PS Plus Extra Games for October 2024 Should Add More Horror

Key Takeaways

  • PS Plus should prioritize horror games in its Extra and Premium lineup for October 2024.
  • Recent additions of Dead Space and The Last of Us Part 1 set a spooky season trend on PS Plus.
  • Potential additions like the Resident Evil 4 remake and Silent Hill 3 could enhance the horror lineup.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I can confidently say that October is the spookiest time of year for gamers. With Halloween just around the corner, there’s nothing quite like huddling up on a chilly autumn night and diving into a bone-chilling horror game. That’s why I wholeheartedly believe that PS Plus should capitalize on this trend and add more horror games to its Extra and Premium lineup for October 2024.

The PS Plus subscription has kicked off October nicely by offering three exciting games – Dead Space (2023), WWE 2K24, and Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! for its Essential tier. As more games from the Extra and Premium tiers are set to join, it might be beneficial for PS Plus to focus on a specific genre of games, taking into account the recent additions to their service.

The upcoming PS Plus Extra and Premium titles for October 2024 are set to be unveiled on October 9, with the games becoming available on the service a week later, starting from October 15. Although we can’t predict which games will be included at this time, there’s anticipation that PS Plus will continue its existing trend when announcing these new additions.

PS Plus October 2024 Needs More Horror in Its Extra and Premium Lineup

The Dead Space Remake and The Last of Us Part 1 Were Both Recently Added to PS Plus

In October, two highly anticipated remakes, “Dead Space” and “The Last of Us Part 1”, have been added to PS Plus. Given their eerie themes, this timing couldn’t be more perfect as we step into the heart of ‘spooky season’, making it an ideal moment to immerse yourself in horror games such as the remade versions of “Dead Space” and “The Last of Us Part 1”.

The remake of “Dead Space” was launched in January and garnered favorable responses from critics due to its successful enhancement of the original game’s environment, gameplay, and other aspects. Although the narrative of the “Dead Space” remake remains consistent, it introduced a variety of new elements to the gameplay experience, such as a fully-voiced protagonist named Isaac Clarke, an upgraded USG Ishimura setting, more refined combat, improved visuals, and increased gore.

Initially, upon its Steam release, The Last of Us Part 1 faced a barrage of negative critiques. However, following updates to optimize its PC performance, the game has regained popularity. While it may not deliver the sheer terror that Dead Space does, it certainly has its spine-tingling moments, particularly during Joel and Ellie’s expeditions into its bleakest locales. Essentially, The Last of Us Part 1 remains the same original game, but now offers enhanced gameplay, combat, and a broader range of accessibility options compared to its earlier versions.

PS Plus Extra and Premium Games for October 2024 Should Capitalize on Spooky Season

PS Plus Extra Games for October 2024 Should Add More Horror

With the release of the remake for “Dead Space” and “The Last of Us Part 1” on PS Plus, it seems likely that more terrifying games will be added to both the Extra and Premium catalogues this month. Potential additions could include the critically acclaimed “Resident Evil 4” remake from last year, as well as the first-person shooter “F.E.A.R.”, which delivers a chilling horror experience on PS4.

Perhaps PS Plus could think about including the first-person survival horror game with stealth aspects and puzzle-solving known as “Soma” in their October 2024 Extra and Premium collection. Furthermore, considering the recent release of the Silent Hill 2 remake, adding the classic PS2 game, Silent Hill 3, to this month’s PS Plus Extra and Premium offerings could be a great choice.

The PlayStation Plus program hasn’t revealed its Extra and Premium games for October 2024 just yet, but that day is quickly approaching. Fingers crossed that their announcement on October 9 will feature additional horror games to enhance the terrifying experience they’ve already created with the remake of Dead Space and the first installment of The Last of Us.
