PlayStation Plus members across the Extra and Premium tiers gain access to 23 games today. PS Plus Extra offers a massive catalog of PS4 and PS5 games, while Premium users also get to play select PS1, PSP, and PS2 titles, as well as PS3 games via online streaming.
Sony adds new games to the PS Plus Extra and Premium libraries in the middle of every month. Members can play these games for as long as they are a part of the PS Plus lineup, as fans lose access once they leave the service. This functions differently from the free monthly games available to users across all three tiers, as players have access to them for as long as their subscription lasts. The lineup for October 2022 is now available to PS Plus Extra and Premium members at no extra cost.
Earlier last week, Sony announced that PS Plus Extra and Premium members will get 23 games in October 2022. This includes Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - The Definitive Edition, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Dragon Quest 11 S: Echoes of an Elusive Age, Inside, and The Medium among others.

Many games from October’s PS Plus lineup do not take up too much storage space. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is quite large, as it requires users to download 82.030 GB of data, but games like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Dragon Quest 11 S need around 11.976 GB and 30.553 GB respectively. The critically acclaimed Inside only takes up 3.459 GB of storage, and the file sizes of the rest of the catalog are also quite reasonable.
The overall lineup of the Extra tier seems solid, but PS Plus Premium continues to disappoint users interested in playing retro games. Premium is the most expensive tier of the revamped PS Plus and the catalog of classic games is one of its biggest selling points. However, the lineup of PS1, PS2, and PSP titles appears to be lacking as the selection only has a few games to choose from.
