October 2025’s PS Plus Game Catalog goes for the jugular, packing horror heavy-hitters alongside immersive standouts—from the nightmarish depths of Silent Hill 2 to Ichiban Kasuga’s rise in Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

PlayStation is leaning hard into spooky season. The October 2025 PS Plus Game Catalog is basically a haunted house tour, with two big 2024 horror remakes, a vampire survival obsession, and a killer-toy factory lurking in the dark. If horror is not your thing, you still get a palate cleanser or two: an all-timer Yakuza entry and, yes, Tekken 3 in upscaled form. Everything below lands October 21 for PS Plus Extra and Premium, except Tekken 3, which is Premium-only.

  • Silent Hill 2 (PS5) — Extra/Premium — October 21
  • Until Dawn (PS5) — Extra/Premium — October 21
  • V Rising (PS5) — Extra/Premium — October 21
  • Yakuza: Like a Dragon (PS4, PS5) — Extra/Premium — October 21
  • Poppy Playtime: Chapter 1 (PS4, PS5) — Extra/Premium — October 21
  • As Dusk Falls (PS4, PS5) — Extra/Premium — October 21
  • Wizard with a Gun (PS5) — Extra/Premium — October 21
  • Tekken 3 (PS4, PS5) — Premium (Classics) — October 21

Silent Hill 2 (PS5)

Bloober Team’s 2024 remake of Konami’s 2001 psychological gut-punch finally hits the catalog. You play as James Sunderland, drawn back to the fog-choked town by a letter from his wife Mary… who is dead, which is a pretty bad sign. The remake pushes atmosphere and dread with modern visuals, unnerving audio, new performances, and other added touches. Akira Yamaoka’s iconic score still does a lot of damage. If you want something that gnaws at you long after you put the controller down, this is your Halloween pick. Original remake release: October 8, 2024.

Until Dawn (PS5)

The 2015 crowd-pleaser gets a 2024 rebuild from Ballistic Moon, now running on Unreal Engine 5 with sharper lighting and a cleaner feel all around. The setup remains deliciously mean: eight friends return to a snowed-in mountain lodge a year after two of their own vanished, and every choice you make can get someone saved or very, very dead. It plays like a bloody slasher movie you direct, with a cast that sells the panic. Original remake release: October 4, 2024.

V Rising (PS5)

Wake up as a vampire, remember you hate sunlight, and start building your gothic fixer-upper. Stunlock Studios’ survival action RPG lets you hunt for blood, craft gear, expand your castle, and even enthrall humans to keep your operation running. Go solo, co-op with friends, or raid other players’ strongholds if you like your immortality messy. Time your runs for night unless you enjoy bursting into flames. PS5 release: May 8, 2024.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon (PS4, PS5)

Ichiban Kasuga spends 18 years behind bars for a crime he did not commit, walks out expecting loyalty, and finds out the world moved on without him — and not kindly. RGG Studio flips the series into turn-based chaos with a party of lovable misfits, a Yokohama packed with side quests and distractions, and combat that encourages turning whatever you find on the street into a weapon. If you have never met Ichiban, this is a great place to start. Original release: November 10, 2020.

Poppy Playtime: Chapter 1 (PS4, PS5)

Short, punchy, and extremely not child-safe. You explore the abandoned Playtime Co. toy factory to figure out why everyone vanished. Your GrabPack — part stretchy hands, part electrician kit — lets you reach, yank, and route power through puzzles while things with smiles hunt you in the halls. It is a tight first chapter with a couple of nasty surprises, including a very tall blue mascot who is not a hugger. PS release: December 20, 2023.

As Dusk Falls (PS4, PS5)

A branching crime drama told with a painterly, stop-motion style that actually works once you settle into it. Two families collide after a botched robbery in Arizona in 1998, and the fallout keeps echoing across decades. It is choice-driven to the bone and built for debate — you can play couch or online co-op with up to 8 people and argue your way through every fork, then replay to see how badly your first instincts betrayed you. PS release: March 7, 2024. If you are allergic to visual novels, just know this one is that, but with teeth.

Wizard with a Gun (PS5)

The title says it. This is a co-op survival romp in a magical sandbox where you gather resources, craft wild ammo types, and experiment with spell-infused firearms across randomized biomes. Dress your wizard however you like, tweak your loadout, and decide whether you want to be cautious, chaotic, or both. It is light, weird, and very flexible about playstyle. Original release: October 17, 2023.

Tekken 3 (PS4, PS5) — Premium Classics

Yes, that Tekken 3. The PS Plus Premium version is upscaled and adds modern comforts like enhanced rendering, rewind, and quick save. Story-wise, fighters are vanishing around the world, Heihachi Mishima sets up The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 to bait out the entity behind it, and the roster introduces heavy hitters like Jin Kazama and Bryan Fury. Expect returning staples like Arcade Mode and Team Battle, plus new intro and ending cinematics for the full cast in this release. Original release: March 26, 1998.

Stacked month. What are you firing up first on October 21 — fog, fangs, or a steel bat to the underworld?
