PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers now have the final additions scheduled for October 2026. The October 27 update brings a horror game, an action RPG package and a motocross racer, giving players a clear choice between a quick seasonal scare, a lengthy single-player adventure or multiplayer competition.
What changed in the final October update
Sony has added three games to the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium catalog: Poppy Playtime: Chapter 2, Tales of Arise – Beyond the Dawn Edition, and Monster Energy Supercross 25 – The Official Video Game. Their arrival completes the service’s October rollout for the two higher membership tiers. Each title is entering the catalog for the first time, according to the announced lineup.
The update continues Sony’s staggered release approach, which has generally delivered several catalog drops per month since June. October finishes with three waves, following a busier September that featured ten games across four separate updates. Across the month, Extra and Premium received nine new catalog titles in total.
Which game fits your subscription plans
Poppy Playtime: Chapter 2 is available on both PS5 and PS4 and is the most seasonally fitting pick for Halloween-week players looking for horror. Tales of Arise – Beyond the Dawn Edition is also available on PS5 and PS4, offering subscribers the base RPG alongside its Beyond the Dawn content package.
Monster Energy Supercross 25 is a PS5-only addition and carries the highest regular price of the three at $59.99. It is also the only new arrival with multiplayer options. Players can use two-player couch co-op, local PvP, and online modes that support up to 16 participants. That makes it the strongest match for groups that want competitive play rather than a solo campaign.
What comes next for PS Plus members
October’s catalog additions are separate from the PS Plus monthly games that became available on October 6. F1 25, Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2, and Hunt: Showdown 1896 remain claimable until November 2, either individually or as a complete set.
Sony has not yet formally announced November’s Essential lineup in the supplied information, but its regular announcement pattern points to October 28 as the likely reveal date. The same schedule suggests the next monthly games could be available from November 3 through November 30. Players who have not claimed October’s monthly games should do so before the November deadline, while Extra and Premium members can decide whether the final catalog drop is worth downloading now.

Expert View
This is a practical final wave rather than a headline-grabbing one. Tales of Arise offers the broadest value for RPG players, while Supercross 25 gives the update its social and competitive angle. Poppy Playtime: Chapter 2 is a timely bonus for horror fans, but subscribers already satisfied with October’s earlier releases may reasonably wait for November’s Essential announcement.
