PlayStation Plus: Free Games for October 2016

Hey PS Plus members, let’s get in the Halloween spirit with this month’s free games lineup for October, 2016.

PlayStation Plus: Free Games for October 2016

First up, we have Resident Evil. What better way to get excited for the holiday and the upcoming Resident Evil VII than by going back to the start of it all? This year Capcom is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the franchise, and this remastered HD version is the perfect way to enjoy the game. So whether you’re reacquainting with old friends Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, or meeting them for the first time, get ready to learn the secrets of the mansion that lies on the outskirts of Raccoon City.

Next up is Transformers: Devastation. Drawing on the talents from the original Transformers TV series for the story and voice work, the game should feel pleasantly familiar to fans. Fabled developer PlatinumGames also delivers a fun and rewarding combat system with their signature fast-paced action. With your choice of five Autobots, get in there and battle against the Decepticons and Insecticons to save earth from Megatron’s evil plans.

Full Lineup

  • Resident Evil, PS4
  • Transformers: Devastation, PS4
  • Mad Riders, PS3
  • From Dust, PS3
  • Code: Realize ~Guardian of Rebirth~, PS Vita
  • Actual Sunlight, PS Vita

We’ll see you in the comments section. Enjoy.

  • even though i enjoy a good visual novel, i would love to see a decent JRPG on the Vita, i know we had a few rpg’s before and as good as those were, they were.. unusual?
    Still, in saying that, this is a decent line up of good variety,

  • Love it,but can you put in new games?

  • We should be given a choice. If I have already bought a game like Resident Evil, I should be offered the choice of another game, or, you need to start by posting what the games are going to be for the next 12 months, I bought Resident Evil recently, so I am getting no value from my subscription. I don’t care about Transformers, I’ll never play it, and I no longer use my PS3 and won’t ever buy a Vita. The idea is simple, if a user has one or all of the games on their account already because they bought it, give the offer on a game they haven’t spent money on. Doesn’t cost Sony anything, actually makes people not cancel their subscription because they will feel that they are getting value for money, and make Sony more money. This keeps happening to me. Please change the way you give games away on PS PLUS, please give me something I haven’t already bought.

    • I think that for every month, Sony has to strike a deal with the publisher and pay them an agreed-upon lump sum. It’s not like they can give away just any game at any time…

    • @ oliversmith2 – Lol.

    • “Transformers Devastation” was very cheap two or three months ago, is the same way every year, most of the “plus games” are very cheap on the flash sales and then are labeled as free rented games.

      I own the two versions, one on PS3 and the other on PS4, is the way it is… people buy it cheap on the sales or waited a year on the plus.

    • Well said. Ps plus is becoming as big of a rip-off as the BBC TV licence.

  • Wow! I didn’t know From Dust was made by Another World’s creator! I’ll definitely try it out!!!!

  • Think i’ll not be renewing my ps plus membership . Virtually every month i’m given a game i’ve already bought from the ps store, and the other games are usually the worst indie crap like broforce or rpgs which i don’t like. I don’t see the point in multiplayer either, so there’s little point in ps plus for me. I’ve been so disappointed with ps4 in general . So few great games and loads of ‘remaster’ cash grabs.

    • So stop buying games. That is the chance you take with PS Plus. I for one had not bought Transformers Devastation and Resident Evil remaster so this an awesome month for me. I have many games like Mad Max, Uncharted 4 and many others, but if they were free* on Plus, I would be happy for others.

    • No, the most logical move is to stop ps plus until they think of a solution to this problem, e.g. give people a choice of monthly games.

  • Wow the PS4 games are incredible this month,well done Sony.Now I won’t need to buy RE anymore.

    PS3 and Vita games are pretty weak this month but PS4 games are a real blast.

  • This, my friends, IMO is the best lineup ever. Not only the 2 PS4 titles justify the recent price bump, but Code: Realize is the firs Vita Galgame offered as a PS+ title to my recollection, let’s hope there’ll be more to come. No more PSP games, yeah!

    • If “Galgame” means “dating sim for gals” (Otome), look at this month’s Amnesia: Memories. Playstation Plus has a bad habit of putting games from the same niche genre too close together.

  • Two amazing games I can’t wait to play, and they’re released on my birthday. WIN!!!

  • Cool. Games I don’t already own

  • This is a horrible update. Seriously, no AAA titles? You guys could have at least given us a good horror title made within the last few years, not some remastered game made forever ago. It’s been a while since I downloaded a monthly game, and it looks like I’m not getting one this month either.

  • Not a bad month

  • By the way for me PARAGON is the way I justified the renew of my subscription, what a great game on PS4

  • Return to form for PS Plus! Keep it up! Now if only you didn’t return to form only when you felt pressure or concern from the competition!

