October's selection of PS Plus titles has just recently been made available for download, but it appears someone at Sony is far more excited about next month's lineup. At the time of writing, the page for PlayStation Plus on the official website clearly advertises November's freebie PS4 games, and they're pretty good. According to this image, Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition and Yakuza: Kiwami are the games heading to Plus next month.
As PlayStation Plus announcements are usually run on a predictable schedule, this seems like a mistake to us. The image is likely to be removed and replaced with the October games pretty quickly. We imagine someone at Sony will be getting a slap on the wrist today.
There's a possibility this isn't true, but seeing as the source is, er, PlayStation itself, it seems pretty likely that this is the intended lineup for November. Of course, we'll find out in a few weeks' time when the new Plus games are properly announced. What do you think? Would Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition and Yakuza: Kiwami be a good selection for you? Murder with style in the comments below.
Update: Sarah Wellock, a SEGA employee, has confirmed the inclusion of Yakuza: Kiwami in next month's lineup.

We can probably assume this means Bulletstorm is legitimate, too.

Wow that will be a huge month if true I haven't played ether, I've been wanting to start the yakuza games
Whoops! Good lineup though.
Usually skip them most months. (Always add them to my collection though) but would definitely play both of these.
Oh yeah. I'd love this line up. Want to play all the Yakuza games at some point and only own 2 of them so far
I love how it says 'active membership required to access free content'.
Ummmmm. It's not free. I pay £50 a year lol.
I didn't like Bulletstorm the first time so I won't bother with that, but Yakuza is a winner.
nice i dig
I just recently bought Yakuza Kiwami 😑 so I hope this is just a mistake
I just played kiwami. Wish I had waited now. But still great game.
Kiwami I already own and played of course...I actually finished Yakuza 6 this week! Awesome games...
Anyway Bulletstorm was already free on ps3 lol but oh well I can play it again I guess
Great lineup.
I actually really enjoyed Bulletstorm on PS3 – it was a lot of fun, and I'm not usually one for first-person shooters. I wouldn't mind messing around with it again.
I already have Yakuza Kiwami, but it's an excellent addition for those who don't.
I was going to buy Yakuza Kiwami tomorrow so I think I'll wait a few weeks now and go buy 6 instead 😁😁😁
Honestly wouldn't mind that 😃 Bulletstorm was a blast back on PS3 & I've been looking at YK but always hung back as people have told me it's quite stiff compared to Y0
I'm not bothered to be honest as I think my Plus expires next month anyway and, seeing as I rarely if ever game online, I probably won't renew it. Most of the the Plus games seem to head straight on to PS Now anyway so, now you can download PS4 games on there, I'd rather just subscribe to that i think.
@GoodGame your right but technically your paying for the Online service now and the games are a perk, unlike back on PS3
Would've preferred Yakuza 0, but I'll give those a try.
I was thinking of getting another Yakuza game at some point, so getting Kiwami on Plus is a-okay with me
Please, I really want Kiwami after I finished Yakuza Zero, hope it’s true.
I didn’t like Bulletstorm, but Yakuza Kiwami alone will be worth it.
Having Kiwami be on Plus seems like a huge missed opportunity. By far the worst Yakuza game on PS4 (but still quite a good game overall) and everyone should really play Yakuza 0 first.
Nothing which would interest me. Played the demo of Bulletstorm on PS3 and didn't rate it. Never been interested in the Yakuza games.
@JoeBlogs It really is idiotic for people to complain about it. Clearly, when a hotel offers a free massage with the booking of the room, no one complains that it shouldn't be called "free".
Same with "free drink" at clubs.
We all know exactly what it means.
@SKC_Diamond boring
Bet it was planned think about release an image of 2 games like that take the image down and say it was a mistake or keep shut about it and then troll the forums see what the reaction is and then actual release those games. This month's games where poor very poor
I would give Bulletstorm another playthrough.
@b1ackjack_ps I'd imagine it will be fine as kiwami was originally a ps2 game anyway so it had actually been released long before they even thought about making zero. I'd defenately play the rest in order tho.
