One of the upcoming free PlayStation Plus games for September 2026 is yet another open world co-op game for fans to enjoy. Every month, a batch of free games are given away through the Essential tier of PlayStation Plus. Unlike the games added to the Extra and Premium tiers of PlayStation Plus, the titles on the Essential tier can theoretically be kept forever. As long as one stays subscribed to PS Plus, they retain access to any of the games they’ve claimed through the service.
The August 2026 PlayStation Plus games, which are still available to claim at the time of this writing, are Big Walk, Dying Light 2, and Signalis. Signalis is a single-player survival-horror game, but Big Walk and Dying Light 2 are both open world co-op experiences. Big Walk allows up to 12 players to explore its world together, solving puzzles and unlocking new areas, whereas Dying Light 2 allows up to four players to fight zombies in co-op.
PS Plus is Getting Another Open World Co-Op Game Soon
With Big Walk and Dying Light 2, two open world co-op games were added to the Essential tier of PlayStation Plus in August, but yet another one is coming in September. Wobbly Life is one of the free PS Plus games for September 2026, and it will be available starting Tuesday, September 1. Wobbly Life is an open world sandbox physics-based game where players go around and do basically whatever they’d like. It supports online co-op and local split-screen for a maximum of four players. It’s a goofy game that is a lot of fun to play with friends, and PS Plus subscribers will be able to try it out as one of the free games for September 2026.
Wobbly Life is notably available for both PS4 and PS5. Sony previously announced that it was phasing out PS Plus support for PS4, but has yet to actually follow through with it. In fact, multiple free PS Plus games for September 2026 have native PS4 releases, so those that have yet to upgrade to Sony’s newest console won’t be left out.
The other free PS Plus games for September 2026 joining Wobbly Life are Sniper Elite: Resistance, MLB The Show 26, and Chained Echoes. MLB The Show 26 is PS5-only, but Sniper Elite: Resistance and Chained Echoes are both available on PS4. So even though it’s been nearly a year since Sony said it was no longer going to prioritize PlayStation 4 with its PS Plus offerings, the majority of the new titles coming in September will be available to PS4 gamers.
The free PS Plus games for September 2026 will be added on September 1. The next update PS Plus subscribers can look forward to after that should come on September 15, when some of the new Extra and Premium games will be added. We don’t know the full lineup yet, but we do know that RuneScape: Dragonwilds is coming to PS Plus Extra as a day one game that day.
