As the month starts to lean toward spooky themes and nights of frights, Sony has revealed a new batch of games coming to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on October 21 for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers. Keeping with the Halloween theme, the highlights this month are all about getting your heart rate to spike dangerously high, thanks to two great horror titles joining the games library. Bloober Team’s remake of Silent Hill 2 made one of the best survival-horror games of all time even better, while the 2024 version of Until Dawn is a grisly and entertaining choose-your-own-demise adventure.
One thing to note here is that you might want to be careful about which games you claim from PS Plus. An ongoing bug with the service has yet to be resolved, and it could cost you ownership of one of your digital games. As pointed out by PlayStation Lifestyle, downloading Yakuza: Like a Dragon from the Game Catalog will result in you losing the ownership license for it if you claimed it as part of the August 2022 PS Plus Essential line.
Basically, if you claim the monthly games via PS Plus Essential and then download them at a later time through the PS Plus Extra and Premium Game Catalog, you will be locked from playing them if those titles leave the service and you’ll have to purchase them again.. In comparison, games claimed via PS Plus Essential are yours to keep as long as you have an active PS Plus subscription. This issue has been around since PS Plus relaunched in 2022, and has yet to be resolved.
After being teased during the recent State of Play livestream, Tomb Raider Anniversary and Tekken 3 are also being added to the Game Catalog’s lineup of classic PlayStation titles for PS Plus Premium subscribers. Here’s a closer look at everything coming to the service soon.
All PS Plus subscribers can also claim new games in October, as Alan Wake 2, Goat Simulator 3, and Cocoon will be available until November 3.
