PS Plus October 2021: All games revealed for PS4 and PS5
PlayStation A new batch of free games is coming to PlayStation Plus subscribers very soon with PS Plus October, but what does this month have in store for avid PlayStation fans?
PlayStation and Xbox have been in a head-to-head battle to see who can provide the best subscription service in terms of free games. While Xbox Game Pass has now merged with EA Play (leading to a sharp drop-off for Games With Gold, some would say), PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now both keep offering high-quality titles.
With every passing month comes a whole new collection of titles, all of which are available to players for the cost of a PS Plus membership. So, without further ado, here’s everything we know about this month’s free games.

When will PS Plus games for October be officially announced?
PlayStation Now updates may drop on the PlayStation Blog out of nowhere at the start of a new month, but PlayStation Plus is much more consistent.
That’s because most of the time, the games are revealed on the last Wednesday of the month at 8:30AM PST / 11:30AM EST / 4:30PM BST / 5:30PM CEST. This month, expect an announcement on September 29.
They’re then made available on the first Tuesday of the month, so expect October’s games on Tuesday, October 5.
