During the State of Play broadcast on September 3, 2026, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced three titles for the PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog, a service for Premium plan members. Mega Man X: Command Mission arrives in September, while Dino Crisis 2 and the original Ratchet & Clank are scheduled to join within 2026. The Classics Catalog lineup for the second half of 2026 was the focus of the announcement. The additions were revealed alongside other news from the stream, which included Mycopunk, a four-player cooperative FPS set to hit the Game Catalog at launch. The three Classics titles span different eras and genres, from the turn-based RPG spin-off of Mega Man X to the survival horror sequel and the platforming series debut. Sony did not provide specific release dates for the two later arrivals, only the window of later this year. The announcements were part of a broader State of Play presentation that covered multiple upcoming PlayStation offerings.
The State of Play broadcast on September 3, 2026, served as the platform for Sony Interactive Entertainment to outline its Classics Catalog additions for the latter half of the year. The service is available to PlayStation Plus Premium members, and the new lineup includes three distinct titles: the role-playing game Mega Man X: Command Mission, the survival horror sequel Dino Crisis 2, and the original Ratchet & Clank. Mega Man X: Command Mission is slated for a September arrival, while the other two are confirmed only for a 2026 release window.
The announcement did not clarify whether these will be the only Classics Catalog entries for the period, leaving room for further reveals. Separately, the same broadcast introduced Mycopunk, a four-player cooperative first-person shooter about robots cleaning up a mushroom disaster, which will debut directly into the Game Catalog. The selection highlights a mix of nostalgia-driven picks and newer cooperative titles, though Sony has not detailed any technical enhancements or regional availability for the Classics additions.
