October 2018's PlayStation Plus games have been revealed, and it's a... Not-so-strong month for those subscribed to the service. At least, not as strong as previous months, which, to be fair, have been pretty crazy.
The headline acts on PlayStation 4 are Laser League and Friday the 13th: The Game. 2064: Read Only Memories is available on PS4 as well as Vita thanks to cross-buy, as is Rocketbirds 2: Evolution. Meanwhile, The Bridge is on PS4 and PS3. That's effectively five PS4 titles.
Last but... Yeah, probably least, is Master Reboot on PS3.
What do you make of October's selection? Don't shoot the messenger in the comments section below.

So much for Diablo III and Nioh.
Always expect the worst!
Great for me. Own none and would prob buy them eventually. Laser League was defo on my list.
Laser League is well worth a shot!
Wow was expecting The Last of Us actually, thought was onto a winner with that one since there's a countdown on their website which ends soon but alas.
A solid month though, Laser League badly needed it.
Yeah.... Nothing for me this month. Still, the last few have been excellent so I can hardly hold one dud against them.
EDIT; I quite like the look of Read Only Memories to be fair. Looks like Snatcher and I like the art style. Nothing amazing like but I'll definitely give that a go.
I'll probably play Read Only Memories at some point, but the others don't do anything for me at all so a bit of a poor month from my perspective, unfortunately.
Probably one of the worst months of 2018, but to be fair it's been a VERY good year for PS Plus. I'm happy with these.
Sweet, Laser League looked ace!
Great. ROM and Laser League were on my radar, and I've convinced myself not to buy Friday 13 several times (I think I'd enjoy it, but heard it's a bit janky and servers are dead, so avoided).
That's a very poor month but in reality there's too many good games out or coming out for anyone too have enough time to finish them before christmas
I'm happy with just 2064: Read Only Memories.
is this a joke? I'm checking its not April 1st! Still I've got last months, plus still havent played MGS5 or DeusEX, telltale Batman and Rime...and got Wolfenstein New Colossus on disk.
@get2sammyb yep. Friday the 13th game suck with ton of glitches and server connection problem with laggy. i am glad that i didn't waste money on it so i won't play it as free game next month because October gonna be very busy month : Assassin Creed Odyssey, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Forza Horizon 4
Yesss! I’ve wanted 2064: ROM for ages, but it never went on sale (vita) !
Couple of months of nothing & now I get a game that I wanted for ages & didn’t actually own.
I guess they saw the D3 and Nioh rumour, decided they coudlnt' compete with that no matter what they offered, so they decided it didn't matter, let's just give them whatever we have laying around, everybody is busy playing Spiderman, DQXI and TR anyway.
I would have loved an earlier soul calibur to help me polishing my skills
@ShogunRok just one of those games would have been nice.
@get2sammyb Don't be silly, it's the end of the PS4!
I'm excited to try Friday the 13th. It is the perfect month for it.
Never heard of any of them so open to trying some of them.
Not a great month on first inspection, however will try a couple at some point, especially R.O.M .
Considering its the start of the heavy hitters coming out this month, i'm not too fussed in all truth...
We just got Dead by Daylight... no one wants Friday the 13th now. Awful awful month. I was really hoping for Diablo. Dang it.
Its not a great month all around - PS+ offerings have NO appeal to me at all and Victor Vran is the 'highlight' for me from the XB1 offerings - Good job I still have Destiny Forsaken, Spider-Man, Tomb Raider, Forza Horizon, Assassins Creed and RDR2 to keep me entertained...
Too those who know is Friday the 13th similar to dead by daylight?
Meh. At least my PS4 memory storage is safe. Though, I'm looking forward on downloading 2064 and Rocketbirds 2.
Slow month, but better than 20 NES games ….
@Jaz007 was thinking the same strange to launch them so close together but I guess if your into DbD it's good not tried it
One of the best months for a while I think, I really like the look of Laser League, nice to see them catering to different tastes.
