All The PlayStation Plus October 2024 Games For Premium And Extra Subscribers
We're well into October, and as usual, PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can expect a few new additions in the Game Catalog this month. Starting October 15, there's a fair number of spooky games being added. The big draw this month is Dead Island 2, a sequel that spent years in development and eventually emerged from the shadows as a blast of undead fun with great characters and a ton of charm.
Survival-horror classics like Dino Crisis and Siren will also be available to Premium subscribers, so if you're looking for some retro-inspired scares, these games still pack an effective punch. For something less likely to make your heart race dangerously fast, you can also check out artistic additions to the library like Gris, or you can test your grey matter with a few puzzles in Return to Monkey Island. As a reminder, several games will be leaving PS Plus throughout the month, so try them out while you still can.
All PS Plus subscribers can also claim this month's batch of new games, as Doki Doki Literature Club Plus, Dead Space, and WWE 2K24 are all available to download now.
Dead Island 2 (PS5, PS4)
After years in development, Dead Island 2 finally arrived last year and put its own stamp on the survival-action genre. Set in a new zombie apocalypse unfolding in Los Angeles, the game has a cheeky sense of humor, clever gameplay mechanics, and an in-your-face attitude as you cleave your way through voracious hordes of flesh-eating monsters.
Two Point Campus (PS5, PS4)
After tackling the world of healthcare, developer Two Point Studios took on higher education in Two Point Campus. A management game where you have to build the best facility to help shape the young minds of tomorrow, Two Point Campus also challenges you to keep your institution running when unexpected disasters--and unruly students--threaten to throw an expensive spanner into your operation.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me (PS5, PS4)
In case you can't get your hands on any of the spooky games that have just released this month--like the superb Silent Hill 2--you can experience some cinematic frights with The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me. While it's not quite as good as the other choose-your-own-demise games from Supermassive, The Devil in Me did end the first season of that series with a satisfying bang. This episode focused on a group of documentary filmmakers who received a mysterious call that invited them to tour a replica version of the "murder castle" that serial killer HH Holmes once used as a base of operations. As you can imagine, things do not go well for them here.
Gris (PS5, PS4)
Gris is a prime example of how video games can be art, as this elegant trek through ruined landscapes is a soul-stirring journey of loss and sorrow. As Gris, a hopeful young girl lost who is coming to terms with a painful experience in her life, players will guide her through a world of light puzzles and platforming sections. This is a game with delicate art, detailed animation, and an incredible score, and if you like what you see, developer Nomada Studio also has its new game Neva scheduled to launch on October 15.
Return to Monkey Island (PS5)
Monkey Island fans waited a long time for a new entry in the series, and in 2022, Return to Monkey Island did not disappoint. Kicking off from Monkey Island 2’s cliffhanger ending and returning to the classic point-and-click puzzle-solving gameplay of the original games--with some welcome quality-of-life changes--the game also had a striking hand-painted art style. All of those elements combined made for a fun experience that was appealing to new and old fans looking for a captivating adventure.
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed (PS5, PS4)
While it's a far cry from the thrills of Ghostbusters: The Video Game, Ghostbusters: Spirit Unleashed is still an enjoyable multiplayer game in its own right. As the newest Ghostbusters on the block, you'll need to track down pesky phantoms, bust 'em, and make your wallet feel good with the reward money you get. If you'd like to check it out but don't feel like playing with people, the game also supports a solo offline mode with bots to assist you.
Firefighting Simulator: The Squad (PS5, PS4)
If you've ever wanted to be a firefighter--but didn't want to risk your life--you can try out a digital version of that noble profession this month. In Firefighting Simulator: The Squad, you'll equip yourself with the right gear, explore dozens of locations, and lead an experienced team to battle blazes across the city. It's up to you to delegate or jump into action yourself, and there's also a multiplayer co-op mode if you want to pool resources.
Overpass 2 (PS5)
For some casual racing, Overpass 2 is a pretty competent game focused on satisfying your need for speed on dangerous terrain. There's a healthy mix of off-road vehicles to master, challenging courses, and various modes to conquer, in case you feel like getting dirty while driving powerful buggies and quad-bikes.
Tour de France 2023 (PS5, PS4)
There's no bigger name than the Tour de France when it comes to competitive cycling. If you'd like to experience the grueling event without putting your thighs through physical torture or keeping an eye out for mobs of attention-hungry spectators, you can do so safely from your couch.
The Last Clockwinder (PSVR 2)
Virtual reality fans can check out The Last Clockwinder this month, a game about harvesting resources in a world of endlessly repeating loops. You'll need to build assembly lines and contraptions in this game as you work to repair the titular clocktower you find yourself in, and with some chronal ingenuity, you can lessen the workload by creating clockwork clones to assist you.
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands (PS4)
Back in the PS Plus library in case you missed it the first time it was available in the game catalog, Ghost Recon: Wildlands saw the franchise return in 2017 after an extended hiatus. It's your typical Ubisoft open-world game, full of scenic locations to explore, stuff to collect, and enemies to eliminate, but with its cool military tech and rock-solid gameplay, it's an enjoyable action game that has held up well over the years.
Dino Crisis (PS5, PS4)
While it's not a new Dino Crisis, at least you can check out the original game this month. Set on an island that has been overrun with prehistoric beasts, this classic PlayStation game has gotten some useful upgrades, like improved visuals, custom video filters, quick-save functionality, and even a rewind feature that'll come in handy when you're facing off against some tenacious apex predators.
Siren (PS5, PS4)
Originally released on the PS2, Siren is a 2003 survival-horror game that places a heavy emphasis on stealth. Directed and co-written by Silent Hill's Keiichiro Toyama, the game takes place in the mountain village Hanuda after a supernatural force transforms the inhabitants into homicidal monsters. As one of 10 characters caught in the middle of this nightmare, you'll have three days to master your "Sightjack" powers to see through the eyes of the murderous Shibito, avoid their gaze, and escape the island.
R-Type Dimensions EX (PS4)
Finally, you can check out the coin-op classics R-Type and R-Type II, as both games were bundled together several years back and given a 3D makeover. Not just prettier to look at, the games are pretty great to listen to as well as there are reimagined arrangements of the original music tracks. The gameplay remains largely untouched as you blast through swarms of enemies, and the Infinite game mode will test your stamina as you work your way through all the stages.