Yeah, a good month, but I got all excited about the Nioh/Diablo leak last month and look where that landed us — the worst month of PS plus this year (my opinion of course). I realize the source is different here, being PlayStation itself, but I wouldn’t hold my breath for these.
Sony HQ: "Now Bob, you shouldn't have put up the banner for November's PS Plus games yet. It's still early October. No one needed to know about that yet"
Bob: "I'm sorry Mr. Sony-san. It won't happen again."
Sony HQ: "That's ok Bob, apology accepted. Now, for your next assignment, we're going to put you in charge of managing the PS5 launch teasers."
@Turismo4GT awww poor Bob, such responsibility
Already have yakuza kiwami steelbook edition but cool, now I can play the digital version and keep my steelbook unwrapped
Also bulletstorm is good too, it's one of the games that I want to try but not at full price.
Very nice. Might be time for me to resubscribe.
Awesome! I've always wanted to play a Yakuza game.
Bulletstorm doesn’t get the love it deserves. That game is great fun.
It’s the name. The name “Bulletstorm” is dumb, dumb, dumb. The game is all about the arm leash, yet the title indicates it’s all about the bullets. Same thing with “Killzone”—another great series with a terribly bland, forgettable name that doesn’t encapsulate what it’s all about.
I’ve never played Yakuza before, so I probably won’t buy zero first to play in order. I’m willing to try this but if I like it, should I pay zero second before playing 2,3, etc?
And I have no idea what bulletstorm is...
@get2sammyb She confirmed it for Europe does this mean we aren't getting Yakuza in NA?
@Tasuki It's usually the same in both territories, so it's hard to imagine it'll be different in November.
She just works for SEGA UK so that's probably why she tweeted that particular account.
@get2sammyb Yeah your right it is usually the same but I remember a few times it wasn't. You are probably right about why she tweeted it the way she did but I know my luck 😂.
@Tasuki I'm pretty sure the original image leaked on the US PlayStation website, so I think you'll be fine.
I already own Yakuza, but the quality here is significantly better. Bad for me, but good for non owners.
@JoeBlogs 'Bonus' would be perfectly adequate. I'd rather use more accurate adjectives than less accurate ones.
Guess I'd better go and buy Zero then. I've been meaning to play through the Yakuza series in order, this is the shove I needed.
Will have to wait until the new year though, got me some cattle to be a-wrangling
PS Plus is more valuable than failbox gold.
That's a pretty nice offering. I don't have either of those. The image has already been changed to the October games...Someone is gonna be in trouble.
@JoeBlogs "Bonus suggests you’re getting sth more than what you paid for, so it isn’t any more adequate."
'at no extra cost beyond the subscription fee you've already paid'
It's adequate for people who pay for PS+ to play online.
It's also certainly more accurate than 'free'. If people need to spend money in order to get games, they aren't free by definition. People may understand what is meant by 'free' in this instance, but only because the term's been misused by marketers so much.
Kiwami and then zero is perfectly fine as long as you start playing these damn amazing games.
This would be a dream come true, line up for me, considering I'm currently playing Yakuza Zero. Course RDR2 at the end of the month, so whatever does come out, wont be played for quite a while.
Excluding the Yakuza 6 "demo", this'll be my first actual yakuza game.
oh yeah bulletstorm too yay
@klog60 It's up to them to decide what costs what, and if the online play costs £50 a year, then the games are indeed free. If I charged you £50 for a pair of trousers, but then also gave you dozens of PS4 games, they would indeed be free and trying to argue otherwise would be crazy. "Bonus" doesn't change it, that's saying exactly the same thing; that they're on top of what you paid for, i.e. had no cost, i.e. free.
Even if you ignore that, £50 wouldn't cover the whole selection of games anyway. It'd maybe buy you two of the games. So even if you want to wilfully ignore that the money is for the online, and the games are therefore free, you still have to acknowledge that all but two of the games are indeed free. So its like "buy 2 get 30ish free".
I have no interest in Bulletstorm but will definitely be grabbing Yakuza Kiwami.
