2 More September 2026 PS Plus Extra Games Available to Download Now
Two additional PlayStation 5 games have been added to PS Plus Extra in the UK, USA, and Japan as of 22 September 2026. Ball X Pit and Slitterhead are now available to subscribers in these territories, though members in other regions received access to the full September lineup earlier in the month. Sony is trialling a staggered release approach for PS Plus Extra titles across these three regions.
Ball X Pit is a roguelite that combines elements of Vampire Survivors and Breakout, where players use balls to clear stages and construct a base between runs. Slitterhead, directed by veteran developer Keiichiro Toyama, is positioned as a spiritual successor to PlayStation franchises such as Siren, Gravity Rush, and Soul Sacrifice, featuring a supernatural narrative about a body-hopping spirit that uses humans to combat a mysterious threat.
In short
- Ball X Pit and Slitterhead added to PS Plus Extra in select regions today
- Staggered rollout approach being tested in UK, USA, and Japan
- Slitterhead is directed by a veteran of classic PlayStation franchises
Explained simply
PlayStation Plus is Sony’s subscription service for PlayStation consoles. Its Extra tier includes a rotating catalogue of games that members can download and play while the games remain in the catalogue and their subscription is active.
Sony adds games to the catalogue in monthly line-ups, but availability can vary by region. Ball X Pit and Slitterhead are two different kinds of game: one combines fast-paced ball-based combat with building between attempts, while the other centres on a spirit that takes over human bodies to fight a mysterious threat.
Slitterhead was directed by Keiichiro Toyama, known for work on games including Siren and Gravity Rush. The staggered release means subscribers in some regions may receive parts of a monthly line-up later than members elsewhere.
