New games coming to the PS Plus catalog

Sony is expanding the PS Plus Game Catalog once again with its October update. This month’s lineup includes both familiar faces of horror and new-generation survival experiences set in dark realms. Add to that a heartfelt interactive drama that defined an era and an open-world adventure mixing crime with humor, and the picture becomes clear: PS Plus is bringing together four powerful titles under one roof. Let’s take a closer look at what’s coming.

Silent Hill 2

Release Date: September 25, 2001
Developer: Team Silent
Publisher: KONAMI

A cornerstone of the horror genre, Silent Hill 2 focuses more on atmosphere and symbolism than action. Players control James Sunderland, who travels to the eerie town of Silent Hill after receiving a mysterious letter from his deceased wife, only to find that the town reflects his own guilt and trauma.

Until Dawn

Release Date: August 26, 2015
Developer: Ballistic Moon
Publisher: PlayStation Publishing LLC

Until Dawn reinvented horror through interactivity. Eight friends trapped in a mountain cabin face deadly choices; every decision matters, and one wrong move can mean death. The game turns classic horror tropes upside down, transforming fear into a cinematic experience shaped by the player’s own decisions.

V Rising

Release Date: May 8, 2024
Developer: Stunlock Studios
Publisher: Stunlock Studios

V Rising blends classic vampire myth with modern survival gameplay. Players awaken as weakened vampires determined to rebuild their power and rule once more. By night they hunt and gather resources; by day they hide from the deadly sun. The console version expands the experience with refined combat and co-op features.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon

Release Date: November 10, 2020
Developer: Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio
Publisher: SEGA

Breaking from tradition, Yakuza: Like a Dragon trades real-time combat for a turn-based RPG system. Players follow Ichiban Kasuga, a former yakuza navigating Japan’s criminal underworld. Loyalty, betrayal, and redemption remain at the story’s core, giving the series a fresh but familiar heart.

Poppy Playtime: Chapter 1

Release Date: October 12, 2021
Developer: Mob Entertainment
Publisher: Mob Entertainment

A twisted take on childhood nostalgia, Poppy Playtime follows a former toy factory employee returning to an abandoned workplace now crawling with horrors. Its star, Huggy Wuggy, has become one of indie horror’s most unforgettable icons.

As Dusk Falls

Release Date: July 19, 2022
Developer: Interior Night
Publisher: Xbox Game Studios

An interactive drama about crime, family, and fate, As Dusk Falls tells the story of two families whose lives collide in an Arizona motel in 1998. With its hybrid of hand-drawn art and live-action visuals, every decision feels like painting your own version of right and wrong.

Wizard With A Gun

Release Date: October 17, 2023
Developer: Galvanic Games
Publisher: Devolver Digital

A chaotic blend of survival and magic, Wizard With A Gun lets players wield both bullets and spells in a shattered world. Its stylish art direction and co-op gameplay emphasize that magic isn’t just power, it’s danger.

This month’s PS Plus lineup is more than a collection of games; it’s a reflection of gaming’s variety from fear and crime to fantasy and reflection. With this selection, Sony continues to balance nostalgia with innovation. Which world will you spend the most time in?