    I have RE, but Transformers, heck yeah!

  • For example “battlefield hardline” is only 4 bucks now, is a steal price only by plus members, I know for the reviews is not perfect but is a battlefield game at least so has some value… probably on 4 o 6 months it appeared on the rented plus games.

  • Don’t care much for RE, but that Transformers looks fun and I’ve always wanted to play From Dust since I played the demo a while back. The ATV game looks fun too.
    All in all, looks like a good lineup and the RE fans look very happy.
    Still waiting for Black Flag though. :D

  • Excellent lineup Sony!!! 2 great ps4 games, I know Greg Miller had reccomended Actual Sunlight so I’ve been interested in it. From what I remember Code: realize scored fairly well on metacritic as well. All in all it looks like this will be a pretty fun October, thanks again!

  • OMG two games that i actually love! looks like gonna have some busy weekends! i really loved journey! i hope you consider limbo soon, thank you!!!

  • My lust for platinum trophies is going to be my downfall with Resident Evil. I looked up the trophy guide and got sick. This is gonna be rough :\ Pray For Me. Pray For Harambe.

  • Never did get around to finishing TF: Devastation so i can keep 20 bucks in my pocket(so to speak) RE Remake…Maybe it’s just me or was Resident Evil always tedious? Just isn’t as awesome as i remember, i was only 17 at the time..

    Jesus i’m getting old!!

  • Transformers works on Halloween in contrast, considering not all Halloween costumes need be ‘horror’ themed. I remember the plastic masked cheap Transformer, Spiderman, He-Man costumes for Halloween when I was a kid.

  • Absolutely awesome! Can’t wait to play resident evil for Halloween :-)

  • Awesomet lineup this month, this is what having PS+ Memberships is all about!!

  • nice guys! If there’s at least a game or 2 i like every month im happy.

  • SOLID MONTH again! im happy with these games

  • Nice month. A little bit of VN overload on Vita the way things are going, but those are full retail titles, and I wouldn’t complain about, say, Steins;Gate.

  • Resident Evil, a Transformers beat-em up and From Dust. Thank you Sony!

  • Even though I already have Transformers for the PC along with the costume DLC, this is a good month for PS4. Especially when you include Resident Evil, just in time for Halloween. Very good Sony, very good.

  • Neat. I’ll definitely be checking out Transformers Devastation. Absolutely didn’t want to pay full price for it anyway – it is clearly the same kind of short, arcadey, simpler experience from Platinum Games that the great Legend of Korra is… but that game was always $15. A perfect price point. Activision jacking up the price on Transformers and TMNT really just shows some nasty greed; preying on some people’s nostalgia. I wanna support more arcadey downloadable brawlers from Platinum, but not at those prices. Even during sales, Tranformers is too pricey. Getting it as a PS+ Bonus next month is more the kind of deal I like :)

  • Awesome to see resident evil hd for free. I already paid for price when it first came out but seriously was worth the money. Just my luck, best ps plus game so far and i already own it. Lol.

  • I like the selection of October games I hope Sony keeps going with triple AAA games now since the price hike on the memberships that started on September 22nd

  • Wow. Another month of hot garbage. Thanks for nuthin’ Sony….

    Just kidding. This line-up is pretty good.

  • Why don’t the videos ever showcase the vita titles? I’ve never even heard of those. I want to see what they’re like.

  • That is a good lineup of PS4 games. I bought REmake when it was first released and Transformers Devastation when it was on a great sale but yeah if you don’t have either that is great.

    I also like From Dust quite a bit, that is a cool game.

  • Actual nice vita games 2 months in a row. Nice! My library is filled with mini retro kinda games lol. Not a big fan of Transformers series, but I guess I should try it to see how reward the gameplay is. Since I’m still playing PS3 ( I know, outdated graphic and blah blah blah, but oh well I still play Contra), any new/never played before game is welcome. I hope when Sony stops support PS3, they won’t get rid of ps3 game selection, and force us to redownload everything. My poor 500gb ps3 cannot take that.

    • Why do you feel the need to explain the use of your PS3? It’s a great console with amazing games, so many that I still don’t want to get a PS4…

      I do share your concern: I have a sizable library of digital games that I haven’t got around to finishing, but I think that if Sony continues supporting PS Now, they’ll continue supporting the PS3 as well.

    • Haha because most of my friends stop using their ps3 and complain their ps4 lack of games, and they told me to sell my ps3 because it is old, so I assumed that what people are doing now. It is funny that they are now looking for old console like ps1, ps2, sega dreamcast to play classic games.

