PlayStation Plus eight free games appear online early

Uh oh. It’s happened again. We’re a couple of days away from the official announcement of October’s PlayStation Plus extra and premium tier line-up but that sneaky billbil-kun has already partially leaked the line-up online.

In recent days, we’ve seen rumours that The Last of Us Part II may be heading to the premium tier, but this is yet to be confirmed. We’d expect it to land on extra, but the game’s featured art has been spotted on premium tier banners in certain territories. In case you missed it, you can now grab October’s essential tier line-up which consists of The Callisto Protocol, Farming Simulator 22, and Weird West. It’s a slight improvement on recent months, with The Callisto Protocol being what I’d class as an ideal PlayStation Plus game - a semi recent release you may not have gotten around to yet. Well, on Wednesday 11 October, we’ll get the full confirmed extra and premium line-up but in the meantime, billbil-kun has leaked eight games we can expect to be included.

Take a look at The Callisto Protocol in action below.

This month, as reported by Dealabs, extra and premium tier subscribers should expect to get their hands on Gotham Knights, The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes, Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, Far: Changing Tides, Gungrave GORE, Elite Dangerous, Dead Island: Definitive Edition, and Alien Isolation. This too feels like an improvement on recent months. Gotham Knights may be a pretty average game, but it’s the kind of average game that so many people are curious to check out.

Alien Isolation is a must-play horror, and Dead Island: Definitive Edition can provide for hours of gore-soaked fun. Personally, my top recommendation would have to be the excellent Disco Elysium: The Final Cut. The RPG tasks you with solving a murdery mystery.

As to billbil-kun’s reliability, the leaker is correct every single month so while I have to advise you take this with a pinch of salt, I fully expect Sony will confirm these titles in a few days time.
