The PS Plus October 2017 games lineup is now available to download on PS4, PS3 and PS Vita.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the big name in the PlayStation Plus roster this month.
It’s one of the biggest AAA games ever offered by Sony and will likely prove a high watermark for the subscription in 2017.
Hideo Kojima’s swansong to the Metal Gear Solid series received rave reviews from critics upon release and will be FREE to download for PlayStation Plus subscribers until early November.
The other big game heading to the PS Plus October 2017 line-up for PS4 fans is Amnesia: Collection.
It also means that the likes of inFAMOUS: Second Son and Child of Light on PS4, have now been switched out for the new lineup and are no longer available to download.
Describing Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, the PlayStation Plus team said: “The culmination of three decades of cutting-edge development, Kojima Productions’ farewell to the Metal Gear universe brought together dozens of disparate elements to deliver an open-world stealth-action sandbox quite unlike any other.
“As legendary soldier Big Boss, it’ll be up to you to run countless incursions into the conflict-ridden territories of Afghanistan and Central Africa as you work to liberate captured comrades and recruit new personnel to rebuild your decimated private army.
“Over the course of the adventure you’ll develop new weapons, capture key targets and uncover the shadowy figures that betrayed your organisation – all in the lust for vengeance.”
Like most weeks, the PS4 games lineup has been supplemented with other titles, such as RIGS: Mechanised Combat League for PlayStation VR.
There’s also Sky Force Anniversary and Hue, the two PS Vita games, which are both playable on PS4.
Here is the full PS Plus October 2017 lineup as revealed on the PlayStation Blog:
- Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (PS4)