Well add Laser League, 2064: Read Only Memories and Rocketbirds 2: Evolution to my library. I will probably only download Read Only Memories but the chances of me actually playing any of them are minimal.
Ouch.
Truth be told though, I'm still not even 10% through last months games. They should have saved GOW3 for this month or something.
A lot of games ppl are asking for are games you can pick up for a tenner in game, and having seen my local game close down I'm wondering whether ps plus should be for indie games and we should support our local games shops more
I don't know why I even bother buying indie games on PS4 if they're inevitably going to become free, not that long ago I bought 2064 and it's already free.
People are upset by this? This is a great month! Laser league is meant to be brilliant and friday 13th looks fun, even if it cant be supported any longer. I have been waiting for a sale on 2064:ROM for ages too. Thats my highlight of the month. So delighted with this line up. The other games look worth a download too. Bar the ps3 title that i havent looked up
Laser league by all accounts is meant to be very good but no one is really playing it. Whether this move will help we will have wo wiat and see. No games i wanted there but guess they went with friday 13th due to halloween.
Insert Hercules clip to show disappointment
Anyway...Friday the 13th is cool to play with my cousin! The rest I don't even care...even Last of Us would be better and I already own it on ps3 and ps4
Average month but to be expected when its broketober lol. Just an observation but we have recieved 2 games that are very similar in style a d setting over the past few months. Dead by daylight and Friday the 13th are extremely similar.
This is actually a much better month for me. For once there are several games I've been wanting to buy. Pretty happy with it.
I would’ve tried Friday the 13th if it wasn’t so close to dead by daylight. I don’t want to invest in both!
I've always been curious to try this Friday the 13th game but was always put off by all the negativity. Now I can finally try it out for myself.
2064: ROM? Very nice!
@QualityGeezer
I would prefer ps plus to be all indie games who would greatly benefit from the exposure of ps plus. I think the days of high street store selling games is on its last legs. They can not possibly compete with online who have no physical shop presence. Its a shame because growing up there were numerous stores selling games but that was really before the rise of the internet that changed everything
Well I was always Interested in 2064 so that good.
@HotUKDeals call me old fashioned but I love being able to go into a game shop. You are right it's a dying breed but it's still a shame
@HotUKDeals I've bought many a game just because it's been there physically in front of me and a good price on a shelf not too mention the good ppl who work in these stores
Wasn't aware of 2064, just read the review and it looks interesting. The game Cyberpunk 2077 could have been! (possibly)
I don't have PS Plus, but I'm going to complain about this weak lineup anyway because I'm bored and need something to complain about.
Waaaaaah!
Note: I'm not making fun of anyone here. I just felt like saying something stupid.
Dang it, own 2064. Laser league looks fun though.
@QualityGeezer Never played Friday The 13th but I heard it's very similar. Personally, I loooove Dead By Daylight, so I've always wanted to try it!
However, the fact that the developers aren't allowed to add any more content to Friday the 13th (due to a recent license dispute) really makes me reluctant to invest any time into it, especially when Dead By Daylight has a larger player base and adds new characters every few months.
Poor month
@QualityGeezer i do agree with you, although I'm generally uninspired by the uk offering. I was just in toronto on holiday and they had some wonderful old school style game shops like we used to get, where every trip brings a new surprise. Always loved that kind of experience , rather than the sterile approach taken by game
Didant we already get Rocket Birds on vita for Plus?And being given Friday The 13th straight after having Dead By Daylight from Plus a couple of months earlier is a weird choice seeing as they are almost the same game..
But yeah,a very weak month but I have too much too be getting on with anyway so you wouldn't catch me moaning..
I will check 2064, but not a great month for me overall.
Can't believe I actually bought Laser League this morning
Glad it's coming to PS Plus though.
That's...disappointing. Oh well, I'll try 2064: rom at least.
Nothing that interests me but can't really complain as still got loads to play from previous months.
welp great, not gonna touch any of these
@Wazeddie22 we got the first near the beginning of plus. This is the sequel. Which i didnt know existed until this post
@Rob_230 ahh ok,thanks for the info!I just remember playing a Rocket birds on my vita and quite enjoying it.Well at least that's one game I'll be trying then.
