As every month, Sony has prepared new titles for PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers.

September perfectly set the autumn mood by adding Stardew Valley, Psychonauts 2, and Viewfinder to the library.

Now, October brings something darker and more atmospheric – perfectly fitting the Halloween season – with one of 2023’s biggest hits: Alan Wake 2!

Games Available from October 7

Alan Wake 2 | PS5

If you’ve been a PS Plus subscriber for at least two years, you probably had the chance to grab Alan Wake Remastered in July 2023. If so, this is the perfect moment to return to Bright Falls and begin a thrilling, horror-filled adventure that continues Alan’s mysterious story.

Cocoon | PS4, PS5

Remember Limbo and Inside? If you do, Cocoon will bring back great memories – and for a good reason. The game was created by Jeppe Carlsen, the lead designer of both Limbo and Inside. That alone is the perfect reason to give this new indie gem a try.
