With the next PS Plus Extra and Premium games revealed, players are looking forward to the announcement of PS Plus Essential October 2025 monthly free games. However, this time, we may have to wait a tad longer than usual for both the lineup’s announcement and release.
When will PS Plus Essential October 2025 monthly free games go live?
PS Plus Essential games follow the original release pattern, i.e., dropping on the first Tuesday of each month. This year, September 30 falls on a Tuesday, which means that October’s monthly freebies will go live on the following Tuesday, October 7.
As for the announcement, Sony typically reveals the games on the last Wednesday of each month, so we’ll hear something by September 24 at the latest. However, the company is celebrating 15 years of PS Plus and the 30th anniversary of PlayStation this year, and does sometimes announce games sooner than usual, so we might hear something before the 24th. Just don’t get your hopes up.
Players are especially looking forward to October’s Essential lineup because the Extra and Premium catalog is a little bare-bones this time around. Although it’s headlined by the recently released WWE 2K25, only one classic is being added to Premium/Deluxe alongside seven Extra games.
Fingers crossed for a fun Essential lineup!
