Leaves are falling from the trees, and Halloween is a few weeks away. To celebrate the upcoming festival of ghouls and goblins, Sony is releasing a game certain to make you quake in your boots – as well as two other random titles. And so, here is the PlayStation Plus free games October 2024 line-up, available for download on Tuesday, October 1.
First, for the PS5, there is the Dead Space remake. Developed by Motive Studio and released in 2023, the game is a remake of the 2008 Dead Space on the PS3, back when trophies were still a novelty. Play as Isaac Clarke as he battles an array of alien monsters while he fights with his own internal demons. This remake features various changes including voice lines from the main character, more gore, and a few other surprises.
Next, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Doki Doki Literature Club Plus, a visual novel developed by Team Salvato and first released in 2017. Play as the protagonist who reluctantly joins a high school literature club, get to know the members, and woo one of them into becoming your girlfriend, while surviving the surprising horror elements (yes, horror) within the story.
Lastly, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s WWE 2K24, the professional wrestling game by Visual Concepts, and the 24th installment in the overall series. The game includes both arcade and simulation gameplay, gimmick matches, and online multiplayer.
All three titles in the PlayStation Plus free games October 2024 line-up have platinum trophies to unlock.
Among them, Doki Doki Literature Club Plus is by far the quickest and easiest platinum to obtain. Since this is a visual novel, the platinum can be nabbed in about 10-15 hours with a guide, depending on how quick you can read.
Unlocking the platinum for WWE 2K24 is arguably average in difficulty, though will require over 50 hours of gameplay. It should be noted that there are 13 online trophies to obtain, and it has been reported to be difficult in finding online players – which means you may need to find a boosting partner. Also, it has already been announced that the online servers for WWE 2K24 will shut down on September 30, 2025. After which, the 13 online trophies, and therefore the platinum, will become unobtainable.
Lastly, unlocking the platinum for the Dead Space remake can be fairly challenging, especially if it is your first time to play. Though it is possible to unlock the platinum in two playthroughs, it is recommended to do it in three. Expect roughly 30-35 hours of gameplay for this one.
