PS Plus Free Games for September Include Destiny 2 and God of War III Remastered

Sony has revealed the free games PlayStation Plus subscribers will have a chance to tackle in September, and this month is a big one. Following a solid August headlined by Mafia III and Dead by Daylight, September will serve up the less-than-a-year-old Destiny 2, and the critically-acclaimed God or War III Remastered! Dang, beat that Microsoft! Destiny 2 will be available today, a week earlier than the rest of the September games, so players can test out the new Forsaken PvE/PvP mode, Gambit. Check out a trailer for the new additions, below.

Here’s Sony’s full rundown of September free PS Plus games:

God of War III Remastered

As mentioned, Destiny 2’s big Year 2 expansion, Forsaken kicks off on September 4. You can get full details on all the content planned, right here. I’m sure there will be plenty of snarking about Activision giving away Destiny 2 for free already, but hey, gift horses and all.
