Overwatch September 17 Patch Notes Explained
The latest Overwatch hotfix reduces D.Mon’s armor and damage, increases key ability costs, and restores Mercy to every Stadium queue.
The PlayStation Plus September 2026 Game Catalog is now rolling out, giving Extra and Premium subscribers access to eight additional PS4 and PS5 games. The lineup is led by WWE 2K26 and RuneScape: Dragonwilds, with later regional releases including Ball x Pit, Slitterhead, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, and Dungeons of Hinterberg.
Most of the games became available worldwide on September 15, 2026. However, Sony Interactive Entertainment is using a staggered schedule for several titles in the United States, United Kingdom, and Japan, meaning some subscribers will need to wait until September 22 or September 29.
The September catalog includes the following games for PlayStation Plus Extra and PlayStation Plus Premium members:
Premium subscribers also receive Mega Man X Command Mission for PS5 and PS4, along with Metro Redux for PS4 through the Classics Catalog.
This selection is separate from the monthly games offered to all PlayStation Plus membership levels. Access to the Game Catalog additions requires an active Extra or Premium subscription, while the two Classics Catalog releases are limited to Premium members.
WWE 2K26 is likely to be the most recognizable release in the September lineup. The PS5 wrestling game includes more than 400 playable WWE Superstars and Legends, covering performers from the Attitude Era alongside members of the current roster. Confirmed names include The Rock, Triple H, John Cena, Rhea Ripley, Rey Fénix, Rusev, and Blake Monroe.
Its Showcase mode focuses on CM Punk and revisits major moments and rivalries from his career. The mode also explores alternative scenarios built around the idea that Punk never left WWE, giving the campaign a mixture of historical material and fictional outcomes.
For subscribers who have not purchased a recent WWE game, this is a substantial catalog addition rather than a short experimental release. The large roster, career content, and different match options make it suitable for solo players as well as users interested in local or online competition.
RuneScape: Dragonwilds offers a different type of experience. Developed by Jagex, the cooperative survival game takes players to Ashenfall, a previously unexplored continent in the wider RuneScape universe. Dragons have returned to the region, leaving players to gather resources, construct settlements, improve their skills, and prepare for a confrontation with the Dragon Queen.
The game combines survival crafting with recognizable RuneScape elements. Players can complete quests, learn abilities and spells, and fight creatures such as Zogres and Black Knights. The game also introduces new enemies, including the Garou, while its music uses reworked themes from earlier RuneScape releases alongside original tracks.
Its arrival is notable for PS5 players because it gives the September catalog a cooperative survival option rather than relying entirely on single-player action games. The progression systems should be familiar to RuneScape fans, but the building and survival mechanics provide a more direct, exploration-focused structure.
Ball x Pit is a fast-paced roguelite set around the ruins of Ballbylon, a city destroyed by an unexpected disaster. Players descend into a dangerous pit, fight large groups of enemies, develop character builds, and collect resources that contribute to longer-term progression.
While the game joined the catalog on September 15 in several markets, its PlayStation Plus release date in the United States, United Kingdom, and Japan is September 22. Subscribers in these regions should not assume that a missing store listing represents an account or console problem.
Slitterhead follows the same regional schedule. The horror action game is available for both PS5 and PS4, making it one of several September additions that continue to support players who have not moved exclusively to current-generation hardware.
Subscribers in the United States, United Kingdom, and Japan will receive Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, Dungeons of Hinterberg, and Sniper Elite: Resistance on September 29. These games were scheduled for September 15 in other supported regions, so availability depends on the regional PlayStation Store connected to the subscriber’s account.
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound provides side-scrolling action for PS5 and PS4, while Dungeons of Hinterberg combines action RPG combat with exploration and social elements. Sniper Elite: Resistance offers a more tactical alternative, with stealth, long-range combat, a cooperative campaign, and the competitive Axis Invasion feature.
The staggered release plan makes the September catalog slightly more complicated than usual. Players should check the date associated with their own region instead of relying on a single global availability list, especially for the titles arriving during the final two weeks of the month.
Date Everything! was the first Game Catalog addition to arrive in September. It became available on September 9 in the United States and United Kingdom, September 10 in Japan, and September 15 in other regions.
The game uses an unusual dating simulation concept in which magical glasses allow household objects to become interactive characters. Each object has a separate personality and storyline, and relationships can develop into friendship, romance, or conflict depending on the player’s decisions.
Its inclusion adds a narrative-focused option to a catalog otherwise dominated by action, survival, wrestling, and tactical gameplay. It may therefore be one of the more relevant September additions for players looking for dialogue, character interactions, and choice-based storytelling.
The September 2026 Classics Catalog adds Mega Man X Command Mission and Metro Redux. Both games are limited to PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers, although their classification differs from the eight main Game Catalog additions.
Mega Man X Command Mission offers a role-playing interpretation of the Mega Man X series and is available on PS5 and PS4. Metro Redux is listed as a PS4 release and packages updated versions of the earlier Metro games for modern console play.
These additions give Premium members alternatives to the newer releases. They also help broaden the catalog beyond current games, although users interested only in these titles should consider whether the higher Premium subscription tier provides enough additional value for their playing habits.
The main advantage of the September catalog is variety. WWE 2K26 provides a large sports entertainment package, RuneScape: Dragonwilds covers cooperative survival, and Ball x Pit offers shorter roguelite sessions. Horror players can turn to Slitterhead, while action fans have Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound and Sniper Elite: Resistance.
The most important practical consideration is the regional release schedule. As of September 20, 2026, not every announced game is available in the United States, United Kingdom, or Japan. Ball x Pit and Slitterhead are due on September 22 in those markets, followed by Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, Dungeons of Hinterberg, and Sniper Elite: Resistance on September 29.
The PlayStation Plus September 2026 Game Catalog is a balanced update with recognizable commercial releases and smaller genre-focused games. WWE 2K26 is the headline addition, while RuneScape: Dragonwilds may have the strongest appeal for players seeking a cooperative game with longer-term progression.
The staggered rollout requires more attention than a normal monthly update, but the complete selection covers wrestling, survival crafting, horror, tactical shooting, action RPGs, roguelites, and narrative adventures. Extra and Premium subscribers should check their regional PlayStation Store throughout September, particularly on September 22 and September 29.