      PS Now is good for people who never and wanna try a lot of new games, but like you I have TON of ps3 games I need to catch up (Thank you 3DS), so it is better for us if they continue to support it in the future. Hope Sony won’t come up with crap like monthly fee to keep the games in the library. Gee it would be bad.

  • PS Plus doing what makes it one of the best services in gaming, providing free games that you may not buy but want to play. This is true for both PS4 games. I haven’t really heard of the others, but I ‘ll check them out too. Thanks, Sony.

  • I’m interested to see how they’ll incorporate PlayStation VR into PlayStation Plus, if at all. Perhaps just discounts, or maybe some exclusive demos or betas. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. ;p

  • I know alot of people are happy about these games. And fair enough. But personally i dont want to play games i have already beaten. Especially ones i played the **** out of as a kid like re.1. Since rocket leage there hasnt been a ps+ game i have wanted to play. But thats just me. Good for some nostalgia i guess. But i was hoping for something that i couldnt buy for less than my ps+ subscription.

  • Way to earn that extra $10 price kick a year. GG, Sony.

  • All you people who say these are free games there not. Your paying a monthly fee for these . If you cancel your membership you can no longer play them so there not free

    • Well in what I understand, you are receiving the game for free as long as you have a paid PS Plus membership. The games aren’t necessarily gone when it’s on.

    • When PS Plus expires*

    • That’s one way to look at it.
      Another would be that you are playing for online access, as many have been doing with Xbox Live for many years. Sony was offering it for free, but in order to keep the quality up and continue to improve they couldn’t keep giving it away for free.

      Anyway, they are technically free games included with the paid online access and 2TB of cloud saving.

      If you were lucky enough to catch them, a few years back you could snag a year of PSN Plus for only $22 during a BF sale, then just recently a Canadian retailer was selling a year for $35 USD. I bought 5 years. Might as well stack ’em up. “_”

    • We are still talking about this? I thought that the issue of them being free * has already been talked about enough in past. Time to move on.

  • Great PS4 lineup, bad PS3 Lineup, hilariously terrible Vita Lineup.
    Seriously, a steam greenlight linear narrative game and another otome dating sim was the best you could do?

    • All these dating simulators killed Japanese gaming.

    • @Wirlog-00

      You’re kidding right?

      Ah huge chunk of Vita games and some PS3 / PS4 games are Visual Novels (or as you call it dating sims) in Japan.

      It didn’t kill anything in Japanese gaming market.

  • I’m very happy with the Vita lineup! Both games have been on my wish list for a while, but I’m really looking forward to Actual Sunlight in particular.

  • It kind of sucks that there are only 2 Free PS Plus games this month, but it’s better than nothing and plus (see what i did there), there is that Resident Evil that I haven’t really played yet. It does seem pretty fun, so I guess that’s worth the download wait, time, and space.

  • After almost 6 months, my PS+ worth something.
    No ****** INDIE games on PS4 or “No one wanted to play you” on PS3.
    PS Vita? I don’t own that because over expensive memory cards…

  • cool, ill cop everything as usual..maybe give transformers a try

  • If this is what we have to look forward to with the 10 dollar increase, I say: Welcome Playstation Overlords!

  • Yay! Resident, Transformers and Xblaze ( ̄∀ ̄)

  • I think they should put better free games like they with 2k16 instead they should exclusives like this with fifa and madden because i’m tired of only 2 free games a month

  • At some point I think they should swap the free PS3 games for PSVR, or another idea would be to make PS1 Classics playable locally on the PS4, then they could start doling those out.

  • What is the third ps4 free games?
    And is this for ps pkus reg 3 too or only for reg 1 and 2?
    Because i’ve got gravity rush instead lords of fallen in september free games

    I could NOT play a full multiplayer game all the way through on Broforce…….NOR could I contact ANYONE about its atrocious online connectivity. Everyone except for the trash that for Broforce righfully deserves their $4.16 or 1 Month subscription in retribution of having to deal with that putrid no graphics card “application” (It’s not a PS4 game unless it turns on the High-End Graphics Card…….not the Web Browser Graphics Card)”””

    Your comment was SO dumb. If you ever got into a time machine accident, got sent to the mid-80’s, and had no video games like we NOW have in 2016, you’d be dealing with the 8-bit era. You would be SO miserable until you made it back to 2016, all because you’re too small-minded, closed-minded, and too closed-hearted to give such games a decent chance. Just because a game is PRETTIER, it doesn’t always mean you’ll have as much fun. I gave my PC copy of The Division, that I got for free with a new video card and played the PS4 version instead, mainly because most of my friends were on the PS4 version. I’d rather have more fun with friends in a game with me than play the prettier version solo or with strangers.
