Sony recently announced the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium games for September, and it hasn't gone down well with fans!

The September PlayStation Plus Extra line-up is headlined by The Plucky Squire, which is a brand new release inspired by classic Legend of Zelda games. It actually looks pretty decent.

With no sign of predicted blockbusters like God of War Ragnarok, it's fair to say that the rest of the line-up hasn't been quite so well received. Indeed, other games joining the underwhelming line-up include Under The Waves, Night in the Woods, Chernobylite, Wild Card Football, Space Engineers, Road 96, Ben 10 and Far Cry 5.

And the bad news doesn't end there, because Sony is planning remove a whopping 16 games from the service on September 17, including one of the biggest and best PlayStation exclusives from the PS5 era.

Sony has announced that PS4 and PS5 open-world action game Horizon Forbidden West is leaving the service this month. It follows Horizon Zero Dawn, which was removed from PS Plus Extra back in May. 

Considering Horizon Forbidden West is a first-party exclusive, it seems odd that Sony would remove the game from its own subscription service.

With Forbidden West confirmed to be one of the games getting a PS5 Pro upgrade, perhaps Sony believes that by removing it from PS Plus Extra, the game will sell more units when the console hits shelves in November.

Other games leaving PS Plus Extra this month include Unpacking, 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2, Planet Coaster and Marvel's Midnight Suns.

That's on top of Alien Isolation, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Nier Replicant, Spiritfarer and Cloudpunk.

Fans of JRPGs will also be disappointed to hear that a host of Star Ocean games are leaving PS Plus Extra, such as Star Ocean: First Departure R, Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness, Star Ocean: The Divine Force, Star Ocean: The Last Hope and Star Ocean: Till the End of Time.
