PlayStation Plus subscribers have five more games to check out this October. Sony has expanded its Extra and Premium game catalogs with a mix of big-budget adventures, a new co-op shooter, and two classic titles for players who enjoy older games.
The latest additions include Horizon Forbidden West and Mafia: The Old Country, giving subscribers two very different adventures to jump into. There is also Mycopunk, a co-op shooter, alongside two retro-inspired additions for Premium members.
The new games became available on October 20, 2026, although the rollout schedule differs between regions. Here is a look at all five games, which PS Plus tiers include them, and which ones you should try first.
All 5 New PlayStation Plus Games for October 2026
Here is the complete list of games included in the latest update.
| Game | PS Plus Tier | Platforms |
|---|---|---|
| Horizon Forbidden West | Extra and Premium | PS4, PS5 |
| Mafia: The Old Country | Extra and Premium | PS5 |
| Mycopunk | Extra and Premium | PS5 |
| Dino Crisis 2 | Premium | PS4, PS5 |
| RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition | Premium | PS4, PS5 |
The first three games are available to both Extra and Premium subscribers. The final two are part of the Premium Classics catalog.
Keep in mind that PlayStation Plus game availability can vary by region. Check the PlayStation Store on your console to see which titles are available with your subscription.
Horizon Forbidden West Is the Biggest Addition
If you enjoy open-world games, Horizon Forbidden West is a great place to start. The game follows Aloy as she travels into a dangerous region filled with mechanical creatures, unfamiliar tribes, and threats that could destroy what remains of humanity.
You will explore a large world, hunt machines, collect resources, and uncover secrets connected to the ancient civilization that existed before the game's events. Combat involves using different weapons and exploiting the weaknesses of your mechanical enemies.
The game is a sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn, so playing the first entry beforehand will help you understand the characters and story. However, newcomers can still enjoy its exploration and combat.
Originally released in 2022, Horizon Forbidden West is available on both PS4 and PS5 through the October PS Plus catalog update.
Once you finish the main adventure, you can also continue Aloy's story in the Burning Shores expansion, which is sold separately unless you own an edition that includes it.
Mafia: The Old Country Brings a Classic Gangster Story
For players who prefer crime dramas over open-world exploration, Mafia: The Old Country is another major addition.
The game takes place in Sicily during the early 1900s and follows Enzo Favara as he becomes involved with the Torrisi crime family. His journey explores the dangerous world of organized crime, where loyalty, power, and family ties can have serious consequences.
Unlike games that offer a huge open world filled with side activities, Mafia: The Old Country focuses more closely on its story. Its third-person gameplay combines shooting, stealth, and cinematic sequences.
Another advantage is that this is a prequel to the wider Mafia series. You do not need to finish the previous games to understand Enzo's story.
If you enjoy classic gangster films or story-driven action games, this is one of the most interesting additions in October's lineup.
Mycopunk Is Worth Trying With Friends
Mycopunk offers something different from the two major story-driven games. It is a fast-paced, mission-based looter shooter in which players fight strange fungal enemies using an assortment of futuristic weapons.
The game supports cooperative play for up to four players. You can also customize your equipment with a wide selection of upgrades, giving you plenty of ways to experiment with different builds.
Its colorful presentation and unusual enemies make it stand out from more realistic shooters. If you have friends who also subscribe to PS Plus Extra or Premium, this could be a good game to try together.
Another reason to check it out is that Mycopunk joins the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on its release day, making it a day-one addition to the service.
Two Classic Games Join PS Plus Premium
Premium subscribers also receive two older titles this month: Dino Crisis 2 and RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition.
Dino Crisis 2
Originally released for the original PlayStation in 2000, Dino Crisis 2 takes a more action-focused approach than its survival-horror predecessor.
The game follows Regina and Dylan as they face dangerous dinosaurs and try to survive the events surrounding a mysterious research disaster. Instead of relying entirely on slow exploration and horror, the sequel puts more emphasis on combat and taking down large numbers of enemies.
The version included in the PS Plus Classics catalog also offers modern convenience features such as quick saves, gameplay rewind, and screen filters.
Players who enjoy classic PlayStation games or dinosaur-themed action should give it a look.
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition
If you would rather build something than fight enemies, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition offers a different kind of experience.
You are responsible for creating and managing your own amusement park. That means designing roller coasters, placing attractions, managing staff, and keeping visitors happy while making enough money to keep the business running.
The game also includes a sandbox mode, allowing you to experiment with park designs without worrying as much about your finances.
It is a nice change of pace from the action-heavy games in this month's lineup and should appeal to players who enjoy management and simulation games.
How to Access the New PS Plus Games
You do not need to purchase these games individually if they are included in your subscription tier and available in your region.
Follow these steps to find them:
- Turn on your PS4 or PS5 and sign in to your PlayStation Network account.
- Open the PlayStation Plus section from the console's home screen.
- Navigate to the Game Catalog or Classics Catalog, depending on the title.
- Search for the game you want to play.
- Select the game and choose the option to add it to your library or download it.
Make sure your subscription is active and includes the required tier. Extra games require a PS Plus Extra or Premium subscription, while the two Classics titles require Premium.
Final Thoughts
October's latest PlayStation Plus additions offer a good mix of games for different types of players. Horizon Forbidden West is the standout choice for open-world fans, while Mafia: The Old Country offers a more focused story about life inside a criminal organization.
Mycopunk adds some cooperative action, and Premium subscribers get two older games that bring something different to the service.
If you already have PS Plus Extra or Premium, it is worth checking the catalog before spending money on any of these titles separately. Just remember that access depends on your subscription tier and regional availability.
