One of the main perks of the PlayStation Plus subscription service is the new set of free games that subscribers can claim every month. It seemed like the free PlayStation Plus games for September 2021 took longer to become available since the first Tuesday of the month wasn't until the 7th, but now the wait is finally over and fans can claim one new PS5 game and two new PlayStation 4 titles for their digital libraries.
From now until October 4, PS Plus subscribers can claim Overcooked: All You Can Eat on PlayStation 5, as well as Hitman 2 and Predator: Hunting Grounds on PlayStation 4. While Overcooked: All You Can Eat is only available to PS Plus subscribers with a PS5, both Hitman 2 and Predator: Hunting Grounds are technically playable on Sony's next-generation console as well thanks to its backward compatibility with PS4 titles.
The reaction to the free PS Plus games for September 2021 seems to be more positive than the reaction to the free PS Plus games for August 2021. As some may recall, the free PS Plus games lineup for August 2021 included battle royale game Hunter's Arena: Legends, Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville, and Tennis World Tour 2.
Free PS Plus Games for September 2021 List
- Overcooked: All You Can Eat (PS5)
- Hitman 2 (PS4)
- Predator: Hunting Grounds (PS4)
For those who may be unfamiliar with the games, Overcooked: All You Can Eat is a co-op party game where the goal is to work together with friends to cook various recipes under a time limit. Overcooked: All You Can Eat combines the content of the first two Overcooked games with some special enhancements, sprucing up the graphics a bit and adding some next-gen features like DualSense support. There's also some free Overcooked DLC that's exclusive to the All You Can Eat version, so those that have already extensively played the first two games may still want to check it out.
Hitman 2, meanwhile, is one of IO Interactive's stealth-action games, and is a great way for fans to prepare for Hitman 3 if they have yet to try that particular game out. Predator: Hunting Grounds is an asymmetric multiplayer game where one player takes on the role of the titular Predator as they hunt human players.
As for the next batch of free PS Plus games, subscribers can expect them to be announced on the last Wednesday of the month, which is September 29. However, it's possible that the upcoming PlayStation Showcase event will include a PS Plus announcement, as Sony has been known to use these presentations to announce free PS Plus titles ahead of time.
