On Tuesday, October 5, PS Plus will be bringing in its next selection of free titles. This also means that there are only a few days left to get September’s games, which include Overcooked: All You Can Eat (PS5), Hitman 2 (PS4), and Predator: Hunting Grounds (PS4). If, for whatever reason, someone was waiting until the last minute to claim these PS Plus titles, it’s officially hit that time.
Their replacements include WW2 Shooter Hell Let Loose for PS5, as well as Mortal Kombat X and PGA Tour 2K21 for PS4. While these games may be a bit on the nose, here’s what curious subscribers should know about them.
PS Plus Free Game for October 2021 – Hell Let Loose (PS5)
This WW2-based first-person shooter simulates the scale and tactics of some of the war’s biggest conflicts. There are 50v50 fights and several squads/roles for players to take on in the game, with the Commander also introducing real-time strategy elements through the acquisition and distribution of resources. Current game modes focus on capture and control gameplay, with one of its biggest draws being its incredibly detailed maps. Omaha Beach, Hill 400, Stalingrad, Kursk, and more are all included, designed and based on their real-world counterparts through satellite imagery, historical aerial photography, and street-level recreation. Each map utilizes these to a different extent, of course, but they are as accurate as any game could be.
PS Plus Free Game for October 2021 – Mortal Kombat X (PS4)
Mortal Kombat X is the middle game in the latest story of the brutal fighting franchise. It is the sequel to 2011’s Mortal Kombat and comes before Mortal Kombat 11, the most recent entry in the franchise. Though it’s pretty obvious, it’s a 1v1 PvP or CPU fighting game that focuses on hardcore combos, powerful attacks, and more. Its story mode focuses around Shinnok, his amulet, and the fate of Earthrealm, taking about 6 or so hours to beat. Overall, such a game is defined by its roster, with Mortal Kombat X’s playable characters being rather solid—24 launch characters, 9 DLC (and featuring some horror characters for the season.)
PS Plus Free Game for October 2021 – PGA Tour 2K21
PGA Tour 2K21 is an incredibly thorough golfing simulator. It has all the trappings of not just a golf game but a good game. Players can take on the career mode, aiming to become the FedExCup Champion while playing alongside PGA Tour Pros such as Justin Thomas. Several courses are inspired by real-life courses, but players can still design and personalize their character however they wish, as well as make custom courses however they wish. Indeed, PGA Tour 2K21 offers all the options anyone would need, from changes in basic play, rule changes, party games, and clubhouses fine-tuned to the player’s standards.
PS Plus subscribers get a handful of free games every month.
