Free PS Plus Games For September 2017 On PS4, PS3, Vita Announced

Here's what you'll be playing for free in September if you're a Plus subscriber.

103 Comments

Update: It turns out the reason that North America and Europe's PlayStation Plus lineups were so different is because the former list included the wrong games. All four games for PS3 and Vita were announced incorrectly; PS3 owners will actually get Truck Racer and Handball 16, while Vita owners receive We Are Doomed and Hatoful Boyfriend. Both Vita games support PS4 Cross-Buy. We've updated the list at the bottom of this post with the correct games. The original story follows.

With August drawing to a close, it's nearly time for the next batch of free games for PlayStation Plus subscribers to arrive. Sony today announced what titles will be offered in North America next month, and it includes another six spread across PS4, PS3, and Vita.

Now Playing: Free PS4/PS3/Vita PlayStation Plus Games For September 2017 Revealed

On PS4, Plus members get Strike Vector EX and Infamous: Second Son. The former is a first-person air combat game, while Second Son is the third game in the Infamous series, and the first released on PS4. It stars a new character and isn't to be confused with its spin-off, First Light, which was free through Plus back in January 2015. Additionally, from September 5 through November 7, PSVR owners will get Rigs for free.

Both of Vita's games, Hue and Sky Force Anniversary support PS4 Cross-Buy, getting players on that platform a total of five games in September. PS3 gets three games: Monster Jam Battlegrounds and Hustle Kings, as well as Sky Force Anniversary (which also features PS3 Cross-Buy).

As an added bonus on PS4, Plus members will be able to play Dead by Daylight for free from September 15-18. It will also be on sale for 30% from then until September 22. A free Neverwinter Plus pack will be available from September 16 through October 16.

Notably, this is the first month in a while that the PS Plus list for Europe differs from the one for North America; you can see Europe's free PS Plus games for September here.

The new batch of freebies arrives next Tuesday, September 5. August's free PS Plus games remain available until then; if you haven't already, you can still claim them. There are some really fun games included, such as Just Cause 3 and Downwell.

Back to giving us shitty indie games I see... and I thought that Infamous would be a really fun game but it was a very mediocre, since the beginning of the game drags on for so damn long and the game never lets you skip cutscenes.

In Europe we get Infamous and Child of Light. I like both games, but i already have/had them. Child of Light is one of the very few games that i never deleted from my HD, i always wanted to play it again. More games should have a NG+ mode with increased difficulty. NG+ with the same difficulty feels like a waste of time to me, yet some games do it anyway (Dishonored 2, Last of Us).

"We are Doomed" is great title for Vita game, though :)

I have enjoyed Infamous back on release... but good game and nice to see more AA going into + library.

Strike Vector - anyone played it on PC before?

Infamous was a fun game and it's not of my usual genre, glad it got a pro patch.

A little late for a launch title but glad to finally see them coming. Infamous and Killzone completely blew my mind when I first hooked up my PS4 on my 125" projection screen. Luckily for those that never tried Infamous, it has a beautiful Pro patch making it one the best looking games out there even by today's standards.

@smileyoreilly86: How is it going to blow it out of the water? You do realize that you shouldn't put your console in water. Right? I guess that's what happens when you don't have any awesome exclusives/console exclusives to play and all you can say is my console has more power than yours. If you cannot get into a games story and gameplay enough to just care about how amazing it looks you must not be a true gamer because being a gamer is playing games from big to small and from indie to AAA. Besides, Most people who care about graphics already have a rig that can run games at native 4k, 120+fps and more settings to tweak and sorry to break it to you but PC is already working towards 8k.

Wait. They will give away InFamous, but still haven't pushed players into Killzone or given away Knack. Knack actually would make sense since Knack 2 is coming out, but no give away a game that A LOT more people already own.

@dev-raid1: it was expectations. People expected to be blown away by launch titles. Knack was far from good, but it wasn't that bad.
