Overview

  • All three titles are available to claim starting Tuesday, September 2, and the September set remains downloadable through October 6.
  • Platform details: Psychonauts 2 (PS4), Stardew Valley (PS4), and Viewfinder (PS5 and PS4), with only Viewfinder offering a native PS5 version.
  • 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.
  • Claimed monthly games stay in your library for play as long as your PlayStation Plus membership remains active on any tier.
  • Sony advises claiming from the Essential catalog rather than Extra or Premium to avoid losing long‑term access if a title later leaves the higher‑tier library.
