Sony’s lining up a spooky October for PlayStation Plus. From the Silent Hill 2 remake to the new Until Dawn on PS5, the month leans hard into horror, with a couple of good palette cleansers in Yakuza: Like a Dragon and As Dusk Falls. Classics fans also get Tekken 3 via the Premium/Deluxe tier. All this drops on 21 October 2025—expect it to show up around lunchtime in the UAE.
The headline acts: Silent Hill 2 and Until Dawn
Two big horror releases lead the pack, fitting for October.
- Silent Hill 2 (PS5)
- Until Dawn (2024) (PS5)
Konami’s Silent Hill 2 remake arrived last year and brought the 2001 classic up to modern standards; now it’s on PS Plus for PS5 owners. The 2024 Until Dawn is a PS5 remake of Supermassive’s cult hit with tidier pacing and updated visuals—nice one-sitting slasher fare. Both join the Game Catalogue for Extra and Premium/Deluxe members on 21 October.

The rest of the Game Catalogue drop
A tidy mix of survival, narrative and sandbox.
- V Rising (PS5)
- Yakuza: Like a Dragon (PS5/PS4)
- As Dusk Falls (PS5/PS4)
- Poppy Playtime: Chapter 1 (PS5/PS4)
- Wizard with a Gun (PS5)
V Rising brings vampire survival to PS5, Yakuza: Like a Dragon remains a brilliant, weird RPG detour, As Dusk Falls is a solid couch co-op narrative, Poppy Playtime offers short, streamer-friendly scares, and Wizard with a Gun is a crafty co-op time sink. All are included for Extra and Premium/Deluxe.
If you’re tracking monthly rotations, we covered September’s PS Plus UAE timings and tiers here, and the pattern’s the same this month—catalogue titles go live on a Tuesday and appear by early afternoon locally.
Classics hit: Tekken 3 (Premium/Deluxe)
One all-timer joins the Classics Catalogue.
- Tekken 3 (PS1, via Classics)
- Available to Premium/Deluxe members
Tekken 3 returns with the usual modern emulation perks: rewind, quick save, and visual filters. It’s the obvious nostalgia pick this month and sits behind the top PS Plus tier. UAE subscribers see the Deluxe label instead of Premium, but it unlocks the same Classics library.
When it goes live in the UAE (and which tier you need)
Plan your download window and avoid the “why isn’t it here yet?” spiral.
- Date: Tuesday, 21 October 2025
- Time: From around noon local time (PS Store refresh), so expect titles to appear by early afternoon in the UAE.
- Tiers: Extra or Premium/Deluxe for Game Catalogue; Premium/Deluxe for Tekken 3 in Classics.
