PS Plus free games: October 2024 list detailed with new PS5 titles
The PlayStation Plus free games for October 2024 include WWE 2K24, Dead Space, and Doki Doki Literature Club Plus
Three free PS Plus games – WWE 2K24, Dead Space, and Doki Doki Literature Club Plus – are now available to download for PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers. You can add these games to your library for free if you’re subscribed to Sony’s PS Plus Essential, PS Plus Premium, or PS Plus Extra service. Don’t forget to grab them before Monday, November 4; otherwise, you’ll miss out.
Don’t have PS Plus? Want to stop paying full price? Our PlayStation Plus discount code knocks off $10 versus what Sony charges.
PS Plus free games October 2024
WWE 2K24 (PS5, PS4)
Dead Space (PS5)
Doki Doki Literature Club Plus (PS5, PS4)
WWE 2K24
Lay the smackdown in WWE 2K24, which includes all-new match types, the superstars you know and love, and a celebration of 40 years of Wrestlemania. Recreate iconic, career-defining matches and so much more.
Dead Space
An impressive remake of the sci-fi survival horror game, Dead Space sees you play as the engineer Isaac Clarke. While investigating the USG Ishimura, things quickly turn into a nightmare as Isaac encounters horrific creatures called Necromorphs. Alone and armed only with his engineering tools and skills, it’s up to Isaac to uncover the mystery of what happened and try to escape with his life intact.
Doki Doki Literature Club Plus
It may look like a cutesy anime game, but Doki Doki Literature Club is actually a psychological horror game – believe it or not. Join a literature club as you search for a romantic interest and unfold the horrors of school romance.
About downloading PS Plus free games
You can download all three PlayStation games – and if you run out of storage space on the internal SSD, check out The Shortcut’s expert PS5 SSD upgrade how-to guide and best SSD for PS5.
With the introduction of the PS Plus free games for October, the free PS Plus games for September 2024 no longer became available from October 6 (if you added them to your PlayStation games library before the cut-off date, you can continue to play them, don’t worry). Note: these PS Plus games don’t have to be downloaded; just add them to your PlayStation games library before they expire from the PlayStation Store.
The primary reason to get a PS Plus membership is online multiplayer, but these ‘free games’ have rounded out the value of Sony’s online service. It helps PlayStation Plus compete with Microsoft’s more robust offering (see our Xbox Game Pass Ultimate review and save $20 with our Xbox Game Pass discount code) which has become a Netflix-like on-demand gaming service. That’s why PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now have merged to form PlayStation Plus Premium, PlayStation Plus Extra, and PlayStation Plus Essential.
How to get the PS Plus free games
Get PlayStation Plus through this discount code to save $10 (you can’t stack multiple years anymore, but your pre-paid code won’t expire if you find the deal tempting. You’ll be able to turn off auto-renew and redeem it when it does expire
Go to the PlayStation Plus tab on the PlayStation Store on your console
Add each of the four games to your library (you don’t have to download them but you do need to add them to your library)
You can also download them by logging into the PlayStation Store through the web and adding them to your library that way (it will be faster for some people)
You’ll be able to add the three PlayStation Plus free games for October 2024 to your library until November 4. On that date, new games will take over, and you’ll lose your chance to add these games to your PlayStation library. Adding the PS Plus games to your library doesn’t require downloading them and therefore doesn’t take up any hard drive or PS5 SSD storage space.
Why you shouldn’t wait on PS Plus free games
Should you buy PlayStation Plus today for these games? While online multiplayer is essential for some people, the free games for $60 a year MSRP (but $45 a year with a PlayStation Plus discount code) seems like good value if you play PS5 (if you don’t have a console yet, check out the Target PS5, and Amazon PS5 restock guides along with the Sony Direct queue guide). This is despite the fact you don’t know if the PS Plus free games will be any good month-to-month.
But here’s why you should get them right away: You won’t be able to add the October 2024 free PS Plus games to your library after November 4. So my expert advice is that if you don’t have a PlayStation Plus membership, get it today or before the end of the month to claim all of the PlayStation games this month and the next, and for the following ten months.
Can I keep PS Plus free games forever?
As long as you’re subscribed to PlayStation Plus, you can continue playing any free games added to your library. If you cancel your PS Plus subscription, all of the PS Plus free games and DLC become inaccessible.

There is a caveat: if you resubscribe to PlayStation Plus at any point, the free games added to your library will become playable again. So it’s worth getting PlayStation Plus if the free game is to your liking and start accumulating a nice collection.

Are PSVR 2 games ever part of the PS Plus free games list?
Sony has released PSVR games as part of its PS Plus free games membership perk before, but we haven’t seen PSVR 2 games in the lineup in 2023. It may offer free PSVR 2 games in the future, however, especially as Meta has launched its own subscription service called Meta Quest+.
