Fog, horror, rain, and gray skies – autumn has arrived in full force, and Sony made sure we can really feel that mood.
As usual, right after the PlayStation Plus Essential lineup drops, it’s time for the Extra and Premium tiers. And honestly, I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I said this month’s lineup is one of the strongest we’ve seen this year – not just because of the titles themselves, but because they fit this gloomy season perfectly.
PlayStation Plus Extra & Premium – Games Available from October 21
Silent Hill 2 | PS5
We’re kicking off the spooky season as James Sunderland in the remake of the 2001 classic.
Fog, grotesque monsters, Pyramid Head – do I even need to introduce it? If you never had the chance to play the original, or if you’ve always wondered why Silent Hill 2 is held in such high regard – this is your moment.
Until Dawn | PS5
Worth noting – we’re getting the 2024 remastered PS5 version.
If you’ve heard anything about Until Dawn, it’s probably how insanely tense it can get. Can you keep everyone alive? Or will only one of them make it through the night? It all depends on your choices.
V Rising | PS5
Vampires, survival, and action RPG mechanics all in one.
Whether you’re playing solo, co-op, or online – V Rising delivers tons of hours of fun. And if you love customizing and building your character exactly the way you want – this game will feel like home.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon | PS5, PS4
The Yakuza series has earned its place as a must-play franchise for every gamer.
Like a Dragon breaks away from the classic beat ‘em up style and goes full turn-based RPG. If you’re new to the series, this is the perfect starting point – and Ichiban Kasuga (the main protagonist) will easily become one of your favorite video game characters.
Poppy Playtime: Chapter 1 | PS5, PS4
Now this one’s pure horror.
A first-person experience where you hide, run, and… try to survive. Can plush toys be terrifying – and deadly? Time to find out for yourself.
As Dusk Falls | PS5
Leaving behind foggy towns and creepy factories – As Dusk Falls tells the story of a robbery gone wrong.
It’s an interactive crime drama that feels like a cinematic experience. If you enjoyed Heavy Rain or Beyond: Two Souls, you’ll feel right at home here.
Wizard with a Gun | PS5
For fans of roguelikes and survival games – this one’s a treat.
It’s kind of like Enter the Gungeon meets Don’t Starve Together. Play solo or in a group of up to four players, level up your wizard, and experiment with new weapon, ammo, and tower setups. Or, if chaos is more your thing – just blow everything (and everyone) up. That works too.
PlayStation Plus Premium
Tekken 3 | PS5, PS4
No introduction needed here – Tekken 3 is a true fighting game classic. A diverse roster of fighters, tons of combos, kicks, blocks, throws – all to drain your opponent’s health bar to zero. Whether you’re into story mode, arcade, versus, or team battle – it’s all here. So grab a friend and kick their ass the old-fashioned way.
Sony keeps spoiling PlayStation Plus subscribers – and judging by this and last month’s lineups, it might just be the perfect time to join PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra, or Premium and give yourself endless hours of incredible gaming fun.
