September 2026 is shaping up to be an unusually wide-ranging month for the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog. The newly confirmed selection spans fantasy, wrestling, romance simulation, action, stealth shooting, puzzle-led exploration, retro role-playing and post-apocalyptic survival. RuneScape: Dragonwilds, WWE 2K26 and Ball x Pit lead the incoming group for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members, while Premium also receives Mega Man X Command Mission and Metro Redux.
The key detail, however, is timing. The schedule is not identical everywhere this month. Most territories receive the full selection on September 15, but players in the US, UK and Japan will see several games arrive later across September. Date Everything! is the exception at the start of the month: it begins arriving on September 9 in the US and UK, September 10 in Japan, and September 15 in other regions.
That staggered approach means a September list can look slightly different depending on where a subscriber checks it. The good news is that the lineup itself is clearly defined; the important thing is matching each game to the date assigned to a player’s territory and subscription tier. For a service month that otherwise appears to be built around big, immediate headline additions, the calendar has chosen a more chaotic alignment—like a wrestling entrance timed to three different arena clocks.
The September 2026 PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium games
Both PlayStation Plus Extra and PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers can access the main Game Catalog additions. The September slate contains eight games, with platform support split between PS5-only releases and titles available across PS4 and PS5.
- RuneScape: Dragonwilds — PS5 — available globally September 15
- WWE 2K26 — PS5 — available globally September 15
- Ball x Pit — PS5 — September 15 in most regions; September 22 in the US, UK and Japan
- Date Everything! — PS5 — September 9 in the US and UK, September 10 in Japan, and September 15 elsewhere
- Slitterhead — PS4 and PS5 — September 15 in most regions; September 22 in the US, UK and Japan
- Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound — PS4 and PS5 — September 15 in most regions; September 29 in the US, UK and Japan
- Dungeons of Hinterberg — PS4 and PS5 — September 15 in most regions; September 29 in the US, UK and Japan
- Sniper Elite: Resistance — PS4 and PS5 — September 15 in most regions; September 29 in the US, UK and Japan
As a trio of high-profile PS5 additions, RuneScape: Dragonwilds, WWE 2K26 and Ball x Pit give the month an eclectic front line. Dragonwilds carries the RuneScape name into a PS5 release, WWE 2K26 brings the annual wrestling series into the catalog, and Ball x Pit rounds out the top group. All three are set for September, but Ball x Pit is one of the titles affected by the regional delay in the US, UK and Japan.
The difference in platform coverage is worth noting for subscribers who still regularly play on PS4. RuneScape: Dragonwilds, WWE 2K26, Ball x Pit and Date Everything! are listed for PS5. Slitterhead, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, Dungeons of Hinterberg and Sniper Elite: Resistance are listed for both PS4 and PS5, giving the cross-generation side of the catalog a substantial share of this month’s offerings.
September’s quieter standouts have very different energy
Not every worthwhile catalog addition needs to enter under spotlights and pyrotechnics. Date Everything! is described as an indie romance simulator, an immediately unusual premise for the month’s mix of action, combat and survival games. It is also the earliest arriving title for US and UK subscribers, landing September 9, followed by Japan on September 10. Everywhere else receives it September 15.
Slitterhead adds a suspenseful adventure to the lineup and reaches most regions on September 15. Players in the US, UK and Japan should instead mark September 22. Its PS4 and PS5 availability makes it one of September’s more accessible additions from a console-generation standpoint.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is also coming to both PlayStation generations listed here, although its rollout is split more sharply: September 15 in most regions and September 29 in the US, UK and Japan. Those same dates apply to Dungeons of Hinterberg and Sniper Elite: Resistance, meaning the final week of the month is particularly busy in the three territories on the altered schedule.
Dungeons of Hinterberg may be especially appealing for players who want an adventure that moves between two complementary rhythms. It combines Zelda-like puzzle elements with the social side of getting to know residents through day-to-day interactions in a small town. That blend makes it quite unlike the more direct, adrenaline-first options surrounding it. September’s catalog is not simply offering different genres; it is offering different pacing, from the patient routine of local relationship building to long-range firefights and wrestling spectacle.
Sniper Elite: Resistance provides the latter kind of contrast, arriving as the lineup’s long-distance shooting option. With PS4 and PS5 versions listed, it shares the broadest platform coverage among the new Extra and Premium games. Subscribers in most regions can play it September 15, while the US, UK and Japan wait until September 29.
For another example of how differently modern games can approach familiar adventures and legacy series, see Persona 4 Revival’s effort to expand character material while retaining its original cast. September’s PlayStation Plus list similarly has room for games whose appeal rests in mood, character interaction or a more specific genre hook rather than one shared blockbuster template.
Premium receives Mega Man X Command Mission and Metro Redux
PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers receive two additions beyond the shared Game Catalog slate: Mega Man X Command Mission and Metro Redux. Both are available globally on September 15, which makes their scheduling notably simpler than the region-by-region rollout affecting several Extra and Premium titles.
- Mega Man X Command Mission — PS4 and PS5 — available globally September 15
- Metro Redux — PS4 — available globally September 15
Mega Man X Command Mission brings a retro RPG option to Premium on both PS4 and PS5. Its presence gives the subscription’s upper tier a title with a distinctly different identity from the month’s action-heavy newer catalog additions. Metro Redux, meanwhile, is listed for PS4 and adds a post-apocalyptic entry to Premium’s September offering.
There is a useful pattern to the Premium-specific pair: both arrive everywhere on the same day, September 15. That means Premium members outside the US, UK and Japan can find the full announced September selection on that date. In the three territories with staggered timing, the majority of additions will also be available then, but Ball x Pit and Slitterhead follow on September 22, while Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, Dungeons of Hinterberg and Sniper Elite: Resistance close out the month on September 29.
A date-by-date checklist for the regional rollout
For subscribers in regions outside the US, UK and Japan, September 15 is the central date. RuneScape: Dragonwilds, WWE 2K26, Ball x Pit, Slitterhead, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, Dungeons of Hinterberg, Sniper Elite: Resistance, Mega Man X Command Mission and Metro Redux are all available that day, while Date Everything! joins them after its earlier regional launches.
For the US and UK, the practical order is Date Everything! on September 9; RuneScape: Dragonwilds, WWE 2K26, Mega Man X Command Mission and Metro Redux on September 15; Ball x Pit and Slitterhead on September 22; then Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, Dungeons of Hinterberg and Sniper Elite: Resistance on September 29.
Japan follows the same later September pattern for Ball x Pit, Slitterhead, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, Dungeons of Hinterberg and Sniper Elite: Resistance. Its only difference at the beginning is Date Everything!, which is scheduled for September 10 rather than September 9.
The September 2026 Game Catalog ultimately offers a dense collection with a deliberately mixed set of genres and platforms. Whether a player is after WWE 2K26’s ring action, Dragonwilds’ fantasy setting, Dungeons of Hinterberg’s puzzle-and-community balance, Sniper Elite: Resistance’s long-range focus, or Premium’s retro RPG and Metro additions, the only real boss battle is remembering which September Monday belongs to which region.
