Tired of summer holidays, hanging out with friends, and lying on the beach? Hoping to just chill indoors and play some games? Well, you’re in luck, because Sony has just announced their next PlayStation Plus free games September 2023 line-up which will be available for download on Tuesday, September 5.
First, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s the Saints Row reboot. This is a complete remake of the original 2006 open-world GTA-like game, before the series started to include aliens and Satan. Taking place in the fictional city of Santo Ileso, players join their friends to take down rival gangs while wrecking havoc on the city in the process.
Next, for the PS4, there’s Generation Zero, the 2019 first-person shooter developed by Systemic Reaction. Blast away at giant robots which have taken over your hometown in 1989 Sweden. The game can be played in solo-mode, or co-op with up to three players.
Lastly, for the PS4, there’s the 2019 MMORPG Black Desert, developed by the South Korean company Pearl Abyss. Taking place in a high fantasy, players can roam the open world battling enemies in an active combat system, tame and breed mounts, as well as fish and cook. The game also includes large-scale PvP siege wars.
All three titles of the PlayStation Plus free games September 2023 have a platinum trophy to unlock.
Among them, Saints Row is certainly the quicker Platinum and requires roughly around 40 hours of gameplay. There is only one online trophy related to co-op play, and while the trophy itself is not difficult, co-op has been reported to be quite buggy and result in crashes. Also, Completionists should be aware that there are three DLC packs which are not included in the PlayStation Plus Free Games September 2023 line-up, which total an extra 14 trophies.
If you are playing Generation Zero solo, then expect a bit of a challenge and at least 80 hours of gameplay. If you are playing this co-op, the Platinum is relatively easy and can be completed in around 50 hours. Unfortunately, this is another game in which the co-op has been reportedly buggy and can result in crashes.
Lastly, Black Desert has an easy Platinum to obtain. However, expect to do a lot of grinding. Specifically, at least 150 hours worth of grinding.
