At the end of the month, the new freebies for PlayStation Plus are always presented. Players are currently discussing which games it could be in September.

PS Plus Games September: These 6 games are being discussed
Currently, there are discussions about the following six games that could possibly be part of PS Plus. We present to you the 6 games here that are being most discussed.
Days Gone
Genre: Action-Adventure | Developer: SIE Bend Studio | Release Date: April 26, 2019 | Model: Buy-to-play
Reasons for this: Days Gone is a PS4 exclusive title, which has faced criticism. Our colleagues at GamePro in their review of Days Gone write that the game is “far from the usual quality of a PS4 exclusive.” The game is also heavily debated among fans and critics (via GamePro.de).
For Sony, there could be an opportunity to bring the controversial game to players through PlayStation Plus. How well this works can be seen with Titaniumfall 2: Thanks to PlayStation Plus, Titanfall 2 was able to gain a large player base.
Firewatch
Genre: Adventure | Developer: Campo Santo | Release Date: February 9, 2016 | Model: Buy-to-play
Reasons for this: Firewatch is a nice and entertaining walking simulator and is currently being considered a nice addition to another strong title.
It is also not unusual for Sony to pair a strong game with a nice bonus: For example, in July 2020, in celebration of the anniversary, the thriller “Erica” was given as a bonus.
Dark Souls Remastered
Genre: Action RPG | Developer: FromSoftware, Inc. | Release Date: May 25, 2018 | Model: Buy-to-play
Reasons for this: There have been rumors before about Dark Souls Remastered coming to PlayStation Plus. However, in July this did not happen.
Furthermore, the game has been around for about 2 years, as it was released on May 24, 2018. Many players have already played it in its original version. So it could very well be that Dark Souls Remastered gets a chance this time.
A Call of Duty
Genre: Shooter |
Reasons for this: Sony regularly distributes various Call of Duty games with PlayStation Plus. Just in August, there was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered.
On reddit, players speculate that Black Ops 4 is most likely a candidate. This is also because the latest game in the series with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War again carries Black Ops in its name.
However, there are also users on reddit who are not too keen on another Call of Duty. For instance, Elvis503 wrote on reddit: “Please no another CoD.”
Call of Duty Black Ops 4 focuses on a pure multiplayer experience and also offers a nice battle royale mode with Blackout if you have played enough CoD Warzone.
Uncharted: Lost Legacy
Genre: Action-Adventure | Developer: Naughty Dog, Inc. | Release Date: August 23, 2017 | Model: Buy-to-play
Reasons for this: Uncharted: Lost Legacy is the only Uncharted game that has not yet been included in PlayStation Plus. A possible reason why the game might come in September. Uncharted: Lost Legacy is also one of the often mentioned titles on reddit.
Additionally, Lost Legacy is not as extensive as the other titles, and Nathan Drake is not part of it this time.
Watch Dogs 2
Genre: Action-Adventure | Developer: Ubisoft Montreal | Release Date: November 15, 2016 | Model: Buy-to-play
Reasons for this: With Watch Dogs: Legion, the sequel to Watch Dogs 2, is coming on October 29, 2020. A good opportunity for Sony and Ubisoft to let players play the predecessor extensively. Forbes.com considers Watch Dogs 2 to be quite likely.
Ubisoft had given away Watch Dogs 2 this year for free on PC and the action game is also regularly offered for around 15 euros. Players could definitely consider it, especially thanks to its exciting multiplayer mode.
