PlayStation Plus subscribers can start downloading this month’s free games starting today, October 7th, 2025. Sony’s October lineup offers a mix of psychological horror, chaotic humor, and clever puzzle-solving. The three titles available now are Alan Wake 2, Goat Simulator 3, and Cocoon, each bringing something different to players on PS4 and PS5. These games can be claimed until November 3rd, while Premium subscribers can also access a one-hour trial of Midnight Murder Club starting today.

Alan Wake 2

Alan Wake 2 is a psychological survival horror game that continues the story of writer Alan Wake, who has been trapped in a dark alternate dimension. Players experience the game from two perspectives: Alan’s desperate attempt to escape the nightmare, and FBI agent Saga Anderson’s investigation into a series of ritualistic murders in the real world. The gameplay combines exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat that relies heavily on light-based mechanics. It is cinematic, story-driven, and filled with tension.

Goat Simulator 3

Goat Simulator 3 is a sandbox comedy game that embraces pure absurdity. You play as a goat causing chaos across a sprawling open world, headbutting pedestrians, blowing up cars, and completing offbeat missions. The game thrives on ridiculous physics, unexpected events, and multiplayer co-op for up to four players. It is designed for fun, randomness, and endless replayability.

Cocoon

Cocoon is a puzzle exploration game created by Jeppe Carlsen, the lead designer behind Limbo and Inside. Players control a small creature navigating through layers of interconnected worlds, each contained within glowing orbs. The gameplay focuses on spatial reasoning, environmental puzzles, and subtle world-building rather than dialogue or combat. It offers a peaceful, atmospheric experience that rewards curiosity and patience.

Midnight Murder Club (Premium Trial)

PlayStation Plus Premium members can also try Midnight Murder Club as part of a one-hour timed trial starting today. Progress and trophies earned during the trial carry over if you decide to buy the full game.

All three main titles are available for download right now through the PlayStation Store. Once you add them to your library, they remain playable as long as your PlayStation Plus subscription stays active. The offer runs until November 3rd, after which a new lineup will replace them.

This month’s mix provides a little something for everyone. Alan Wake 2 delivers cinematic horror, Goat Simulator 3 offers comedic chaos, and Cocoon provides calm, thought-provoking puzzles. Whether you want a deep story, mindless fun, or a quiet challenge, October’s lineup gives you reasons to keep your subscription active.
