Which games could be included in PS Plus for PS4 and PS5 in October 2021? Here are the rumors and hopes circulating in the PlayStation community.
September is slowly coming to an end, and discussions among PlayStation players begin about which games will be available for free in October through PS Plus subscription. Keen-eyed fans have noticed a peculiarity in the PSN. Currently, some players hope that a new shooter hit will be available for free on PS5.
Celeb Shooter is Hotly Discussed as a PS5 Game in PS Plus
This is the shooter in question: Some speculate that one of the next Plus games will be Hell Let Loose.
It is a tactical first-person shooter set in World War II. Matches are played with 50vs50 in Capture and Control modes. The game has already launched on Steam and is rated “very positive” (85%). It will also be available for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on October 5.
Interestingly, Hell Let Loose is currently available for pre-order on Xbox Series X/S, but not for PS5. There, only the beta of the game is found, and that 2 weeks before the release.
On Microsoft consoles, the beta was not available at all. Therefore, fans speculate that Sony may have made a deal with the developers to keep the beta exclusive to PS5 and then release Hell Let Loose as a Plus game directly.
Additionally, the game’s release on October 5 coincides with the estimated date when the new Plus games will be available for download in October.
While the arguments may sound plausible, it remains speculation. Enjoy the information with caution.
What other free games for PS4/PS5 are being discussed for October?
What else is being hoped for? Besides Hell Let Loose, there are several other games that will also celebrate their release on October 5 and are considered potential Plus candidates by fans. These include:
- Alan Wake Remastered: The beloved horror game from Remedy originally launched on Microsoft consoles and PC and is now making its debut on PlayStation.
- Jett: The Far Shore: In this game, you take control of an aircraft with which you explore an ocean planet and uncover its secrets.
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania has also been mentioned as a possibility, with its release taking place on October 1.
Furthermore, hopes continue to flicker that Sony might bring their hit Horizon: Zero Dawn as a PS Plus game, but there are no signs for that.
This is what a potential lineup currently looks like:
| Free Game at PS Plus in October | Platform |
| Hell Let Loose | PS5 |
| Alan Wake Remastered | PS4 |
| Jett: The Far Shore | PS4 |
