Sony has confirmed the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games lineup for September 2025, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most varied drops of the year. Beginning September 2, members can download Psychonauts 2 (PS4), Stardew Valley (PS4), and Viewfinder (PS4, PS5) at no extra cost. This month’s selection spans three very different experiences: a platform-adventure from Microsoft-owned Double Fine, a farming simulator that redefined the indie genre, and a first-person puzzle game that literally rewrites reality with a camera lens.
The move also signals another step in the unusual but growing partnership between Xbox and PlayStation, with Psychonauts 2—a game published under Microsoft—now featuring on Sony’s subscription service. Combined with the massive appeal of Stardew Valley and the fresh puzzle design of Viewfinder, this lineup offers something for nearly every type of player.

Psychonauts 2 | PS4
Psychonauts 2 continues the story of Razputin “Raz” Aquato, a young psychic who finally joins the spy network he always dreamed of. But trouble is brewing—his leaders are compromised, and a mole lurks inside the organization. Players dive into wild, mind-bending levels, where psychic powers and quirky storytelling drive a cinematic platform-adventure. Expect a mix of humor, mystery, and action as Raz works to stop a psychic villain.
Stardew Valley | PS4
The indie classic returns, giving players the chance to build a new life on their grandfather’s old farm. With just basic tools and a handful of coins, you must turn overgrown fields into a thriving homestead. Beyond farming, Stardew Valley offers fishing, crafting, friendships, and the chance to restore the town’s community center. The game is famously addictive, with many players sinking dozens of hours without noticing the time fly by.
Viewfinder | PS4, PS5
Viewfinder delivers a unique puzzle adventure where photography reshapes reality. Players use an instant camera to bend perception and transform environments in order to solve challenges. Every snapshot changes the world, turning photos, paintings, and sketches into physical spaces to explore. First released in 2023, the game quickly gained praise for its clever mechanics and striking visual style.
Subscribers have until September 1 to add August’s games—Lies of P, Day Z, and My Hero One’s Justice 2—before they leave the service. From September 2, the new lineup will be ready to claim.
