Overview
- Sony officially announced that PlayStation Plus Essential members can claim Sniper Elite: Resistance, Chained Echoes, Wobbly Life, and MLB The Show 26 beginning Sept. 1.
- An early Dealabs leak correctly named Sniper Elite: Resistance, Chained Echoes, and Wobbly Life but did not include MLB The Show 26, which Sony added in its official reveal.
- Outlets disagree on the removal date for the September slate, with Polygon reporting availability until Oct. 5 and several others reporting Oct. 6, so members should claim games before early October.
- MLB The Show 26 stands out because it launched in March 2026, making its arrival on PS Plus only about six months after release and boosting the month’s perceived value for subscribers.
- Players have reacted positively to the mix of a recent AA shooter, a retro JRPG, a physics sandbox co‑op, and a first‑party sports title, and redeemed games remain playable while a user keeps an active Essential subscription.
