PlayStation Plus is saying goodbye to seven games this month. From action-packed shooters to chilling survival horror and even a VR puzzle experience, here’s what you need to play before they leave the service
PlayStation Plus was launched as Sony’s answer to the hugely popular Xbox Game Pass, but it didn’t achieve massive success right out of the gate. As a subscription service, it also struggled to match the appeal of Game Pass, which had already become a favourite among gamers.
Sony was quick to address this, slowly expanding the PlayStation Plus library until it reached a solid and respectable level. While it still doesn’t quite match the scale of Game Pass, it has grown into a strong offering in its own right. On top of that, subscribers receive three free games each month—a reason enough to stick to this subscription on its own.
As new games are added to PlayStation Plus, some must inevitably leave—and that’s happened again this month. If you’re a subscriber and want to squeeze out every bit of value, it’s worth knowing which titles will be departing from the Plus catalogue.
The titles that will leave PlayStation Plus in October 2025
Perhaps the most popular among the leaving titles is the WW1 shooter from EA, Battlefield 1. Few gamers haven’t heard of the Battlefield series, and in recent years, it’s often been seen as locked in an unspoken rivalry with Call of Duty, with both franchises delivering strong entries. One such title is Battlefield 1, which will be leaving PS Plus this month.
While it’s not the best time to start building a long-term online career in the game, fans of well-crafted single-player campaigns still have the chance to dive in. Fortunately, the campaign isn’t too long, but it’s engaging, memorable, and well worth experiencing before it disappears.

2. Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed (Ecto Edition)
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is a 4v1 multiplayer experience where players take on the role of either a ghostbuster or the ghost itself. It delivers plenty of fun moments and captures much of the charm and spirit from the classic Ghostbusters films and comics. With the game set to leave PS Plus this month, now’s the perfect time to jump in for a few matches with friends before it disappears from the service.
There’s little introduction needed for the world’s biggest cycling event, the legendary Tour de France. If you know the sport, you know the race—and if you don’t, this game offers a chance to experience it virtually. With the title leaving PS Plus this month, now is the perfect moment for cycling fans to put in a few hours (or even days) before it’s gone. And who knows—if it grabs your attention, you might even decide to pick it up permanently, especially with fall gaming discounts just around the corner.

5 and 6. The Dark Pictures (The Devil in Me and House of Ashes)
Though they are separate entries, The Dark Pictures: House of Ashes and The Dark Pictures: The Devil in Me belong to the same anthology series, so it makes sense to highlight them together. Released in 2021 and 2022, both titles deliver survival horror experiences that are packed with tense atmosphere and feature-rich, branching narratives. If you haven’t tried them yet and are in the mood for a solid horror experience, this is an excellent chance to dive in while they’re still available on PS Plus.
The Last Clockwinder stands out as the only VR title on this list. This charming indie puzzle game tasks you with solving intricate challenges involving clockwork mechanisms and plant-based contraptions—often by cleverly cloning your own actions to complete complex sequences.
It’s a delightful blend of creativity and brain teasers, perfect for PS VR owners seeking something unique to play. Just like the other games mentioned, it will be leaving PS Plus this October, so now’s the time to give it a try.
That wraps up the list of all seven games leaving PlayStation Plus this month. If any of these titles caught your eye and you’re a subscriber, now’s the time to jump in and enjoy them while they’re still around.
