Highlights
PlayStation Plus subscribers in September 2023 will receive the game Saints Row for free, adding to their monthly lineup of games.
The information regarding the free game has been leaked by a trustworthy source, but it is advised that users wait for Sony's official announcement. Although Saints Row, which was rebooted in 2022, received mixed reviews, its availability on PS Plus could potentially help it gain a larger following.
Subscribers of PlayStation Plus in September 2023 will have the opportunity to play 2022's Saints Row as one of their free monthly games. PlayStation Plus members at all subscription tiers receive approximately three games each month, which can be accessed as long as the subscription is active.
In August 2023, Sony added notable games such as Death's Door, Dreams, and PGA Tour 2K23 to PlayStation Plus. Users have until September 4 to add these games to their accounts, as they will be replaced by next month's lineup. A leaked announcement reveals that September's PlayStation Plus game will be 2022's Saints Row.
This leak, provided by Dealabs user billbil-kun, confirms that PlayStation Plus subscribers across all three tiers will have the opportunity to enjoy Saints Row as a free monthly game in September. The leak suggests that players will be able to add Saints Row to their accounts from September 5 to October 3. While Billbil-kun has a track record of accurately leaking PS Plus free games in the past, it appears that they have not revealed the lineup for the previous few months. Therefore, it is advised that players approach any leaks or rumors with caution and instead wait for Sony to officially announce the PS Plus free monthly games for September 2023.
Released in August 2022, the reboot of the Saints Row franchise received negative reviews upon its launch. With a critic score of 61 on Metacritic and a user score of 2.9, the PS5 version of Saints Row faced criticism for its story, characters, visuals, and technical issues. Despite the disappointment from fans, the upcoming release of Saints Row on PS Plus may give it the opportunity to reach a larger audience.
It is worth mentioning that Saints Row is one of the three games scheduled for release on PS Plus in September 2023. However, the remaining two games have not been confirmed yet, so members will have to wait for Sony's announcement to know the full lineup. Typically, the free monthly games offer a diverse selection of titles, so the other two slots could potentially include indie games or sports titles to complete the collection.
