New data suggests that the PlayStation Plus free games for October 2024 are the most popular batch of free games that the subscription service has seen all year long. PlayStation Plus subscribers are treated to new free games on a monthly basis, typically three at a time. The free games vary wildly from month to month, with the October 2024 free games offering two horror games and one wrestling game.
The current PS Plus free games are WWE 2K24, the Dead Space remake, and Doki Doki Literature Club Plus. WWE 2K24 is the latest installment in the WWE 2K series, and hasn’t even been out a year yet, so its PS Plus debut adds a great deal of value to the service. The Dead Space remake was one of the highest-rated new game releases of 2023 and is generally considered one of the better horror game remakes ever made. Doki Doki Literature Club Plus, meanwhile, is a rather bizarre visual novel horror game experience that fans of the genre need to play for themselves to fully understand.

PS Plus subscribers have had a lot of great games to play in 2024, though they seem to like the October 2024 lineup the best.
What makes this especially impressive is that some of the PS Plus free game lineups earlier in the year included day one releases. Specifically, Foamstars and Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions were day one PS Plus games, yet they were unable to draw in as many players as WWE 2K24, Dead Space, and Doki Doki Literature Club Plus. October 2024 is going to be hard to beat for sure, but it will be exciting to see what PS Plus has in store for November and December.
