Sony is gearing up to unveil the much-anticipated selections for its PS Plus Extra and Premium services for October 2024, with an official announcement expected at 4:30 PM BST on October 9. Set your reminders! Fans of PlayStation 4 and 5 will soon be able to download and dive into new titles starting from October 15, just in time for the Halloween festivities.

Based on recent updates from Sony's September State of Play event, exciting additions are on the horizon for those subscribed to PS Plus Premium. Classics like Dino Crisis and Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain will soon find their place in the Classics Catalog, enticing nostalgia for long-time gamers.

But what will be included in the PS Plus Extra lineup? Predictions are running wild online, particularly on platforms like Reddit. A frontrunner for the October offerings is none other than Resident Evil Village. This fan-favorite horror title not only aligns perfectly with the spooky season, but it also makes sense with a sequel reportedly in development. The presence of previous Resident Evil titles on PS Plus only heightens the anticipation for this inclusion.

Additionally, players are speculating a broader array of horror-themed titles to join the roster. Potential candidates include the action-packed Dead Island 2, chillingly engaging The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me, the nerve-wracking Outlast Trials, and the atmospheric Blasphemous 2.

Another title getting buzz is Scorn, a first-person horror game that recently made its exit from Xbox Game Pass, coupled with Atomic Heart that’s also fresh off the Game Pass roster. These additions could reignite interest in the horror genre among PlayStation users.

A notable mention is the critically-acclaimed Lies of P, which draws inspiration from the gothic thrills of Bloodborne, that launched roughly a year ago. While some speculate it may be premature for this title to appear in PS Plus, it could serve as an enticing teaser leading up to its upcoming DLC.

Other intriguing titles circulating in the rumor mill range from Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and the brain-bending Twelve Minutes, to cinematic adventures like Final Fantasy 16, engaging puzzles in Viewfinder, and action-driven experiences with RoboCop: Rogue City, Jusant, and Lords of the Fallen.

Classic franchises like Sonic Frontiers and high-octane games such as Forspoken and the much-discussed Suicide Squad are also on players’ radars. The latter has seen some rough waters since launching its third season, so a PS Plus feature could offer the boost it desperately needs.

Don't miss out! As we eagerly await the official announcements, expect constant updates filled with news, leaks, and games that will help shape your October gaming experience. Mark your calendars and get ready for a Halloween filled with fear, fun, and fantastic gaming!
