PlayStation Plus October 2026 Games Catalog: All 9 New Games Revealed

Sony has officially announced the PlayStation Plus Games Catalog lineup for October 2026, bringing a fresh selection of games to Extra and Premium subscribers. This month’s update includes major releases, action-packed adventures, horror experiences, and a day-one launch, giving players plenty of reasons to explore the service’s growing library.

In total, subscribers can access up to nine games across the two membership tiers, with additional benefits available through game trials and downloadable content packs. Highlights include Mafia: The Old Country, Horizon Forbidden West, and Mycopunk, while Premium members will also get access to classic titles such as Dino Crisis 2 and RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition.

Not every game will arrive on the same day, however. Most of the new additions become available on October 20, while several titles are scheduled to join the catalog later in the month. Here’s a complete breakdown of the PlayStation Plus October 2026 games, including their platforms, release dates, and membership requirements.

PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium Games for October 2026

Seven games are joining the PlayStation Plus Games Catalog for both Extra and Premium subscribers. The selection covers several genres, from open-world action and crime drama to horror, role-playing, and racing.

All Games Coming to the Catalog

1. Mafia: The Old Country — PS5

Mafia: The Old Country is one of the biggest highlights of this month’s lineup. Set in the criminal underworld of early 20th-century Sicily, the game explores the origins of organized crime through a story-driven action experience. Its period setting and cinematic presentation make it an appealing choice for players who enjoy narrative-focused adventures.

2. Horizon Forbidden West — PS5, PS4

Guerrilla Games’ Horizon Forbidden West returns to the PlayStation Plus catalog, giving subscribers another opportunity to explore Aloy’s post-apocalyptic world. Players can travel through expansive environments, battle dangerous machines, uncover ancient secrets, and continue the story that began in Horizon Zero Dawn.

The game’s combination of exploration, combat, and striking visuals makes it one of the most substantial additions to October’s selection. Its return is particularly welcome for subscribers who have not yet experienced Aloy’s adventure.

3. Mycopunk — PS5

Mycopunk is the month’s day-one release, arriving on October 20. Day-one additions are particularly valuable for subscription services because they allow members to try a new game without purchasing it separately.

Its arrival gives PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers something fresh to discover alongside established releases. Players interested in trying unfamiliar games may find this one of the more intriguing additions to the October lineup.

4. Poppy Playtime: Chapter 2 — PS5, PS4

Horror fans can look forward to Poppy Playtime: Chapter 2, which joins the catalog on October 27. The game continues the unsettling adventure through the abandoned Playtime Co. factory, where players must solve puzzles, explore disturbing environments, and avoid dangerous threats.

Its blend of environmental storytelling and puzzle-solving makes it a suitable addition for subscribers looking for something different from traditional action games.

5. The Midnight Walk — PS5

Available from October 15, The Midnight Walk arrives earlier than most of this month’s catalog additions. The dark fantasy adventure is known for its distinctive handcrafted visual style and atmospheric presentation.

For players who appreciate unusual art direction and immersive worlds, it offers an alternative to the more conventional blockbuster experiences in the lineup.

6. Tales of Arise – Beyond the Dawn Edition — PS5, PS4

Role-playing game fans will have another reason to revisit Tales of Arise. The Beyond the Dawn Edition includes the original game and additional content associated with its expansion, offering an extensive adventure for players who enjoy character-driven storytelling and real-time combat.

The game follows Alphen and Shionne as they navigate a conflict between two worlds. With its cinematic battles, memorable characters, and expansive story, it provides one of the more substantial RPG experiences in October’s selection.

The edition arrives on October 27.

7. Monster Energy Supercross 25 – The Official Video Game — PS5

Racing fans can take to the dirt with Monster Energy Supercross 25 – The Official Video Game, arriving on October 27. The game focuses on competitive Supercross racing, featuring technical tracks, high-speed action, and the challenge of mastering jumps and tight corners.

It adds some variety to a lineup otherwise dominated by action-adventure, horror, and role-playing experiences.

PlayStation Plus Premium Games for October 2026

Premium subscribers receive two additional catalog games this month, alongside access to selected game trials. These benefits offer a mix of classic gaming and a chance to try upcoming experiences before deciding whether to buy them.

Dino Crisis 2 — PS5, PS4

Capcom’s Dino Crisis 2 is a notable addition for longtime PlayStation fans. Originally released for the original PlayStation, the game combines survival horror elements with fast-paced dinosaur combat and an action-focused approach.

Its arrival gives Premium members an opportunity to revisit a classic from an earlier era of gaming. Players who enjoy retro adventures or want to experience a well-known PlayStation franchise from its earlier years may find this addition especially appealing.

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition — PS5, PS4

For something more relaxed, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition brings theme park management to the October catalog. Players can build roller coasters, design attractions, manage park operations, and create increasingly elaborate entertainment destinations.

Unlike the action-heavy games elsewhere in the lineup, this management simulation offers a slower-paced experience focused on creativity and planning. It is a welcome option for subscribers who prefer building and strategy games.

Premium Game Trials

Premium members will also receive access to trials for two additional titles on October 20:

• Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy
• Mortal Shell II

Game trials allow subscribers to sample selected games before committing to a purchase. They provide an opportunity to experience the gameplay firsthand and decide whether a title matches their preferences.

These trials are separate from the nine catalog additions and should not be confused with full games being added to the subscription library.

Additional PlayStation Plus Perks for October 2026

October’s benefits extend beyond the Games Catalog. Sony is also offering downloadable content packs for subscribers who play the relevant multiplayer titles.

World War Z – Vibrant Halloween Skin Pack

Available from October 20, this cosmetic pack adds a seasonal Halloween-themed option for World War Z players. It is a fitting extra for a month when horror games and Halloween events typically receive additional attention.

Back 4 Blood – Tunnels of Terror Pack

The Back 4 Blood – Tunnels of Terror Pack will be available from October 21 through November 4. Subscribers interested in the game’s additional content should make sure to claim it during the stated availability window.

As with other subscription perks, these packs are intended for players who own or have access to the relevant games. Their availability does not mean that the associated games are automatically included in the October Games Catalog.

Is the PlayStation Plus October 2026 Lineup Worth It?

October’s PlayStation Plus update offers a varied selection rather than focusing on a single genre. Mafia: The Old Country provides a major story-driven attraction, while Horizon Forbidden West gives subscribers another chance to explore one of PlayStation’s most recognizable action-adventure games.

The day-one arrival of Mycopunk adds something new, and the inclusion of Poppy Playtime: Chapter 2 and The Midnight Walk gives horror and atmospheric adventure fans more options. RPG enthusiasts can also look forward to Tales of Arise – Beyond the Dawn Edition, while racing fans have Monster Energy Supercross 25 to explore.

Premium members receive a more nostalgic bonus through Dino Crisis 2, along with the creative freedom of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition. The additional game trials and downloadable content packs round out the monthly benefits.

Ultimately, the value of the October lineup will depend on which games subscribers have already played and the genres they enjoy. However, the combination of established releases, a day-one launch, classic titles, and additional perks gives both Extra and Premium members several options to consider.

The PlayStation Plus October 2026 Games Catalog update begins on October 15 for The Midnight Walk, with most of the lineup arriving on October 20 and the remaining scheduled additions following on October 27. Subscribers should check the PlayStation Store for regional availability and the exact time each title becomes accessible.
