Highlights
- PS Plus Premium subscribers in October 2023 will have access to games that offer trophy support, allowing them to unlock achievements and increase their collection.
- The games Ape Escape Academy and Kurushi Final: Mental Blocks will have a Platinum trophy available, while Tekken 6 and Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny won't have trophy support.
- PS Plus members across all tiers can also play the free monthly games for October 2023, including The Callisto Protocol, Farming Simulator 22, and Weird West, at no extra cost.
Some games coming to the Premium tier of PlayStation Plus in October 2023 feature trophy support. PS Plus Premium subscribers get some additional benefits over the Extra tier, as users in this category can play select PS1, PS2, and PSP titles at no extra cost.
Sony updates this list regularly, with new games coming to the catalog every month. Some noteworthy games will be added to the PS Plus Extra and Premium library in October 2023, as members can try out Alien: Isolation, Disco Elysium, Gotham Knights, Outlast 2, and more. Premium subscribers will also get to play Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, Tekken 6, IQ Final, and Ape Escape Academy as a part of their subscription service. Now, it looks like some of the titles coming to PS Plus Premium this month will offer support for trophies.
Sony Unveils New Perk for PS Plus Premium Subscribers
Sony announces a new perk that may make PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers more accepting of the service’s recent price increase.
As reported by Push Square, trophies Ape Escape Academy and Kurushi Final: Mental Blocks have appeared on PSNProfiles, with both games offering a Platinum trophy as well. Players will be able to unlock trophies for performing certain in-game tasks such as clearing stages in Kurushi Final: Mental Blocks and playing mini-games in Ape Escape Academy, allowing fans to further increase their collection. It doesn’t seem like the other two games coming to PS Plus Premium, Tekken 6 and Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, will be getting trophy support when they are released.
Recent additions to PS Plus Premium have featured trophy support, as the classic games for August 2023 all came with this feature. Gamers were able to unlock trophies for MediEvil: Resurrection, Ape Escape: On the Loose, and Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice, so October’s lineup appears to be breaking this trend. As Ape Escape Academy and Kurushi Final: Mental Blocks are Sony-published games, it makes sense for them to come with support for trophies. However, it doesn’t look like this feature is mandatory for third-party titles, as evident by the lack of trophies for Tekken 6 and Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny.
This month’s PS Plus Extra and Premium games have already gone live in some regions, so subscribers now have a number of noteworthy games to try out. Additionally, PS Plus members across all three tiers can play the free monthly games for October 2023, giving them access to The Callisto Protocol, Farming Simulator 22, and Weird West at no extra cost. Overall, October seems to be a solid month for PS Plus subscribers, and it’ll be interesting to see how November’s lineup compares to this collection.
