As October rolls around, it’s the perfect time to immerse yourself in horror movies and video games to get into a spooky mood. Fortunately, the latest additions to PS Plus make it easy to embrace this vibe. Additionally, a wrestling game has been added to PlayStation Plus Essential just in time for the year’s last major WWE events. With that in mind, here are three games that PS Plus subscribers should definitely check out this weekend.
The Last of Us Part I
The Last of Us is a classic in the horror genre, known for its groundbreaking narrative following Joel and Ellie. Originally released for PS3 in 2013 and remastered for PS4 in 2014, The Last of Us Part I has now been remade for PS5. This remake offers enhanced visuals, accessibility features, and an overall upgraded gaming experience, aligning it more closely with its 2020 sequel. If you haven’t experienced The Last of Us yet, now is the perfect time to dive into the definitive version available on PS Plus.
The Last of Us Part I is accessible to PlayStation Plus Extra subscribers on PS5 and PC.
Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!
Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! may seem like a typical visual romance novel at first, but it quickly reveals itself as a horror game with unsettling elements and frequent fourth-wall breaks. Originally viral on platforms like YouTube after its 2017 PC launch, the game arrived on consoles in 2021 with additional content. It’s a perfect pick for early October, bridging the gap between back-to-school vibes and Halloween.
The PS4 and PS5 versions of Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! are currently PlayStation Plus Essential games until November 4, and are also available on PC, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
WWE 2K24
For wrestling enthusiasts looking for some light-hearted fun, WWE 2K24 is a great choice. The latest installment in the annual wrestling series from 2K, this game offers incremental improvements over its predecessors, enhancing modes like MyGM and core wrestling gameplay. If you’re a wrestling fan and haven’t tried out WWE 2K24 yet, it’s a perfect way to spend your gaming weekend, especially with the Bad Blood event around the corner.
The PS4 and PS5 versions of WWE 2K24 are currently available through PS Plus Essential until November 4, and are also accessible on PC and Xbox consoles.
