We’re almost at that point in the month where PlayStation drops a fresh line-up of additions to the library of games available to (now higher-paying) PlayStation Plus Extra/Deluxe subscribers, and as is typically tradition, serial leaker billbil-kun over at Dealabs has leaked a selection of these titles early.
While billbil stresses we’ll have to wait until September 13th to see the full drop detailed, including the “Classics” games coming to Deluxe members, this first handful of games that are supposedly incoming is actually a pretty decent selection with some banger Japanese titles just in time for Tokyo Game Show 2023 and at least one Aussie-made indie gem. Take a look at what’s (allegedly) coming:
