Sony revealed its lineup for the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, bringing cinematic action-adventure games to Extra and Premium subscribers in October 2026. The drop introduces recent releases alongside classic titles, headlined by the narrative prequel Mafia: The Old Country. Subscribers gain access to games distributed across staggered release dates throughout the month, according to Headliner.nl. While early additions lean toward lighter horror themes, the major wave hits mid-month on October 20, 2026.

Full Schedule of October 2026 Additions
The catalog additions roll out across three distinct dates in October 2026 for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members.
* Available Immediately: The Midnight Walk arrives on PS5 as an early October release.
* Releases on October 20, 2026: Mafia: The Old Country (PS5), Horizon Forbidden West (PS5, PS4), Mycopunk (PS5), Dino Crisis 2 (PS5, PS4 – PlayStation Premium), and RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition (PS5, PS4 – PlayStation Premium).
* Releases on October 27, 2026: Poppy Playtime: Chapter 2 (PS5, PS4), Tales of Arise – Beyond the Dawn Edition (PS5, PS4), and Monster Energy Supercross 25 – The Official Video Game (PS5).
Essential tier subscribers do not receive access to the Game Catalog titles, and downloaded games become unavailable if the subscription lapses, Headliner.nl noted.
Contrasting Core Additions and Platform Debuts
The October drop pairs massive first-party open-world titles with recent additions and fresh platform launches. IGN Benelux highlighted Horizon Forbidden West, pointing out that the Guerrilla action-RPG sequel earned a 10/10 rating upon its original release, making it one of the most respected first-party games on the PS5. In contrast, Mycopunk transitions from PC to console. The co-op looter-shooter originally launched in Early Access on PC on July 10, 2025. Its October 20 arrival on PS5 and PlayStation Plus coincides with its departure from Early Access after over a year of player feedback integration. Alongside the core games, Sony introduces Halloween-themed extras for subscribers. These additions include new Game Trials, HorrorFest Packs, a Dead by Daylight Community Challenge 2 Plus Exclusive Pack, and discounts on select horror films.
