PlayStation Plus September 2023 lineup includes critically mauled PS5 game

Generation Zero®

Generation Zero is a stealth-action shooter where you wage guerilla warfare against lethal mechanical enemies. Explore a vast open world map inspired by the Swedish Cold War era, take part in the resistance alone or with up to three friends in seamless co-op.

Free to download starting September 5, running all the the way until October 2, Saints Row will be totally free to download for any and all PlayStation Plus subscribers. If you're not especially keen on trying it out, Black Desert is also free to download. A popular MMO on the up and up, it alongisde Generation Zero may just win the month over.
