Disco Elysium, Gotham Knights, and The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes will be added to the PS Plus tiers on Oct. 17 — plus PS5 streaming on Premium.
PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers get their monthly dose of new games on Oct. 17, and while there is one acclaimed masterpiece of a role-playing game on the list (no, it’s not Baldur’s Gate 3, sadly), the expected addition of The Last of Us Part 2 has not come to pass. PlayStation 5 game streaming will also launch for Premium subscribers later in the month.
Rumors that The Last of Us Part 2 would be added to the higher Plus tiers began to swirl when artwork for the game was added to some PlayStation Plus promotional banners on the PlayStation Store. But it is not to be — at least not yet.
Instead, the highlight of this month’s selection is probably Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, the definitive edition of ZA/UM’s cult detective RPG, which explores the political and philosophical shadows of a failing regime. It’s a game of totally unexpected possibilities and real role-playing freedom that’s well worth exploring in the wake of Larian’s big hit.
If you’d rather turn your brain off and enjoy some blockbuster filler, then you could do worse (but you could also probably do better) than Gotham Knights, the Bat-family action romp starring Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood, and Robin.
