For all the trophy hunters out there, you may have noticed that last month’s freebies had some pretty tough platinums to obtain. Sony is being much more lenient this month, at least for two out of the three games. And so, here is the PlayStation Plus free games September 2025 line-up, available for download on Tuesday, September 2.
First, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Viewfinder, the puzzle game developed by Sad Owl Studios. Players try to map out a 2D image onto a 3D world, which will allow for access to a teleportation device that takes players to the next level.
Next, for the PS4, there’s Psychonauts 2, the platformer developed by Double Fine and published by Xbox Game Studios (yes, that’s right!). A sequel to the 2005 Psychonauts, players control Raz, a child from a family of circus acrobats and possesses psychic powers that allow him to enter the minds of others, and play through different 3D environments with the goal of resolving psychological issues.
Lastly, for the PS4, there is Stardew Valley, the 2016 farming simulator developed by ConcernedApe. Taking inspiration from Harvest Moon, the player-character inherits a farm from their deceased grandfather, and work by clearing the land, raising animals, and harvesting crops.
All titles in the PlayStation Plus free games September 2025 line-up have platinum trophies to unlock.
Among them, Viewfinder is both the easiest and quickest platinum to obtain. Following a video guide will make the puzzles relatively easy, and require only 5-6 hours of gameplay.
Next, Psychonauts 2 is a fairly easy platinum as well, though keep in mind that there are quite a few collectables to find. Expect roughly around 25 hours of gameplay for this one.
Lastly, while the majority of the trophies on Stardew Valley are quite easy, there is a single trophy which requires playing an arcade game without dying, which makes the overall platinum for this game quite difficult. In addition, you will need well over 100 hours of gameplay as well.
