The PlayStation Plus Game Catalog for October has been unveiled, offering an exciting lineup of games. Leading the pack is Dead Island 2, a zombie action-adventure set in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles. Players are thrust into a world overrun by the undead, navigating through a colorful mix of washed-up Hollywood actors, rockstars, and popstars amidst the chaos. Along with Dead Island 2, this month’s additions include the popular university management sim Two Point Campus, the interactive survival-horror experience The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me, the beautifully crafted adventure platformer Gris, and the return of the iconic point-and-click adventure Return to Monkey Island. These titles will be available to PS Plus Extra and Deluxe/Premium subscribers starting October 15.
In addition to these Game Catalog updates, Sony has revealed new PS VR2 titles and Classic Catalog offerings exclusively for PS Plus Premium members. For those subscribed to any PS Plus tier, the monthly games for October, announced late last month, are already available. These include WWE 2K24, Dead Space, and Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!, which members can now download and play at no extra cost.
Among the standout titles this month is Dead Island 2, developed by Dambuster Studios. The action-RPG delivers a thrilling zombie-slaying experience, tasking players with surviving the streets of LA, also dubbed “Hell-A” in the game. After crash-landing into the city, players are confronted by hordes of zombies, each one adding to the nightmarish atmosphere. The gameplay focuses on crafting and upgrading a variety of melee weapons, from simple baseball bats to katana swords, giving players creative ways to fend off the undead. While the game offers firearms, the satisfaction of smashing zombies up close with melee attacks makes it all the more engaging. Both PS4 and PS5 players will be able to dive into this zombie-infested world.
The variety of titles in this month’s lineup caters to a wide range of gaming preferences, from horror fans to those looking for strategic simulations. Whether managing a quirky university in Two Point Campus or diving into the psychological horror of The Devil in Me, October’s PS Plus additions deliver a diverse gaming experience for subscribers. With so many exciting games across different genres, this month offers something for everyone.
