PlayStation Plus September Free Games Include Destiny 2 Ahead Of Forsaken
By TJ Denzer ·
With the Forsaken expansion arriving early in September, it would appear Sony is making sure nobody has a reason to miss the action. Destiny 2 is one of the free games for players with PlayStation Plus in September, and you can jump in now.
September is going to be a big month for Destiny 2 and it’s only getting bigger. Sony is making sure anyone with even a passing interest will have a reason to give the game a try. Alongside the God of War III HD Edition, Destiny 2 will be one of the two free games for PlayStation Plus on PS4 in September, and you can actually dig in right now ahead of all the upcoming action.
Announced on August 29, 2018 on PlayStaion.blog, the new line-up heavily features Destiny 2 front and center, and for good reason. The free trial of the new Gambit mode lands on September 1, and the Destiny 2: Forsaken expansion comes only a few days after on September 4.
Alongside Destiny 2, the line-up for September offers Another World – 20th Anniversary Edition and QUBE Director’s Cut for PS3, and Sparkle 2 and Foul Play for the PS Vita.
Destiny 2’s placement may not be surprising given that PlayStation has often received exclusive and early content since the launch of the first game, although it’s interesting that BUNGIE and Sony outright offer the game ahead of the expansion for free and even more generous that the game is available ahead of the normal release for PS Plus free games.
Forsaken has been expected to be the expansion that opens up and elevates Destiny 2 the way that The Taken King elevated the first game. Whether or not Forsaken will live up to that level of hype remains to be see, but with that said, the bar seems lower than ever for anyone who was curious about jumping into the fracas.
Destiny 2: Forsaken launches worldwide on PC, Xbox One, & PS4 on September 4, 2018. Be sure to check out the last patch notes for Destiny 2 before the expansion finally drops.
