PlayStation Podcast 548 spotlights September's biggest games
The latest Official PlayStation Podcast surveys September releases, next week's games and the latest PlayStation Blog features.
Published on 25 September 2026, Official PlayStation Podcast Episode 548 looks back at September's major releases and the games the PlayStation Blog team is still playing. The episode also points listeners towards next week's launches, including Minecraft Dungeons II, Toem 2, Way of the Hunter 2, End of Abyss, Dynasty Warriors 3 Complete Edition Remastered, Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition and Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve.
What Episode 548 covers
The episode is built as a compact release-season catch-up rather than a single-game deep dive. Sid Shuman, Kristen Zitani and Brett Elston discuss the recent wave of third-party launches, with The Blood of Dawnwalker and Control Resonant among the games mentioned at the top of the show.
The accompanying rundown also links to a hands-on look at Silent Hill: Townfall, a first look at the Lisa Limited Edition DualSense wireless controller and merchandise, and a feature on how Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve uses a first-person viewpoint to make its story more personal ahead of the game's 2 October launch.
A useful snapshot of what is next
The release list gives the episode a practical hook. Minecraft Dungeons II, Way of the Hunter 2 and the remastered Dynasty Warriors 3 are among the immediately visible names, while Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition and Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve underline how busy the end of September and start of October are for PlayStation players. As ever, the post warns that platform release dates can change.
That mix is the story here: a first-party podcast acting as a weekly map through a crowded release calendar, with links out to the deeper PlayStation Blog coverage for the individual games and hardware.
Our opinion
Episode 548 sounds most useful when it behaves like a guide rather than a sales pitch. A list of games is easy to skim, but the linked hands-on pieces give the roundup some editorial weight and help separate a genuinely interesting week from a merely busy one. The strongest reason to listen is therefore not a single reveal; it is the context around the releases. PlayStation's late-September slate is crowded enough that a short, official briefing can save players from missing the one game or feature that actually fits their taste.
