PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers will have a raft of new games to play next week.
With Halloween almost here, it’s no surprise to see nightmarish aliens, zombies, and deranged cults making an appearance in this month’s new titles.
All told, Sony is adding a total of 15 games to its gaming service on October 17, including last year’s superhero saga Gotham Knights. In case you missed it, PlayStation 5 game streaming will also launch for Premium subscribers later this month. In the meantime, you can watch a free library of movies through the new Sony Pictures Core app. And, don’t forget to check out this month’s free PS Plus monthly games, including gory survival thriller The Calisto Protocol.
Here’s the full list of new additions coming to PS Plus Extra and Premium in October.
PS Plus Extra and Premium October games
Gotham Knights
With Batman out of the picture, it’s up to his crime-fighting protégés to protect Gotham’s rain-soaked streets from marauding hoodlums. Suit up as either Robin, Batgirl, Red Hood, or Nightwing to thwart enemies using aerial acrobatics or explosive firepower. While it doesn’t scale the heights of the Batman: Arkham series, Gotham Knights should still please fans of melee action games. It lands on PS Plus following its arrival on Xbox Game Pass earlier this month.
Disco Elysium: The Final Cut
An RPG with a rich narrative that plays like a point-and-click game, Disco Elysium is one of the most acclaimed titles of the past decade. Players assume the role of a forgetful detective trying to solve a murder mystery in a seaside town while piecing together his own memories. Fans of The Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2 will revel in the abundance of choice the game offers. The final cut, released in 2021, includes voicework for nearly 300 characters, which amounts to a whopping 1.2 million words of dialogue and narration.
