PlayStation Plus Game Catalog PS4 / PS5 Updates for September 2024
Proceeding the PS Plus PS4 / PS5 Games announced earlier this month, today Sony returns with the latest PlayStation Plus additions for September 2024 featuring The Plucky Squire, Night in the Woods, Under The Waves, Pistol Whip, Secret Agent Clank and more available on PlayStation Plus from September 17th. 
Here's further details from Sony Interactive Entertainment Content Acquisition & Operations Director Adam Michel on each of these incoming PSPlus titles, to quote:
PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium | Game Catalog
The Plucky Squire | PS5
The Plucky Squire follows the magical adventures of Jot and his friends – storybook characters who discover a three-dimensional world outside the pages of their book. When the malevolent Humgrump realizes he’s the villain of the book – destined to lose his battle against the forces of good for all eternity – he kicks the heroic Jot out of its pages and changes the story forever.
Jot must face challenges unlike anything he’s ever seen if he is to save his friends from Humgrump’s dark forces and restore the book’s happy ending. Jump between 2D and 3D worlds in this charming action adventure – solving puzzles, boxing badgers, flying with a jetpack, and enjoying many more delightful and surprising mini challenges as you become the hero of a living storybook.
Under The Waves | PS4, PS5
Under the Waves is a narrative-driven adventure game about the engulfing power of grief. Set in the depths of the North Sea in a techno-futuristic 1970s, professional diver Stan is struggling to overcome a life-changing loss and embrace a new future.
A love letter to the oceans, Under The Waves invites you to dive into a gorgeous underwater world, brought to life in a poetic blend of cinematic visuals and poignant storytelling. Live a gripping story through Stan’s eyes and guide him through an unforeseen series of events that will bring him deeper and deeper into the abyss, the reflection of his own psyche.

How it Works
The code below follows five key steps:
- Heap Initialization: Allocates memory in a controlled manner.
- Heap Grooming: Manipulates memory to create gaps for the exploit.
- Memory Exhaustion: Continuously allocates and clears memory to exhaust resources.
- Payload Execution: Executes the payload to perform memory corruption.

We developed PS5 Pro with deeply engaged players and game creators in mind – as many have asked for a console that runs even higher fidelity graphics with smoother frame rates at 60FPS. We achieved this on PS5 Pro with several key performance features.
- Upgraded GPU: With PS5 Pro, we are upgrading to a GPU that has 67% more Compute Units than the current PS5 console and 28% faster memory. Overall, this enables up to 45% faster rendering for gameplay, making the experience much smoother.
- Advanced Ray Tracing: We’ve added even more powerful ray tracing that provides more dynamic reflection and refraction of light. This allows the rays to be cast at double, and at times triple, the speeds of the current PS5 console.
- AI-Driven Upscaling: We’re also introducing PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, an AI-driven upscaling that uses a machine learning-based technology to provide super sharp image clarity by adding an extraordinary amount of detail.
