PS Plus Extra: October 2025 Releases Unveiled with a Cult Title

PlayStation Plus Extra & Premium October Departures Announced

The PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium libraries are set for a refresh this month. Sony has announced which games will be departing in October, giving subscribers until then to enjoy certain beloved titles before they disappear.

PS Plus Extra Bids Farewell to Battlefield 1, Ghostbusters, The Last Clockwinder, Tour de France in Mid-October 2025

Four games are scheduled to leave PS Plus Extra around mid-October 2025. These titles include: Battlefield 1: Acclaimed for its massive World War I battles. Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Ecto Edition: An asymmetrical multiplayer game where players can choose to be hunters or ghosts. The Last Clockwinder: Known for its unique task automation gameplay. Tour de France 2023: Offering players one final opportunity to experience the famous cycling race. Their departure will make way for new additions to the service.

Subscribers still have some time to play these titles on PS Plus, but players aiming for a Platinum trophy may find the completion times challenging. Here is an overview of the estimated hours required: Battlefield 1: The solo campaign takes approximately 15 hours. However, achieving the Platinum trophy requires over 150 hours, largely due to online achievements. Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Ecto Edition: As an asymmetrical multiplayer game, it does not have a traditional ending. Players can cover the basics in about 10–12 hours, but securing the Platinum trophy will likely take 40–50 hours. The Last Clockwinder: The main story can be completed in about 5–6 hours. With a guide, the Platinum trophy can typically be earned in under 12 hours. Tour de France 2023: Experiencing several essential stages takes around 20 hours. For the Platinum trophy, players can expect to spend 60–80 hours, depending on their skill and consistency.

October PS Plus Lineup Smaller Than Anticipated, Sony Hints at Future Announcements

The PS Plus lineup for this month is notably smaller compared to previous months, which may come as a surprise to some. Typically, the PS Store removes more games at once, often exceeding a dozen titles. However, Sony frequently updates its “Last Chance to Play” section, indicating potential for additional game announcements soon. This month’s game rotation has prompted community members to question Sony’s strategy. While the PS Plus Extra and Premium catalog is expanding, October introduces only one new classic game for Premium/Deluxe subscribers. Some players anticipated more new additions, especially given the games departing. Nevertheless, popular titles such as Dead Island 2 are not leaving the service this month. The community awaits Sony’s next announcement to see what future lineups will bring.
