PlayStation Plus October games lineup includes GTA and Dragon Quest

PlayStation Plus games for October go all-in on RPGs and globe-trotting experiences, but skimp on the promised classics

Sony announced the PlayStation Plus October 2022 lineup in a new PlayStation Blog post, with over a dozen games available for subscribers at the basic tier and a small selection for PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers. The Premium games for October 2022 are all recent titles, though, with two PS3 games, a handful of PS4 picks, and none of the PS1 and PS2 classics Sony originally promised when the subscription service’s tiered structure debuted earlier in 2022.

The highlights include GTA Vice City – Definitive Edition, which released only a year ago, albeit in a very buggy, compromised form, and Dragon Quest XI. This version of DQXI includes all the extra features from the Nintendo Switch port, such as extra chapters for each character.

This month’s selection will go live on Oct. 18, 2022. PS Plus subscribers at the Extra level – the $14.99 per month tier – get these games:

  • Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition
  • Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – Definitive Edition
  • Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
  • The Medium
  • Inside
  • Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker
  • Assassin’s Creed Chronicles (includes China, Russia, and India)
  • Assassin’s Creed Syndicate
  • Assassin’s Creed 3 Remastered
  • Hohokum
  • Dragon Quest Builders
  • Dragon Quest Builders 2
  • Dragon Quest Heroes and Dragon Quest Heroes 2

Premium subscribers get a bundle of Yakuza games, on their home system just as RGG apparently intended:

  • Yakuza 3 Remastered
  • Yakuza 4 Remastered
  • Yakuza 5 Remastered
  • Limbo
  • Ultimate Street Fighter IV
  • Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (PS3)
  • Everyday Shooter (PS3)

All games downloaded during this period will remain in your library so long as your PS Plus subscription stays active.
