Sony used its latest State of Play presentation to reveal four additional games for PlayStation Plus. The announcement gives subscribers a clearer look at the service’s upcoming schedule, with Mycopunk bringing four-player co-op to PS5 and three legacy releases heading to the Premium catalog.
What happened
The newly announced lineup covers both PS Plus Extra and Premium. Mycopunk will join the Extra tier later in 2026, while Mega Man X Command Mission is scheduled for Premium later this month, although Sony has not provided an exact release date. Dino Crisis 2 and the original Ratchet & Clank are also confirmed for Premium later this year.
Mycopunk is a looter-shooter built around four-player cooperative play. It is already available on Steam and will make its PS5 debut through PS Plus, meaning it can reasonably be viewed as a day-one addition to Sony’s console subscription service. Its Steam reception has been broadly positive, though the State of Play did not reveal a specific PS5 launch date.
Why it matters for subscribers
The announcement expands an otherwise incomplete September 2026 outlook. RuneScape: Dragonwilds is already confirmed for PS Plus Extra on September 15, while several games are scheduled to leave the service on the same day. Sony is expected to reveal the full September Extra and Premium lineup on Wednesday, September 9.
Access is split between the tiers. Extra members will be able to play Mycopunk, but Dino Crisis 2, Mega Man X Command Mission, and Ratchet & Clank require Premium. Premium also includes the benefits of the Essential and Extra plans, alongside access to selected games from the PS1, PS2, PSP, and PS3 eras.
The selection also strengthens the classic-games side of Premium. Dino Crisis 2 offers a more action-focused follow-up to the original PS1 dinosaur survival-horror title, while Ratchet & Clank represents the start of one of PlayStation’s most recognizable platforming and shooting franchises. Trophy support has not been confirmed. Ratchet & Clank may support Premium features such as trophies, but Capcom’s previous PS Plus classics have generally not included them.
What to watch next
The next major update is Sony’s full September 2026 announcement. That reveal should clarify the remaining Extra and Premium additions, confirm the timing of Mega Man X Command Mission, and provide more information about Mycopunk’s PS5 arrival.
The State of Play did not announce a new PSP title for Premium. That may disappoint subscribers who feel the handheld’s library has received less attention than the PS1, PS2, and PS3 catalogs. Even so, the four confirmed games give the service a notable mix of cooperative modern play and established PlayStation-era releases.
Key takeaways for PS Plus members
- Mycopunk is coming to PS5 through PS Plus Extra later in 2026.
- Mycopunk supports four-player co-op and will debut on PS5 through the service.
- Mega Man X Command Mission is planned for Premium later this month without a confirmed date.
- Dino Crisis 2 and the original Ratchet & Clank are coming to Premium later this year.
- Sony is expected to reveal the full September 2026 lineup on September 9.

Expert View
This is a stronger announcement for PS Plus than a routine classics update because it serves two different audiences: Mycopunk gives Extra subscribers a new cooperative PS5 release to watch, while Premium receives recognizable games from PlayStation and Capcom’s histories. The missing dates and incomplete September lineup limit the immediate impact, but Sony has established a useful foundation for the service’s next wave of additions.
