PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 owners face a crowded release schedule with over 26 new games launching between September 21st and September 27th, according to staff discussions reported by Push Square. The lineup features major titles including psychological horror game Silent Hill: Townfall, survival game Dune: Awakening, and action title Control Resonant, alongside a robust slate of indie and simulation projects.
Major PS5 and PS4 Game Releases for Late September
The final full week of September brings several high-profile additions to Sony’s consoles. Leading the wave is Silent Hill: Townfall, published for PS5 on September 24th. Set against a cold 1996 Scottish backdrop on the island of St. Amelia, protagonist Simon Ordell investigates an abandoned town, according to official game descriptions. Also arriving on September 24th is Control Resonant on PS5, which deploys Dylan Faden to combat a cosmic entity altering reality in Manhattan.
Survival and open-world fans receive Dune: Awakening on PS5 on September 22nd, offering single-player and multiplayer survival mechanics on the desert planet. Meanwhile, sports fans can pick up EA Sports FC 27 on September 25th for both PS5 and PS4, introducing “The Grounds” social football playground on current-generation hardware.
Diverse Indie and Simulation Titles Joining the Catalog
Beyond headline acts, the weekly drop includes niche simulations and narrative experiences. Lawn Mowing Simulator 2 launches on PS5 on September 23rd, expanding professional lawn care with licensed equipment from Kubota, SCAG, and STIGA based on community feedback. Nightdive Studios delivers SiN Reloaded on September 24th, bringing a remastered version of the 1998 shooter to modern hardware.
Additional September 24th releases include narrative horror title I Hear Them, deckbuilding poker roguelike Heroes of Magic & Cards, and Madagascar-inspired adventure Kalanoro. Early-week arrivals feature Graveyard Keeper 2 and Well Dweller on September 22nd, followed by arcade shooter Birdcage and Norse-inspired exploration game Voron: Raven’s Story on September 23rd.
Did You Know?
September continues a historically packed release cadence for PlayStation platforms, leaving editorial staff noting that there are simply too many games launching simultaneously to easily track.
Comparing Monthly Lineups: New Purchases vs. Subscription Additions
While September’s retail and digital store shelves overflow with brand-new software purchases, Sony’s subscription tiers offer a different path for players.
While subscription services focus on established games and early-access favorites like Dragonwilds, the standalone weekly calendar relies heavily on day-one indie launches, remasters, and specialized simulators like Used Cars Simulator and Seafarer: The Ship Sim.
