A total of eight new games have been confirmed for this month’s PS Plus Extra and Premium update, and it’s actually a very fitting selection for what is unquestionably the spookiest time of the year. Break out the distant screams and tormented cackling whenever you’re ready…
October’s Extra lineup is full of horrible outings, starting with the critically acclaimed Silent Hill 2. Developer Bloober Team won a lot of people over with this full-on remake of the Konami classic, and it’s a perfect pick for Halloween weekend, if you’ve got the time.
The PS5 version of Until Dawn isn’t a bad choice either, although some fans will tell you that it’s actually an inferior port because of odd changes to character models and lighting effects. Still, if you’ve never played this one before, it’s worth a look for the sheer shlock.
Beyond that, V Rising is an addictive action RPG with survival crafting elements, and Yakuza: Like a Dragon is… well, it’s certainly not a horror title, but it is a damn good time. This was the series’ first foray into proper RPG territory, and it’s one hell of a ride.
Meanwhile, Premium subscribers are once again being asked to be happy with just one game — but at least that one game is an absolute banger. A title that truly helped define the PS1, Tekken 3 is still a classic, and worth checking out for the vibes alone.

Robert (or Rob if you’re lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he’s played ’em all. A little too much, some might say.
