PlayStation Plus Extra, Premium September Game Revealed Early

In case you missed it, Sony has already revealed the first PS Plus Extra and Premium September 2026 game, and it’s a big one. Popular Jagex IP RuneScape is making its console debut, with RuneScape: Dragonwilds launching straight into the catalog day one.

When will PS Plus September 2026 game RuneScape: Dragonwilds join the catalog?

As confirmed back in June, PS5 open-world game RuneScape: Dragonwilds will release on the PS Store and PS Plus Extra/Premium catalog on Tuesday, September 15. That’s when the first batch of September games will become available in all regions.

As a reminder, Sony is running a staggered PS Plus catalog release schedule in the US, UK, and Japan. This means these three countries get PS Plus drops on different dates from the rest of the world. However, since RuneScape is a day-one game, we expect it to become available to subscribers around the globe on the same date.

“On RuneScape’s forgotten continent of Ashenfall, dragons have awoken,” an official overview reads. “Gather, build, skill and craft in this co-operative survival adventure. Only by mastering survival and uncovering ancient secrets can you hope to face the ferocious Dragon Queen.”

The full PS Plus Extra and Premium September 2026 lineup and release schedule will be announced by Wednesday, September 9.

Another PlayStation 5 Multiplayer Game Loses Support Within a Year

Another promising PS5 and PS4 multiplayer game is ending active development within a year, possibly making its trophies unlockable on short notice. Developed by 1047 Games, SplitGate 2 was troubled from the start. Its December 2025 relaunch as Arena Reloaded breathed new life into the game, but only for a short period of time.

Promising PS5, PS4 multiplayer game Splitgate 2 / Arena Reloaded losing dedicated servers in September 2026

SplitGate 2 will end development next week on September 3. Like the original, dedicated servers and matchmaking will be shut down, but the game will remain playable via peer-to-peer servers. This means that players will be able to host matches, find games, and play with friends.

When the original SplitGate was moved to P2P servers, its trophies could no longer be unlocked. There’s a possibility that SplitGate 2 will meet the same fate, so if you have a trophy or two left to unlock, now is a good time to work on them.

It looks like 1047 Games plans to move away from live service projects going forward.

“After ten years of focusing on live service shooters, our focus is changing,” the studio said in a statement. “What we build next may look very different from what people expect from 1047 Games, but what has not changed is why we are here: we love making games. We have learned a lot over the years, and we will carry those lessons into what we build next.”

PS5 Players Surprised With Free Remaster of the Best PlayStation 4 RPG

PS5 players were given a pleasant surprise at Gamescom 2026 when CD Projekt RED announced a remaster of its best PS4 RPG. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered will be free for all existing owners and comes with additional bells and whistles, including PS5 Pro support.

PS5 RPG The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered gets September 2026 release date

The Witcher 3 Remastered will release on September 29, 2026. It’ll include the Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine expansions. What’s more, those who currently own the base PS4 game can now download both expansions for free, then claim the full remastered package in September at no additional cost.

The remaster brings visual enhancements, performance improvements, upgraded combat, improved traversal and movement, new witcher signs effects, transmog, skill tree revamp, expanded photo mode, new finishers, and much more.

CD Projekt RED also dropped a teaser for the upcoming expansion, Songs of the Past.

Songs of the Past will release in 2027.

“This idyllic land is rich in rural tradition and folklore, and its people enjoy a fulfilling life of bountiful harvests and lavish festivals,” an overview reads. “But a dark secret lurks just beneath the surface, and Geralt must overcome never-before-seen foes as he fights to overcome its long-dormant evil.”

Last but not least, CD Projekt Red announced a partnership with Blizzard Entertainment to bring a Geralt-inspired skin to Diablo 4. To unlock the skin, you’ll need to purchase Songs of the Past via Battle.net.

PlayStation 5 Version of Fun 2023 Game Blocked by Sony for Weird Reason

The PS5 version of a popular 2023 game that was scheduled for release in 2027 has been blocked by Sony, according to its developer. Stonks-9800 is currently available on PC, where it has an “overwhelmingly positive” rating. The game’s Xbox and Nintendo ports will go ahead as planned.

PS5 version of Stonks-9800 blocked as Sony mistook its dev for a shovelware producer

Players will recall us reporting on Sony’s PS Store shovelware purge this year, which has seen thousands of low-effort junk games nuked from the storefront. Sony has also banned known shovelware devs, terminating their contracts along the way.