Ugh... Well there's always next month...
At least I'm really enjoying Mad Max which I hadn't played before.
@Rob_230 totally mate I went to Washington recently and came across 3 game stores in a 10 minute walk, if only the had pal games I would have been sorted
@Keihtg thanks for the heads up will still give it a go was interested in how the licencing works seen as dead by daylight had so many classic characters
Still playing DQXI non-stop anyway.
Dung.
Finally a bunch of games I don’t have I’m excited.
Not really aware of laser league and 2065, are you guys reposting reviews?
Ft13... not much interest in the franchise and Jason dragging people out of cars right THROUGH the doors feels a bit hardcore even for a game that features a "YOU DIED" screen almost verbatim. Then again, unlike Dead by Daylight, it apparently has some kind of single player campaign, so there's that. Still not sure if even Laser League has one.
Rocketbirds 2 look vivid but might not compete with my more current backlog (I still haven't even tried Foul Play for a similar reason). Got The Bridge on Switch and 2064 is coming there as well, but I might take a curious peek now that I'll have an advance playable copy anyway. So most of my curiosity so far lies with Master Reboot, actually... and lo, OF COURSE it's PS3 only! Oh well, at least it's also on Steam with seemingly manageable reqs.
Nothing immediately jumps out at me but I’ll have a closer look as sometimes a random monthly game turns out to be a lot of fun. In any event I’ve still got a Plus backlog and have already enjoyed enough titles this year to make the membership worth it so I’m not gonna grumble.
I'm just happy to refuse free destiny 2. I don't think I want to play any of those games.
@Agramonte You say that like it's a bad thing lol.One of the best Jrpgs in a long time!
Nothing to see here. Moving on...
@Kidfried We got enough great games already dont be a crybaby you got your moneys worth in 2 months. 😜
@Wazeddie22 Not at all... I even moved Jury Duty back a month so not to interfere 🤣
Best turn based jRPG I have played in ages. (edited)
I doubt I will play any of them. AC:O,RDR2, and Spider-Man DLC should keep me pretty busy for awhile.
@Agramonte Day off school or work sure, but delaying Jury Duty?yep I'm convinced you are enjoying it.😂
Hmm ... having a hard time being optimistic here. It could be worse. It could be six games I have no interest in. .... oh, wait.
Great, six new games to add to my backlog.
They know Red Dead Redemption 2 comes out next month so thank you very much I don't want none of those games!
Friday the 13th! Yay, finally a game I don't own (and secretly wanted to).
@ShogunRok then your never disappointed 😂...well not quite as much.
I'll probably play 2064, but I can pretty much guarantee I'll never play the others.
Why do they always have to follow the Halloween theme?? I mean really Friday the 13th is an awful buggy mess. And yet it managed to get into the ps+ list of games so much for Sony doing quality checks first why not Doom or Diablo 3 for a horror type game to mention a few. To be honest I'll then all to my account but won't be playing anything because it's a load of crap
Not a great month to be honest, at least compared to the rumours. I like the sound of playing Laser League offline with my son though, Rocketbirds is fun. Will give F13 a quick try but not my thing. No idea why Sony would give that away so soon after DbD when they seem pretty identical on face value. Odd decision.
I'm thinking I will probably let Plus expire in November anyway because I don't play online much, if at all, and I have a PS Now subscription which seems better value what with most Plus games going on there in the end anyway.
Nothing for me, but I'll happily grab Friday the 13th for free.
I was never gonna buy it so this works out .
Friday the 13th! Read only memories! Ive been close to buying both. All i wanted was a horror game so ive been spoiled
@ShogunRok boring
@Nakatomi_Uk you funny
Rather poor apart from Rocketbirds 2: Evolution on PS4 and Vita
Nothing interesting here this month. Just as well, my backlog of games is getting out of hand.
