PS Plus Extra and Deluxe subscribers will get a handful of free games to explore in the month of October, as part of Sony’s Game Catalog. Just like Xbox Game Pass, Sony updates the PlayStation Game Catalog with free titles every month, from in-house as well as third-party publishers. Grand Theft Auto has a reason to rejoice as the remastered version of one of the series’ most loved titles will be available for free in October. Users will also get access to a handful of Assassin’s Creed games, as well as the side-scrolling gem, Inside. 

It should be noted that the PS Game Catalog will be updated with the new free titles on October 18. Just like Xbox Game Pass, some earlier titles will be removed from the library as well, including the likes of Red Dead Redemption and SOMA. 

PS Plus Essential users will not be able to access the newly announced free games. However, they will still have access to October’s Essential free games lineup, which includes Hot Wheels Unleashed, Injustice 2, and Superhot.
