The story in short

Sony announced the PlayStation Plus October 2026 catalog, adding Mafia: The Old Country, Horizon Forbidden West, Mycopunk and three free games for all subscribers.

Sony confirmed the PlayStation Plus October 2026 lineup on 14 October 2026, adding a mix of new releases and three free titles for all members.

What we know

According to the PlayStation Blog, the October catalog launches with Mafia: The Old Country, a prequel set in early‑20th‑century Sicily, alongside Horizon Forbidden West and the co‑op shooter Mycopunk. The official blog notes the games are “available day one into October’s PlayStation Plus.” IGN and Polygon echo the same titles, confirming the lineup for both Extra and Premium tiers.

GameSpot adds that three additional games—F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2—are free for all PS Plus members, but must be claimed by 2 November.

Push Square reported that the service will also see its first removal for the upcoming month: GTA 5 will leave the Extra tier on 17 November, just before the expected launch of GTA 6.

Why it matters for gamers

The inclusion of Mafia: The Old Country gives fans a fresh narrative entry without the long‑term commitment of a full‑priced launch. Its “great story and solid action gameplay,” as GameSpot describes, makes it a weekend‑friendly option.

Horizon Forbidden West returns to a beloved open‑world franchise, ensuring that players who missed the original release can catch up via the subscription. Meanwhile, Mycopunk adds a fast‑paced co‑op experience, expanding the variety of genres available on the service.

The three free titles broaden the appeal beyond the core catalog, giving racing, survival‑horror, and over‑the‑top shooter fans a reason to log in before the deadline.
