PlayStation Plus October 2025 monthly games revealed: Alan Wake 2, Goat Simulator 3, and Cocoon arrive October 7
Sony has confirmed the PlayStation Plus lineup for October 2025, and it’s a crowd-pleasing trio that covers survival horror, sandbox chaos, and clever indie puzzling. All three games will be available to add to your library starting October 7, and they’re free to keep as long as you maintain an active PlayStation Plus membership on any tier.
Alan Wake 2 leads the lineup. Developed by Remedy Entertainment, this acclaimed survival horror sequel blends tense exploration with smart puzzle-solving and rich environmental storytelling. You don’t need to have played the original to dive in; the game stands on its own with a cinematic narrative and striking visuals. Note that Alan Wake 2 is a PS5-only title, designed to take advantage of current-gen hardware.
Goat Simulator 3 brings open-world mayhem to the lineup. Play as an indestructible goat and turn a quiet town into your personal playground. There’s no strict story to follow—just physics-driven chaos, pranks, and pure silliness. It’s available on both PS5 and PS4, making it easy for more players to jump in and cause havoc.
Rounding things out is Cocoon, a standout indie adventure from the gameplay designer behind Limbo and Inside. Cocoon challenges you with beautifully crafted puzzles set across intricately connected worlds. It’s concise and satisfying, with most first-time players finishing in roughly three to four hours—perfect for a weekend playthrough.
