On Wednesday, Sony revealed the next batch of PlayStation Plus subscribers' free Essential games. Like most months, there's a little something for everyone on offer: Chained Echoes, Sniper Elite: Resistance, Wobbly Life, and MLB The Show 26 make up September 2026's offerings. You'll be able to start downloading the four games on Sept. 1.
Chained Echoes is a 16-bit turn-based RPG from 2022. Its world is full of fantastical creatures and magic, but also giant mechs. Basically, if you ever wanted to see a Gundam fight a dragon, give Chained Echoes a spin. Developer Umami Tiger (Matthias Linda) describes it as "a story-driven JRPG where a group of heroes travel around the vast continent of Valandis to bring an end to the war between its three kingdoms." Like so many RPGs, there's some heft to Chained Echoes as it'll take you 30-40 hours to complete. Every enemy will be visible, so at least there won't be any random encounters making the experience feel bloated.
The latest entry in Rebellion's AA Sniper Elite series is 2025's Sniper Elite: Resistance . It sends players to World War II (of course) to snipe Nazis (sold). Resistance takes place parallel to Sniper Elite 5 , but spotlights the French Resistance this time. "Offering unparalleled sniping mechanics, stealth and tactical third-person combat, Sniper Elite: Resistance turns the attention of the award-winning series towards a hidden war, far from the front lines, deep within the heart of occupied France," reads the game's official description.
