The News, Explained
Sony Interactive Entertainment announced the October PlayStation Plus Game Catalog and Premium additions on October 14, 2026. The catalog is the list of games offered through the relevant subscription tiers. The English announcement uses October 20 as its general start date and gives separate dates and countries for several exceptions. Source
The table preserves the tier names and console support in that announcement. October 20, general start applies the date stated for the lineup as a whole. The source says Game Catalog and Premium/Deluxe lineups can differ by region, so this entire grid should not be treated as a confirmed Korean lineup. Source
Extra / Premium Game Catalog
| Game | Console | Start date and named regions |
|---|---|---|
| Mafia: The Old Country | PS5 | October 20, general start |
| Horizon Forbidden West | PS5 / PS4 | October 20, general start; returning title |
| Mycopunk | PS5 | October 20; worldwide, on release day |
| Poppy Playtime: Chapter 2 | PS5 / PS4 | October 27; US, UK, Japan |
| The Midnight Walk | PS5 | October 14 in US/UK; October 15 in Japan |
| Tales of Arise – Beyond the Dawn Edition | PS5 / PS4 | October 27; US, UK, Japan |

Premium Additions
| Game | Console | Start date and named regions |

Games, consoles, tiers and dates were checked against the same official announcement. No additional dates were inferred for countries outside the US, UK and Japan where an exception names those markets. Source
Mycopunk is described as a four-player cooperative shooter and joins the catalog worldwide on its release day. Horizon Forbidden West returns after an earlier PS Plus inclusion. The Midnight Walk supports both standard PS5 play and VR play with PS VR2, letting readers distinguish the two ways to play and the associated hardware. Source
Premium Game Trials for Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy and Mortal Shell II start on October 20. The source presents these trials separately from the catalog above; they are not counted here as two more full catalog additions. The availability of digital PS5 games for streaming also varies over time, by region and by country. Source
Seasonal member offers have their own periods or conditions. Back 4 Blood’s first DLC, Tunnels of Terror Expansion 1, can be downloaded at no additional cost from October 21 through November 4; its second and third DLC packs and Annual Pass receive a 95% discount. A Dead by Daylight cosmetic reward unlocks only if players reach a combined 10 million matches from October 20 through 26. These offer windows and conditions must be read separately from the catalog start dates. Source
OYOPICK’s Take
The value of this lineup depends on how well the games and waiting periods fit a member’s plans. For a PS4 player, titles explicitly listing PS4 are relevant options, while Mafia and Mycopunk require PS5. For someone interested in Premium additions or trials, the subscription tier is the first filter. Putting the dates in one grid can reduce the mistaken expectation that every October addition starts on the same day.
A release-day addition such as Mycopunk offers a different opportunity from a returning game such as Horizon. One provides immediate access to a new release; the other may give members another chance to play something they missed during its previous catalog period. We hope regional announcements for Korean members provide equally clear dates and tiers. Preserving the regional qualification while helping readers choose is more accurate than presenting the English lineup as a guaranteed set of Korean benefits.
