October 2023's PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium games have been officially announced. We already knew about a chunk of this selection thanks to a leak earlier this week, but as is usually the case with Extra in particular, there are a bunch of titles that weren't mentioned.
We're looking at 15 games in total across both subscription tiers, all of which will be available to download from the 17th of October.

There are some undeniable bangers up for grabs this month. For starters, we can't recommend the excellent Disco Elysium enough — an immaculately written detective RPG that thrills from start to finish. Elsewhere, Alien Isolation, Dead Island Definitive Collection, The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes, and Outlast 2 add a bit of Halloween spice to proceedings, while Gotham Knights might be a decent shout if you're looking for a more casual action game to grind through.
Then, on the PS Plus Premium side of things, we've got four classics. Fighting game fans will likely jump at the chance to replay Tekken 6 and SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny — two PSP titles — while yet another Ape Escape game and IQ Final round the selection off.
What do you make of October's PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium offerings? Go ahead and give us an honest opinion in the comments section below.
Robert's been a dedicated PlayStation fan since the days of Tekken 2, and he still loves a good dust up. When he's not practising combos, he's usually getting lost in the latest 100-hour RPG, or, y'know, replaying The Witcher 3.
Terrible for premium to be honest. Psp and ps1 games that no one wants but none of the ones we do want. Still no ps2 games and no new ps3 games. Sony really needs to up their game or I doubt many will subscribe to premium anymore its actually insulting what premium gets compared to what was promised
Good list for me this month only own one of theses games and will probably play most of these at some point.
@supergurr Speak for yourself, I'm hyped as hell for Tekken and SoulCalibur. Both were great PSP games.
But yes, I agree in that we need more from Premium overall. A seemingly random assortment of three or four games every month doesn't really cut it for the price — especially after the increase.
Gotham Knights is coming to Game Pass and PS Plus in the same month.
Is that going to be a normal thing now?
Kurushi!!! Thats all i can say
A good range of games in there both in terms of genres and AAA/AA/Indie. Also a nice mix of classics (like Disco Elysium) but also games that people may be on the fence about paying hard cash on (like Gotham Knights). Good month imho.
@Kienda I think post-release this makes a lot of sense
PlayStation Plus Premium members will finally be able to take advantage of PlayStation 5 cloud streaming when the feature becomes widely available later this month.
Set to begin on the 20th October, the closed beta test for Tekken 8 will be used to showcase the game's unique 'Super Ghost Battle' mode. First explained during a Tokyo Game Show presentation last month, these AI-based fights sound pretty cool, as player data is used to create incredibly accurate 'ghosts' that anyone can fight against. In theory, this will let you test your skills against friends or even pro competitors without actually having to match up with them.
Sony is using the opportunity of the PS5’s smaller, slimmer relaunch to stealthily bump the price of the Digital Edition in the United States. While we already know you’ll need to pay extra for a standalone vertical stand, the organisation has also made the decision to hike the overall cost of the non-Blu-ray unit by $50. This means, moving forwards, the disc-less device will increase from an MSRP of $399.99 to $449.99.
Bandai Namco has tapped into the hype surrounding the second season of Spy X Family, releasing the first full gameplay trailer for its upcoming PS5 and PS4 adaptation, Spy x Anya: Operation Memories. The game has Boku No Natsuyasumi vibes to it, as you’ll be accompanying the eponymous pink-haired heroine on holiday with her adopted family, and engaging in various minigames.
Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 is getting yet another major update on the 12th October — and as if that wasn't enough, Bandai Namco has announced that a PS5 version will release in 2024. If you can believe it, it's actually the game's 7th anniversary, and to say support for XenoVerse 2 has been impressive would be a serious understatement.
Gotham Knights leads the pack of new titles coming to the PlayStation Plus Extra and Deluxe/ Premium game catalog, this month. Starting October 17, all higher-tier PS Plus members can hop onto their Batcycles and ride around the streets of Gotham City, beating up all kinds of volatile criminals in the hopes of unmasking the enigmatic Court of Owls. Players can switch between Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing, and the Red Hood throughout the story to investigate Batman/ Bruce Wayne's death, and build out their character via a gear system. Gotham Knights wasn't nicely received at launch due to a myriad of performance issues across console and PC, in addition to having a repetitive gameplay loop. It will be available on the PS5 only.
Along with announcing a launch date for PS5 cloud streaming via PlayStation Plus Premium, Sony revealed the newest games coming to Extra and Premium in October. Starting October 17th, subscribers can get their hands on Gotham Knights, the only current-gen title for the month.
Hold onto your subscriptions because Sony has revealed the games coming to PlayStation Plus on October 17. This set involves a bunch of horror games, just in time for Hallowe’en. It’s definitely not a bad mix, but the Classic Catalog line-up is anemic, as usual. On the other hand, I’m surprised by one particular game’s inclusion.
Earlier this year, Sony promised they would launch PS5 cloud streaming for PlayStation Plus Premium members sometime this year, and now they’ve revealed the new feature will be arriving this month. Streaming games to PS4 or PC won’t be supported yet, so some may question the utility, but it will allow you to keep SDD space clear while testing out PS Plus titles. The streaming tech also sounds fairly advanced, allowing you to play at up to 4K and 60fps with HDR. Here’s a rundown of key features…
Sony is targeting the middle and end of October.
Sony has announced that PS5 cloud streaming for PlayStation Plus Premium goes live on October 17th in Japan, October 23rd in Europe and October 30th in North America. There will be several titles from the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog to stream, with “hundreds” of PS5 titles to support the same later.
