PlayStation Plus Game Catalog September 2026 Lineup Includes WWE 2K26 and RuneScape: Dragonwilds

PlayStation Plus has confirmed its Game Catalog additions for September 2026, delivering a particularly broad month for Extra and Premium members. The new selection is led by RuneScape: Dragonwilds, WWE 2K26, and Ball x Pit, but the full list reaches across several very different corners of the PlayStation library. Fans of relationship-driven adventures, horror, fast-paced ninja action, tactical sniping, and retro role-playing games all have something new to investigate.

The September update also comes with an important scheduling wrinkle. PlayStation is continuing to test different release timing in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan. As a result, several games that arrive on September 15 in most regions will be added later in those three markets. Players should check the dates for their own region rather than assuming the catalog refresh will happen simultaneously worldwide.

For regions outside the US, UK, and Japan, the wider lineup will be available on September 15. A few titles have global release dates, while others have already begun arriving in selected territories. The result is a staggered rollout that will unfold across most of the month for some subscribers.

The September 2026 PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium lineup

The Game Catalog selection available to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members includes nine games across PS5 and PS4. RuneScape: Dragonwilds and WWE 2K26 are both PS5 releases arriving globally on September 15, giving the month two major modern games at the front of the lineup.

• RuneScape: Dragonwilds -- PS5 -- available globally September 15
• WWE 2K26 -- PS5 -- available globally September 15
• Ball x Pit -- PS5 -- September 15 in most regions; September 22 in the US, UK, and Japan
• Date Everything! -- PS5 -- September 9 in the US and UK, September 10 in Japan, and September 15 elsewhere
• Slitterhead -- PS4 and PS5 -- September 15 in most regions; September 22 in the US, UK, and Japan
• Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound -- PS4 and PS5 -- September 15 in most regions; September 29 in the US, UK, and Japan
• Dungeons of Hinterberg -- PS4 and PS5 -- September 15 in most regions; September 29 in the US, UK, and Japan
• Sniper Elite: Resistance -- PS4 and PS5 -- September 15 in most regions; September 29 in the US, UK, and Japan

This is a notably varied selection even by Game Catalog standards. The lineup does not lean solely on one blockbuster genre or a single style of play. Instead, it places a licensed sports release alongside an established fantasy world, a strange dating simulator, a horror adventure, an action game with the Ninja Gaiden name, and a slower-paced sniping experience.

RuneScape and WWE headline a varied month

RuneScape: Dragonwilds is one of the month's clearest draws for players interested in fantasy progression and the broader RuneScape universe. Its arrival on PS5 gives Game Catalog subscribers a new option rooted in a long-running RPG property, while its September 15 availability is global. That straightforward timing may be welcome in a month otherwise defined by regional differences.

WWE 2K26, also a global September 15 release on PS5, brings wrestling to the service's September slate. Sports games can be especially useful catalog additions because they offer both quick pick-up-and-play sessions and a potentially longer-term reason to return, whether players are exploring solo modes or taking matches online. Its inclusion provides a sharply different option from the fantasy, puzzle, and action-heavy games around it.

Ball x Pit follows shortly after for US, UK, and Japanese subscribers, landing there on September 22 rather than September 15. Players elsewhere can begin on September 15. As a PS5-only selection, it is part of the month's current-generation contingent, although September's full offering still retains substantial PS4 coverage through several cross-generation releases.

Date Everything! arrives first in selected regions

One of the more unusual additions, Date Everything!, is already available in the US and UK as of September 9, and reached Japan on September 10. It arrives in other regions on September 15. The PS5 game stands out immediately on premise alone: it is an indie romance simulator built around the idea of dating everything.

That playful concept helps make Date Everything! an important part of the month's overall personality. Catalog lineups frequently make room for large, familiar franchises, but an offbeat game can be the one that encourages a subscriber to try something they might otherwise skip. For players looking for something less combat-focused than WWE 2K26, Sniper Elite, or Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, it is a natural change of pace.

Its earlier arrival in several territories also means it may be the first September addition many members try. Players outside those markets will have it alongside the larger September 15 wave, making that date a crowded day for anyone building a download queue.

Action, suspense, and exploration fill out the catalog

Slitterhead brings a suspenseful adventure to both PS4 and PS5. It will join the catalog on September 15 in most territories, with US, UK, and Japanese access set for September 22. Its placement alongside Date Everything! shows how dramatically the tone can shift from one September release to the next: players can move from eccentric romance simulation to a much more unsettling experience without leaving the service.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is another cross-generation addition, but it has the longest regional delay among the middle group of releases. Most territories receive it on September 15, while subscribers in the US, UK, and Japan must wait until September 29. For action fans in those regions, it is worth keeping that later date in mind rather than looking for it during the initial catalog update.

Dungeons of Hinterberg offers another contrast. Available on PS4 and PS5, it combines puzzle solving reminiscent of Zelda-style adventure design with the social side of life in a small town. Daily interactions with local characters and the process of building relationships are central to its identity, making it a good fit for players who want exploration and puzzles with a more personal, community-oriented layer. It too arrives September 15 in most regions and September 29 in the US, UK, and Japan.

Sniper Elite: Resistance rounds out the Extra and Premium list with long-range shooting on PS4 and PS5. Like Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound and Dungeons of Hinterberg, it reaches most regions September 15 and the US, UK, and Japan on September 29. Its methodical shooting emphasis gives the lineup a tactical alternative to the immediacy of wrestling, the tension of Slitterhead, and the puzzle-driven adventure of Dungeons of Hinterberg.

Premium members receive Mega Man X Command Mission and Metro Redux

PlayStation Plus Premium members have two additional titles in September: Mega Man X Command Mission and Metro Redux. Both are available globally on September 15, avoiding the regional stagger applied to several Game Catalog games.

• Mega Man X Command Mission -- PS4 and PS5 -- available globally September 15
• Metro Redux -- PS4 -- available globally September 15

Mega Man X Command Mission supplies the month's retro RPG offering. Its return gives Premium subscribers a chance to experience a different branch of the Mega Man X legacy, one built around role-playing rather than the series' better-known action platforming foundations. The PS4 and PS5 availability also means it can sit alongside the newer games in the same September catalog update.

Metro Redux, meanwhile, adds a PS4 selection for Premium members. Along with Mega Man X Command Mission, it makes Premium's extra offerings feel complementary rather than redundant: one reaches back to a retro RPG, while the other provides a more modern older-generation experience.

What to play first in September

September's catalog is best viewed as a collection designed for different moods. WWE 2K26 and RuneScape: Dragonwilds are the obvious starting points for members seeking prominent PS5 releases on September 15. Date Everything! is the early pick in the US, UK, and Japan, while Dungeons of Hinterberg could be a standout for players looking for a thoughtful blend of dungeon puzzles and character connections.

Those who prefer intense action can set their sights on Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, while Slitterhead offers suspense and Sniper Elite: Resistance favors patient, long-distance planning. Ball x Pit adds another PS5 option later in the month for three regions, and Premium subscribers can round out the schedule with Mega Man X Command Mission and Metro Redux.

With games arriving between September 9 and September 29 depending on title and location, this is not a one-day catalog drop for everyone. It is a month-long sequence of additions. For PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members, that should make September 2026 feel less like a single update and more like a steady run of new games across nearly every major style of play.
