Ball x Pit and Slitterhead Join PlayStation Plus Today in the US, UK and Japan — original editorial gaming news illustration

PlayStation Plus Extra gets another regional content drop today, with Ball x Pit and Slitterhead becoming available to subscribers in the United States, United Kingdom and Japan. Sony has been staggering parts of September's catalogue by region rather than releasing every title worldwide on the same date. Ball x Pit, one of 2025's breakout indie roguelites, combines brick-breaking mechanics with character progression, projectiles and increasingly ridiculous build combinations as players descend into the remains of Ballbylon. Slitterhead offers an altogether less cheerful evening. Developed by Bokeh Game Studio under Silent Hill creator Keiichiro Toyama, it mixes action and horror around monstrous Slitterheads hiding within human society, with players able to move between different bodies during combat and exploration. Both games join an already sizeable September catalogue that includes RuneScape: Dragonwilds, WWE 2K26, Date Everything!, Mega Man X Command Mission and Metro Redux. Another regional wave is scheduled for September 29, when Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, Dungeons of Hinterberg and Sniper Elite: Resistance arrive for Extra subscribers in the same markets. Subscription catalogues are increasingly becoming release calendars of their own, and today's pair nicely demonstrates PlayStation Plus's current range: one game asks you to bounce balls into hordes of enemies; the other asks whether the person standing next to you is secretly an unspeakable flesh monster.
