As the Halloween season creeps closer, Sony has lined up a chilling yet exciting roster for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members this October 2025. This month’s catalog is a treat for horror fans, but there’s also a mix of RPGs, survival adventures, and classic fighting games to keep everyone entertained.
All the new PS Plus Extra and Premium games go live on October 21, 2025, less than a week after their official reveal on October 15 at 4:30 PM BST. The update refreshes the service with both modern hits and nostalgic classics just in time for Halloween gaming marathons.
PS Plus Extra Lineup for October 2025
This month’s Extra-tier additions balance eerie atmospheres with intense storytelling and action-packed gameplay. Here’s what you can play starting October 21:
- Silent Hill 2 (PS5) – The critically acclaimed remake from Bloober Team headlines the lineup. With enhanced visuals, immersive sound design, and over-the-shoulder combat inspired by Resident Evil 4, this version redefines the survival horror experience. It’s a masterclass in atmosphere and tension — perfect for late-night sessions.
- Until Dawn (PS5) – Supermassive Games returns with the 2024 remake of its beloved interactive horror classic. Featuring updated graphics and smoother gameplay, Until Dawn lets players shape the story through tough choices as they fight to survive a night of terror in the mountains.
- V Rising (PS5) – Step into the role of a vampire awakening after centuries of slumber. This open-world survival game blends base-building, crafting, and intense combat in a gothic fantasy world that thrives on darkness and strategy.
- Yakuza: Like a Dragon (PS5 | PS4) – SEGA’s turn-based RPG entry in the Yakuza series brings humor, chaos, and heartfelt storytelling. Follow Ichiban Kasuga’s journey from an ex-yakuza to a hero of the streets in one of the franchise’s most accessible and emotional titles.
- As Dusk Falls (PS5 | PS4) – Once an Xbox exclusive, this award-winning narrative adventure lands on PlayStation. Told through motion comic-style visuals, it explores two families across decades of intertwining choices, crime, and redemption.
- Poppy Playtime: Chapter 1 (PS5 | PS4) – A shorter yet nerve-wracking horror experience, this indie hit takes you into the eerie halls of an abandoned toy factory. Every shadow hides a secret, and every corridor might be your last.
- Wizard with a Gun (PS5) – For players craving a break from the horror, this stylish twin-stick shooter offers magical chaos and survival crafting. Team up with friends to explore, craft spells, and survive in a world collapsing under cosmic disorder.
PS Plus Premium Lineup for October 2025
Premium subscribers get a smaller but nostalgic bonus this month:
- Tekken 3 (PS5 | PS4) – The legendary PlayStation fighter returns. One of the most celebrated fighting games of all time, Tekken 3 still holds up with its tight mechanics, iconic characters, and lightning-fast matches. It’s a blast from the past that fits perfectly in the Premium classics catalog.
Note: While Tomb Raider Anniversary and Soulcalibur III were mentioned by leakers, they are not confirmed in Sony’s official October list, though both are rumored for upcoming updates.
Games Leaving PS Plus in October 2025
As new titles arrive, a few are set to exit the library on October 21. Games leaving include:
- Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed
- Tour de France 2023
- The Last Clockwinder
- Battlefield 1
The list is relatively short this month, giving players more room to focus on the fresh lineup.
A Halloween Month Done Right
Sony’s October update feels perfectly curated for the season. Between Silent Hill 2, Until Dawn, and Poppy Playtime, horror fans have plenty to keep their adrenaline pumping. Meanwhile, Yakuza: Like a Dragon and As Dusk Falls ensure there’s depth and variety for those who prefer strong narratives over scares.
Even with Premium adding just one classic, Tekken 3 offers an undeniable hit of nostalgia. Overall, it’s a month that caters to both new-generation thrill-seekers and retro fans alike.
