Great Assassin’s Creed games are flooding PS Plus this month

Sony’s revamped PS Plus service gets bigger and better every month, and October opens the floodgates for a flood of great games. There is Assassin’s Creed III and syndicateyes, but also a lot dragon quest Games, the recent remaster of Grand Theft Auto: Vice Cityand even former Xbox Series X/S exclusives, The medium. The only thing missing are the PlayStation classics that longtime PS4 and PS5 owners have been waiting for for years.

Here’s the full list of what’s coming to PS Plus Extra on October 18:

• Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
• Assassin’s Creed 3 Remastered
• Assassin’s Creed Syndicate
• Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China
• Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India
• Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia
• Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age
• Dragon Quest Builder
• Dragon Quest Builders 2
• Dragon Quest Heroes: The Woe of the World Tree and the Plague Beneath
• Dragon Quest Heroes 2: Explorer’s Edition
• Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker
• Hohocum
• Inside
• The medium
• Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – The Definitive Edition

Blooper teams The medium is the only one on the list that is exclusive to PS5. The rest are PS4 titles but playable except for PS5 Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, which still doesn’t run properly on Sony’s current-gen console. Inside is still one of my favorite cinematic adventure games ever, and Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age is perfect JRPG comfort food as it starts to get chilly outside.

Much less impressive is what’s in store for PS Plus Premium, the third and most expensive tier of the service. Now in its fourth month, the $18-a-month subscription’s library is still missing a lot of classic games, and the new arrivals don’t do much to fix that:

• Yakuza 3 Remastered
• Yakuza 4 Remastered
• Yakuza 5 Remastered
• Ultra Street Fighter IV
• limbo
• Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
• everyday shooter

Castlevania and everyday shooter are still on PS3, which means you can only play them via streaming. The rest is on PS4 and can therefore be played natively. This is great news for anyone who’s been drooling over the Street Fighter VI Beta and now longs to revisit the PS3 hit fighting game series. But it’s still far from what die-hard gamers would want from the premium tier.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 + Galaxy Z Fold 4

Bending, posing, posting
Faced with stiff competition from rival Apple, Samsung has really upped its game for Amazon’s early access sales event. Right now you can snag two of the hottest new smartphones on the market: the Z Flip 4 and the Z Fold 4, for up to almost 25% off the usual asking price. This is a hell of a deal considering both phones have been available for less than two months. If you’ve been waiting for an upgrade, now is the time.

For a moment, it looked like Sony might be quietly bringing something Ridge racer 2 to PS Plus in October. The game was not listed on the playstation blog, but it was included in the new PS Plus trailer. Unfortunately, Sony removed the video just a few hours later. Maybe next month there will be a glimpse Ridge Racer Revolution.
