PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium Update for September 2023
This month’s PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium update offers an array of exciting games, including some highly anticipated titles from Vanillaware. However, opinions are divided on whether the selection meets the expectations of subscribers.
Headliners and Back Catalogue
The highlight of September’s update is the inclusion of NieR Replicant, Star Ocean: The Divine Force, and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. These games are sure to please fans of Vanillaware with their captivating gameplay and stunning visuals. Additionally, fans can enjoy a range of other Star Ocean titles and explore Vanillaware’s extensive back catalogue.
Indie Delights
In addition to the main titles, the September update also offers a few interesting indie games. Unpacking and Call of the Sea provide unique and immersive experiences that are worth exploring for fans of the genre.
Retromania
While the update presents an impressive lineup, subscribers who were expecting retro games might be disappointed. This month’s selection includes four remasters of technically ‘retro’ games, but there are no offerings from the PS1, PS2, or PSP libraries.
What Do Subscribers Think?
Now, it’s time to hear from the subscribers. In a recent poll, PS Plus Premium subscribers were asked their thoughts on the September games. Here are the results:

| Yeah, I’m happy | 34 | 6% |

| Nah, not really | 80 | 15% |
| No, it’s a terrible selection | 157 | 30% |
| I don’t have PS Plus Premium | 172 | 32% |
The results indicate a mix of opinions, with a significant portion expressing dissatisfaction with the selection. However, it’s worth noting that a third of the voters do not have PS Plus Premium, suggesting that their views might be different if they were subscribers.

The poll also asked subscribers which game they were most looking forward to. Here are the results:
| Game | Votes | Percentage |
