The PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium games for October 2024 are set to be announced soon. It's a busy month for PS5 and PS4 game releases, so it looks like Sony's going to have to knock it out of the park to bring in some PS Plus attention! Here are our predictions on how the company might do just that by adding some of the best PS Plus games around.

PS Plus Extra and Premium games lineup for October 2024 includes Dead Island 2

  • This month's PS Plus Extra and Premium games will be available on Tuesday, October 22, 2024
  • PS Plus Extra is adding Dead Island 2 for PS5 and PS4
  • PS Plus Premium is adding horror classic Siren and the beloved PS1 game Dino Crisis
The PS Plus Extra and Premium games for PS5 and PS4 have been announced and are now lined up for release on Tuesday, October 15, 2024. PS Plus Extra has 10 games on the way, including highlights like Dead Island 2, Dino Crisis, and Return to Monkey Island.

This time around for October we are getting a few scary games to ring in Halloween, though none of them are the best PS5 horror games! The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me is well worth the trip! In PS Plus Premium, we've got four games including PS2's own Siren to freak us out alongside the classic PS1 title Dino Crisis.

PS Plus Extra Highlight —

Dead Island 2

So, it's time for Dead Island 2 to hit PS Plus Extra! Didn't it feel inevitable? Widely regarded as one of the best games in early 2023 for PS5 last year, this release is coming in time with its new Neighbourhood Watch co-op mode. The promise of everyone having easy access to the game and the co-op is going to tempt the hoards, I know it!

It's also just a really strong open-world game. It's not going to blow your socks off, but comfortable junk food and more than entertaining enough. With a charming sense of violence and a bright aesthetic that doesn't make you want to vomit, Dead Island 2 is an easy PS Plus highlight of the month!

More horror please!

Last year, PS Plus Extra was inundated with horror games to play, including other excellent Dark Pictures Anthology games and Alien Isolation. This year, as Halloween approaches once more, it would've been nice to see Sony do more treating us to horror than tricking us into thinking it's any other month of the year.

It's not a deal breaker, but with more Resident Evil games creeping into PS Plus Extra this year it would've been nice if we could also get Resident Evil Village in there. Other big titles that are underplayed, like Amnesia The Bunker, could have been real hits on the subscription too!

PS Plus Premium's lineup is great

  • Hopefully some better Siren trophies will come to PS Plus Premium!
  • Tier: PS Plus Premium
We already knew that PS Plus Premium would add two PS1 games in 2024: PS1 classics Dino Crisis and Blood Omen Legacy of Kain. Blood Omen will probably come in December 2024 to tie it into the launch of the Soul Reaver remasters on PS5.

I mean, that Capcom PS1 title is a bonafide classic. The re-release of the PS2 classic horror game Siren on PS5 and PS4 is a great capstone. Now, Siren is already available on PS Plus Premium, but this new version should have the new rewind features and a platinum trophy to unlock. I'll be giving this creepy PS2 game a shot!

What do you think of the PS5 and PS4 games on PS Plus Extra and Premium in October 2024? Are you holding out for more PS2 games on PS5 to join the Premium subscription tier? Let us know in the comments below!
