Based on its typical announcement pattern, Sony will be revealing the upcomingPS Plusgames for October on Wednesday, September 29. This is usually a point of high anticipation and eagerness as fans wait to see what the new games are. However, thanks to a recent leak, fans may already know what thesePS Plusgames are and seem unhappy with the batch.
According to dealabs, thePS Plus free game selection for October 2021 includesHell Let Loose(PS5),Mortal Kombat X(PS4), andPGA Tour 2K21(PS4). They are not yet confirmed, but this isn’t any run-of-the-mill leak either. Dealabs has been accurate several times in the past, earning the site a lot of credibility when it comes to these leaks. Fans should still take it with a grain of salt, but it does seem like a safe bet that these games will be the ones Sony announces on Wednesday.

Unfortunately, the reception thus far has not been ecstatic. Several fans on the PlayStation Plus subreddit have expressed how unhappy they are with this line-up, with some even saying it’s in their top 3 or top 5worst PS Plus months, even compared to May 2020which resulted in a petition. It’s always a personal taste, of course, but there are quite a few reasons fans feel this way.
PS Plus Free Games for October/Halloween
First, many were hoping for a “spooky” horror game given that it’s Halloween. What makes this worse is thatAlan Wake Remasteredreleases on October 5, the same day these PS Plus games will become available. Many suggest the PS Plus games for next month really aren’t in the spirit of the “spooky season,” and that’s a fair analysis. WhileMortal Kombat Xhas several DLC characters based on horror franchises, it’s not exactly designed to be scary, and the PS Plus version of the game won’t come with these DLC characters anyway.
PS Plus Free Games on PS4 May Seem Lackluster
Others point out the PS4 game offering specifically being lackluster.Mortal Kombat X, for example, is quite old at this point and has been in several sales in the past; most who are interesting in the fighting game franchise likely already own it, especially withMortal Kombat 11out and done too. ForPGA Tour 2K21, it’s the fact that it’s a golf game for many, and anyone who is uninterested in golf isn’t going to find too much appeal in this title.

Overall, it’ll be interesting to see if this leak is accurate, and fans don’t have to wait long. It is a bit of a bummer, however, that it seems many are already disappointed with the month before it can even be confirmed.
