PlayStation Plus: October is bringing a lot to enjoy
PlayStation have announced the October additions to the Classic Catalogue and Game Catalogues, including some big names.
As always there are two tiers, the Deluxe Tier provides access to both groups, with the Classic Games being the exclusive collection. For those with the Extra plan, they will get the standard Game Catalogue only.
Something that is also new is that Sony have announced PlayStation 5 game streaming, but don’t worry we don’t have to worry about that. The current locations for it are those same places where they already do PlayStation 3 game streaming, which is not something we have in Australia, so as such we don’t get streaming for PlayStation 5 games.
In any event, here are the games being added on October 17th, starting off with the older titles.
