Alan Wake 2 headlines the PS Plus Essential games joining the service for October, while The Last of Us Part 2 joins the PS Plus Extra tier.
In between the other big announcements during today’s State of Play presentation, like the release date and gameplay reveal for Saros and our first proper debut of Marvel’s Wolverine, PlayStation took some time to announce the PS Plus Essential games for October, headlined by Remedy Entertainment’s excellent Alan Wake 2. We also learned that The Last of Us Part II will be joining the PS Plus Extra game catalog this coming Friday, September 26, 2025, to arrive in time for The Last of Us Day.
Alan Wake 2 will join the service for PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers on October 7, 2025, and joining alongside it will be the indie puzzle game hit Cocoon, and the physics-based comedy game Goat Simulator 3.
