Silent Hill 2 | PS5
After years of anticipation, the remake of Silent Hill 2 finally arrives in the PS Plus Extra catalog. PlayStation 5 players can revisit James Sunderland’s tragedy in a fully modernized version, enhanced by Unreal Engine 5 and a completely reworked sound design for maximum dread. Steady your nerves—the fog has never looked so stunning… or so sinister.
Until Dawn (2024) | PS5
The other big surprise this month is the arrival of Until Dawn in its 2024 remastered edition. Developed by Ballistic Moon, this modernized version of the beloved interactive survival horror joins the PS Plus Extra catalog barely a year after launching on PS5 and PC. Great news for those who missed the terrifying return to Blackwood Mountain, where every choice can mean life or death for the characters. With enhanced visuals, a tense atmosphere, and a branching narrative, this title stands as one of Halloween’s must-plays. Fans of slasher horror movies and morally challenging stories are in for a treat.
As Dusk Falls | PS4, PS5
Formerly an Xbox exclusive, As Dusk Falls finally arrives on PlayStation consoles to win over fans of branching storylines. Developed by Interior Night, this interactive drama immerses players in 1990s Arizona, where the fates of two families intertwine through a series of tragic events. Every decision shapes the story, exploring powerful themes like guilt, redemption, and the scars of the past. Thanks to its distinctive art direction and emotionally charged writing, the game delivers a unique narrative experience—somewhere between a TV series and a graphic novel.
V Rising | PS5
V Rising is an action-survival game that casts you as a vampire lord awakening from a long slumber. Your mission? Rebuild your castle, conquer new lands, and quench your thirst for blood in a merciless open world. Developed by Stunlock Studios, the game blends crafting, exploration, and fast-paced combat within a gorgeously gothic atmosphere. Playable solo or in co-op, V Rising delivers a deeply strategic and addictive experience—perfect for those long, eerie October nights.
PS Plus Premium: Tekken 3 and Tomb Raider Anniversary Rise Again
Premium subscribers aren’t left out either. This October, they’ll be treated to two legendary PlayStation classics: Tekken 3 and Tomb Raider Anniversary. First showcased during the September 2024 State of Play, both titles officially join the Classics Catalog on October 21.
With this October 2025 lineup, Sony reaffirms its commitment to offering subscribers a diverse, high-quality library. Between Halloween chills, 90s nostalgia, and powerful storytelling, there’s truly something for everyone. The perfect way to pass the time—and get a few well-deserved scares—while waiting for the next big announcement.
