trash at best.

    Was $60 to $120 not enough for you? Sure, you discount stuff on Black Friday but it’ll still be more then what it was previously. Absolutely disappointed.

  • DoctorKwakkwak

    “This price adjustment will enable us to continue bringing high-quality games and value-added benefits to your PlayStation Plus subscription service” they said. Ha it is a lie. You did not bring anything new on the table. Monthly games are trash, you cannot download ps1-ps3 games on your ps4 to play them instead of streaming and yet you dare to increase the price. I am sorry I am ps fan but this is a no for me. My subscription will end next year. I guess I am not gonna continue to subscribe even if there is sale of 50 percent off on black friday or boxing day. Sony is screwing their costumers over and over. Glad I subscribed more on Nintendo Online Expansion Pack Rather than this. You just lost a lot of customer because of this. I just hope a lot of people will cancel their membership and not continue their membership with you.

  • stage300handsome

    And what do you justify the price increase on? Its not like its been worth it no matter what the price of the crap games go for. This has been the best month with Sea of Stars that alot of people wouldve bought. But the premium and extra have been nothing but the two former services rolled into one for a higher price. Not but once have we seen but two games on there people wanted access to, and the was the Wild arms series and Legend of Dragoon, yet to see legend of legia or any other series. And if its just going to be a Sony only library or what. Thats why Nintendo is winning right now, and even though microsoft doesnt have much in the way of games that dont appeal to just the west, they at least release everything and took the step Playstation started with backwards compatability and the backlog library. I dont see this going well for Sony in the longterm.

  • Moofboy

    So no dedicated blog for price hike. Yet its an insult to announce it on crappy month games. Consumers are so dumb nowadays and no backlash. People pleading with companies saying please give us good games instead of canceling thier ps plus and a huge backlash.

    Suck it Playstation and Jim Ryan, I havent had PS Plus since last 2 years. I knew as soon as jim ryan became ceo. It was all going downhill from ps4 era.He only cares about profits.

    – so many Free to play online games.
    – Most ps plus games and games in general are crap nowadays
    – Plus not supporting sony with pay to play online.

    I’ve been a subscriber since the PS3 days (granted with a couple of lapses during busy years), and I even sprang for the premium tier when that rolled out, but I won’t be renewing at these prices. I’m never one to voice my opinion on these things because I know I’m just one sale of billions, but I just felt the need to join the chorus and say that the offerings from PS Plus have arguably not been worth the current price, and are certainly not worth these new prices.

    Way to sell out!!! Time to dissolve the geriatric board of decision makers! If anybody under 40 sees this comment get out while you have a chance! This is the beginning of the end! If any Sony executives see this, this is your legacy. Think about what your name will represent in the future. Don’t give up!!!

    Thank god for this blowing up with the games media, as burying this price hike in a pretty mediocre PS+ blog post is really anti-consumer.

    I’ve joined PSN since launch, and pretty much consistently subscribed to ps+ since the beginning but this increase is absolutely ludicrous.

    There isn’t a reason on this planet I’ll be subscribing PSextortion at those prices.

    Since you won’t unban my husband’s PSN account for a refund he got from you all turning Auto-renew on after his PS4 died, we had been fighting to get the ban lifted (2 years on that front) so that he can access the $10,000+ worth on content purchased…we stopped trying to get the ban lifted, I let my account lapse back in April and this price increase adds to the growing reasons why we’ve taken out business elsewhere.

  • stage300handsome

    And I have to add with every poor descision being made since Jim Ryan took over and the team he has employed, its almost like it was an inside hit job from Microsoft to ruin this once on top gaming company. Its been lack of games every year, cutting out the Japanese market for the west, nobody wants to play old games, making a product with no support or that a limited consumers would actually buy, a really bad launch of the PS5 and PSVR 2 and the coming up streaming handheld nobody wanted over a real mobile device that would work standalone, the pifff poor state of plays with nothing of interest and not much from all these studios you put under one roof, I dont even want to start on the incentive programs, but the PS plus reboot has been crap from before the reboot and the person in charge doesnt much care about the core customers buying it, then we hear its 22 or 23 online service games that nobody wants, great you want to do one but get a team and brainstrom up one and free up devs to actually make single player games. Because a launch of games and then a handful more before you launch another console isnt going to fly, which is why the PS3 and 4 are still being used a lot even if they have a PS5 its a PS4 game being played a lot.

    That’s a big fat FU to the +subs I think Jimmy is being salty & it clearly shows with that monthly lineup & increase price he probably still mad about Phil acquiring Activision & Betesda & taking it out on the little guy not our Fault you got beat & bought a useless Bungie IP I might cancel or keep PS+ don’t know yet also that PlayStation Portal Q gonna flop so hard no wifi can’t download games for offline play I would rather just buy a SteamDeck.🤦

This is a completely out of touch move, you first announce a bunch of mediocre titles for the service and in the same post grant us a price increase for said service? Really? Wrong move, you keep losing the goodwill of people. This feels really similar to the PS3 launch tbh. I’m glad I can Play most games on PC nowadays because this? this ain’t it Sony.

    Good, I can save more money every March now. I’m done, $59.99 was already highway robbery to me anyway. Was rarely ever a game I’d bother to download every month, or have owned others since launch anyway… Most I ever got out of it was the cloud storage. Guess I will just go back to back up thumb drives for that. I can play all of the games I’ve been playing with my group of friends on the PC for $0 a month. Thanks for nothing!

    Just give us a cheaper tier to play games online. I don’t even play the games included with Essential so why should I pay $80? Also why is Japan on $47?
    I’ve been subscribed since this service started and this is the first time I won’t resubscribe. It’s just not worth the price anymore.

    I hope you read this Jim Ryan. This is [DELETED] . You’re raising prices to provide better content? The hell you are. Let me get this straight you want consumers to pay a whopping $80 just to play with thier friends online? You’re completely out of your mind. Yes, I’m upset. As a all time fan of playstation products this right here, is very low. Not even Xbox ultimate is that ridiculously expensive. At least Microsoft has a nice backlog of backward-compatibility games to support their prices. To top it off they also provide day first game releases like Starfield yet you want to nickel and dime the hard working class, unbelievable! I know plenty of hard working class ppl that pay for your premium svc for a trash library of washed up games. Where’s the Ps3 and ps2 libary as promised? Wheres the retro content that you also promised the consumers for buying your highest tier. Consumer can barely afford $80 for a full game. Now you’re stripping their chance to play online with with friends. At least Xbox provides a better quality of games just for a simple affordable price. I truly hope ppl stand up for this. Enough is enough you greedy [DELETED].

    PlayStation Plus price increase?! They can’t be serious. Jim Ryan is extremely out of control with these prices. They need to keep the prices the way it is. Sony needs to listen to customers and feedbacks. This price increase, in my point of view, is just a bit too far.

    You could have at least given out good games the month you decide to announce this.
    I could see $10, but $40 increase? That’s absurd. The way you have trickled in classics to the point I forgot they’re even a thing makes that a definite no for Premium again. I didn’t see the value at $120 and I can in no way see value at $160 with how sad the updates are.

    Honestly, if this months games are any sign of the quality, as someone who doesn’t play online I’m doubting if I’ll even renew basic at this point…and I’ve had it every year since launch day.
