During last night’s State of Play, amidst all the surprises of Ghost of Yotei, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered and Astro Bot free DLC, Sony revealed October’s line-up of free games. And October’s line-up isn’t actually too bad.
For October, we will get WWE2K24, Dead Space and Doki Doki Literature Club Plus. I’m glad Dead Space has arrived on PS Plus, I’ve been wanting to play it for a while, and now I can, for free.
The free games launch on October 1st and you’ll be able to download them or add them to your library whether you’re on Essential, Extra or Premium.
