August is coming to a close, and that means once again Sony is rolling out its PlayStation Plus line-up for the next month. September will bring Velocity 2X, Sportsfriends, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, and more. Check out the full line-up below, via the PlayStation Blog.

Velocity 2X (PS4, PS Vita)

Use the Quarp Drive teleport to outsmart the evil Vokh in race-tuned space combat, then dock your ship, jump out and continue the fight on foot! Velocity 2X is the visually dazzling action packed sequel to Velocity Ultra, featuring amazing puzzle-platforming action alongside award-winning shooter gameplay!

Sportsfriends (PS4, PS3)

Sportsfriends is a compendium of award-winning local multiplayer games for living rooms, parties, and even backyards. Featuring: retro-styled fighting game BaraBariBall, QWOP-like pole vault dueling game Super Pole Riders, high-velocity sports game Hokra, and face-to-face physical party game Johann Sebastian Joust. All the games are playable with the DualShock®4 wireless controller, while Johann Sebastian Joust can be further enhanced by the PlayStation Move Motion Controller (sold separately).

PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale (PS3, PS Vita)

From Kratos to Sly Cooper, Sweet Tooth to Parappa the Rapper, Sony characters from all over the gaming spectrum are brought together in a fighting adventure that’s both easy to play, and hard to master. Take the battle online for competitive multiplayer action, or go head to head with a group of friends on the couch and prove once and for all who’s really the best!

Hoard (PS3)

HOARD is an innovative fast-paced arcade action-strategy title from Big Sandwich Games that puts you in control of conquering a medieval kingdom. Your goal is to build a giant pile of gold to sleep on in your lair. YOU ARE THE DRAGON: Scare villages! Burn castles! Collect treasure! Roast pesky knights and thieves! Compete or co-operate with other dragons in epic multiplayer battles!

Joe Danger (PS Vita)

Take Joe on a ride from zero to hero in a game that lives up to its big brother with no compromises. Eye-popping super-smooth 60FPS graphics use only the very brightest colours on Vita’s lovely screen, and we’ve revamped the JD control scheme so it plays just as nicely, too, including touch controls for the editor modes!

TxK (PS Vita)

Glowing vectors, explosive particle effects and a pulse-pounding soundtrack are core elements of many modern arcade shooters – a style that Llamasoft defined with its seminal 90s tube shooter. TxK is the spiritual successor to that genre-defining work and brings you 100 levels of engrossing score-chasing gameplay, married to an outstanding soundtrack that will have your head nodding as you blast your way onto the scoreboards.

      Awesome! I've been waiting for Sportsfriends to get discounted a bit or wind up on PS+. Fucking fun games.

        This PS4 line up is shit. I don't have friends.

      This might just be the weakest line-up they've had since I started subscribing two years ago.

      But hey, at least Destiny will be out.

        haha I'm pretty sure there have been weaker lineups. The current offerings are worse imo.

          Nonsense! We got Dragon's Crown in August, and I'd count that as one of the best PS+ titles in a while.

          It's frustrating to still not have things like Catherine or MGS: Revengeance when they've hit PS+ in EU, and instead get shit like Hoard.

            Now you're just trying to start an argument. I said "current".

                Oh - didn't even look at the Vita option. I never pull mine out anymore. :/

        I'd expect Infamous: Second Son to hit PS+ eventually, and it 0wns.

        I'd be amazed if it isn't Knack or Killzone, and if I had to guess, it'll be in November to celebrate 1 year of PS4.

          I want Knack, only because I'm not willing to pay for it. ;)

      Pretty weak for the PS4. To be fair though I havent even finished playing the last 2 months worth of PS+ games so it's not the end of the world.

          For two of the games you can share controllers, which makes Super Pole Riders even more awkward.

          Yea I was thinking about it actually for Towerfall Ascension but like you said, only two controllers. If we could scrounge up 2 more somewhere we could totally do it though. Unfortunately I'm not gonna shell out the $120 for them right now.

          We almost killed a buddy of mine because he was laughing so hard. That collection of games was so much fun. Unfortunately local only but if you get 4+ together it's a riot.

      I'm pumped for Velocity 2X! The first one rocked, I have really high hopes for the second one. It's also crazy they are giving new games in PS Plus (yes, I know this is because there's not much else to give).
