PlayStation’s latest photo theme turns water into the set piece
Sony Interactive Entertainment has published the latest PS Blog Share of the Week, and the September 11, 2026 theme is Water. The roundup, posted by Kristen Zitani, Manager of Content Communications at Sony Interactive Entertainment, features six PlayStation community screenshots built around rain, reflections, rivers, beaches and characters moving through water.
The most immediate wrinkle is the range of games represented. PlayStation Blog says last week’s prompt asked players to share moments highlighting water from “the game of your choice” using #PSshare and #PSBlog. That open wording shows up in the final selection: the featured images span PlayStation Studios-style adventure staging, stealth icons, racing reflections and open-world coastline shots rather than a single franchise lane.
For readers looking for the current PlayStation Share of the Week water winners, the official post is live on PlayStation Blog under the title “Share of the Week: Water.” PlayStation also points players to Twitter and Instagram searches for #PSshare and #PSBlog to see additional entries beyond the six highlighted on the blog.
The six featured Water shots and the games behind them
The September 11 PS Blog Share of the Week post names six community photographers and describes the moments selected for the Water theme. The featured lineup opens with honeysinghzzz, whose image captures a water reflection in Forza Horizon 5. That is followed by JAA_PhMode_0510, whose submission shows Snake wading through water in what PlayStation Blog lists as Metal Gear Solid Delta Snakeater.
The roundup then shifts into a run of character-driven action and adventure imagery. fwto_ is featured for a shot of Jin paused along a river in Ghost of Tsushima, while DarrellNeloms is included for an image of Aloy wading through deep water in Horizon Forbidden West. PlayStation Blog also highlights ps5_gamerspov for a beach island view from Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, and rorottino for Sam walking through a creek in Death Stranding 2: On The Beach.
Taken together, the chosen shots lean into water as both environment and mood. A reflection in a racing game reads differently from Snake pushing through a swamp or Aloy cutting across deep water. That range is the point of the prompt as PlayStation framed it: the theme was not limited to oceans or waterfalls, even though the previous week’s prompt language specifically invited “gaming oceans, rivers, and waterfalls.” The final selection favors movement, surface detail and atmosphere over a single type of scene.
Where to view the featured shots and the wider gallery
The official featured images are collected in the September 11 “Share of the Week: Water” post on PlayStation Blog. Each highlighted creator name in the post links out to the submitted image on X or Instagram, depending on where the player shared it. PlayStation’s post also includes a “View and download image” prompt tied to the blog page’s image viewer.
For the wider pool of PlayStation community screenshots, Sony’s guidance is straightforward: search #PSshare and #PSBlog on Twitter or Instagram. That matters because the blog post is a curated highlight reel, not a full gallery of every eligible submission. The hashtag search is where players can see the surrounding field of entries, including shots that were submitted for the Water theme but were not selected for the PlayStation Blog feature.
PlayStation Blog also links readers to a PlayStation Store category for games featuring Photo Mode. The store link is presented as inspiration for future Share of the Week entries, not as an eligibility list. In the Water post itself, Sony says players can submit from the game of their choice, which is broader than any single store category.
A community showcase with a wider frame than PlayStation exclusives
The Water roundup is branded through PlayStation channels and PlayStation hashtags, but the selected games show how broad the Share of the Week format has become. Ghost of Tsushima and Horizon Forbidden West are natural fits for PlayStation photo mode culture, with sweeping landscapes, strong silhouettes and readable character staging. Death Stranding 2: On The Beach also fits that cinematic screenshot tradition, especially in a theme built around terrain, traversal and lonely environmental composition.
Forza Horizon 5’s inclusion creates the more interesting platform-facing detail in this specific roundup. PlayStation Blog itself lists the Forza Horizon 5 submission among the official highlights and describes it as a water reflection shot. The blog’s prompt did not require a PlayStation Studios game or a PlayStation-exclusive release; it asked for a water moment from the game of the player’s choice using the two PlayStation community tags.
That framing keeps the feature focused on the act of capture rather than ownership of any one series. In practical terms, the PS Blog Share of the Week is operating as a recurring community photography prompt. The screenshots are the subject, and the theme supplies the discipline. Water is a strong test case because it rewards timing and composition: a still surface can sell scale, a river can draw the eye through a frame, and a character wading through depth can turn traversal into a small narrative beat.
How this fits the recent Share of the Week rhythm
The Water theme follows a clear weekly chain on PlayStation Blog. On August 28, the Share of the Week theme was Breathtaking Views. That post asked players to submit trees for the next prompt by 11:59 PM PT on September 2. On September 4, PlayStation published the Trees roundup, featuring screenshots from games including Ghost of Yōtei, Horizon Forbidden West, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, God of War and Stellar Blade.
At the end of the Trees post, PlayStation set the next theme as Water and told players to submit by 11:59 PM PT on September 9. The September 11 Water article is the result of that call. The structure is consistent across the recent posts: Sony publishes a themed set of community highlights, directs readers to #PSshare and #PSBlog for more entries, then announces the next prompt and deadline.
That cadence gives photo mode players a predictable loop. The prompt arrives, the community captures or digs through saved shots, and the following PS Blog post spotlights a small group of images. For action and adventure games in particular, that rhythm encourages players to reframe familiar set pieces. A duel by a river, a trek through a creek or a beach approach can become the week’s submission instead of background scenery.
How to submit for the next Share of the Week prompt
The next Share of the Week theme is Seasons. According to the September 11 PlayStation Blog post, players need to share “a moment embodying one of the seasons” from the game of their choice using #PSshare and #PSBlog. The deadline listed by PlayStation is 11:59 PM PT on September 16, 2026.
The practical steps are simple. Capture a screenshot that clearly communicates spring, summer, autumn or winter within a game scene, then post it publicly on Twitter or Instagram with both required tags: #PSshare and #PSBlog. Based on the wording in Sony’s post, the game choice is open. The source material does not list platform restrictions, file requirements, region rules or a guaranteed number of featured selections for next week.
Players trying to stand out should treat the theme as a visual read, not a caption exercise. Snowfall, autumn leaves, heavy summer light or spring color need to be legible before anyone reads the post text. The recent Water selections suggest that PlayStation’s curators are looking for clean thematic clarity across a variety of games. A strong Share of the Week submission should make the season visible in the frame itself, then let the hashtags do the routing.
