Overview

  • All three titles enter the PlayStation Plus Essential monthly games on Tuesday, September 2, and August’s games can be added through September 1.
  • Platform details: Psychonauts 2 (PS4) and Stardew Valley (PS4) run on PS5 via backward compatibility, while Viewfinder is available on PS5 and PS4.
  • Claimed monthly games remain playable as long as the member keeps an active PlayStation Plus subscription.
  • Sony has signaled that PS4 titles will no longer be a key monthly benefit starting in January 2026, framing September’s PS4 listings as part of a transition period.
  • Outlets remind subscribers not to grab the Essential versions through the Extra catalog if they appear there, since doing so can affect long-term access licenses.