Here’s the problem: Stonks-9800 developer Ternox Games isn’t a shovelware dev, and its games aren’t shovelware either. Ternox is an indie developer, and its catalog includes quite a few positively reviewed, fun games.

But it looks like Sony deployed a shovelware filter of sorts that Ternox got caught in, and the dev lost its PlayStation contract. Now, all of its games are being delisted from the PS Store.

“PlayStation Support refuses to listen to my arguments or even respond to my emails in any way,” Ternox tweeted. “I’ve released 10 games in 5 years of work (another 3 of my own games were transferred to my account by other publishers I’ve worked with in the past – a total of 13 games on my account since 2021).”

The full thread can be read below:

Most Anticipated PlayStation 5 RPG Finally Has a Release Date Window

Square Enix‘s most anticipated PS5 action RPG has been given an official release date window after years of rumors. Just before the weekend, Disney fan event D23 took place, during which the companies announced that Kingdom Hearts IV will launch in late 2027.

Square Enix RPG Kingdom Hearts 4 expected to get a PS5 disc release

Kingdom Hearts 4’s late 2027 launch window suggests that the game will get a disc launch, as physical production cut-off date is set for January 2028. However, Square Enix has yet to share launch details, so we’ll have to wait for an official confirmation on this.

In the meantime, here’s the extended D23 trailer:

Square Enix also revealed that Disney and Pixar’s Coco will appear in the game.

“Our hero Sora awakes in the unfamiliar world of Quadratum,” an official overview reads. “As he looks for a way to return from this modern metropolis to his own world, his friends Donald and Goofy head for the Underworld in hopes of finding a clue to his whereabouts.”

As for the combat, Square Enix says that Kingdom Hearts 4’s “dynamic, fast-paced battle system allows you to effortlessly combine attacks and magic, as well as build combos with a brand-new battle feature.”

Players can change Sora’s Keyblade for unique attacks, suited to the ongoing battle, their strategy, and play style.

Award-Winning 2013 PS4, PS Plus Game Delisted From PlayStation Store

An award-winning 2013 PS4 game has been removed from sale on the PS Store without a warning. Developed and published by The Quantum Astrophysicists Guild, The Bridge was released for the PS4, PS3, and PS Vita, but it seems it’s only the PS4 version that’s been delisted.

Unique puzzle adventure The Bridge’s PS4 version was recently on sale on PS Store

As spotted by users on PSNProfiles, The Bridge was last on sale on the PS Store as recently as the first week of August 2026. This suggests that The Bridge was delisted sometime over the last few days.

Players with access to the PS Store on PS3 and PS Vita have confirmed that The Bridge is still listed for sale, but both storefronts are shutting down, so unless the PS4 version returns, PlayStation players will no longer be able to purchase the game.

The Bridge is still available on Xbox and Steam at the time of this writing.

Players who were PS Plus members back in 2018 may own The Bridge. The game was given away as a monthly freebie in October of that year.

“The Bridge is a puzzle game that forces the player to reevaluate their preconceptions of physics and perspective,” an official overview reads.

We’ll update our readers if the game returns to the PS Store.

PlayStation 5 Remake of Beloved PS2 Action Game Leaked

An unannounced native PS5 port of a PS2 action adventure game remake has been leaked by rating board ESRB. First released in 2020, Mafia: Definitive Edition is a full PS4 remake of the fan-favorite 2002 game. It looks like PS5 players will soon be able to play the remake natively rather than via backwards compatibility.

Native PS5 port of action adventure game Mafia: Definitive Edition might be a free upgrade

As spotted by a ResetEra user, ESRB recently rated a PS5 and Xbox Series X|S version of Mafia: Definitive Edition. Developer Hangar 13 and publisher 2K have not announced the port.

My guess is that this will be a free upgrade for existing owners, as is usually the case, but we’ll have to wait for an official announcement for confirmation.

Mafia: Definitive Edition was recently on sale on the PS Store, but has since reverted to its full price of $39.99. This indicates that the PS5 port will be announced/released soon.

“Mafia: Definitive Edition tells the story of Tommy Angelo, a hardworking cab driver who’s scraping by in the American city of Lost Heaven circa 1930,” the plot reads. “One fateful night, Tommy has an inadvertent brush with the Italian Mafia that showcases a life of reward too big to ignore. Now he’s embedded in the brutal world of organized crime, doing jobs for Don Salieri’s organization as it wars with the vicious Morello crime family.”

We’ll update our readers when we have more information.
