Overview

  • The September selections are Psychonauts 2 (PS4), Stardew Valley (PS4), and Viewfinder (PS4, PS5), available to add starting Tuesday, September 2.
  • Subscribers have until September 1 to add August’s games—Lies of P, DayZ, and My Hero One’s Justice 2—before they rotate out.
  • Essential titles can be played as long as membership remains active, and they appear for all regions by local noon on release day.
  • Players are advised to claim these via the Essential entitlement rather than any future Extra catalog listing to avoid license conflicts.
  • Psychonauts 2 is offered as a PS4 build (running up to 60 FPS on PS5), Viewfinder is a BAFTA‑recognized puzzle game, and Stardew Valley has sold over 40 million copies.
