PS Plus Essential users treated to a fantastic monthly lineup in October 2025
Sony significantly improved PS Plus Essential offerings in the latter half of 2025. For the past several months in a row, subscribers have received critically-acclaimed games that are ours to keep for good. October’s lineup is no exception.
Headlining this month’s free games is hit horror game Alan Wake 2 — a perfect addition ahead of Halloween. The game received several quality and improvement updates post launch, including a patch that made collectible hunting for trophies more convenient.
Joining Alan Wake 2 are Goat Simulator 3 and Cocoon. The former needs no introduction, and the latter is an award-winning Annapurna puzzle adventure game directed by Jeppe Carlsen of Limbo and Inside fame.
Alan Wake 2 is the only game in the October monthly lineup that isn’t available on PS4. Owners of the last-gen console have another two months left to enjoy PS Plus as come January 2026, Sony will be shifting its focus to PS5 games.
