October 2024 PlayStation Plus Game Lineup Revealed
As Halloween approaches, PlayStation Plus has announced its lineup of free games for October 2024, featuring a mix of spine-chilling horror titles and a fresh non-horror addition. These titles were unveiled during the September 2024 State of Play event, which also showcased numerous exciting game announcements.
Free PS Plus Games Announced at Sony State of Play
The Sony State of Play and the PlayStation Blog have officially revealed the PlayStation Plus offerings for next month.

Additionally, PS Plus Essential members will gain access to two classic PlayStation titles: Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and Dino Crisis.
A Creepy Collection for October
Spine-Chilling Horror Awaits
October is synonymous with eerie atmospheres, and two of the upcoming PS Plus games perfectly align with this season’s haunting mood. Among them, Doki Doki Literature Club Plus stands out. Although it initially appears as a whimsical anime dating simulator, those who have delved into its depths since its original 2017 release know it harbors a dark, psychological horror narrative that cleverly manipulates the player. The Plus edition, released for PS5 in 2021, enhances the experience with additional content and character side stories.

Dead Space, on the other hand, embraces horror unabashedly. The 2023 PS5 remake of the classic 2008 game hurls players into a terrifying sci-fi world. You assume the role of spaceship engineer Isaac Clarke, tasked with restoring the USG Ishimura. Upon arrival, Isaac discovers the crew brutally massacred and his partner missing. The game thrusts players into survival horror, confronting them with grotesque creatures known as Necromorphs and Isaac’s deteriorating sanity.
A Break from the Frights
Non-Horror Delight in the Lineup
Amidst the horror-centric offerings, WWE 2K24 provides a refreshing change. Released in March 2024, this wrestling game is the latest installment in a beloved franchise, offering a realistic depiction of professional wrestling. This year’s edition highlights cover stars Cody Rhodes, Bianca Belair, and Rhea Ripley. It also introduces entertaining new modes, such as casket and ambulance matches, adding a unique twist to the gameplay.
Diverse Experiences for Every Gamer
October 2024’s PlayStation Plus games promise a diverse array of experiences. Whether you’re looking to step into the thrilling world of wrestling, survive in the vastness of space, or uncover the sinister truths behind a deceptively cute game, this month’s lineup offers something for everyone.
