PlayStation Plus is Sony's version of Xbox Game Pass, and it offers subscribers a large and constantly expanding library of games. There are three PlayStation Plus tiers -- Essential ($10 a month), Extra ($15 a month) and Premium ($18 a month) -- and each gives subscribers access to games. However, only subscribers to the Extra and Premium tiers can access the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog. 

PlayStation added over a dozen games to its Game Catalog on Sept. 17, including the action-adventure game The Plucky Squire. Here's what games subscribers can play now and games PlayStation added in August.

Storybook character Jot gets kicked out of his book and finds out he's a 2D character in a 3D world in this action-adventure game. But that won't stop Jot from fighting his way through two- and three-dimensional environments to get back into his own story and restore the book's happy ending. Guide Jot through unique environments, help him solve puzzles, aid him in boxing badgers -- you read that right -- and help him become the hero of the story.

Night in the Woods

You've dropped out of college and returned to your hometown in this narrative-focused adventure game. But something feels off, strange things begin to happen around town and there's something in the woods. This is a nice cozy game where you can hang out with your friends and play music while you solve the mysteries that beset the characters.

Mosquitos are annoying, and that's your job in this PlayStation 2 rerelease. You control a mosquito inside a house party, and you have to collect enough blood to survive the winter. But the owners know you're buzzing around and are out to swat you out of the air. So use stealth, cunning and more to avoid the homeowners and watch as their irritation with you tears them apart. This game is only available for Premium subscribers.

Other games coming to PlayStation Plus

Those are a few of the games PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can play now, and subscribers can play these games, too.

*Premium only.
