With some rare exceptions, Sony typically reveals the next batch of free PlayStation Plus games on the last Wednesday of every month, with the new titles added on the first Tuesday of the next month. Sony has stuck to that pattern when it comes ot the free PlayStation Plus games for October 2021, confirming the three games that subscribers can claim for their digital libraries starting Tuesday, October 5 when the PlayStation Store updates.

As it turns out, the free PS Plus games for October 2021 leaks were accurate. From October 5 to November 1, PS Plus subscribers can claim Hell Let Loose on PS5, and Mortal Kombat X and PGA Tour 2K21 on PS4. There are some fans who may be unimpressed by this lineup, as Mortal Kombat X is a pretty old game and PGA Tour 2K21 is a sports game, but Hell Let Loose is a brand new release.

Hell Let Loose, for the uninitiated, is a World War 2 shooter game with a massive scale. 100 player battles are the name of the game in Hell Let Loose, with 50 players on each team and 14 playable classes to choose from. Its status as a multiplayer-only shooter may limit its appeal to some, but it being a brand new release does reinforce the value of having a PlayStation Plus subscription, especially for PS5 gamers.

  • Hell Let Loose (PS5)
  • Mortal Kombat X (PS4)
  • PGA Tour 2K21 (PS4)

Mortal Kombat X, meanwhile, was the first Mortal Kombat game to release on PS4. Many fans of the franchise may be focused on Mortal Kombat 11, but MKX is still worth checking out, especially for those that have never played it before. It has some unique roster members that don't appear in Mortal Kombat 11, for instance, and that could be reason enough alone for fans of the franchise to check it out.

And finally, PGA Tour 2K21 is a golf game and the first entry in the PGA Tour 2K series, serving as a successor to The Golf Club. PGA Tour 2K21 is just over a year old at this point and is still the latest entry in the series.

While PlayStation Plus subscribers wait for the free PS Plus games for October 2021, they can make sure that they've claimed the free PS Plus games for September 2021. The free PS Plus games for September 2021 include Overcooked: All You Can Eat on PS5, while the PS4 offerings are Hitman 2 and Predator: Hunting Grounds. The games will be available to claim until Tuesday, October 5, at which point they will be replaced by the free PS Plus games for October 2021.
